Comment preview: TL;DR So then she showed me a picture of her ex-husband and I realized I was being groomed as a "replacement dad." EDIT; Looks like I should give fuller details. I went on a couple of dates with a divorced mother of a little boy. The first date threw up ....

Comment preview: I tried the OKCupid thing for a bit and got so fed up with it I had to stop because I was driving myself crazy thinking about gender privilege. I actually got a couple dates out of it, which I found out later means I should consider it a success compared t ....

Comment preview: I was in the pool (divided into lanes on one side and place for other people to just to chill) and was basically laying on my back after a tough work-out; I had been a pretty good swimmer in my past glory days. I see this gorgeous guy getting into the pool ....

Comment preview: Assuming you're using online dating based on some phrasing above, and if that's the case then that's just how it is. You're not a high priority. They're likely dating other people (as you should be too) and have their schedule of friends and social activit ....

Comment preview: I went on a couple of dates with a guy I met on okc in my small college town (big mistake) - he wasn't a student at my school, but lived nearby and attended classes at the community college. The first date, we met for coffee and he was late...forgivable, h ....

Comment preview: I was the douchebag boyfriend on the last season of MTV's Parental Control. For those not familiar with the show it is how a guy or girl has a SO that their parents don't appreciate and so the parents send their kid on a couple dates with people of their c ....

Comment preview: The problem with a doctor giving you the date of conception is that they assume that all women ovulate on the average day of day 14 of their cycle. For instance, I was trying to get pregnant for almost 3 years when I finally got pregnant with my daughter, ....

Comment preview: 1. A rehearsal dinner is to host your bridal party and sometimes out of town guests after your ceremony rehearsal. Traditionally paid for by the grooms family, though not required (especially since the wedding is "traditionally" paid for by the bride's fam ....

Comment preview: For some people, it's the path of least resistance: just fade it out, don't say anything mean, the dumpee will "get the picture." Of course it is not cool. One could make a case for it in a relationship of a couple dates or no more than a couple weeks. But ....

Comment preview: Flipping it, I'm thinking that if I'd gone on a couple of dates with a woman who then tells me she's technically married but in the process of a divorce.... well, I'd thank her for the lovely time we'd had together and that I wish her all the best and that ....

Comment preview: As a counter to that, I think it's important to have some sort of romantic or physical component to the date. For instance, I went out on a couple of dates with a girl. For the first date, it was just the two of us, and it went great a few drinks, a few la ....

Comment preview: I met a chick online once (yeah yeah) and we went on a couple dates and things were going really well. We got on like a house on fire, totally attracted to each other, had great fun on dates, talking, making out, etc. I prefer to go on several dates with ....

Comment preview: Back when I was younger I didn't have a lot of money so I had to make due with certain things. One example, the driver's seat of my car broke so I had to take the passenger seat and move it over (it was identical). This was fine as long as it was just me ....

Comment preview: A couple on a date, sitting having a meal and chatting, just a normal date. A guy comes in who turns out to be the woman's soon-to-be ex-husband and, at first, justs asks to talk to her. She refuses. He asks louder and she refuses louder. Lather, rinse, re ....

Comment preview: I totally get the point here: Focus on you, take care of yourself. Always a good message. But in the context of one's love life I don't understand why a less perfect or interesting person couldn't be dating--or at least trying. It seems even just a generat ....

Comment preview: It's almost as good as the time I went to see a movie in the theater by myself. I got a really good seat arriving 30 minutes before the movie started and a family of 5 came in just as the movie was starting. There was an empty seat to my left and right a ....

Comment preview: I am a serial monogamist, except for a few months briefly when I was 25. I posted looking for couples, guys, girls. Most of them I just talked to online or Skyped, but didn't feel comfortable going further with them. My first in-person meetup was with an a ....

Comment preview: I have. But will not do this AMA. Here are the issues: * 1) It will be nearly impossible for me to prove without revealing her identity. * 2) I don't feel like kissing and telling. * 3) Regardless of what I write, I will come across like some vapid bragg ....

Comment preview: This'll probably be buried, but oh well. I worked in a restaurant during my college years and there are two instances I will never forget. A married couple came into the restaurant, they seemed like your average married couple - happy but not ooy-gooy like ....

Comment preview: So I met this guy, went on a couple of dates and by the end of date two he was texting me nearly every hour all fucking day. It was always really stupid shit. I politely told him that I can't be texting all day long while I'm working and spending time with ....

Comment preview: > you just altered your focus to what you give a fuck about It really is that simple. Whether it be going out on the weekend to have fun, managing the fragility of the first couple dates with a girl you dig, or a long term relationship, you really hav ....

Comment preview: You talk as though attraction is purely physical. But it's absolutely not. You're looking for someone to date (and maybe, eventually marry), not someone to jerk off to an image to. And even if you date someone who starts off smoking hot, life happens. ....

Comment preview: Valentine's Day was always the second worst day for working at a restaurant. I was surprised to see a younger (early 20's) couple on a date (apparently a first date) come in, since we were a more expensive place that was frequented by a much older crowd. T ....

Comment preview: I had been on a couple dates with this man so it wasn't really a RELATIONSHIP, but it was the most cringeworthy moment I've ever experienced in bed. We'd waited to be intimate because of a few different factors, but this date was different. We both knew i ....

Comment preview: Getting bukakked by 5 guys you just met in a bathroom is slutty. Fucking 25 guys in a month is slutty. Giving a guy a bj after a couple dates because you really like him is NOT slutty. My 2 best relationships in my life (I'm 25) were with girls who I fucke ....
