Dating in Washington

Thanks for responding. Perhaps with the rainy weather, we are just use to being tucked away and not getting together with others. I'm not from Washington, but I've lived here for quite some time. I'm from a small town and I've thought it quite strange when I've said hello, and I didn't get a hello back. This never happened where I grew up.

RE: why do guys think no means yes??

Well there's an interesting way of squirming out of a bad situation.

Everyone that knows you?????

This is an open forum to the World,,,you know,,the entire planet,,a clue,,TWO BILLION people.

What did you do with the other four billion people?

RE: THE GIRL U R DATING SLEEPS WITH YOU ON THE FIRST DATE..

Well, if I slept with her on the first date and then judged her...then that would be foolish of me because I would be guilty of the same thing.

RE: Why you mary or not marry?

I would want to marry because I loved the guy and would want to share my life with them. I would not want to marry just to say that I'm married. I would not want to marry a man who was ignorant, rude, selfish, or mean.

RE: Number of unmarried women increases every year

Are you feeling inadequate in the bedroom department?

RE: Number of unmarried women increases every year

<Grin> Your ideas are simply old fashioned. Sorry, women shouldn't take what ever comes along. I don't feel a woman needs a man to feel whole, but they are nice to have. Also, in the United States, it is becoming more popular for older women to marry younger men, and the women are not as desperate to get married as you say. You know, we are not talking about used cars. I don't think there is anything wrong with a woman who has been "played with." Many men have been "played with" also. That doesn't make them any less of a person or less loveable. Besides, a women with experience will be better in bed with you. Also, people's taste changes from their early teens to their 20's,30's, 40's or 50's. The guys I dated in my 20's I would not be attracted to in my 40's. Maybe why many women haven't married is because they have been focusing on their careers or personal development. When they do get married, they will be a more lively and interesting partner.

Dating in Washington

I once read an article about dating in Washington state. It stated that there are more single people here than anywhere in the U.S., except Alaska. One of the reasons for this was the weather. It also said that many of us have become hermits. The acticle said that at coffee shops, people are behind their computer screen, on their cell phone, or reading a paper. Do you find this to be true? Are you a non-native to Washington and do you find Washington different from your home location? I recently went to both Tully's and Starbucks and I did notice that people were pretty occupied.

RE: Your Reaction!

Me too. At least I would know the truth and could move on.

RE: Your Reaction!

You Freak!

















Just kidding. I knew you were joking.

RE: Preferential Treatment

Here is another fun site.


There is a "mask" that you can put over your picture to see if you have the "perfect face," or how close you are to the perfect face. There is a mathematical formula for this. Even with humans, there is a geometrical formula for the perfect dimensions.

I think the initial attraction is based on looks, but we are also influenced by cultural norms. I think once you get to know someone, they may become more beautiful because you start to see the inner beauty more.

RE: Preferential Treatment

Yes

RE: Love V Hate

It is really hard when you don't know them well and they start off arguing. As they say, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. It is hard to feel warm and fuzzy about them when all you know is their bitterness.

RE: Love V Hate

Ahhh, just throw shoes at them. Then you will feel better.

RE: Things One Can Do When Living Alone

If I don't feel like cooking, I can do take out.
I can spend time reading without feeling like I'm neglecting anyone.
I don't have anyone telling me how to spend my money.
Less housework ;)
I don't have to listen to the sound of ball games
I can watch tons of chick flicks
If I've had a stressful day, I can go home and relax and have time to think without anyone asking me what is wrong.

RE: I see this alot

Yes that is.

RE: I see this alot

I'm pretty organized, so he couldn't get me on that one. Even my friends ask for my assistance to help them get organized. The thing that he would do is constantly accuse me of cheating. If a guy even looked at me and he noticed, he would ask me who he was. I'd tell him, I don't know who he is, then he would ask me why he was looking at me. Then the fight would begin.

RE: Moonlight Serenade

I like that. I haven't head that one yet. I always like her song from the movie Titanic - My heart will go on.

RE: Moonlight Serenade

Here is the version wit Nat & Natalie Cole "Unforgettable."

Again, it sound sound much better on CD with the right speakers.

RE: I see this alot

RE: Moonlight Serenade

The sound on this link wasn't so good. It was recorded off of a record. I have it on a CD, it sounds so much better. I also like the version with his daughter singing with him.

RE: Moonlight Serenade

Nat King Cole's song, unforgettable.

RE: I see this alot

Don't you mean strength or endurance?

RE: I see this alot

I once heard someone say that being in a relationship is a lot like driving a car. You glance a little bit in the rear view mirror so you are not surprised by what is coming up behind you, but you don't stare at the past, otherwise you will get in a wreck. So, keep your eyes forward, and only glance once in awhile at the past so that you learn from your mistakes.

RE: I see this alot

You control freak.

RE: I see this alot

You are very right, on all scores. You have hit the nail on the head. It also sounds like a fellow sister in the trenches.

Luckly for me, I got to see his evil side before we married. That's why when he wanted to get married I said no. That's one thing he couldn't make me do. Now when I see guys with even a hint of this I'm so out of there.

RE: I see this alot

Ever see the movie Sleeping With the Enemy with Julia Roberts? That is what controlling looks like.

RE: I see this alot

I guess from my experience I took the flight response, and when I start to feel cornered, I tend to want to run. I know in the back of my mind that there are really nice guys out there, I have a wonderful father and 5 great brothers, but sometimes in the beginning it is hard to tell the difference.

RE: I see this alot

Guys like that make me so I've seen it too many times with my friends. I started to go down that path when I was real young. He was a stalker too. I move away, changed my job and got away from him. Many women are not so lucky and end up in the morgue. If you see the warning signs in the beginning, run like the wind.
