Topic: Thanksgiving through Valentine's....

Supposedly, there is a thought (or more like a belief) that if you are a single man, you should never date any chick during the Holiday seasons (starting with Thanksgiving) and going all the way through to Valentine's Day. The thought is that a single guy will not have to endure the pressure's of meeting a ton of family, or feeling obligated to buy gifts. I actually laughed when I heard this, but apparently a lot of guys do follow this line of thinking. And, in a way, I can see why.

Now, I am wondering if any guys (or any chicks) here do subscribe to this? Or, if you actually think that this line of thinking makes sense?

What does Goof think? I say, if you meet a chick (during this time period), make sure you tell her that you have all your money tied up in investments. tongue2 :laughing:

Well, due to the fact that there are holidays, birthdays and family parties all year long, I think it's best never to date.

I date when I feel like it. F the rules, F the system, and most of all F fear!

Wow, this was brought to us by the number 8 and the letter F.

How many Fs have you counted so far?

It doesn't matter when you meet someone. You can't predict when that is going to happen and you can always make time for them if you want to. But meeting their family, that's another story. noway And guys are always going to have to shell out cash to date chicks no matter the season. bigsmile

I actually dated a guy when I was younger who had the whole thing reversed-
He gave me a list of things he wanted for Christmas - including sizes, colors and preferred sport teams-and a list of foods he wanted me to get and prepare for him over the holidays....ohwell

I try to get with someone right before my birthday (Aug. 23) so she can get me a nice gift. Since I know the relationship won't last more than 3 months, I have to time it just right, otherwise I could lose out on some great stuff!

When you follow rules like that you are really not open to what is out there...so maybe best you stay off the market until you are open to follow your heart and not some silly rule...pish posh!

I cannot fault this logic.

made my toes curl.

Those of us who know you know better than that!!bigsmile

Would you rather spend the holidays wrapped around the money you saved or a potential wonderful guy or girl? I know my answer.

Why anyone would put certain times that one can meet someone is beyond me. The way I see it is take each day as it comes.... If you happen to meet someone around the Holidays then just go with the flow make plans with your family as always if they seem to indicate they would like to meet the family then so be it but do not pressure them into it.... bigsmile
