SJ.COM All-purpose dating thread

I think that's my first sig quote. Although I was enjoying your HD yule log moment, Cadet, even if it isn't quite Halloween.

And with that, I'm off to bed ... tomorrow's full of work, workout and something about endless shrimp. Er, a date. Yeah, date.

 

Hope the date goes well.

 

We'll need a full report.

 

ducky, want me to be your designated dialer to clear you if you need to escape?

 

Offering some belated advice to Prepper - Be prepared for the girl to be, uh, a little nutty. Do they identify each other as their "best friend"? From my past dating experience, I can't imagine any of my ex-GF's best friends being interested in me after we broke up. Yeah, it's for them to hash out, but you do have to consider the mindset of the girl who knows her best friend just broke up with you, and then feels it's OK to pursue a relationship with you.

That being said, kudos for sticking it out with someone who is 20 when you're 26. I'm 25 and just got out of a couple dates, couple make-outs with a girl who was 21 and still in college. I'm looking more for a long-term relationship, and while I thought she was too, it became clear after a couple dates that she just wanted cuddling and sex and no commitment. I had told her upfront that I don't have sex outside of a relationship, but I don't think she really believed me. The whole thing was kind of weird.

 

Yeah...just pretty much assume that she already cleared it with your ex. I tend to be as overly-insanely cautious as the next guy and even I don't see anything to worry about here.

 

Great. All the girls on the board liken me to Kevin from the Office.

 

Anyway, next date I go on, I'm going to make sure I create a ton of sexual tension. Maybe I'll lick her face during dinner.

Where's the blue font when I need it?

 

I can think of a few ways it could be trouble, but that is all dating. I say go for it, but tread lightly at first, if that makes any sense.

 

I'm sure you and your hand are very happy together.

 

Just stop, sly. You've said enough.
