Dating??? I remember what that was, I think.” 2:00:36 PM 5/19/03 “after a 3 months absence,,big foot shows up with three months worth of posts to this one thread.... ;-)” 2:10:46 PM 5/19/03 “Sux, sux, sux! First, Kim backed-out of the prom: "My daughter is sick, and I need to blah blah blah..." Then, Cynth calls enroute to my party Sat. nite: "I'm at hwy 212, which way do I turn?" Then, "I'm at 81 - which way?" Then, "I'm at 75 - I haven't seen Sandy Ridge Rd. yet." "You passed it 12 miles back." I say. "Well, I'm gonna go home - I'll take you to dinner next week." Yeah... we'll see.” 2:12:40 PM 5/19/03 “Geeez Bigfoot. It's Dating, not a trashy, Harlequin novel! Or did you date Danielle Steele?” 2:13:24 PM 5/19/03 “You don't need to date; just have dinner and go to bed.” 2:16:18 PM 5/19/03 “or,,,,just skip the dinner....” 2:17:29 PM 5/19/03 “or just skip the date then you dont' have to turn him down or the bed!” 7:21:24 PM 5/19/03 Damn! “You're a depressing bunch! Perhaps you're taking yourselves too seriously. Heck, I had fun making the Schwan man blush. I order ice cream bars every two weeks whether we need them or not. :o) Only thing... I couldn't get them to deliver a key lime pie in another state. What's up with that?!?!” 8:06:08 PM 5/19/03 “I don't even know why i'm commenting on this thread again... but, maybe dating isn't that bad...” 1:33:10 PM 5/27/03 Dating sucks “I have to agree, having had a date Sat. night. I'm too young to date a grandmother!” 1:40:54 PM 5/27/03 I disagree “I spent the weekend on the beach with a good looking redhead. I kind of think dating is cool.....this week.” 1:42:41 PM 5/27/03 “Nowslimmer, what is wrong with grandmothers. My Mom was a grandmother when she was my age. I think that you meant to say that you are too young to date a person who acts like a senior citizen.” 1:43:06 PM 5/27/03 “I'm too young to date anyone who acts like a senior citizen. In fact, I don't date at all...my wife probably wouldn't allow it.” 1:46:42 PM 5/27/03 “Gemini is a grandmother, and I'd date her.” 1:46:54 PM 5/27/03 “I sure as hell ain't gonna date a grandma... but i do agree that dating isn't terrible, i think i might be able to handle it.” 1:53:21 PM 5/27/03 “I lived with someone who was a grandmother for a while. She looked and acted about 5 years younger than me (although she was older than I am). I didn't have a problem with the fact she was a grandmother, but keeping a two year old and a one year old on the weekend really sucked. If I wanted to go through the terrible two's again, I would find someone about 23 and just start the hell over.” 1:56:48 PM 5/27/03 “That was a nice pay to state it, LyndyS. It's just the idea of it. The woman was probably 20 years younger than me. She is a neighbor and expressed a desire to go backpacking with me. But she is out, since I learned that she probably cannot carry 40 pounds. For some background on this date, visit my post on the odd string.” 2:28:15 PM 5/27/03 “Oh you don't want to date someone who can't carry her gear and yours. Why didn't I think of that! I wonder if it is too late to get an annullment? j/k I don't get it, Adak, she is 20 years younger than you and wants to see if backpacking with you is fun. She isn't asking you to carry the grandbabies into the wilderness, is she? You must not like something else about her. Maybe her nose hairs, or the little veins around her ankles. Maybe she is *gasp* bossy?”2:34:38 PM 5/27/03 “"Well, I'm gonna go home - I'll take you to dinner next week." Yeah... we'll see. ~gojo 02:12:40 PM 05/19/03 Guess what? NO DINNER! I saw her in the hall late last week (Friday?). "I've been feeling poor all week. I had a hair appointment. My sock drawer needed re-arranging. I bla bla bla..." It's very frustrating. I'm really a pretty nice guy. I'm not bad looking - rather "hamsom", in fact - heh. I'm quite entertaining. Educated. Clean (out of the backcountry). Loyal. WTF gives?” 3:11:33 PM 5/27/03 “I'm really a pretty nice guy. - gojo There's your problem. Women treat us "nice" guys like crap.” 3:19:09 PM 5/27/03 “I probably blew it. I'm not used to dating. I think she was just backing out. But I suspect she will end up gong with me to Ocala NF 3 next February, if she is in town. About every three months she goes to Calif. to visit her grandchildren. I'm the one with all the hair! I have not had a haircut or shave for over three months. I'm waiting for a minor, scalp infection to clear before I enter a barber shop. But she was aware of this.” 3:23:29 PM 5/27/03 “New trailname.... "Shaggy"? <G>” 3:30:13 PM 5/27/03 Dating sucks “Maybe "Limpy." She did observe and mention my limp. She probably decided that this "grandfather" is too old for her.” 3:46:34 PM 5/27/03 “After reviewing my bank account, I've decided that I'll go out and buy a date tonight.” 