wow!! perfect example of how a man you have been talking to should approach a woman for a first meeting.... from a different site..<not a dating one>

Hi Debra, so when are we meeting for some coffee? I'm busy for a few days but be fun to joke around over coffee. Nothing serious just saying meeting and chilling.



That's pretty much like me! Sometimes it makes me wonder if I was asking too much or not enough?

And I'm talking about people who live less than 30 min. away from me, so it's not like a huge committment to make and since it's a small town, there is a chance we know people we both know and places we both go etc etc..

so ..I ....don't...know...anymore.

According to Lori, I'm a scary person. Last time I went out at night to a bar, everybody thought I was a cop. ohwell
well then i dont see anything wrong you are doing.. humm people at bars dont seem to like people who dont drink were you drinking?i see that a lot.. who cares if you were a cop? lol i guess that means... they were out to get drunk and drive after so they feared that? more interested in drinking than meeting someone perhaps?

see atlantis what i did was join a local singles group.. its not a dating site.. but where singles actually get out and meet each others in groups in person.... well i havent been able to attend anything yet but at least you are gonna pull in a different type of crowd of people who actually do want to meet other singles..<perhaps if they fear a one on one meeting, any are open to the group things at least you have a chance at the opportunity of meeting others in person> as friends or possibilities...im open minded to all options...


Well I sort of done that before. One woman (not very desirable one) got so emotionally attached to me that I felt like getting a plastic surgery or jump into a cliff, so she would stop stalking me every step. scared

I like first dates where you meet someone somewhere, you both have a car, you're not 'stuck' but somewhere fun...or even in a group for the first meet, amusement parks I think are awesome...fun rides, and you can see if you can hold a conversation while in line. Arcades are fun too. Anywhere where it takes the pressure off







At the playground, ya know
That's where I saw this cutie
This girl was swingin' and she looked so fly
On the monkey bars, we climbed up to the top and
She touched my hand that's when I fell in love

I am (somehow) intimidating??? noway Not my looks at all, I'm just "cute" by So Cal standards ... I don't know why but guys never approach me, maybe it's because I look like I don't care if they do or not. I don't go places looking for attention and I think guys can tell and are intimidated by that?

Many guys are p--sies it's a fact. Others looking for someone they can dominate one way or another and if you come off as someone who might fight back with nails and teeth, they move on.
Also note, that many guys don't have any confidence without their friends or without being drunk.
Usually the bravest are the 1 guy who isn't drunk walking up to you and asking you out to a drink or trying to spark a conversation. They got 10x more balls than guys who bunch into 5-10 and scream from the distance.

How about reptile pet stores and bar/arcades? laugh

That would have to be with a really cool person, who I liked and felt an attraction on more than one level with.

You know its kind of funny, that first date.... I notice that its the same people on here all the time. I've even exchanges e-mails with a few. The strane thing is I've never actually been on a date with anyone online.. Its almost like everyone is afraid to meet for a something even as simple as a coffee. I realize everyone these days has a busy life....A date does not have to be an all day thing.

Actually, I can't even say as I've managed to get a date out. The past couple of guys, who I thought I'd made it understood that we were friends and mostly communicate by text, and that was going to be it, were all hinting, and downright asking for sex. Ummm, no, not happening. I'm not the sort who can go fast and loose like that, and a hookup or FWB doesn't do it for me. The thoughts not evn appealing.

So, in the meantime, I'm backing away from them, even with the ability to just go out for any group gatherings because I know they'll want to do the clingy stuff.

Ever noticed such a thing that some people think too deep into just having one date with someone?

I noticed (not here on mingle, since everyone is at least 3000 miles away from me), that the reason some women won't go out on a date with me because of afraid of attachments. They are thinking too far too deep into the whole thing.

I wouldn't even be surprised, if I (and others) won't get contacted, because some women think, that sending an email is like a confirmation to say "yes" to marry. whoa
laugh laugh and men do that as well...


I don't think so. Will you marry me ? flowerforyou
