SERIOUS AND FRIGHTENING WARNING ABOUT SOME PERSONALS SITES Posted: 5/16/2008 2:01:31 PM
As a side comment to the fact that your picture can be used for anything the company wants, I'd like to point out that a) this is the internet. If you don't want to risk having your pictures used and stolen, legally or not, don't post them. There are hundreds of thousands of websites that plagarize and steal and god knows what any photo they come across on the web. b) I'd also like to point out that your pictures are most likely of poor quality, they are relatively small in size (as many personals sites limit picture size to save space), and they are probably of internet quality resolution, meaning they are 72 DPI while printing resolution is 300 DPI. So don't worry about your face being posted on a George Bush billboard, kids. :)

A girl, a plane ticket, and a coward. Posted: 5/13/2008 2:43:39 PM
You mentioned the term open relationship, what exactly did that mean between the two of you. We were together, but we were able to date other people so long as it was casual. We decided on it because we were so far away from eachother.

Is this a typical response to this situation? Posted: 5/13/2008 2:37:04 PM
This woman seriously over-reacted. I have a lot of experience with schizophrenics, and this is the kind of reaction that happens sometimes.

She is a complete mindf*uck Posted: 5/13/2008 2:29:50 PM
She doesn't deserve you. I know logically it makes sense and emotionally it doesn't, but time helps.

I wish it was. It's a ticket to Omaha, Nebraska. So not really. It's also non-refundable, which is terrible. He used to be the sweetest boy, or he was. He keeps apologizing and saying that he "didn't mean to." I feel bad even when it's logically not my fault.

Girls giving it Mobile Numbers when they aren't interested Posted: 5/13/2008 2:21:14 PM
I'll give my mobile number to people not really if I'm not interested, but definitely if I'm safety conscious, which I am. House phone numbers also have that nasty habit of having your roomate pick up the phone.

Why do some girls have to be so rude? Posted: 5/13/2008 2:19:37 PM
That sounds like pretty much a mystery to me, unless she thought you'd been checking her out. Or perhaps because you didn't check her out?

A girl, a plane ticket, and a coward. Posted: 5/13/2008 2:15:05 PM
So, here's the story. I guess I'm just looking for points of view outside my own. I met my boyfriend last September though a friend, and we got along amazingly. Everything was great. Long distance, but we'd both done it before, and we thought it was worth it. I went to visit him last December and had the time of my life. After I come home, everything is fine. Things are normal. During the last few months we drifted, but not to the point of really breaking up. Just an open relationship where we both knew we still cared for one another. A week ago, he met this girl. They go out, and suddenly this girl calls him her boyfriend, and he just goes along with it. I didn't know any of this. Four days ago, I bought my plane ticket to go see him. 330 dollars doesn't seem like much I guess, but I'm a student. Anyways. I asked him if he wanted me not to come, etc. and planned it all with him, so that we both knew what was going on, and so he let me believe nothing had changed. I found out on facebook through a friend's comment on his page, and so I politely confronted him about it. He acted like he had pretty much been caught and told me about her, etc. He "didn't know how to tell me." ...So he didn't. He said he "wants me to still visit as a friend." For 17 days? I think it'd just be a world of hurt. I'm out 330 dollars, I'm heartbroken, and I have a coward of an ex boyfriend. I just need someone's thoughts that aren't my own, I guess.

Should I reply to EVERY message I get? Posted: 5/11/2008 2:03:31 PM
I'm not sure what proper POF etiquette is. Personally I'll at least reply to whether I'm interested or not, if someone takes the time to write something intelligent that isn't "sup baby" or anything lame like that. I get what you mean about that. I get messages from men twice, even three times my age sometimes and it scares me. Hell no.

Firearms and Dating Posted: 4/22/2008 6:31:22 PM
Personally, I'm not a fan of firearms. Way back when, my boyfriend was a firearm enthusiast, but not the carrying type. I don't really have a problem with guys who like them, I'd just rather it away from me. When I would visit him, he would disassemble his gun and put it away for me. I guess the same rule is for smoking. I don't mind if you smoke, just don't blow smoke in my face :)

date shows up wearing sweats... Posted: 4/17/2008 3:18:04 PM
Hey...No ripping on guys that wear casual shoes with nice clothes. I love wearing classic Chuck Taylor All-Stars with suits. It's a great, creative look Right on! I agree with you, it's fun and alternative. I showed up to my graduation formal with a formal gown and clean, black Chucks. :D

Parental Nudity Posted: 3/16/2008 6:03:30 PM
Well, the idea of nudity in my family (my parents are both immigrants) is kind of a half and half thing. It seems like it was fine to see my mom nude, but not my dad. I think maybe it has something to do with the maternal figure, or a same sex idea. Seeing someone of the opposite sex naked seems like a big "no-no" in my family.

Appropriate to be picked up on a motorcycle for the 1st date? Posted: 3/11/2008 9:59:27 PM
Honestly, just go with it. If he wants to pick you up on his bike, most likely he wants to show it to you, because he likes you. It's actually kind of cool. If you're really not down with it, just tell him that you're afraid of riding on motorcycles, and it's be really nice if you could make more comfortable arrangements. (FYI, riding with a guy on a motorcycle isn't as scary as you think it is- I've done it. I thought it'd be really unstable or uncomfortable but it's actually pretty fun. Try it, and you'll see :P)

Ditched during the date Posted: 3/9/2008 10:03:19 AM
Sorry, mate. My sympathies to you, because you really didn't do anything wrong. It's happened to me before, I'll be really attracted to someone until I meet them, and something just feels off. Or vice versa. Once the awkwardness is there, it's hard to stop. From my experience, the Starbucks/coffee date is one of the most awkward of all. I mean, you know you already like eachother, and you know you both can already converse, so why not go do something a bit more active? Mini golf or some cute activity is never under-rated. Find a place or thing that you both want to do, whether the other person was there or not. It's easier to have fun when you're doing things with your date, instead of just being with your date. Then you can really see how she (or she can see how you) might fit into her life and make normal experiences a bit better. I don't really expect fine dining at all. Hell, I get shy if someone wants to pay for me. Especially on a first date, a sweet gesture wins over a romantic one. Yesterday I had a date where we went to breakfast for smiley pancakes (yay!) and then to the Ontario Science Centre (big, nerdy interactive science museum.). We thought it'd end there but then we decided on dinner and a movie, too. So it turned into a reallly reallllllly long 12 hour date, and you know what? We didn't get bored once. Conversation happens along the way. Don't force it. :)

are beautiful women are bad kissers ? Posted: 2/20/2008 5:02:21 AM
beautiful guys can be bad kissers, yeah, but so can just about anyone. If I've learned anything so far, it's really that being a "amazing kisser" is pretty easy, if you use common sense. As in, don't lick someone's tonsils, kiss his lips instead of swallowing his face, etc. It's really not that hard. Now, I never got a look from any man until I was maybe seventeen, and I've always concentrated on being intelligent first, before aesthetics. Perhaps it's not an excess of looks, but a lack of intelligence. :P

Checking Your Cellphone on the Date Posted: 2/16/2008 2:32:17 PM
Yes, I understand the idea of someone being attached to their cell phone during a date is annoying, and, often, rude. I agree with others about children, work, etc. However, you've got to face it. A cell phone is often used as a tool to avoid social awkwardness. If she's paying more attention to the phone than you, perhaps things aren't going the way she wanted them to. It's not the best, but it's human nature, so better luck next time. If a woman is sincerely interested, you'll be her main focus. Done and done.
