Hey Kurt, how about a dating area for the website. I've noticed there seem to be a lot of singles on here, mainly wanting to date doctors and art collectors. At any rate how about a place for them to meet?

This is my thread, and I'm shocked that it seems to have gotten more action that the posters in it.

And you're married.
So what do you think of my new development? He still calls me "ma'am," which is kinda sexy...
Okay. Kidding. But it did occur to me as I watched my boss walk all the way around the car to open the door for his wife that I'm getting really, really spoiled at school. Next time I go to dinner with a man I wonder if I will be disappointed if he doesn't stand up when I am standing.

The saga of life at a military school continues...
Only a few weeks ago I was creeped out by an adult(ish) co-worker with a crush on me. Part of the ickiness was that I am honestly insecure enough that I don't understand men who have crushes on me.
Tonight I got a message on Facebook from a wonderful student who told me he "respectfully" has a crush on me. He was our cadet commander, and I told him that out of the few times I've been paid that compliment he was the highest-ranking and possibly most mature. (I did remind him that I graduated from high school 6 months before he was born.)
Too bad about the age thing, because he's a winner...
What a very nice compliment, and a very kind and confidence-building (for the young man) response by you! You're a sweetie...

Worse things in life than being so "spoiled" you expect a man to have good manners and be polite!
I don't take it to the extreme of a college roommate from Texas who couldn't open a door or lift something if there was a man within 50', but sure do enjoy a man w/ manners!

I once worked at a camp as the head of landscaping, and one of my counterparts in the maintenance department would drop everything he was doing to carry stuff for me. I had to sit him down and tell him that I didn't want to thwart his wonderful manners, but that both of us had job responsibilities that we had to perform. As a compromise I allowed him to open every door we saw if it didn't pull him away from his work, and he could even get my chair for me at meals.
Chivalry is not dead, I suppose. It's just confused.

It built my confidence, too...
I made him promise to be my friend for the rest of my life.

Just on life support for years. The legal battles continue between the families of Chivalry and Polite regarding Chivalry's last wishes.

Meanwhile, both chivalry and polite would wish you to pull your pants up. :roll:

Gull....you better be getting on it! It's not but a couple of weeks away!I have a backup plan...and who was it who said, "We can just wear our hair in ponytails all weekend?" NOT. Gotta make sure ff doesn't know I have some gray hairs already. (I don't want him to think that growing old together will happen sooner than later.)
Gonna make the mani/pedi appointment, too.

Nohall, I'm not actually dyeing my hair - it was a commentary on my mental capacity! :rofl:

It's all good, but when I DO feel the need for a hair color change, I become a redhead!
Since when are we not allowed to wear ponytails to control hair on windy/beach days?
I never get these memos, the picky people should be happy if the baseball cap I've got it crammed under to keep it out of my face is its original color/shape. :roll:hmmmm......can't remember

I didn't get that memo, either? WTF?
I have been know to come up with some pretty amazing (and you may interpret "amazing" however you like) ways to keep my long, thick, self-motivated hair firmly out of my face. Pirate-like braids (not cornrows--just little braids) are still my favorite for sheer tangle-free functionality, but I think I might be too old for that now.
Ponytail and visor (or big hat) for me...

IMO if I'm at the beach and what they're noticing is my functional hairdo, I've got much bigger problems than ponytail vs. braids! :roll:

Y'all have absolutely cracked me up. 
Back in my dating days, I must say I was lucky. Since most of them (which, there really were not that many) are from Walton County and were friends of other friends, I was pretty much able to "screen" guys before going out with them. And, I'm proud to say that all but one "grew up" to be genuinely superb men, who I get along with to this day, 20-something years later.
Of course, since they are all from here, ShallowsFuzz knows every one of them. That makes for some interesting situations. :funn:
If I had to go back to dating, without the creep-alert system I had back then, I don't think I could do it. I would just stay home.
