Dating sucks

“sorry but I am not that easy.

Wendy's all the way!

“sorry but I am not that easy.

LOL!”

“The classiest date I ever had was a General's Daughter. Her father was really a good friend and had set me up on a couple of "Dinner parties" as her escort.

One Friday I managed to get a date with her. I picked her up and asked her where she wanted to go...."Barbque" was her reply.

I just about lost it when she ordered the ribs....um I think most of you know where I am going....”

“Oh dear...girlfriend just called...apparently her parents are having a big "family Sunday Dinner" (extended family) and she was mentioning people to invite...her dad told her,"Call that young man of yours at least I will have someone to chat with."...LOL”

“Is someone yelling at you with a shotgun pointed at your head considered chatting?”

“holy crap MG, even applebees has two forks”

“ruh roh...XL is in deep caca”

“Meangreen -
Your post makes you seem snobish... elitist?

So she asked "why two forks?" So what. Perhaps she was accustomed to three. Chew on that awhile...


At least she did not ask "why two chopsticks?" lol!”

“Thrifty...YOU GOT FORKED TWICE at Applebees...I am impressed...(LOL)

CD..this old guy actually does not like ANYONE. When we first met he looked at me and said,"What are your intentions with my daughter?" LOL I looked at him and said,'Sell her for White slavery?"

He got this twinkle in his eye and offered me a cup of coffee.”

“I am just funnin' you XL. Sounds like you guys will get along just fine!”

“Lumber, you are to nice to your women.

“i agree with gojo on that point mg... you say you've not been on a date in a long time, take the girl to a really nice place - maybe you should have anticipated she didn't frequent such places every friday night (and perhaps never). If you liked her enough to take her somewhere so nice, a little patience on your part might have allowed you to have a fun time, and who knows, maybe a second date. To let that ruin your $200 meal is your fault - not hers.”

“Well, I dont know about anyone else but I bet I can eat everything they bring to the table with just one of those forks (except soup). I would never expect anymore out of someone and wouldnt like it if someone expected more out of me. If so then I should reconsider who I was out with.”

“Like I said she was the one that didn't return MY calls, but there was a lot more than that. She said she wasn't sure she could trust anyone who didn't consider themselves a solid christian because who knows what kind of values they believe in?! Like anyone who wasn't completely sure about being a christian was something to be avoided because they just might try to sacrifice you to satan. I didn't make much of a deal about the fork thing at the time, and just chalked it up to lack of oportunity, but looking back it seemed funny. I didn't take her there because I wanted to impress her anyway. We work in the same place and make the same shlt pay. I chose that restaurant because I wanted to go there. It's no mystery that I can't afford to eat in such places very often, but I do realy enjoy a first class steak dinner once in a blue moon. I just thought it was a shame that the experience was lost on her.”

“Human sacrifice *will* sometimes put a damper on the evening if everyone isn't in the spirit of things -----”

“meangreen I know which fork to use, but I guess that is a European thing anyway ;-)
It sucks going to a nice place with someone special and to realize the other person just doesn't know to appreciate it and the corner shop take-away would have been just the same for them. It is a wasted evening for both.
It is just natural to want to share the things one loves and enjoys with those they hope to become a special person in their life.

It's like taking a date out on a hiking trip and they are all for it and boast about all the long, tough hikes they have done. Then you take them on a hike, but as soon as you hit the trail they start #&%!$ing and whining about they didn't knew they would have to walk so much up and down, or that the trail would be so muddy, that there would be puddles or that there would be weather, or whatnot. It's a wasted day.
That's what happens when someone just fakes interest and pretends to be something they are not, just to get on you or for a date. It raises hopes and expectations that will be disappointed.


Hey, here is an interesting note: in fact, in WWII some American POW on the run were captured by the Nazis, simply because they blew their cover and gave away their true identity using only a fork, rather than eating with knife and fork.”

“LOL..@Tilt...oh Don't I know..

A SOLID CHRISTIAN...I am thinking a statue...or Maybe Tammy Faye Baker? (Hell she had enough stuff on her).”

“Hey, here is an interesting note: in fact, in WWII some American POW on the run were captured by the Nazis, simply because they blew their cover and gave away their true identity using only a fork, rather than eating with knife and fork.

Well, that and Americans do the "fork dance"...holding the fork with the left hand to hold whatever we are cutting with the knife in the right, and then shifting the fork to the right hand to pick up the food to eat it.”

“I was amused the other day when I was eating at Golden Corral steak house. There was an asian family at the next table and they were all eating with chopsticks. I had this silly image of them trying to eat with a fork and the food falling off and they finally saying, "Screw this. Waitress, do you have any chopticks?"”

lol...hahahaaaaaaaa”

“Yes, I have seen the 'fork dance'. A friend of mine, from South Caolina, though would hardly ever use the knife at all. I was surprised to see that he even could eat Wiener Schnitzel only using the fork to cut off bite size pieces.”

