LOL...then you are cutting out all the guys with good taste...lol

I would have to agree with most everything already said about living alone, I would just add to the list that when I set something down somewhere I know it will stay there until I come back to it! I have a bad enough time trying to remember what I did with things without other people moving them on me...lol

We all judge, but judging is not just a bad thing. You can judge people that are good also, you see the people working at homeless shelters or the people who go overseas to help the victims of a natural disaster...you judge them as good people. It is what you do with your judgments that is good or bad. I would hope to not condemn a person just from a bad mistake, but on the other hand I would not want to turn a blind eye to someone I judged as good and they might have a bad side.

...is a guy...lol

Opinionated people are better than someone who just blindly agrees with you. Personally I would like to find someone who can handle a stimulating conversation, play a little devil's advocate just to get things stirred up. But there is a difference between arguing and a difference of opinion, as long as you are not crossing the line into arguing then it is all good I would think.

She did not allow alcohol around the house, and I got a lecture from her when she found out I was underage drinking at a party (not at her house but since I was a friend of her son's she wanted me to stay sober as well). Since she was a nurse she had plenty of pictures of the bad diseases from drinking and STD's. Also this is from a poor community back in the early 90's, ever heard the saying "It takes a village to raise a child"? You may not agree with her methods today but they helped me out then... Not everyone is the same, that is all I am saying.

If I understand your question, I think of dating like sticking your toe in the water to feel the temperature before diving in (to the actual relationship).

Someone specific or will anyone do?...lol. Jump in on some of these conversations or start your own. Good Luck

How many options are there? Carmel or butter is the only ones I have tried but I do not eat much popcorn...

A friend of mine's mom had a bowl of condoms sitting by the door for who ever wanted them. She had an older daughter and a son my age, she did not care who used them she just did not want anyone to have a teen pregnancy like she did. Every one can preach about not having sex but the truth is if they want to do it then they are going to do it, might as well try to make it a little safer for them but it is still not a substitution to talking to them, or at least her...

Unemployment rates are going down because people are coming off of unemployment, not that they have found jobs. The way that they figure the unemployment rates is messed up because they do not count people who are not on government assistance while unemployed, so the homeless or the people who are "between jobs" and are just waiting it out are not counted. People who went back to college or the house wife/husband who stay at home to take care of the kids are not counted even if they are looking for a job...
