Dating Blows

“Try Marrage!! Remember that Chris Rock routine about new pu$$y? lol”

“Don't know that one. How does it go?”

“He debates new (first time) vs. old pu$$y (married). Old pu$$y will cook you chicken soup when your sick. New pu$$y can't cook. Old will read to you in bed. New Pu$$y is iliterate... and so on.. and so on..”

“I could say something right about now.... but why #&%!$ myself over for no reason?”

“That's the difference between you and me, Tilt. I usually just go ahead and say it. LOL!”

“but tilt aren't you married? or is it that you're married and available for dating?”

“I guess all the girls I know (college) fall under the new category since I haven't met but a couple that can cook.”

“LOL... Kindof the opposite: 'Single and not really looking'. Yes, I usually do too, Lizs; I just had a moment of clarity there.

I never knew Dub was so kinky, <G>... Looking for a couple that can cook?”

“The proof is in the puddin'.”

“I could care less if they can cook. They way to my heart is a little South of my stomach.”

“'Single and not really looking'

What a pathetic loser! Come out of the closet already.”

“I'm on woman-vacation. My daughter came down from northern Ontario to spend four days with me last week-end; this week-end I'm visiting an old buddy in Ontario for pubs and fly fishing; then it's the Ithaca car camping cook-off; then it's our annual summer rugby blast week-end; then I'll take four or five days to drive out to Wyoming for Windorama; then, oh I dunno - somtehing fun.

I blew the last two hunting seasons because I was in a (two) relationship and I want to get my dear this year as the freezer is just about out of caribou.

If it's not fun, run. Now that I'm single I keep forgetting to be unhappy.

Pfthbbbbbt.”

“hey Mutt, that's a pretty dumb thing to say, considering you're always b-tching about the "christofascists" monitoring everyone's sexuality! calling someone "in the closet" as an insult doesn't quite jive with that, homeboy.”

“That's DEER not dear (Freudian?)”

“I was beginning to wonder which dear you were getting the freezer for, grem, as you had just said that you were on a woman-vacation.”

message from Mutt being ignored

"Lookout Muttley! Lyra can kick your ass with one frontal lobe tied behind her back!”

“How come that last message from Mutt is on ignore? is that Big Brother's doing?”

“Interesting... the first Mutt response I can read but the second one says it's being ignored. I have never put anyone on an ignore list.


Anyhoo!

I was just thinking the same thing as another serious relationship appears imminent. *hearing jaws theme song in background* Do I REALLY want to do this?? I feel my feet have become bricks of ice and the chill is radiating upward. Cold feet! Cold feet! I feel a major urge to run the other way!!”

“Exactly --

It's much less dramatic this way, LOL


I heard the Jaws Theme very loudly last time and ignored it. I really should have listened.”

“Advice to Sunshine: Runaway! Run East and have a meaningless fling in DC...”

“yeah, I actually AGREE with Tilt on something..single and not looking is a very good way of life.

The thought of someone calling my house everyday, wondering where I am if I don't check in....yuck!! Makes my stomach turn just to think about it.

I have a date Friday night and he has already called me everyday this week. Obviously he is looking forward to this more than I. I guess it's time to be honest with him and say I am just not interested in going out with anyone right now.

What do you think guys, should I give it to him straight or lie to him and say I have to wash my hair??

If you're lucky it does!!!”

“"The thought of someone calling my house everyday, wondering where I am if I don't check in....yuck!! Makes my stomach turn just to think about it"

You've dated someone like that? For how long?

"I guess it's time to be honest with him and say I am just not interested in going out with anyone right now."

Don't take this personally, but that's not true honesty. If he were the right person he would knock you off your feet and you would be interested in dating. He doesn't do it for you, tell him you're not compatible.”

“Tex, I say you go out with him once. And if you don't have fun, don't do it again. But, you *might* just have some fun even though he's calling all the time. If you have fun with him, you could say nicely that there's no need to call you every single day! YOu're a girl with a busy life, after all! One night out won't be too much time out of your schedule, though.”

“Bearmagnet, you're absolutely right if he "did it" for me, I would love to go out with him, but just talking to him on the phone hasn't convinced me.

I went out with a guy one time and then he called me almost everyday..it sort of turned into stalking. Finally I stopped returning his calls because he just would not get the message when I told him I wasn't interested.

Smiley..one date might be okay, but NOT dinner. I will know if the first 5 minutes whether we're compatible (and I am sure we aren't) and then I am stuck there for the entire meal trying to be polite and make small talk.

Hmm...I could always do the old "I have to go to the Ladies room" idea and then just leave! I have some friends who have used this technique but personally I find it rude and insensitive!

Tex”

“Agreeing with Tilt?

DANG, Tex! LOL”

“Tilt!! Who would have thought after all these years on TT I finally agree with you!! Wowza!!

ROFLMBO!!

Tex”

“You're obviously having some sort of spell... LOL

Maybe it's a case of the vapors?

<G>”

“Why would you want to try one date if it's already got you thinking of exit strategies?

Just say no.”

“I think having sex with the guy within the first 5 minutes is the way to go. Takes all the pressure off the whole date. Besides, men don't hear a word women say until they give it up.


















Hard to believe I was a virgin until I was 27, huh?”

“Boy . . .I remember those days . . .lunchtimes away from work . . .illicit meetings . . .


dating certainly did bl . .. .



reminds me . ..I gotta read billy c's memior.”

“Well, on one hand, if you're already thinking exit strategies, then maybe you shouldn't go. But, if you've already said yes, then I think its kind of rude. Coffee, perhaps, but dinner, yeah, I guess not. On the other hand, haven't you heard of people who didn't like the person they married at first? I've heard lots of stories like that.....couldn't stand them at all, then somehow, it all just clicked.

My best friend always told me I should have plenty of dating stories for my own kids....and I've got a few good ones. My favorite is the medical student who told me my headaches are related to my monthly cycle.....he didn't get a second date!!”

“Tex
IMO
Honesty is the best policy.
Tell the dude straight up, your single, but you want to date but for the fact he called so much has made you reconsider not going. Tell him to chill out or tell him you changed your mind due to his extensive calling. At least that way you will be honest and you could possibly be doing him a favor for the next date he gets down the road with another woman..”

“tex --

This is the guy that is going to write to ann landers to say "I'm the nice guy that all women say they are looking for" I am ATTENTIVE(read pyscho here), considerate, always call etc etc etc Why do women always complain about being treated badly by men, but then not go out with one of the nice ones??

“Calling someone every day is part of that individuals personality. He can fight the urge to call but he is possesive to the Creepy degree. 100:1 he'd freak if you glanced at another man in public.”

I resemble that remark!”

“sorry MM . .didn't mean to sound harsh!!! I was in a hurry without time to rame a more diplomatic way of putting it.

:)”

“I will just be straight up with him and try not to hurt his feelings - that's not my intent anyway. He probably is a great guy, just not for me!!

I guess I need to go over to the TT Singles Page and make and entry...LOL

Tex”

“Yeah tex... I have went thru that before. I have heard that woman are the needy ones...makes me wonder.”

“Hilarious Lee, providing MM didn't take offense”

“Tex, my husband called me every night for a few days before our first date. He did not continue to do this afterwards, which was great; it didn't get a chance to get stifling. But I loved talking with him and he is by nature a very quiet reserved person who has not talked that much ever again. If you are bothered by your date calling, either you are not interested in him, or you are not feeling well in general, or maybe you already have known him over a fairly long time and don't need to get to know him better immediately. But if you really don't think that you could be interested in him, cancel the date.”

“dating's not so bad anymore”

“Really, scorch? Yay for you!”
