No...all I'll find are a bunch of married twits and hypocritical jackasses. Besides, I'm not looking for a "nice girl"......I'm after one that knows the world isn't "nice" and can still have a good time. | |

Posted: 4/6/2008 10:48:39 AM | >Join a church: Unless you attend a church with 100's of members you're not going to meet anyone at church. There are NO single women at my church and most single men adn women don't attend church regularly. Though some churches sponser singles parties they generally cater to the younger singles.
>I have a friend you should meet: I do appreciate well meaning friends who've set me up on a couple of blind dates but they have never materialized into even a 2nd date.
>Don't worry, you'll meet someone: This is my alltime favorite......or should I say the most annoying. Ever notice the only ones who say this are already married? | |

'there's plenty more pebbles on the beach' (we don't have a pebbled beach, it's mostly dog sh*t and garbage lol)
'Take your time, there's no hurry' or 'Good things come to those who wait' (I've been waiting patiently now for 3 years, YOU try going that long without so much as a kiss....)
'You've got everything to offer and the next one will be worth the wait' (so there WILL be a next one??)
'Stop trying so hard'
'You never find anyone on a night out' /by staying at home
'Join a club' (been there, done that)
'Go to the supermarket on a Friday night'
'Go to the bookstore'/library/coffee shop
I've clocked up so many man hours going out, staying in, buying books, buying groceries, drinking coffee, drinking alcohol, getting educated, taking up new hobbies but i'm STILL SINGLE!!!!  | |

Posted: 4/14/2008 1:16:04 AM | In my view there is nothing on God's green Earth that can make someone look more outright mindless, airheaded and just plain stupid then if they spout off that generic crap about "Stop looking for it and it'll happen" or something similar along those lines.
And the people who give testimonials saying how that ohhhhh they'd just given up, they stopped looking for it at all and were just here for friends or the forums and then WHEEEEEE it just magically happened that their soulmate came along!!! Happy happy joy joy!! Talk about something that just makes you want to puke all over your keyboard, geezus how annoyingly fake. No one wants to ever admit that they're actually looking for someone, it apparently is just so very much cooler to just pretend you're only hanging around here just for the chit chat buddies and the exquisite forum discussions.  | |

2. If he opens the door for you...CONFRONT him. Insensitive jerk thinks you're helpless.
3. Wait 2 days, 4 hours, and 7 seconds before returning his phonecall. If you call him back before then you are totally desperate.
Just kidding:)
This is a great forum and I've enjoyed reading the posts OP! Thank you:) | |

... conveniently overlooking the fact that X weighs 500 kg, is a nicotine addict, is 10 thousand years old, has three heads, or some other disqualifying trait.  | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 7:52:17 PM | Joining groups is a great idea. I have met great guys volunteering. I did not know these guys existed! I just make sure I am out and about a lot. I go to singles' functions, art shows, and just stuff I love to do.
I am all for looking, but looking in the right places. | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 10:48:53 AM | Great thread!! Think I've got a sore neck though from nodding in agreement to everything lol 
I've heard so many of the ones probably already stated, the classic ones that drive me crazy are:
* it will happen when you least expect it/you're not looking
* don't try so hard
* try harder
* join a club
* go out more / don't go out expecting to meet someone
* you're too picky / you're not choosy enough
* it's a numbers game, just meet every single person that emails you
* your photo's don't you justice (then I ask them to pick one and they say none of them do me justice)
* don't judge a book by it's cover
* put yourself out there (umm out where???)
* don't have sex with someone before you've been dating them for at least 6 weeks (from people who had sex with their partners/husbands etc on the first or 2nd date, but of course it was "different for them")
* don't return phone calls too soon / call them back right away
* don't decide if you like someone after just one date followed by "I knew as soon as I saw my partner he was the one for me"
* don't go on a 2nd date if you didn't feel chemistry on the first one
* don't act "too available / too interested"
* make sure you make it obvious you're interested
* if he's into you, he should pay
* you should always offer to pay half
Oh the list goes on and on, it's laughable and yes everyone I know says "oh I met my honey when I wasn't looking" ... it's amazing the selective memories people have.
If you don't keep your sense of humour in all of this, I think you'd lose your mind!! haha

Posted: 6/28/2008 12:26:09 PM | LOL "Chemistry"
The biggest key to me is to make sure my son has a good life and a good woman will see that and want that for herself and her kids too (if she has any). Never listen to others who are married as they've been married for at least 7 years or more so they're thankfully out of touch with the dating scene as it changes every couple of years to maybe 5.
= do what feels best for you so he'll know your smile.
=forget any dating rules because they were made by others who played games and usually divorced. Show your excitement and build upon it.
=chemistry takes as long as you need it too whether first sight or months
=Everybody judges a book by it's cover so casual is best at the beginning then once chemistry is there, go full blown if you want. Remember, the older we get and have kids and homes to take care, the less we give a shyt about it til the connection.
= drop your pickiness by half since the best relationships are 50/50.
=Initiate neutral subjects that are of interest to you at first then integrate personal lives to keep the freshness.
=DON'T e-mail or text him once you've exchanged numbers. I know alot of the younger people do it but it's just that....cheapy!
=Always go on your instincts and give it 100% otherwise you're cheating yourself and most importantly your kids if you have any plus him and his kids if he has any.
=God gave you the precious gifts upon birth that you have taken and made yourself into a beautiful, intelligent, and inspiring woman so now it's your turn to give back to him via giving unto a man who wants to love you and your kids if you have them. Show everything about you and give it all you've got because a MAN will secure and protect the family! | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 12:38:20 PM | "Do as I say, not as I do." Ask me no questions & I'll tell you no lies.
"You'll just know." Huh?
"It will happen when you least expect it." If I'm not expecting it , I may hit you.
There is someone out there for everyone." Sure. Tell me another one.
"Opposites attract." Uh...really...
"Birds of a feather." If I wanted someone just like me, I'd just talk to myself. | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 4:55:11 PM | | "Make him wait for it" Soooo tired of hearing that. It's like the most generic advice going and I still firmly believe it depends on the situation when you choose to have sex but that line being said so often drives me nuts. "Make" someone? WTH is it, payment for something? | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 5:20:15 PM | | How about not so much annoying advice but misguided advice coming from a couple whose relationship is the most dysfunctional relationship I've ever seen. With both of them getting into shouting matches, and knock-down physical fights? Scary thing is, she used to be a couples sex therapist... | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 6:59:39 PM | These are great
" Don't try hard but make sure your out where you can be seen and men know your interested?" I never quite figured that one out but she told me it would work thats how she found her "Mr Right" that she never stops complaining about | |

My favorite is, "you'll just know." What the hell does that mean? The heavens open and God speaks to me. | |
