Detract, according to dictionary means "take away from"- so you could by mistake happen to forget to show some good sides(?) Is that what you need schooling in, to avoid showing less desireable sides? When I was young we called that "being cool" or rather trying to be cool. .... yea, ----
But do you really need a mock date for that? To train up your social skills. You just have to chill... a bit. That is about all me recon. I think classing for you would just make it worse, cos you might sit there trying to remember what not to do... making you more and not less nervous. So no. No classes, but try and be kinda cool as much as possible without loosing yourself.
Yea, I can point to a few around here (including blogs) I'd go on a date with and they all have photos. The faceless are safe from me even if thay may be good catches. Impossible to know if I fancy them or not then.
What is this foreign species you speak of? Wom-en? I'm not sure I've heard of them. Do they have feelings, emotions, plans and hope for the future? Hmmm... I may have met one of those once: I was driving recklessly downtown Oslo as usual, and this one wasn't sure where to go in her car while she was looking for the entrance to the parking lot. Was meeting a friend for a restaurant visit you see. They do eat right? -if so this may have been one of those you speak of. Anyway, after scaring her pretty firmly with my aggressive driving millieters away from scratching a fender or two - we both got out of each other's cars. I immediately told her it was all my fault. She just opened her arms (I don't know if that's normal) and so did I and we hugged each other there in the middle of the street, two strangers who had just met. It lasted pretty long before we let go and moved on with our lives.
In conclusion: can't rule out hand holding but a hug may come in handy too seems to be the tone of things.
That's bull, they not tolerant towards nothing. Except the chosen vierdo of the day, whatever who/what that might be at any given moment. "Are you an ordinary gay? Hmmm sounds suspicious... lesbian? We're not so sure we are in favor of those.... It needs to be pretty colorful for us to have any use of it you see, as political dynamite."
Sure, but it's more than just a religion for the weak. It's revenge too. Bullying as political weapon. Madness put in system in order to annoy as much as humanly possible the conservative side. Problem is the child gets washed out with the bathwater; the normal guy get's annoyed too. Long term this can't work cos there is no balance what so ever.
O.P, trying to keep cool, but not always so easy no. People can tend to make you feel alone or isolated, and frankly Im not sure what goes on in their heads. Silence seems the new methode now, cos that speaks loudest or whatnot.
My fathre always irritaded himself over this, how people acted 'too expensive'- too often, also near ones.
No, that is not all. But just as women have their wish list I have mine, and it goes like this on looks: she has to attract me enough, not more than just enough on the physical side of things. And that usualy means a 6 or higher on the scale from 1 to 10, Be Derek being 10. When it comes to the mind the list of wishes is longer but we don't have to delve into that right now, as physical appearance seems to be the main topic.
Ok I understand kerstfeest now. Kerst is Chirst and feest is celebration/party. My thinking was more German on that one, but zalig was easy. And it actually is not directly 'holy' but more a 'holy state of mind filled with peace and joy'. That is what salig is in Norwegian. Norwegain has a lot in common with Dutch.
