tony1234 The games will always be there. Don't over analyze. Judge by ones actions. She invited you out, so she obviously likes to spend time with you.

MoonLover Don't over think this.. and remember: Girls get away from boys that are too interested.. ;)

Phoenix You should have explained why you are different from the others in being ok with just cuddling, but that you are still very attracted to her. She may have been confused by your being a gentlemen. Sounds stupid, but maybe it's appropriate to the situation.

Travelling Girl so what's the latest? still fighting?

simplicity he came around but still a bit moody

Travelling Girl That's not great. Having "atmosphere" hovering between you is difficult. It's not healthy to let that stuff linger.

GoodTimes maybe it's some data in the hard drive that he wants/needs. the solution is to use a cloud backup service so there are less physical things to lose/fight over. i try to eliminate as much physical things as possible now. it also reduces clutter.

beddy @good times yah i wud agree with you maybe he wants something from the hard drive

Rissa Bee I always feel comfortable splitting, these days guys think you owe them something just because they pay for dinner.

TigerToy as a single female, on a first date with a new man, it can be intimidating to let him pick up the tab. While I find chivalry to be very attractive, I also find that it can be very much a power-move for the man to pay. As a woman, it had sometimes made me feel as though the man now "expects" something in return for his "chivalry", and that isn't the impression I want to feel from my date. Granted, any man who makes a woman feel that way, probably will not land a second date, but nonetheless, it could be avoided with splitting the bill. If it's a first date between people who already somewhat know each other through other avenues, it may be less uncomfortable for the man to take the check, and the woman may find it endearing. As far as modern day equality, I think there's a time and a place for everything. While I tend to be drawn to some traditional, as well as unconventional tendencies, I think a balanced blend of both philosophies proves to be beneficial in today's dating game.

Ella I think the guy should pay on the first date expecially if he asked her out. I find it refreshing because it shows old school relationship values. If by chance the girl does the asking then in this instance yes the girl should pay and it would be a very gentleman move if the man offered to pay. I do agree that splitting the bill means its not a date or that you are in a relationship already.

Smiles I think th guy should pay on the first date...if as a woman you didn't like the whole experience and don't want to see him again or feel obligated to him because of the bill, then you should offer to split the bill. Evenually, if it matures into a relationship it's ok to pay the bill now and then.

Daniela P. i prefer to split it only because i don't know for sure that my relationship with them is going to blossom into romance and i can't imagine how many times a guy has had to pay for a first date in the past. i'd still appreciate it if i offer to pay and he insists on paying the entire bill.

WotWentWrong Blog Welcome to WotWentWrong @Little Miss! We look forward to living vicariously through your dating life!

Travelling Girl Wow, you sound pretty together for only being a month out of a relationship that was going to last for the rest of your life! It may not seem like it now, but everything happens for a reason!

Little Miss. pretty together? yeah, that's so much easier said than done, but I am definitely learning, growing and moving to the future. Everything does happen for a reason and sometimes we need people to remind us of that. Thank you! :)

Amy M. Im sorry about that @Little Miss, its for the best that it happened now than later.

Little Miss. You would be shocked at how many people say that. I know you are right.

Dreamerella Kate has a relationship with someone that even she defines as "nothing serious" which leaves both Kate and Joe open to exploring other options. It's unfortunate that Kate had to witness this encounter but this kind of stuff could have been happening anyway, with other women when Kate wasn't with him. So Kate shouldn't be so hard on Drunk Danielle and Drunk Joe who lost inhibitions while under the influence. And I'd tell Kate to not be so hard on herself for developing a crush on Joe. It's really hard to be in a "nothing serious" relationship when you have an emotional connection to someone. Honestly, the best "nothing serious" relationships are with hot, stupid men that you see absolutely no romantic potential with. Perhaps that's the kind of guy Kate should look for in the future if she doesn't want anything serious?

Valerie Dreamerella...that kind of stuff, was happening. Kate cut the loser loose. She's rethinking what she wants, and more importantly deserves, from a relationship.

Travelling Girl Update please!

Rissa Bee Finally someone tells the truth!!! No your addiction with COD has you thinking that you really are a sniper and you're not!!! That is not attractive.. and I love the picture I don't think any women ever said that! Hilarious I love it!

Laura M. Playing games isn't childish. Everyone needs a bit of fun in their lives, I'm a 29 y/o female gamer and I find women with this cruddy, wailing attitude sound more childish. People only start yelling "addiction" about computer games when they don't understand it, don't care and want some attention. Go find yourself a partner who hates playing games as much as you do if you can't stand it. If you can't suck it up and pick up a controller before you make another silly poll. You never know, you might enjoy a game. Many women are addicted to farmville type games, at least in COD you have to think a little about what your doing rather than clicking on cows.

Travelling Girl Personally, I'd much rather be single and enjoy my own company and my freedom than be in a relationship that doesn't fulfill me. It can feel more lonely to be in a relationship with the wrong person.

StealthSeductress I understand what you are talking about. I once knew a lady who married a man who was very emotionally distant and could be quite cold and sarcastic. As she would talk about him I got the impression by the things she said like, "People marry people for different reasons, I married him for security not for love." Although, I totally understood her point and listened with a non-judgement, I couldn't help but to be impressed due to the conversation context and how I had heard her make this statement before, that what she was really telling me was, "I settled with him because I was lonely and he is a good provider and wanted me. Now I feel guilty and unfulfilled and I keep telling you to convince myself my choice was ok."