3:48:25 PM 5/27/03 “Dates suck. I'd much rather eat fruits like apples and oranges.” 4:15:07 PM 5/27/03 “so does anybody have any dating success stories? One of those perfect romantic moments... one of those nights that you'll remember forever... lol, i have a few, but nothing really worth typing...” 5:03:55 PM 5/27/03 “Gojo and Nowslimmer, you are right, dating sucks. I guess I have forgotten the agony of not being able to read minds and know wtf happened to derail things. At least you guys have us TT friends to badger and insult you into feeling much better. Sorry and I hope things turn for the better.” 5:09:44 PM 5/27/03 I need help... “Do I put too much emphasis on looks? i think i do... it could ruin a perfect relationship... am I that shallow? I can't figure it out, why should looks matter so much, i can't lie.” 10:10:43 PM 5/27/03 19 “I married at 19. Had to get custody of younger brothers/sisters. Still married to the same sweetheart (most of the time) 30 some odd years later.” 10:34:39 PM 5/27/03 “Looks matter, but looks change as you change. What's in your heart has much to do with what you see in another person. And how you seen that other person. Sound's trite, but just be yourself. Be okay with yourself. 8)” 10:36:22 PM 5/27/03 “When I got married in Panama, my wife asked me if I would like to have a large family. I replied, "Why not? Whatever you like, dear." The next day 16 of her relatives moved in with us.” 11:13:42 PM 5/27/03 “wait till you get married” 11:15:36 PM 5/27/03 Dates Unclog Me. “Dates give me the runs.” 4:53:07 AM 5/28/03 “I agree with most of you here, that dating definitely sucks the big one. I don't wish to try it again. Although I think I found a way around it...met someone special...now to just make it through the rest of my life with them, and I will definitely be one happy camper! (err...packer :P)” 5:03:32 AM 5/28/03 “Ahhhhhhh, dating. Hoping for the best. I used to be way more hung up on certain type looks than I am now. Ya maybe just have to mature a bit..... realize it truly is what's inside..... AS LONG AS HE IS NOT A GARGOYLE!!!!” 7:21:59 AM 5/28/03 “What about a cyclope! Back to the grandmother comment or acting old.. I have meet people in their 20ties that act older than me... and GEmini is a perfect example of a grandma that is young.. so I guess it wouldn'tmatter much as long as you liked the person right. rox” 7:27:42 AM 5/28/03 “stovestomper Don't get caught up in that nice guy's get treated like crap stuff. Would you really want to be with a woman who doesn't respect a nice guy? They are not worth it. Just be yourself. gojo Move on and don't dwell on it and take it personally man. That's like digging yourself into a hole.” 7:39:57 AM 5/28/03 “What's you nice guys definition of a "nice guy?"” 7:53:56 AM 5/28/03 “Yeah, let's hear the "nice guys" describe themselves.” 8:40:51 AM 5/28/03 I'm a nice guy.... “...but my wife won't let me describe myself on line! LOL!” 8:48:09 AM 5/28/03 “It ain't for me to say. I'm a dirty old man. My day is not a success until I get someone mad.” 8:51:54 AM 5/28/03 “Nice guys won't describe themselves - you women will only take that information and use it against them ;op” 8:56:51 AM 5/28/03 “A nice guy ..someone that compromises..and for me..doesnt' brag and show over aggresive tendencies...” 9:13:11 AM 5/28/03 “I wish i could see a girl for what's on the inside... that's what i fell in love with, maybe i need to mature a bit, I haven't learned how to control my emotions yet, and now i don't know what to do.” 9:28:24 AM 5/28/03 “Oh, by the way... Online relationships suck.” 9:29:00 AM 5/28/03 “The outside can be fun though Simer ;o)” 9:31:03 AM 5/28/03 “And you're gonna have to explain the first point a bit :o)” 9:32:42 AM 5/28/03 “I was in an relationship with a guy I meet online for 2 yrs.. it wasn't any different than meeting someone just out hanging around... I actually knew him better than people I did meet out. At least online (and this is my thought) you get to email and chat before you meet them.” 9:37:30 AM 5/28/03 “"so does anybody have any dating success stories? One of those perfect romantic moments... one of those nights that you'll remember forever..." ~simer190 "What's you nice guys definition of a "nice guy?"" ~twigeater "Yeah, let's hear the "nice guys" describe themselves." ~lizs "gojo Move on and don't dwell on it and take it personally man. That's like digging yourself into a hole." ~JO” 10:58:44 AM 5/28/03 LOL! “Oh come on gojo, tell us! =D” 11:19:23 AM 5/28/03 Jump to Page << prev
