I go for a long drive with some good music. Doesn't matter about direction. I go to my best mates and hammer all the issues out over a cuppa. Or just run with the ipod on full blast. Was having a lot of problems a while ago and got SO fit from running all the issues away
Oh I know. I got that you weren't saying you wanted the fancy restaurants paid for etc. I'm sure a lot of girls wouldn't say no to that though.
But I meant that, as a guy, getting through this stigma of paying for the dates. If you're afraid you don't have enough money, then go for a walk. If you can't afford lunch, pack a picnic. I've found that having no money has made me more romantic cause I have to find other ways around situations where I used to just pay for stuff.
I just find, if you don't have the money, don't do anything expensive. Besdes some petrol, I don't think any of my dates have been "expensive". Easier said than done in nicer weather of course but even if it starts to rain, it's a good oppertnity to give her your coat and pretend you're a gentleman.
I won't go into the details of my best ever date (already been done actually ) but suffice to say, I had a great time, met a great girl and no matter what happens in the future, it'll always be remembered as a simply wonderfull day.
My worst? I went to the cinema with this girl once. I'd ben volunteering at the homeless shelter all night so was wrecked and probably a little messy when I met her. t was SO embarassing but I didn't want to start on the whole "I volunteer" thing so hoped she wouldn't notice. she paid for everything but I was shy and didn't know how to refuse. It's so confusing these days. Some women get offended when you try so didn't know what to do. To make it up to her, I was going to take her for a surprise meal in a fancy restaurant around the corner. But she gave me her popcorn, said she was going to the toilet and never came back. I cried all the way home.
No idea about America in 96 so can't comment. But forcing people into situations where they cannot reasonably cope is not gonna solve anything. So, no. I don't agree.
People who take the piss annoy me too but it's not for me or you to decide who gets what. There are people out there who truly deserve anything they can get and "tough love" will not help them in the slightest.
It's a good job you don't decide who gets allowances for this country. People have different circumstances. When a man leaves the wife and kids behind to fend for themselves, it's not like they can afford childcare to go out to this full-time job you speak of (if such things even exist a the moment). Relatives aren't always an option but if people like you were in power, either the kids would get taken off them or they'd get no money. VERY compassionate!
My problem is with the fact that since you arrived on the forum, you have gone out of your way to insult pretty much every group of people. (Including your inane ramblings which were removed the other night). As for you agrreing with Ken. I'd remark on the huge flaws in his argument too but LC managed to sum it up perfectly.
For someone who's first couple of posts preached about anti-bullying and understanding, you really are going out of your way to be obnoxious, argumentative and downright ignorant.
