???? Huh? When did this go from me not wanting to date a mom because I don't want to deal with the father of her kids, to me saying the father is not capable of being a father???

THE GODDAMN QUOTES.

But whatever. This is seriously off-topic, I am dropping it.

E-mail is NOT an appropriate method for asking a woman out on a 1st date.

IMO you need to resolve your personal issues before pursuing women. All the doom-and-gloom stuff points to a poor self image and is the #1 turn off for women. As I mentioned on page 2, there are classes that teach men how to be confident in themselves (that also means not putting down other people's interests) and how to approach women. You should consider looking into that (I suspect there are other mannerisms that could use improvement besides verbal communication). I was in a similar boat that you are currently in until I had a life changing experience that made me re-evaluate my social life (or lack thereof). Afterward I decided to take a lot more risks and once I had a small taste of success my confidence drastically improved. It feeds off of itself... more confidence = greater success.

Can you tell us what your life changing experience was?

In this case, I thought she'd be more willing to go somewhere if she had more familair company along, hence the friend invite. As I told her fellow co-worker the next day, I'd be happy just to expand my friend base at this point, wich is why I've started hanging out when neighbors I don't know and friends of friends who are around visiting. So, I picked my favorite franchise, and one the general public might be more interested in, and failed miserably with it .


As for soccer moms, while I don't mind kids hanging around, I'd like to experience the whole thing with someone who's never been married. Long term dating, or even engagement I don't mind as much, but a mom is it too much at this point.

And I've definetly tried the friend part, and would like to continue trying that part. I had about 8 girl friends in highschool, some I've just started up talking to again thanks to myspace. It just never expanded with real world lady friends afterword . Maybe they know someone to introduce me to .

How long ago was high school? I think you should try to expand your friend base either through work or other activities as I earlier stated. There is a reason you have not stayed in touch with these "girl friends"... (i.e. they were not really friends), so don't expect much.

About 1997. And it's not the case with only the girls, but I've lost touch with the guys as well, all except one kid who's a friend of my mothers, so we see each other pretty often, and another friend I spot around town on occasion and chat with for about 10 minutes to catch up. All the others have since moved out of state, or have their own family and friend group base,wich is why I've heard from most of them via classmates, or myspace.


As far as work goes, no one my own age, and someone who's 28, and closing in on 58 dosn't have much in common . Their kids are also grown up, and never stop in, so that's out of reach for friends in that group, but I am friendly with all my co-workers. I guess this is one of the prices I pay for not going to college, a zero easy to make friend base.

Neil,

What the fuck do want from this thread? You have an excuse for how pathetic your life is as an answer to every piece of advice. It's possitively mind boggling.

I've gotten plenty of good advice. I just don't see how my answers could be inciting so many angry responses. I'm writing these calmly, and clearly, and I can only picture people jumping up and down with pitchforks reading it on the other end, since every other post seems to be eliciting a swear word .

I'm just telling it as it is, answering questions, and taking it all in. I'm not as depressed as I was about it a few months ago, as now that the weight loss has finally started from the gym, my mood has improved a bit...but the responses seem just as angry .



oh well, this thread has served it's purpose, so mods if ye want to close it, feel free ..

I'm all for closing this one, with the condition that you don't start another dating thread, ever again.

No, you have the right thread, Neil seems to scare off potential mates with a frightening regularity!
Close the thread if you must but it has been highly entertaining to say the least.

Alternatively you can try hard drugs. Pleasure is several times greater than orgasm, and cheaper than most dates. Long term effects are similar (you lose just about everything you've worked for).

Neil, we still love you .

Re: Dating 101 - Yet another Dating thread

Well, I won't start another one...at least here. There's too many unstable people who have obviously had alot of bad dating experiences, leading them to get all excited at simple posts.....

*waits to see the response to that one....people going up to a clock tower with a rifle, perhaps after all the swear words are said? *

Re: Dating 101 - Yet another Dating thread

"unstable people"? Just like the "club kids who drink all night"?

Ever think you and your asstastic pity party might be the problem, Neil, and not the rest of the world? I swear, I've never seen anyone with such an obvious inferiority complex AND such a smug attitude, all at the same time.
