Reasons Date Give for Standing Someone Up 6/26/2006
The Date shows up early and decides he just doesn't
feel like going out after all, goes home before the date
arrives.
<br>
His cat gets sick and he has to take it to the vet.
<br>
His neighbor's goldfish dies, and he stays home to
console the neighbor.
<br>
He figures that the picture of the date wasn't the real
picture, so he didn't bother coming over.

RE RE : Men are visual 6/20/2006
I'm sorry but i totally have to disagree. I live in the
Massachusetts area and for the past 20 yrs that I have been
dating and in different relationships I have to say that
most of the women in my area don't even have insight
and/or hind sight..let alone anything else.

For the most part 90% of the one's I have met or dated
were either gold diggers or cry babies. Every date ...

Late life searching for a new mate 6/20/2006
Most of us had a single standard and experience set to approach
partner hunting and selection -- the experience we had
as teenagers. That process for most, was casual dating
of we went to school with or socialized with at church
or other organizational functions. Obviously that well
is dry, or you wouldn't be reading this.

Lets reflect on that process a bit first. Most of ...

free samples at the buffet of life 6/20/2006
It seems to me that on reading certain articles, men are
using the first date as an attempt to get "free samples"
at the buffet of life. Just because a woman consents to meet
for coffee or dinner, it doesn't necessarily follow
that she consented to anything more. Men are really missing
the boat by misjudging, and subsequently rejecting, women
who don't want sexual play in the early part ...

Transitions ... 6/20/2006
If moral values were clear and universally accepted life
would be simple, or horribly more complicated for those
that need help the most. Monogamy and relationship jumping
are probably one of the most interesting areas that we have
so many people that stand high with moral certainty, yet
practice has so many grey areas.

Crazy and hopeless 6/20/2006
I think it is crazy to make a fast move, to go live with someone
far away. Risky. You put yourself under the total power
of that person. How well can you get to know each other anyway?
That is the crazy part. Here is the hopeless part: meeting
anyone you have not already passed over where you are.
Furthermore, phooey.Sobriquet

cringe 6/20/2006
I had a first date with a fellow who took me to a restaurant
where he ordered a Reuben sandwhich. It was full of pink,
mayonaissy sauce. He picked up the sandwhich and the pink
stuff ran through his fingers, dripped from his sandwhich.
Some people at another table were observing him. He held
out the sandwhich to them and said "Want some?"
Do I need to say that I was mortified?

I was hounded to attend a wedding reception with a fellow.
He came in, listened to a few speeches and excused himself.
He came back and listened to more and then people started
kissing, can't recall why, he kissed me and left again.
The meal started being served, he left again and came back
wobbly and smelling booze. I ate and left. sobriquet

First Date? Come On Over..... 6/19/2006
I am a firm believer that a first date must be comfortable
as possible for both people. I have not had a first date recently,
but know where we meet must have activity going on which
fosters a possible relationship. One of the big issues
is honesty; is this person as he/she represents online?
My solution is to plan the 'first' date in daylight
hours at my home...a brunch, maybe. Keeping ...

Deciding Whether You Want to Date This Person 6/19/2006
I agree with the other "First Dates" category message to
a point. I too do not want to give my e-mail address, my phone
number, or my actual address (he wanted to send me something)
to any man I don't know, at least a little. I am surprised
at the reaction to my reticense. One fellow scolded stating
"This is no time for timidity." I explained that it was not

True First Date 6/19/2006
Dalnet boulevard on that night was filled with dreary skies
and shadowed ennui. As usual there was the bustling crowd
that rushed from lounge to lounge, chatting, meeting,
and dashing off to the next stop as they followed their usual
trajectory. My steps were slow and unhurried, as I browsed
along the boulevard. I stopped at one lounge to see who was
in, the same crowd, the same rancorous ...

Let's call it a "Lookover" 6/19/2006
In my experience, the first "meeting" is not
a date at all. I call it the "lookover" - the chance
to check out the
physical chemistry between two people who have (theoretically)
established some kind of mental/emotional chemistry
on line or on the phone.

Remember, this is not yet a date!!! - a date is, in this definition,

If I decide on meeting a man I have contacted through the

I once met a fellow online, and we eventually exchanged
emails. There were a few things not ringing true, so I had
some reservations about meeting him in person. I requested
that we exchange a few more emails first.

First date jumping in bed 6/19/2006
Why is it that when you meet for the first time the men always
want to take you to bed right away, isn't it that you
first build a friendship and trust before you take that
next step, why can't men think with their hearts and
mind instead of other things, to be intimate with someone
that spark has to be there, we all have choices but the mens
choice is always jumping into bed i know the men ...

Don't 'Accept; Expect' 6/19/2006
I recently went on a 'first' date with another
SFF member (a week trip to San Felippe, MX).

Here's a list of things that gentlemen shouldn't
do on a first meeting:
<br>
When walking, never push a woman when you want her to go in
a certain direction.
<br>
Never 'expect' a woman to be overly impressed
by who you are when she doesn't even know you yet.

Modesty 6/19/2006
I've always been confused with ladies when it comes
to what they look for in a guy. Most seem to say they prefer
a guy to be confident, yet they seem to loathe a guy who is
overly cocky. How does one find the happy medium between
modesty and confidence? Is it better to err on the side of
modesty?
