That is sweet!
How very nice for you B. Bear! But, remember, it takes time to really fall in love. You may be infatuated at this point. But it feels good doesn't it?

I think in general Friends have a "domino effect" to them.

I always try to make a habit of knowing peoples names. It seems that once you know one person they will introduce you to others...

Then you tend to become friends at an exponential rate...

So if you wanted to try and use this to meet women it would make sense because you would meeting more to begin with.

As for the friends / nice guy thing... I think that you can tell off the bat that there is more than a friends "opportunity"... but for the most part learn to take only the "fruit" that you are given.

Don't try to shake the tree...sometimes the fruit falls into your lap on its own!"

i'm not emailing any naked pics. when you get into your 40's, naked pics aren't so much fun to take anymore. but if any of you cute young guys want to send out naked pics, i certainly don't mind

Dudes these chics in here sound like ballbusting hos for the last few days. I guess it must be the moon and PMS sitting in. Wait till they get horney. They'll be back wanting some good goob. All you have to do is tell'em you love them. Till then tell them to shut up and quit complaining already.

Five Secrets to a perfect Relationship
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and who doesn't lie to you.
4. It is important that a man is good in bed and loves making love to you.
5. It is very important that these four men don't know each other.

Secrets to a Perfect Relationship from the Dudes Point of View
1. It’s always about the money. They want it. Never forget this.
2. Tell the ho you love her. You don’t have to mean it to get what you want.
3. Don’t be a fool dude. Chics give it away for free. Why be tied down in a relationship with all the free booty?
4. Never tell a ho it was your fault. Because it isn’t. The ho is just being moody or she wants the money.
5. If you think you’re falling for some b!tch, get your krewe to beat some sense into you. Go take a long ride on your bike. Remember you’ll have to sell your ride cause the ho will want a crib and some bling.
6. Never let the ho borrow your ride.
7. Only pay for the date if the b!tch be given it up.
8. Never take your town b!tch with you on a road trip. Road hos are for that.

OK my turn to ask for advice
There's a guy I race with and keep in contact with regarding training etc. Of course he mostly sees the competitive, athletic side of me (including the after 27 hours of racing couture look) But we've also gotten together with the team for dinner, strategy meetings etc so he has seen me in more feminine business attire. I'm kind of attracted to him. I know he's not married and haven't ever talked to him about having a girlfriend or anything. Can't tell if I'm seeing positive signals or just imagining them. Problem is I'm a weenie and never have asked a guy out AND how do you encourage something without ruining the team thing if it ends up badly?

signed, not pining but curious

Oooo, tough one dhutch. I mean, I can give some suggestions to see if he's interested or not, that should be relatively easy, but how to keep the team together should it not work out? That's the tough part, and really depends on the personalities involved. And of course, the reasons for it not working out.

go for it dhutch, ask him if he has a gf at least you will find that out and maybe it will open things up for you
Ewker

Thanks Ewker, Isn't that kind of obvious or am I over sensitive.

Maybe if I pick an AR event or seminar and ask if he wants to catch a bite prior? There's something going on Wednesday. I could include our other teammate so as not to be singling him out?

Dhutch - go over to his house, break in, and boil a bunny on his stove in a big ole' pot. Guys like that kind of attention!

Well, according to lyra, if he doesn't have a woman in his life, he gets his clothes off of homeless people.

So, keep an eye on what he wears, and if it looks like it was recently stolen from a homeless person, the he probably doesn't have a girlfriend.

dhutch, just make sure it doesn't interfere with our time together over the holidays ;)


yeah it is kind of obvious but you will know and no more guessing. Men ask women if they are seeing someone all the time so what difference does it make.

Sounds like Ewker is gonna have a good holiday!!! ;)

Dhutch, see if he wants to catch a bite to eat. Don't bother with the rest of the team if you just want to get to know him.

I see no problem in opening the door that way, but I wouldn't continue to pursue him, whether he bites or not. (IMHO), relationships work much better when he gets to pursue.

I agree with you Smiley, that's always what I've thought. Any guy that isn't bold enough to do the asking will never be able to handle me. But I think I know the answer to my question smiley, it's just we may both be in the same situation. Already have a good racing thing going both too afraid to take a chance in ruining it.
