Reasons Date Give for Standing Someone Up 10/28/2005
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.

chemistry 7/24/2005
More often than not, the word "chemistry" is
mentioned in talks about first dates and getting to know
someone.
If it's evident that there is little in common between
two individuals except the electricity that both feels
when they so much as touch, could that be taken as 'chemistry'?

If it were you, would you continue dating this person?

Modesty 6/14/2005
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?

We meet new people every day. Some we can take an instant

Should we have first dates? 5/27/2005
Should we have first dates or should it be a meeting instead?
<br>
Perhaps a meeting to walk on the beach or share a coffee,
a way to talk and see if we have any reason to see each other
again. In the city it might be easier to find something low
key enough to talk, but in a small town one is limited in activities.

Where do you go on a first date? 5/9/2005
Make sure your first date is fun. Go bowling, go to a local
fair (carnival) or go shoot some pool. Whatever it is, make
it fun and you be fun too. Don't get too serious on the
first date. Let him see the fun side of you and make it a sober
one. Make sure of one thing though. Meet him there. As a precaution,
I don't allow my men to pick me up at home. Meet him wherever
you go for ...

Let's call it a "Lookover" 4/24/2005
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.

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

True First Date 12/25/2004
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 ...

First Date? Come On Over..... 12/23/2004
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

Don't 'Accept; Expect' 12/21/2004
I recently went on a 'first' date with another
SFF member (a week trip to San Felippe, MX).
<br>
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.

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.

Coming on Wrong Way? 10/1/2004
When viewing so many profiles. Many people talk about their
sexual desires. Unless a person is looking only for an activity
partener, I think that info should be kept private for the
right person at the right time. To me if looking for a serious
relationship that would turn me away. Or is it possible

maybe give your date some flowers, Go to an elegant restaurant,
have a wonderful "expensive" dinner to impress, minding
your manners all the way, even down to standing when she
leaves the table. Now you've set a standard of expectations.

free samples at the buffet of life 8/19/2004
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 ...
