Dating

Dragged this old thread up again huh? I think the engagement party is April 19th right?

Old threads are made to be dragged up. You're the one who started the thread in the first place, my chocolate-loving friend!

I was thinking about an event that didn't involve wigs, OMBs, or inflatable friends...

If the position isn't already filled, can I be the flower girl??

BB's little niece beat you to it and you're way the heck too old! But we'll get you some flowers and you can be a bridesmaid. All wenches and junior wenches shall participate, I'm sure...

Sleep deprivation.

That's even better!!!! As long as I can drop a flower or two on the way to the ceremony, I won't feel like I've missed out.

You're the one who wanted to keep it classy!

What's unclassy about OMB's, blow up dolls, and gnomes?

If Hop is finished building his bathroom and is available to mix my drinks, I'm sure that y'all's idea of an engagement party will seem perfectly swanky to me...

I have an extra "yard of margarita" glass. ;-)

Someone please save me from ever having another blind date! Just let me meet some nice guy at a kickball game or let me just forever stay home watching "Pride and Prejudice."

Whoever came up with the modern concept of dating should be shot through the eye. My friend's husband recently observed that it's a complete snow-job anyway--two people trying like used car salesmen to impress the other to the point that at the end of the event neither one of them knows the least bit of truth about the other...both end up feeling ripped off in the end.

OUCH, NoHall!! :shock: Sounds like you had a rough night!

Which "Pride and Prejudice"?? My favorite by far is the BBC miniseries with Colin Firth...

Blind dates can be painful but sometimes they do work out. I met my guy on a blind date & we've been together 8 years. Don't give up - your special someone is out there somewhere!

NoHall, I married the last blind date I went on. It did not work out.

The BBC is the only one as far as I'm concerned...

I've been on 3 in the last 2 months, which is more than I've ever been on in my life. All 3 were really nice guys, but this last one was talking about MARRIAGE. (At Starbucks, for Crissakes!) Really sweet guy and all that, but jeez...

I still like the idea of the arranged marriage without the dating. Honestly, after yesterday I think I'm going to be much more content as a single person.

Single is the way to go, IMHO. Blind dates (or just dates in general) are the pits. I've been set up enough times to be very very cautious when a friend says, "Oh, I have this friend I want to set you up with." Never good.

Dating sucks like AOL.

If I were married, would I have the liberty to sit on my couch watching Pride & Prejudice to my heart's content while SoWalling? I think I've probably got the best sort of life!

I was going to PM you when I got home from my hellacious date and ask how your blind date went - obviously not well either!

My current philosophy is that it's like the lotto - play long enough and you'll win something, even if it's not the grand prize!

On another note - am I the only person who thinks a first date conversation should be more about general info and casual conversation, not their issues from past relationships, views on TMI subjects like vasectomies, and tales of Egyptian Montezuma's revenge (when I'm eating curry BTW!) ?

To answer your question....No.

Good men are like lost objects.
They can't be found when you're looking for them.
Stop looking. He'll turn up.

Find a guy who likes sports and you now have many hours of free time to do these activities (as long as you have more than 1 TV).

You are NOT alone on that! Bleh!

Who's looking? All my married friends just keep wanting to set me up, and most of them admit it's because misery loves company--they think I'm going to waste with all the funn I have by myself!
