I have a great story
My first date blunder Images?1347316785 So the weekend comes and it’s time to meet Sarah. I am nervous, but very excited. I spent the day hand washing and waxing my baby: my car – a Volkswagen GT hatchback – the pride of my life. After cleaning and detailing the inside and outside of my car, I went inside to shower and get myself looking as sharp as the car. Finally the time ... Read more...
Great Dane asked:

Is this situation salvageable?

  • Dreamerella Just a thought - but how much of the vegan lifestyle do you know about and would be willing to compromise?? I'm sure this girl is a lot of what you think you want, but maybe this was a blessing in disguise. This event could also be a lesson on being less attached to object in your life.

    rolyt Ouch. You blew it - if you really like her the go for an apology. If she says no, then move on.

  • Default-avatar-75x75

    Joe This has nothing to do with how much you love your car, it has to do with your denial of responsibility. As driver of the car you should check if the park is legitimate not your passengers. This situation will be hard to salvage because you showed her your true colours, that of a coward. Yeah you were upset and the though of your baby getting scratched was too much to bear so what does that say about you in a pressure situation? She would be thinking you react irrationally whenever things go bad (this wasn't even that bad) and ultimately, that isn't a desirable trait in a partner.

    BeenThruALot That was fucked up if I was her, I wouldn't wanna talk to you. (But you if u commit to not being a jerk and give her a very elaborate apology she might go on a second date with ur self center ass)

  • Default-avatar-75x75

    ninal you were a total jerk, but for better or worse, we women respond well to genuine sincerity....meet with her in person, and tell her how ridiculous you were, and that it will never happen again. If this was reversed, I think a man would write her off immediately, but I think you still stand a chance. Maybe it's time to consider a bike.

6 Weeks Images?q=tbn:and9gcq8tdmjr95uffrl1fzuxsyyu51plgpnqitrj_x_erbvqlyhgnxopq It's been six weeks since my engagement ended. After six weeks and his lack of texting or calling me, I have to admit to myself it is over. Some days are harder than others.  I woke up this morning to another nightmare where my ex-fiance was with a blonde woman. They were in the train station and I saw them kiss and I just stare...

  • WotWentWrong Blog Sounds like a promising start! Good luck! Looking forward to hearing all the details! Maybe you should create a relationship here and start recording everything about it so we can follow along!

  • Valerie I tell myself that everyday...Val...he doesn't want to be with you...I will meet a man who does...it's on its way.

First Date with Mr. Impeccable Images?q=tbn:and9gct1-q4ipy8hcvguimd6x7afgtftmhstuzy1kved6xg520fgac0nga I awoke this morning to a nightmare about my brother. For the first time my ex-fiance was not the first thing on my mind.  I spent the day and too much money at Ikea, purchasing many wonderful things to upgrade the state of my new bachlorette pad. I got home just a touch too late for comfort, and rushed to get ready for my date.... Read more...
  • Travelling Girl Little Miss that's fantastic! So glad the date went well. Three things that you mentioned that he did are also winners for me: putting his hand on the small of your back (I don't think guys really understand the NLP power of this), paying for dinner while you're in the bathroom (thus avoiding the awkward reach for the wallet scenario) and texting you straight after he left you. +3 points! I also think that him not kissing you on the first date actually means he likes you enough to want to take things slowly +2 more points!

  • Little Miss. Thanks T-Girl, He's at +5 That's awesome. Can't wait for the next date

  • Dreamerella This guy sounds really great. I can't wait to hear how things progress with him. :) I really like the fact that you've known this guy for a while so it's like he was a friend first which I think is a great foundation for developing a romantic relationship. And I agree with Travelling Girl on the points system. :)

Date Topics That Can Break the Ice and Leave a Warm Fuzzy Feeling Shutterstock_68828245 Do you find it easier to communicate online than in person? First dates can be a stressful experience for those not properly prepared and the old adage that practice makes perfect is all so true in the early stages of dating. Go on dates regularly to stay in practice for when the right one does come along. Sometimes, someone you are onl... Read more...
On a first date, do you dress for yourself or for your date? Shutterstock_66626656 It’s a classic first date conundrum—figuring out what to wear to make the best possible impression. No matter how many times we’ve been told to just be ourselves, it’s impossible to get ready without even considering how we might appear to the outside observer. For the most part, people try to look attractive on the first date, high... Read more...

Time to Call it a "Date", I mean "Day" I'm putting the challenge out to the blogosphere and wider community to give me your "shortest" date stories.  And before you start tapping away on your keyboard with stories of the 4 foot wonder that showed up one day, stop.  I'm not talking about your vertically challenged friends.  I'm talking about those dates that you didn't deem worthy en...

The Overpolite 'Friendship Intending to Become Dating' Scenario Here's a scenario that happened to me last Saturday: I encountered a very polite, clean, mature, interesting, and baggage-free man who very much so likes many things that I do. I was at a theater on Friday, and he was checking tickets. I knew I had seen him before--actually several times over the past 5 years. I just never asked who he was or r... Read more...

Am I being ridiculous about this?

  • sg2 It's ok if you don't feel comfortable dating the guy. He's seems pretty aggressive too, seeing that you've already told him bluntly you're not interested in dating him, and he still pursues it. If he can't stand just being a friend, I'd just ignore it and move on.

  • Ella This is the worst situation but if you really liked him you would love the attention he is giving you. I had a friend who was like my twin. He would talk about how we were going to move in together and we even named our fake kids. That was fine to me because he knew we were just friends. But then any chance he would have to be close to me or hold my hand he would. One time he bought me this really cool gift and I was so excited I hugged him real tight and gave him a kiss on the cheek so the next time he bought me something he expected a full on makeout session and seemed pouty when I denied it. It just ruined every good moment we had. And it got to be real annoying. The best thing for the both of us was to stop being friends. I would tell him that you can't hang out with him as friends either because you don't want to lead him on.

    JP70 you are scared of finally been able to settle down, this guys may be in love with you, maybe controlling yes but probably because he is desperate to settle down or thinks that saying those things to you you will feel at ease, don't decide until you ca find out how sincere he is, give him a chance and tell him you want to go slow and if he can stop talking like that you will be able to enjoy his company a little more. good Luck.

The Misconception of Luke's Interest Recently I was at a party and I bumped into an old friend of mine, Belinda, who I hadn't seen in a while.  As I walked up to her, Belinda was in the midst of talking about something that perplexed her.  A few days back, Belinda had bumped into a guy that she had been on one date with 2 years ago.  Now, Belinda is currently happily engaged to a ...

The Text Stalker Shutterstock_103042898 Sometimes you know the moment that you meet someone that it just isn’t going to work, but you kind of feel a bit bad for giving up before you even start.  Richard wasn’t my usual type but as my usual type turned out to be inconsiderate slobs, so I thought changing direction might be better. There were a lot of things stacked against Ric... Read more...

First Date Fail Shutterstock_102903800 If you haven’t tried out Internet dating before, let me give you a word of caution.  Choose the location where you are going to meet your date for the first time, very carefully. There are lots of reasons for this; one biggie is the safety aspect. If you meet him in the middle of nowhere and he turns out to be a complete nut, then you h... Read more...
