I'm shy and akward and nervous and don't know what to talk about.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I swear we're twins, apples.

Except I'm also twins with brownsugar. So maybe we can all be triplets.

ok...but if you're with a date with whom you feel comfortable with from the get go....would you still be shy/akward...nervous?...it seems like a obvious answer, and believe me, I never felt relaxed on a date...

PurpleRein said:

I've never been on a date where I've been completely comfortable. Sad, but true. All the boyfriends I've had, we didn't really do the 'dating' thing and the dates I've had have all been difficult.

CarrieMpls said:

ok..maybe dating is too technical a word. Dating can be just going to see a movie and drinks after...that's not difficult is it?

Don't worry. That won't happen to you.

Oh, and I don't date. I'm really shy and really busy, and...yeah.

it's been 19 years since I've been out on a date. That's how long I've been with my wife.
I used to love/hate blind dates. There was a thrill and excitement to see if the person who answered the door lived up to the descriptions given me before hand.
The first date had alot of pressure. Put the best foot forward, use best manners,
be charming, witty, entertaining, chivalrous, etc....yes, I should have just been myself, but I didn't learn that till later
There was also a thrill at the end of the night if things went well, of whether or night there would be a goodnight kiss, or be invited in for coffee.
Then it was a question of how long to wait before calling for a second date. Tuesday was my protocal for a Saturday date. Don't forget we're talking 19 years ago. There were rules.
I always paid for the date.
Some dates were lots of fun, some dates were torture..no conversation..no chemistry...etc.
I'd go through periods of lots of dates with different people..then a few months of no dates at all.
First dates were usually going for drinks, or drinks and dinner. I'd let them choose the restaurant.
second dates I'd try to go to a comedy club, or movies...and dancing. (i think Im a good dancer btw)
After a third date, I'd ask for a work number if I didn't have it, and I'd give a call at work just to say hi.

so anyway...how do you feel about dating?

I don't do blind dates.

I'm very very bad at it.




very very bad.





aweful.

Me neither, in fact, I despise them. It seems like people just try to fix you up with whoever they can find, just because you are both single. They don't seem to put any thought or planning into it, or try to really find out what you're looking for in a mate. They just set you up on a "hot date" and hope that it works out (and usually, it doesn't). Every blind date that I've ever been on has been nothing short of a disaster. I will never go out on another one ever again, it's just not worth it to me.

I always put out.

Would anyone expect something more from a "hot beach volleyball player"?

Novabreaker said:

true- he was not a pro or anything.. He did seem down to earth for a while.. until we married anyways..

shanti0608 said:

Okay, sorry. I didn't mean it in a too derogatory fashion.

Altough sometimes I feel personally like that if you are going to ask a woman out you're somewhat supposed to be an athlete / basic kind of guy with a decent job and a car, no personality whatsoever. Well, some personality is always preferred, but not too much. Otherwise you're almost cheating the woman into something. Seems like women want the stereotypical male even to date with, I don't know why. Maybe it's because they'll feel "safer" associated with such a person, even if they were fully aware of the fact that the very same person would turn out to be a quite boring companion in the long ru ...

Oh God, fuck. I just realized I am totally in love with someone.
