If I went in for a kiss and she backed-off, I would read this as a lack of interest and move on. Doesn't mean you have to taste each other's tonsils, but if he tries to kiss her and she refuses it either looks: (a) like she's not interested or (b) like she's prudish. | |

If I like a person I would accept a kiss. I refused a kiss from this guy because I didnt like him. I guess he took it as a challenge cuz he wouldnt stop calling "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood...NOBODY!"

This suggestion is for the fellas:
Whenever you go on first movie date, its best that you don't off and then grab the box of popcorn. [Edited 10/14/04 21:41pm] | |

The one thing you have to always remember is that your date
is not all about pleasing and making the right impression on the guy/girl. Firstly you have to admit to yourself that you are quite an ok catch and that you're worth every ounce of attention. Don't go to your date attention-hungry and seeking for his or her approval for anything that happens on the date or not. After you've ensured yourself of your worth, all the other things kick in, like no farting, no nonstop talking and no spitting food etc etc etc and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Don't know whether it has been said already, haven't read the whole thread.....but here's my advice:
don't talk too much about yourself! My ex-girlfriend did this all the time and, unfortunately, this is what broke us up! Too bad, still think of her..... | |

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Unfortunately our meeting has been put on hold. He left me a message last night but wants to try for next weekend. I'm fine with that. At least I found out the night before and not today right after work. So when it happens, I'll let y'all know.
If we end up having dinner, I will make sure not to eat salad or broccoli. I always end up having a piece of greenery on my teeth. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

Besides from the farting thing, if it was meant to work out, it will, if it wasn't, it won't.
Btw, i'm always charmed when a woman gets totally sloshed on a first date. Unless she throws up in my care. Or wants more than a short-tirm fling. Just so ya know :d Good luck! "It's better 2 B hated 4 what U R than 2 B loved 4 what U R not."

funkyslsistah said: Is anybody ever bothered by silence? After about 10-15 mins of going back and forth on various topics, I think it's good to take a moment to build up the discussion, and not talk just to prove that you can. Some talkative people like to go on and on and on with stories and whatnot to the point that I get drained from listening and I just need a moment to take it all in. Sometimes the silence leads to a misinterpretation of interest.
I'm sorry... I must've drifted off, somewhere around: "Some talkative people like to go on and on and on..." j/k Hope you had a great time. | |
