    Attempted pickup on vacation

    I just returned from a Club Med in the Caribbean. Didn't have too much success there, but I'm wondering what I may have done wrong with one particular woman. She was by herself after dinner, hanging out by the bar. The dancing was relocated that night to the beachside patio, so it was...

    Benefiting from low oil/gas prices

    All the talk on the business news stations is that oil and gas might get considerably lower. Worldwide demand has to pick up at some point - people keep cranking out more people. Those people want to drive cars, use plastics, etc. Fully replacing non-renewable fossil fuels with renewables...

    Don't let life pass you by...

    There's a twice-yearly gathering of people who legally own machine guns, flamethrowers and light artillery in Westpoint, Kentucy. Anyone can go to watch, and even fire some of the weapons, if the people on the firing line are renting them out. I've wanted to go to this since I read about...

    She's so fleet of foot... but so damned cute!

    In my apartment building, I encountered a really cute gal who seems to be just my type - a bit shorter than me, slim (almost athletic), pretty in the face, and blonde. She doesn't live here, though. Her job involves dropping off newspapers at the door of everyone who is a subscriber. I...

    A good response to "Sorry I haven't called" ?

    I recently met a woman I like who's moving. She seemed amenable to getting together for dinner soon, but when I called her recently she sounded a bit agitated and told me she couldn't do it until she was completely settled in. We've talked a few times since then (I fix her computers, and she...

    Honest question - dilemma I'm grappling with

    Met a nice gal last year - first time in a long time that I bonded with someone roughly my age (nearly all past GFs have been older). I think that I fell in "like a lot" with her, rather than love. And I was never that strongly attracted to her physically. She had some health issues, too -...

    Tell a buddy I saw the signs???

    Sorry, I'm horrible - A really good friend of mine is getting divorced after only a year of marriage, and I knew it wouldn't work out, well before he proposed. Aside from feeling sympathetic toward his plight, my next biggest feeling was "I knew it would happen - I told you so." I never felt...

    Workaholic loses the girl

    Someone I met recently who had very high interest level sent me an email saying "nice knowing you, have a nice life" when I didn't respond to an emailed invitation to hang out in the city with only a few hours' notice. I thought I made it clear when I first met her that I see a lot of...

    Dealing with female stalking

    I did a forum search on "stalking" and "dealing with stalking" and didn't get satisfactory results. Here's the situation: I met a gal who is seven years older than myself during a consulting job in a nearby city. Right away, she was the agressor - although we swapped numbers, she called...

    Anyone ever enounter a guy like this?

    Back when I worked in corporate purchasing, there was a very junior level Finance guy I began to call Silent Bob. He could never look me in the eye or acknowledge a friendly hello in the hallway when I walked by. And he was very quiet as he went about his duties. But man, he was C&F...

    Gun owners/enthusiasts here???

    I'm curious about attitudes toward guns here on this forum. I suppose "anything else" would be the place to bring the topic up. Anyone here especially pro or anti-gun?

    "Sweet Spot" for woman friends...

    Attractive enough to be seen with, but not attractive that you want to sleep with them. I have a woman friend like this, and it's just perfect. Anyone else agree/disagree?

    What's the DJ way to handle...

    I did a search of the forums under "Cell Phone" and "Cellphone" and didn't come up with anything I found useful for this question. So here goes: On a first date, what's the real DJ way (Assertive, decisive but classy and not rude) to handle a woman who keeps taking cell phone calls during...

    No more favors...

    I do occasional consulting work for a law firm. The office I'm assigned to use as my temporary "home base" is near an HB7s secretarial bay. I like her a lot, but really haven't tried much convo on her. The guy I work with when I'm there thinks I'm nuts for liking her, but hey - we all have...

    21 Days of Raw Fear

    Three weeks ago, I woke up with chills and a knot in my stomach that killed my appetite the whole day. My apartment is 80+ degrees in the morning, yet some mornings I shook for nearly an hour. Lymph nodes, joints and muscles started aching, often alternating different sides of my body. I...

    "Due to a lack of Communication"

    I met an older gal on Lavalife. We hit it off, not big time or anything, but it seemed like things went OK. Once we met on Lavalife, swapped brief emails and had a few Yahoo! IM chats. I don't believe in talking too much before a first date, so a few lines into an IM conversation, I...

    "I'll tell her you're a really nice guy"

    Ever come across a woman who takes a shine to you, perhaps a client, acquiantance, etc. who asks if you're single and in reponse says, "I know somebody for you. I'll tell her I found a nice guy for her." As soon as she says that, say "I'd rather you tell her that you've met a fun guy, or a...

    Hmmm... got the cell#

    I was suddenly dismissed from a job about a year ago. Liked a gal who was married at the time. Was told recently that she was suddenly let go, too and that her hubby had departed a while back. I think she's a great catch, someone I'd like to take a shot at an LTR with. I got her email...

    Ever stop to consider this???

    When you step back and think about it, isn't it ridiculous that so much effort has to go into "meeting, dating and attracting women?" That just obeying our biological drive to reproduce ('cuz that's the origin of our sex instinct) is so bloody difficult to bring to its ultimate fulfillment...

    Response to a Feminist???

    I've never encountered this, but I'd like to be prepared. Apparently some "womyn" are offended when a man holds a door open for her. If a gal actually has the nerve to throw a hissy at a guy who does this simple courteous act, what's a good comeback? I was thinking along the lines...
