Yawn. Wake me when he finishes.

[Goodgirlinred]

Note to single guys: Rent "The Wedding Date" and "Shallow Hal." Those two movies will prepare you nicely for the dating scene. ;)

[Goodgirlinred]

I love that response. You and I differ a lot in our opinions, but this was a good one! :)

[Goodgirlinred]

I really think the only people like that in the '60's were from the blue states.

[Goodgirlinred]

Well, I have dated two bad boys since my husband died. However, I did not know that they were bad boys until they showed their true personalities. Excuse me for being naive, but I trust people.

Oh, goody. How old are you and are you interested in dating? (jk)

We should have an ongoing dating thread where we can tell our most recent stories:

If you use current, some of us won't have anything to post!

The line I posted in #193 was Aretha Franklin. Man I love that girls singing!

Feel free to get in line! ;)

I did not know that they were bad boys until they showed their true personalities.

I recently had a similiar experience and I don't trust people but somehow he manged to get to me (Romantic charm, wit, brains & masculine helped him a bit!)

[Goodgirlinred]

ROFLMAO!!!! You can say that again!

[Fierce Allegiance]

The only problem that they don't have is that they don't have to wait to be asked out!! :(

I take issue with that. For guys who have been "off the market" and faithful husbands for 15-20 years, it has to be terribly intimidating to ask for the first date. Also, this IS 2005, and women should not be shy about asking guys out like 1955. How is the guy supposed to know if you are single or otherwise taken?

[Goodgirlinred]

I beg to differ. I am a widow. The first guy I dated after my husband died was just interested in my money. I found that out just in the nick of time.

[Goodgirlinred]

You do that. There has to be SOMEONE OUT THERE WORTH DATING! At least, that is what I tell myself.

[Goodgirlinred]

Well, it isn't so bad for an older chick, too. ;)

[motormouth]

LOL

Very true! :o)

Well, I wanted to date. However, after getting burned not once but twice, I decided my dog and I are just fine together. We go to Arby's drive-thru. He likes a beef sandwich, plain, and I get a Martha's Vineyard Salad. I pay.

[apackof2]

How is the guy supposed to know if you are single or otherwise taken?

Ya know we addressed this on a 1,000+ thread and couldn't agree!

You could turn that around and ask how does a woman know?

Its a matter of personal reference, I like a man that see whats he wants and goes after it.

Also men need to pay more attention to a woman's body lanuage, its defintely a clue to the old question: to approach or not to approach

However I say when in doub, go for it!

[Goodgirlinred]

Get an Electrolux. They last a lifetime. You won't have to worry again.

[Goodgirlinred]

But she did not have anything. I would think that she dumped him.

[motormouth]

Youll want to date again... :o)

Dont misunderstand, dogs are great!! ( I have a very large New Foundland that I love to death)..but at some point I know im gonna have to suck it up and enter the dating ring again!