“@ the University where I work, you can always tell the Europeans...they eat with a fork & knife....one of my fav girls went back home to Germany last week :(”

“I came from a large family. You ate with your fork and protected your food with your knife. :)”

“lol..hahahaaaaaa”

“We have Indian friends and I like the way they eat - use the chapati bread to pick up the food...”

“Internet dating Mr. Steamy

A while ago I started �dating� someone I had met in the virtual reality of the www. He had started writing me and somehow and to my surprise we clicked almost instantly. He had a great sense of humor, was attentive, a wonderful listener, an excellent advisor, a backpacker. An interesting man through and through :-) He was someone I could go to if I needed to whine and he was always patient, always positive. In turn, many times he would come to me to vent. He was awesome. There was lots of play, lots of innuendo.

Some of his emails were so hot�oh boy, I mean hot, like�wow, almost burning a hole through my monitor!

A few month later I happened to come through his town, or at least fairly close by, so it wouldn�t have been too much of a detour for me to meet him. I was excited to finally meet the man behind that internet persona. But the very moment I told him that I could drop in for a weekend visit, a stop over, a cup of coffee,�Mr. Steamy suddenly started making excuses: his job, his wife (dude, you had called her your ex and much worse names!?), his responsibilities for his family, whatever. He told me he would see what he could do to meet me there, but couldn�t promise me anything. Basically he just let me hanging in limbo, whether he would show up or not.

I have been there before, too many times, this moment of �let down�, as not to recognize the tell tale signs. Nevertheless, I don�t want my life to be ruled by hurt and bad experiences from the past. Hope dies last. I must belief that next time it may be different.

Well, to make the story short: no, Mr. Steamy didn�t show up. I have been there, waiting for nothing. He said it was his job. That�s what he said. Maybe it was true. Maybe it wasn�t. I have no way of telling.

After that I didn�t hear much from Mr. Steamy anymore.”

“damn it, it was an important meeting”

“Well, when it comes to dating everyone makes mistakes. That just shows that you try. The worlds not gonna meet you halfway. I have made my fair share of mistakes and met some people that I dont have words for. But, the trick is not to give up. I always think of the picture with the crane standing in the water with a frog in its mouth and the frog has its hands around the birds throat. And the caption says "never give up". :))”

“I went on a blind date once w/a guy who was a bridge engineer. We talked on the phone before we met, he seemed like a nice guy.

We met for dinner. Somehow (right away) we got talking about old TV shows. 15 minutes into the date, he was talking about an episode of the Waltons and he started CRYING because it "touched him so". omg...I'm all for sensitive men but that did it for me. I got up, thanked him for the meeting and left him to cry in his French Onion Soup.

Yeah, I don't miss dating. lol”

“I ussually cried when the girl got up, thanked me for the meeting and left me to cry in my French Onion Soup.”

“I gave up long ago and I'm a much happier man as a result”

“Who eats onions on a date? Well I guess the goodnight kiss would be memorable.”

“I thought eurohike was a dude. SORRY!”

“LMAO @ MG...no wonder you have such sucky dates!!
J/k dude (UP ducks and runs!)

And now I have to get off this thread since my dating situation most definitely does NOT suck! :)”

“nemster I totally agree. I have made acquaintances with a number of potentials. After the first blush of excitement wears off you learn alot about them.

I have been burned more than I care to imagine. But I still keep going out. The thing I have learned is not to put my expectations on another person. Sadly there are way to many people who decide they will make their life on depending on others to live up to their dreams. Most of those people become very apparent after a while.

LOL...I dated a girl who on the second date began telling me how I should change to "please her". And I have learned ALL TOO WELL the anger of a woman scorned. (LOL) Granted I think my attorney made out well.

Nah today I am who I am. I have found way too damn many women who want me for who I am and enjoy me, blemishes and all.”

“Ok Dating sucks again. 7 days after it began not sucking....lol....well at least it is a different girl this time. Knew it wouldn't take me long to get back to this thread.”

“Funny, today, the girl I took to the fancy restaurant was all friendly with me, and approached me at least 6 times to talk. We went out like 6 weeks ago, and since then all she has said was "hello" in passing. A confusing one, she is. I don't expect we'll go out again though. Shame too. GD she's HOT, HOT, HOT! But I'm now old enough to truely know that it takes a helluva lot more than that.”

“i miss dating”

“I don't”

“Dizzy! sup stranger?!”

“a lot! looking for a new place to live. what's up with you?”

“8-O
Hope all's well. things r ok w. me. About the same as always.”

“i wrote you at the other place”

“uno momento”

“Crap...okay was going to "have dinner" tonight. Figured it would be a nice dinner, chat....um Mom and dad are going to do the church thing.

AND...the kids will be chaperoning us. (LOL) And they want to go do a "night critter search". So I gotta get out of here, race by the farm, get a couple of the kids packs I have and my boots.”

“Lemme guess....

http://www.AryanHookups.com”

“LOL..tilty hasn't figured it out yet but I am not exactly the "aryan" ideal....”

“Sure --- take her out to the hog farm and show her a good time.”

“ZING....right over his pointy head and into the wall of the MANCAVE~”

“I always wondered why those hoods were 'pointy' like that.”
