No prob Refuse2... will check back with you and see how things are going.
May I offer the Chaz' formula for getting a kick start to dating. I will warn you, it does involve copious amounts of alcohol and some misdemeanors but it will give a "deep end of the pool" experience in terms of getting back into the game.
Step 1: Get really hammered. Step 2: Go hit on some chick who is really hammered. Step 3: Leave the rest to fate.
Ok.... so I am kidding. But seriously. Do not be affraid to get out there and have some fun without being to serious. More often than not, the "Right One" will arrive to you when you are not expecting. This has proven to be the case more often than going out and finding her.
Cycle through some dates. Laugh, dine, have some fun. It will change your perspective and how you come accross to others.
These are merely suggestions. Dont take me too literally. But do relax and enjoy this phase.
I do think I'll enjoy this part of things as I know I'm going to date a bit before I find someone to be serious with. I just don't want to jump into something serious, so I'll keep it light and see how things go.
I like the humor boys. It is good stuff.
Ali, I actually think you ladies have it much, much easier when it comes to dating than we do. You can sit back and reject everything thrown at you and you aren't expected to be the one who pursues the date in the first place. That's the scary part for us and honestly, I'm not too fond of "picking people up" for dates anymore.
Oh, well. It is my reality, so I've got to live in it.
On the XW front, what the crazy giveth, they also taketh away. She sent a text today telling me today was a "no go" and to "have a good conference." Whatever. It would have been great to see and take D out to dinner, but it is what it is, so I'm ok w/ it as it is her time.
So, I'll see D's teacher this afternoon, then go home and prep up some meals for lunch and dinner before watching Game 1 of the World Series and trying to get some real rest tonight.
Actually, I've been 'out there' & its not so easy anymore, the men dont seem to be making the first moves as much anymore. I was forewarned about how 'the women of this dating generation' have made it all too easy for men nowadays.
What ever happened to the good 'ol days when baught us drinks and expecting nothing in return? Now if they do, they leach on thinking their gonna get lucky!
I hear the World Series might be a high scoring one this year.
Do you think the Husky's will get a victory in their remaining games?...
Notre Dame @USC (ouch) ASU UCLA @WSU @Cal
I would say the best chance is in the Apple Bowl since the Beavers and Ducks had their way with the Kittys by a larger margin than they did with the Doggies.
I still think you women hold the cards. We are supposed to make the move and ask you out and you have all the power. In fact, I'm not even sure where to meet people anymore now that I'm almost 38. The bars are never a good place to look and all my friends friends are married.
I've got a profile on-line and I do get looked at, but once I send a simple "hello" e-mail, I usually get nothing back. It is a bit frustrating as they'll read everything I send out, but never respond. I eventually just give up on them, but what happened to common courtesy from these women? I've even had a few start conversations then just drop them cold. WTF?
Again, I'm not sure I'm a big fan of dating let alone internet stuff, but where else do you find people these days? Seriously.
I have had a few dates and the ladies are nice, but I'm very, very picky this time around and I'm going to go for what I want and not settle.
You mentioned "expecting" something for buying a drink or whatever, and honestly, if I think I could like the person, I wouldn't want to just fool around as it would ruin something for later. So, I'm not expecting much except to have a nice time and gauge interest on both sides for a potential 2nd date.
Again, I'm glad you popped by and I hope to hear back from you again. It is sad we're here, but we are so let's party and have a good time at it.
I'd love to see the Rays win it just because they are a great story. However, the Phillies are up 3-1 as I write this, so who knows about game one.
As for my beloved Purple Puppies, I'm not seeing many wins on that schedule. Even as bad as WSU is, I'm predicting a scoreless tie for the 2008 Apple Cup.
