I have some advice for water parks and dating, don't let her see your eyes wander or the water won't be the only thing that's cold.

From experience, the water park can be a very positive thing for a relationship. Think about it, you're both wearing next to nothing, you'll have playful contact with eachother when on the various rafts, tubes, etc., and you have other girls checking you out, which will make her appreciate you even more.

I had a set up last weekend - we went canoeing. I was a bit nervous meeting someone and letting them into a tippy watercraft with me, but he ended up being a very skilled canoe-er. It was lots of fun!

Well, that didn't go so bad... I'm not used to being with such a shy girl, but we had a good time anyway. Hung out at the waterpark for a while, then went out for supper with the rest of my fam, this entire time my bro's friends are all screaming and being annoying as hell!! But then we went off on our own to see a movie. Usually i wouldn't consider a movie for a first date, but i figured we wouldn't have to make conversation - that can wait 'til she's more comfortable, if there's another date, don't ask me, but i wouldn't mind, lol.

simer,simer,simer.....

first off - never approach a girl from the front (it blocks thier mental escape route). step up from behind but if the girls is very shy do not make body contact. from here you can do several things and score all kinds of big points with her :}

a shoulder rub while overlooking something romantic works wonders for the very shy

a gentle kiss on the ear followed by the slightly cheesy "sorry,I couldnt resist" (if she smiles or give any sign of positive reaction continue on.

sliding your arms around her waist and holding hands is also a tried and true method...

above all else pay attention to the girls expression, if its tense back off and if its relaxed go forward. hold her hand when ever presented the chance and be sure to smile a lot.

and remember, i didnt get to be a dirtyoldman without a lot of experiance at it :}

TPM????what's that supposed to mean...a "whole lotta self love"?

Let's just say when I dated in my early 20's, there wasn't anyone worth it. Then in my mid 20's when I had a baby until she grew up, I had other priorites, like raising a baby on my own(loser father), putting myself through school, and working, that didn't leave a whole lot of time for anything else. So whatever you're trying to incinuate, is probably totally wrong, so whatever you think, knock yourself out.

Skeetah, I don't think PackMan was trying to be offensive. I think he was just being perverted. I think he was referring to the kind of "self love" a woman has for herself when she gets herself a friend B.O.B. :o)

I hesitated to post anything here since I have been out of the dating scene for over 30 years. However, I went thru hell when I first started dating. Being a nerd in high school, I didn't date then. Then in college I started dating. I found I was struggling to get dates, spending a lot of money, and getting nowhere. Finally I got some advice from some friends.

They told me to quit spending a lot of money on dates. Instead, treat all dates as "practice dates" and just do things to get acquainted: picnics, hikes, bike riding, etc. No expensive restaurants or concerts until later. Anyway, after that things went better. I think I was trying too hard and needed to chill out a little. The "practice date" concept took the pressure off.

And We Think we Have It Rough!?!
Spiders go from wed to dead
Males self-destruct to keep their mates faithful.
25 June 2003
JOHN WHITFIELD


A dead male cannot be moved for at least 15 minutes.
© Corbis



The male orb-weaving spider self-destructs during mating. By dying while still joined to a female, his corpse forms a kind of chastity belt, say ecologists.

Male spiders have two sex organs, called palps, which they insert into the female one after another. When the spider Argiope aurantia uses his second palp he suffers an irreversible seizure, say Matthias Foellmer and Daphne Fairbairn of the University of California, Riverside.

"Immediately after, he becomes motionless," says Foellmer. "Males show the typical dead posture, with legs folded under the body. Their hearts stop within 15 minutes."

The dead male's inflated palp remains wedged inside the female.. This prevents her from mating again, and gives his sperm crucial minutes to fertilize her eggs. "The female cannot pull the male out for at least 15-25 minutes," says Foellmer. "Other males try hard to pull the dead male out, but often fail."

Like many spiders, the female eventually eats her deceased ex, but she is a bystander to his demise.

Males probably put their whole selves into mating because finding a female is so onerous. Such extreme investment is common in spiders - others are so exhausted by sex that they stagger away and die, still more encourage the female to eat them, as it allows them to mate for longer.

But Argiope is, so far, the only animal found to be programmed to die during mating, says Foellmer.

The funniest part is where it explains how the male spiders "stagger away and die" or "encourage the female to eat them, as it allows them to mate for longer" Males will do just about anything for a piece of a$$, huh? LOL!
