I went on a blind date once who looked exactly like Napoleon Dynamite. God I wish I were kidding here. | |

I am good at being comfortable with someone (who is not an ass), making conversation, and being my own sweet self... Yet it has been ages since I have been on a real date. I don't have the time to make time for anyone right now. Maybe this summer will be different... [Edited 5/20/06 15:34pm] Shake....shake, shake, shake. | |

I am sick of it now, used to love it. It gets tiring after a while. Meet, go out, get let down...or Meet, go out, date, find out the person just put on a show for you the first few weeks and is nothing like what they say.
Three year break for me! 'A pillow covered in all our tears' | |

I think I only really ever went on one or 2 "dates" and even then, that's a loose definition. My husband asked me out, he said to meet him at a bar on a Tuesday night to see his friend's band's CD launch with him. No dinner or movie or anything. We saw the band, had a few drinks and that was all. He stayed over at my house that night, but no hanky-panky. | |

I first hung out with my now wife just as friends. Went back to the UK and kept in contact. We just spent more and more time chatting, e-mailing and talking on the phone. I came back and it was all a bit funny for the first half hour as we didn't really know how to be around each other, never having been at all intimate in person and yet already in love in a way. First time I put my arm around her waist that was it. We were together and that was that, so we never had a date. We stayed together like husband and wife from the start, and things aren't so different now to how they were straight away after that first moment. Funny. | |

i'd love to hear some more from people outside the US about dating - what i'm hearing from some like Charlotte and Fauxie reminds me a lot of my years back home in Germany. dating was not nearly as formal as it is here in the States, but more a matter of agreeing to hang out together. i think that took a lot of pressure off of everybody. then again, i haven't been on a date in the States in years...

grammar nazi edit [Edited 5/20/06 19:51pm] Well I think people do date formally here in Thailand, but that's just not how it happened for me. I went from some kind of relationship that was not defined, to my first kiss, my first time making love, to pretty much living with someone, in 3 days. | |

I was actually a good boy in that while Mon wanted to pretty much jump my bones as soon as we'd had that first intimate 'moment' I described above, I thought it best to wait a while, like 2 days or so before making love the first time and then asking her to spend her life with me. | |

grammar nazi edit [Edited 5/20/06 19:51pm] Yes, I think it is way less formal here in Australia than it appears to be in the US. It's usually more like --> "There's a band playing over at the Max Friday night, do you want to catch up?". That sort of thing.

Well- given your circumstances and how long you were in contact with her before you met in person... I think 10 mins is pretty good! (Can't say as I blame the girl...) | |

PurpleRein said: 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 know it's different, but I try do make it still feel as a date when I go somewhere with my Mr Alf of Melmak Maybe having kids makes that easier, we have make all kinds of special arangements before we can actualy go somewhere. I like it more now than I did before. I it so much more relaxed and only for enjoyment. I still flirt, so that didn't change | |

First kiss and then boobage and whatnot shortly after? Worth the wait. Those Thai condoms. I was just a young pup. I'll be honest, it wasn't the best performance, but I stayed up all night just watching her and in the morning we kissed over and over for an hour. I'd never kissed anyone before the night before that, so I was making up for lost time. Still together now and going strong. p.s. We'd already met, but were just friends. ...

I don't like dating. I don't like feeling like I'm judging somebody, and being judged by them, for this really specific purpose (ie. romantic compatibility), over the course of just a meeting or two.
People are worth more than that. I'd rather that it happen organically, somewhere out there stirred in with my real life. I have no intention of ever "dating" again. That said, I met my current boyfriend on a real date date. So, I guess I shouldn't complain. He's a doll. Except that, REALLY, we got to know each other through tons of email, both before and after that first date. If we hadn't, I don't know that we would have figured out that we liked each other. oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |
