January 27, 201114 yr Sometimes, maybe. But tomorrow is another day, and you could be all gung-ho again! True. I guess it all depends on perspective. I just really like this person, and I'm putting all my eggs in one basket. Don't do it! Especially if you're just getting to know one another and have only been dating a short time.
January 27, 201114 yr Here's the thing: I have been dating around, but I haven't found anyone that I have that intellectual connection with, and to me, that is key. He hooked me wiht his witty banter, left wing politics, and Jonathan Hunt glasses.
January 30, 201114 yr Update: Not that you people really care, but the Jonathan Hunt look-alike has apparently disappeared off the face of the planet. It's depressing to say the least. I guess it's time to find another one! :-D

February 8, 201114 yr Well, the guy I really like, the Jonathan Hunt, left leaning, sexy, glasses wearing mofo emailed me today. Don't know what to make of it yet. I think it may be he has nothing better to do, and I'm his second choice. However, I'm choosing to block the "stinkin thinkin" and go with it.
February 8, 201114 yr ^Nope. It's either email, text, or instant message. I miss the days of phone calls!
February 9, 201114 yr I call. In your case I hope so. Your posts tend to be somewhat bombastic. I can see you scaring the crap out of a girl. "Hey, if your princessy @ss is up for it, I know this great biker bar where we can go and pound whisky and throw punches at each other..." Admittedly I'm out of this loop a long time now, but I would think I'd still want to call. There's too many ways an email or a text can be misconstrued for it to be a reliable way of communication...ESPECIALLY when you're trying to win over someone who doesn't already know your quirks and mannerisms.
February 9, 201114 yr Honestly, I don't know what to expect anymore. I've been out of the loop so long, it's difficult for me to navigate these waters. Hence the reason I come here for advice! Oh, and for the men on this board (which there are many), what kind of smell do you like on a woman? Soap, perfume, etc...
February 9, 201114 yr Honestly, I don't know what to expect anymore. I've been out of the loop so long, it's difficult for me to navigate these waters. Hence the reason I come here for advice! Oh, and for the men on this board (which there are many), what kind of smell do you like on a woman? Soap, perfume, etc... My personal scent preferences lean toward fruity. Flowery and/or sweet (like vanilla) make me think of my grandma. Personal preferences aside, be careful wearing "classic" scents. I have seen attractive young women who, after they walk past, give me flashbacks of sitting on my grandma's lap when I was four, because of the scent they were wearing.
February 9, 201114 yr I wear Burberry London, and it seems to go over well, but sometimes I like to switch it up.
February 9, 201114 yr I woman that smells like cookies is never a bad thing! Or, as that commercial points out...keep some bacon in your purse.
February 9, 201114 yr Taking the girl out for Valentines Day, looking for something new. Some people in my office suggested Chop Bistro, anybody here been?
February 9, 201114 yr And as I understand it, email is now passe and for "old people" like me. I guess I'm old then too. What's the new way to hook up then? LOL
February 9, 201114 yr If you're in shape, you can meet some really nice people at the gym. Not muscleheads or obnoxious flirters, I'm talking about decent guys.
February 10, 201114 yr "Oh, and for the men on this board (which there are many), what kind of smell do you like on a woman? Soap, perfume, etc..." Honestly, most straight guys don't care *that much* provided we're not talking 1. bathing in fermented floral-infused formaldehyde (aka grandma fragrance), or 2. going au natural for three weeks (aka no, raw pheromones aren't *always* appealing). As AJ93 said - if *really smelling like something appealing to guys* was socially acceptable, women would douse themselves in "Eau De Greasy Pizza", "Bouquet de Bacon", "Eau de Beer", etc. Sure, there might be some who prefer one to another, but once they start preferring too much, they're muscling in on my turf and we just can't have that. ;-) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 10, 201114 yr I'd say at least four times out of five, when I notice the way a girl smells, it's not in a good way. Either it's too much of something that might otherwise be good, or it's something that wouldn't be good even in small doses. There are exceptions, but my olfactory vocabulary isn't quite up to the task of putting the rare scents I do like into words.
February 10, 201114 yr >In your case I hope so. Your posts tend to be somewhat bombastic. Fair enough, but please don't confuse me with C-Dawg. >I can see you scaring the crap out of a girl. "Hey, if your princessy @ss is up for it, I know this great biker bar where we can go and pound whisky and throw punches at each other..." Actually one of my high school friends is coming back into town this weekend since the ladies are throwing his wife a baby shower. We will be patronizing a sleazy establishment at noon and will show back up to the remnants of said baby shower around 4pm thoroughly intoxicated. I'm going to see if a girl I like wants to come along. As for offensive odors, tonight I talked to a girl with bad breath for the first time in years. Honestly, I cannot remember the last time I was met with dog breath coming from a young lady. She gave me her card but I'm not sure I'm going to call.
February 10, 201114 yr Oh, and here's something I emailed to a girl a few years ago, I think for Valentines 2008:
February 10, 201114 yr Greasy Bacon perfume, wtf? What guy would be turned on by that? That`s gross. I love when a woman`s hair smells like peppermint.. That shampoo that stylists use :P I`m weird though. I don`t think you can go wrong with just smelling like you`re really clean.
February 14, 201114 yr I give up. It's true. I've said this before, but it's finally come to a point where I can't do this anymore. I'm going to become celebate.
February 14, 201114 yr I give up. It's true. I've said this before' date=' but it's finally come to a point where I can't do this anymore. I'm going to become celebate[/quote'] Once you get used to it, it's a lot less stressful than dealing with men. :-D
February 14, 201114 yr I aqree! I just need to get used to the fact that I'm going to be alone! Don't get all worked up over it; you're not that old. Quit trying so hard, and you might improve your chances of meeting Mr. Right. Meanwhile, concentrate on being good company for yourself. After quite a few false starts and ill-starred "relationships," I've concluded that affairs are better; the only pitfall to affairs is that sometimes they try to morph into relationships, and that can ruin them. I've decided that I'm better company than many of the men I've gotten involved with; I may be "boring" by some people's standards, but I'm never bored. I'm reliable, I'm sober and free of addictions, I don't cheat or lie, I'm not physically, mentally, or verbally abusive, I don't wantonly break stuff, I seldom yell, I'm not jealous or possessive or manipulative, I stayed employed in real jobs with good pay and benefits, saved money and invested, and in retirement I still don't spend beyond my income. Problem is, in thirty-odd years of trying I never was able to figure out why I got involved with so many men who failed at most or all of the above. I'm always busy and I enjoy most of what I do.
February 14, 201114 yr "...And this is not to saaay, there never comes a daaay, I'll take my chances and start again. And when I look behiiind, on all my younger tiiimes, I'll have to thank the wrongs, that led me to a loooove so strong. --I'm perfectly lonely. I'm perfectly lonely. I'm perfectly looonely (yeah), 'cus I don't belong to anyone, nobody belooongs to me." :) I love that song. Emmie relax and just try to hang out with friends or hook up with someone on eharmony. Alot of us feel the same way. It's February (the worst weather of the year and the month with the highest suicide rate), it's Valentines day, when all your coworkers and friends like to flaunt how great their relationship is (when most likely it's not since they go back to b!tching about them constantly on the 16th). --P.S. You truely happy people still suck a year later!
February 14, 201114 yr ^I will admit that I'm trying too hard. I'm aware of that situation. I'm trying to be happy on my own, spending time at the library, reading, listening to music, hanging with friends, etc. And honestly, this is the HAPPIEST I've been in 4 years! I just wish I had someone to share it with. Or at least cuddle with one night of the week.
February 16, 201114 yr Ok, so the guy I'm kind of into was quite honest with me the other day, and told me that he's "juggling" several women. Now, I will admit that I'm kind of doing the same thing, juggling several men right now. So I shoudn't be pissed, right? I mean, he's being honest, and that's a good thing. I just want to know why I'm attracted to such "playas"
February 16, 201114 yr Number one critical attribute of a "playa" is a talent for reading people, sensing vulnerability, and knowing what will get people to like/trust/desire him. It's what they have in common with scammers, swindlers, and con artists, and often an individual with that talent will exercise it in more than one of those pursuits.

