So, I've learned a ton on this board, and put a lot of it to good use. I go on a ton of 1st dates. A lot of that traffic is from match.com. I'd say I go on about 15 'first dates' a month, and I do the basics very well. I'm frustrated with the number of women I end up seeing again after...

Two of the women I just started seeing have a few things in common: early 30's, no kids, attractive, and they are divorced. The 'divorced' element is new for me. I find that they are a bit jaded, and are a bit more blase about things than the women I normally date, who are single and have...

One of the things I'm really enjoying about this recession is the sobering effect it's having on people's understanding of reality. I dated an enormous amount in 2008. And one of the things that I found most annoying, usually on a first date, is some absurd business that some women had...

Over the last few months, I've been having success with women that, historically, would have been slightly out of reach for me. I think this recession is having something to do with it. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? That the current economic climate is having a favorable effect...

I've realized something important very recently about my dating habits. I used to think after a date about how she reacted. I would consider if we made out, how long she stayed, how she responded to my touch, etc. Now I'm realizing that the single most important thing to consider is not...

My backstory is that I'm a 35-year old single guy, caucasion male. 6ft 1in, in very good shape, I'm a senior manager for a software company. I live in a major metropolitan city. First dates are easy for me to come by. If I have a claim to fame on this board, it's that I go on more first dates...

I've had this happen a few times: I'll go out with someone once or twice, and their interest level is clearly very high. They'll go on a long pre-planned trip for vacation or business, for 2 or 3 weeks. When they come back, interest level is way lower. Anyone else experience this? My...

Went out with this girl for a drink, we had a great time. Made out afterward. This was Monday. We agreed that we should go out this weekend. I left her a message earlier tonight, she just left a voice mail for me. She's got plans Saturday, but can do Friday. Typically, for 2nd dates, I...

No need to reply to this thread, I'm just making myself articulate a few truths I learned tonight: - Don't peruse women that you're only half-interested in, because they'll sense it, and end it first, which is doubly frustrating. - Don't meet up with a women and her friends if you haven't...

So I'd be interested in hearing some predictions on this. There's this women at work, she's about a year older than me. I think she's 36. Good looking. Got married 2 years ago. She's become a good friend of mine. I'm not interested in her beyond platonic friendship. She tells me about her...

I just started dating someone, and 10 years is the biggest age difference I've ever had in a relationship. It's going well, so far. Anyone got any general advice in these types of situations & relationships?

I've been doing a lot of dinner & drinks for dates, and I'd like to mix it up. I'd definitely appreciate it if you guys could throw out some ideas for dates in the real early stages (like 3rd/4th/5th date type of stuff).

Anyone got any New Year's Resolutions, as they relate to the topic at hand? Mine is 'no AFC moves in 2008.'

If you don't read 'Best of Craigslist,' I'd certainly recommend it. It can be really funny. I thought this particular post was of particular relevance to this forum: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/lax/483318927.html

Is there a thread that someone knows of regarding sites like Match? I have been using them a lot, with a pretty good amount of success. But I bet there's a good thread around here somewhere that would help me tighten my game a bit, as it relates to online dating.

So generally, on first date, I suggest meeting up for a drink somewhere, and seeing where it goes. It's been my assumption that having alcohol involved is a good thing. This weekend, I'm looking at least one potential date where she suggested we go to a chocolate cafe. Which I'm actually...

Sorry for the flurry of threads, but I just found this board, and I have all these questions I'm trying to get out of my system. Do you guys use text-messaging as a follow-up after a 1st date (I'm all about improving my game during and after 1st dates). Or does it not matter how you follow up...

Normally, if I meet up on a Friday, I'll call on a Monday. If it's a Saturday, I'll still call on a Monday. Someone said earlier they wait 5 days. Do you guys suggest waiting until, say, Wednesday? A bit of context: I'm 34, most of the women I'm talking about are 27 to 32, working...

Hi folks - after surfing on this forum a bit, I realized that this section of the forum might be a better place to seek feedback, since I'm 34. So I'm repeating some thoughts that I did post a bit earlier in another section of the forum. In any case, here is my problem. I am getting plenty...
