The girl's side of getting ready

Ms Witch, I'd switch for you, when you say such nice things.

Am I seriously the only female on CS who dresses up for a first date

CH have to say in your profile pic you are looking like someone who put a bit of time into her hair, makeup and dress choice?

Fraya, ain't that the weirdest part of dating older guys? The places they can grow hair?

The girl's side of getting ready

Cat, my mum was right, I am special. I astonish men who have been trained by other women with how quickly I can brush up nicely.

I was going to say how quickly I can dress but that has Implications that belong to later dates ...

The girl's side of getting ready

Well, I can count on the fingers of both hands (okay, removing one shoe) the times when I've been nervously excited about a date. I guess I do go overboard but for me that's part of the fun.

Actually, in many of those cases, that was the most fun part! I do miss the buzz never quite the same once you know what you're in for on that second / third date, and after that I dress for me

And by the way, I expect him to be clean and shaved and trimmed, nose hairs plucked, ears defuzzed, clean clothes (ironing optional but much appreciated). You can do that in five minutes? Your CAT takes longer! and he's neutered!

The girl's side of getting ready

Cat, it takes about an HOUR, start to finish. I CAN get ready in five ten minutes, but not for a first date!

Fraya, the only way I can get myself out the door for a first date is to get keyed up. LOVE dressing up even if the end result looks as though I spent 10 minutes getting ready!

Not ungrateful for the other, though. Been very handy in its time. Who remembers this song? My first boyfriend used to sing it to me. I was Not Grateful.

The girl's side of getting ready

I wanna be drop-dead gorgeous. My mum used to say I was Special (not so special I got to ride the Special Bus) and my friends always said kindly that I had Personality. It's like having Really Great Hair.

Just once, though, I'd like a first date where I knock the guy flying with my fabulousness instead of my personality! I've come close, a couple of times, but they always recovered, because stupid personality got in the way again.

Any red-hot tips, ladies?

RE: Be your own man

Ok I hate myself for saying this but now I want to know why Cat's little Richard doesn't get asterisked.

RE: Be your own man

Can I not agree, and see what happens?

RE: ..... ... ...where is ....HE?...

Well, speaking just for me, he left. Maybe it was just him, not HIM.

Still, just as well. Very dull to only have one wish in your life.

Workout video. Crank it up.

Still looking for a treadmill. Hi all thanks for comments and sorry I faded last night. Probably fading again tonight but will be around over the weekend, looking forward to lively blogs

All together now.

TGIF

RE: Name for an interactive single club in the NC?

Always does but hope you are no longer freezing anyway

RE: Why failure can be good and in some cases great...

That Dr Seuss legend is persistent, also that he self-published. Actually I was told he was commissioned to write a book using only 600 words. But that may also be urban myth.

For sure, giving up guarantees failure. If you set your sights at something you can achieve, you are aiming too low ... lots of motivational stuff out there.

The saddest thing in life is to achieve your life's ambition, because then you have no goal.

The second saddest thing is never to achieve it.

Rock and a hard place, eh?

Hey, Ekself, how's the house-building going?

RE: Name for an interactive single club in the NC?

Don't forget to link it on meetup.com there isn't much going in SA on that site so it should stand out really well. And is free!

Sociable Singles?

Workout video. Crank it up.

Where's your treadmill?

RE: Pick up lines

Noooooo don't make me the bad guy. I was being chatted up by a very somber funeral director and felt guiltily that my mirth was out of place.

No ending, a beginning, all 3 like cars, are singing from the same hymn sheet, now just a question of logistics

This just in by email:

WIFE TO DRUNK HUSBAND: from now on, if your lips touch liquor they'll never touch mine again
HUSBAND: awwwwww??
WIFE: now what are you thinking ??
HUSBAND: deciding......
WIFE: deciding what ?
18 yrs old SCOTCH
OR
60 yrs old LIPS...

oooooooooooooooooooooooh.

RE: Pick up lines

Things getting very louche here, time for respectable types like me to head for the hills

Over 'n out for now

RE: Pick up lines

Love - sounds like a fairly hard-working conversation. Did things pick up a bit from there?


Piece, you're obsessed with that mountain! Lucy strikes me as a very sure-footed lady

RE: Pick up lines

Lucy, in SA we called men like Sola solar-powered. And he lives in a sunny country! Girl, you're in for the test drive of the century.

RE: Pick up lines

Lucy - you are a smart woman!

RE: Pick up lines

Lucy

Lucy and Solly, sitting in a tree - I forget the rest, but it's all good clean fun. Er - don't let that put you off -

RE: Pick up lines

Not going to have any squeaking of bedsprings, either

RE: Pick up lines

Do NOT use the one I just got. "Life is very impotent to me"

RE: The Die Is Cast

Sands - not much longer now to tote that weary load. No, didn't watch it, went through a fairly obsessive stage and now in a really good place and keeping my aura as pink and frothy as I can make it which means avoiding the dark things

You are probably making the sign at me right now - aha! self-proclaimed nutjob! - but right now? This minute? A little giddy ...

RE: The Die Is Cast

Sands (sorry, Cat, should take this off piste) you told me never ever communicate, so you weakened?

Your advice back at you
