That may be his issue too with why he wishes I was shorter than he was, although I don't know because I haven't asked.

I suppose banned is to stronger word, although they ask that you go outside to make or receive call so as the rest of the customers dont have to listen to your conversation especially when meals are being served.

Any thoughts?

I didn't reply to his email... but then the dude sent me another:

"I see you read my e-mail so what about it? "

"You know the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results right? "

Mature & Actual Repsonse = "I consider it bad manners to ask for Messenger Id so quickly in a first contact"

More bad manners...What did I do wrong to deserve a comment like this?

Don't you see there are so many men who hold a guitar on the dating site? You can find many...

I am more concerned about dishonesty. I really dont' care if he is a paralegal.

The phone was created to speak on. If you need to actually exchange anything other then a short message I would vote to actually CALL HER.

I asked him. he said no, he doesn't want to get attached to me and he thinks that i was asking him out on a date.

I told his sister in law (who is my best friend) what happened and she's like he's been wanting to go to that concert for months but couldn't get tickets.

I guess she b!tched him out for being an ash-hole about it. She knows that it was just a friendly gesture. the concert is local so it's not like we'll be getting a room. It's also an no booze show.

Anyways he gets his brother to tell me that he will go to the concerrt with me.

I replied "well what makes him think i didn't invite someone else?"

Yes I'm not saying the two are mutually exclusive. I'm just wondering why sense of humour is something almost every woman asks for, while I see qualities like intelligence, compassion, come up as desirable qualities far less.

Gov Plawenty isnt going to run next term because he covered up a crime in Marshall Minnesota so hes getting out before the heat gets on him.

Someone once put it like this: Only one person can drive the car at a time; if both try to drive, you end up in a wreck. If you have a good driver, you can relax and not worry about it.

I will sit down and talk to my kid. Like most people, I am not really all that comfortable talking to here about race.

...Yet is seems that when a woman is honest and open, they run like Hell.

only place in the house with a huge mirror.....

What I was wearing was a tank top running shoes and an old pair of black bicycle shorts. These were basically what people used to wear to go bike riding and often out in public.

I've noticed that, generally, women speak better than men. They get their ideas across nicer and some of them can speak VERY fast without uhs, or ums, to mar their train of thought.

I replied, "too bad your bungee cord didn't break"

Could there be a pull down menu with days added so we can specify what day we are looking for a date.

If you look at this list - without knowing it's about a single parent, this could be obstacles about relationships with people in general.

So, please, enlighten us now. As a singled mother with children who feels a man who is willing to date you should be compensated how DO you compensate him?

I will always choose quality!

Bingo! This is what I was concerned about. .... I mean, I've come across guys where they insisted on picking up the tab -- which of course I totally appreciate -- but at the same time I don't want to give the impression that I am just looking for a free meal either.

I should have never used the word compensate. That was an inflammatory word.

What charming actions are you willing to take to lure a man into your arms ? Please keep in mind that mating is a competitive market and everyone needs to work hard at finding and keeping a mate. Single women with children do require extra work by their mates and may need to be very charming to compete in the mating market.

CMonster,

They are not in love with a man. They do not have a life partner.

Are you going to suggest loving a child takes the place in being in love with a partner ?

Is anyone here going to refute the idea that being in love with a partner is the best thing in the world ? It is.

You are not as happy alone as you could be with a man. Being by yourself is not as good as being in love.

Of course, but with married couples it is presumably both of their children, and a sacrifice that both the man and the woman need to make for their kids. The point is when a presumably childless guy is dating a single mom, he is making sacrifices, as opposed to when he dates a similar but childless woman, for kids that aren't his.
