Posted: 5/18/2008 6:44:51 PM | I agree too Goddess .I have found that since I have been going to a few of the events that I'm more motivated to get out of the house .
I think that you get a bit disheartened on dating sites .
But going out and socializing you seem not to care as much ,I have met some really awesome people at these events and if I meet someone nice then cool if not I have made some new friends .
A wise lady told me "Better to be single and social than be single and lonely "Well words to that effect anyway . | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 7:31:37 PM | How often do you go on a date ? not these days, as dating just one person atm, before him once or twice a week, when i first got on the net about 4 years ago men majorally outnumbered the girls and i could of lined up 5 a week!
Have you ever been stood up ? twice?
Have you ever stood up someone else ? once accidently, mix up
Have you ever gotten cold feet and bailed out.....diplomaticly ? not cold feet, once or twice just decided really wasn't into the whole thing and did.
How would you best describe the ratio of good vs bad dates ? most are ok, in the sense nice chat, nice meal or drink, or movie or whatever... happy happy fun fun... but that doesn't make them the 'one' for me or them or one or the other lol. so 'good' dates as i described would be roughly 75%
Do you sometimes decline the offer of a prospective date ? yes... too many ppl offer just to go on one... not having much luck? or just wanting a root and ask just about every girl on here... | |

How often do you go on a date ?
If you mean formal date... like spend two hrs preparing for dinner and the latest casino show or theatre type thing... not very often...lol. If you mean set a date to meet with someone for a friendly coffee, a few laughs and a general 'getting to know you better' kind of thing, with new or previously met friends, then I try to do that weekly.
Have you ever been stood up ?
Yes, once. And I had the distinct feeling I was being played, but if I hadn't gone, he would have just kept playing me.
Have you ever stood up someone else ?
I've only ever stood one guy up, and I stood him up twice. I really didn't mean to, and truly felt awful about it at the time, but life just totally 'blocked' both of the meetings. He had been a bit pushy and I took that (the life getting in the way bit) as a sign though, when he again tried to set up a third meeting. My motto is, if it doesn't just happen, its unlikely to 'happen'...lol
Have you ever gotten cold feet and bailed out.....diplomaticly ?
No, when it comes down to it, my word is all I've got, so I do try to honour it. I don't agree to meet people unless I know I actually want to be there and will laugh with them regardless of whether we have a romantic interest or not.
How would you best describe the ratio of good vs bad dates ?
I haven't had any bad ones. I met one guy who turned out to be quite a bit younger than me, and that creeped me out a bit... but I just kept that brief, had a bit of a laugh with him and sent him back into POF in search of girls his own age...lol
Do you sometimes decline the offer of a prospective date ?
Yes. More often its a case of knowing I won't suit them, than them not suiting me though. I accept and get along with most people, but there are things about me that I know are difficult for some people to handle. My work hours, my timelessness, my independence, my male friends... some people just make it clear when I talk to them, they want things (even in friendship) that I can't offer, or they find it difficult accepting things about me that I'm not prepared to surrender or curb. That's cool, I often find some of those people remain great online friends, and we can continue to laugh at our differences without driving each other totally nuts with them...lol
This has been a reflective visit to the forums tonight...lol... very dating focussed! | |