June 16, 201114 yr Looks as though we haven't talked about dating in a long while, so I though I would resurrect this thread. I love hearing other people's "horror stories" about dating, and sharing my own, so I'm bumping this thread up!
June 16, 201114 yr the online dating scene has allowed everyone to be "juggling" multiple prospects... any given night of the week you walk into a wine bar or neighborhood pub, you're likely to see two people meeting for the first time for some rendezvous arranged via match.com or whatever
June 16, 201114 yr Dating? I haven't been on a date in over 3 years. I've resigned myself to being a life-long bachelor, and have taken up the hobby of home restoration/renovation to fill the void.
June 16, 201114 yr Dating? I haven't been on a date in over 3 years. I've resigned myself to being a life-long bachelor, and have taken up the hobby of home restoration/renovation to fill the void. I felt the same way after my 12 year hiatus from the dating/relationship world. You never know. Over the past year I've become more open to dating a wider range of people, yet there are some deal breakers.

I love hearing other people's "horror stories" about dating, and sharing my own, so I'm bumping this thread up! Hmm ... dating horror stories, dating horror stories ... I've been seeing the same girl for almost a year now. It might even become a very long-term commitment. <Shudder.>
June 16, 201113 yr ^Just curious MTS, what are some of your deal breakers? 1. Boobs 2. Owning a Kohl's charge card 3. Not owning a copy of 'The Devil Wears Prada' .... to name a few

Not owning a Meryl Streep autographed copy of 'The Devil Wears Prada' .... to name a few ROFLMAO!!!!! No. 3 is a must! >:D [*]Man boobs are not sexy [*]What is this "Kohl's" you speak of! [*]See above I will not date a man who smokes or does any type of drugs/Abuses drugs or uses illegal substances, Period! Example, I met this guy as I was running thru UCLA. He asked for my digits and if I was on Facebook (I swear that lines never ceases to amaze me). So we speak on the phone and meet up a few days later for desert by this time I've asked all my foundation/character based "questions". A week later we go to brunch, then go to the Abbey. He introduces me to some of his friends and their boyfriends and "dates", etc. So a few of them disappear. After 20 min. I go outside to see where they went, and they are in the park smoking a blunt. I just walk back to the Abbey, say my goodbyes to the other guys, call my taxi guy and go outside and wait. He comes up to me and asks me where and I going (and/or) why I'm leaving so soon. I respond, "you smoke weed, I dont like, it's a turn off and illegal. I don't ride in cars with people who drink or do drugs as I value my life, peace!" My taxi guy shows up and I bounce!
