    Let me turn it around on you Rav. Everything else being equal, whyshouldn"tanother man"s child be a potential point against a woman from the perspective of a desirable male? I mean shit, I have a good friend who found out he had a son with a one night stand a few years back, when the kid was...

    heh, that"s like an eternity. Although I suppose that can be tempered by how often you see each other. I wouldn"t say I have rules or even guidelines, but in the past 5 years (I"m 30 now) I haven"t waited past 3 dates except for with one girl. But I think it was the 4th with her. And that"s...

    I"d say for most of them that yes, it"s definitely not a confidence builder in their own minds, regardless of the circumstances.

    I think it"s completely dependent on their circumstances. There"s a big difference between a stripper who has 3 kids with 3 different dudes, and a lawyer in her 30"s whose husband was hit by a bus leaving her with a 5 year old to raise. For where I"m at in my life though, dating a woman with...

    As someone who has seen the Facebook messages he sent in a drunken haze the next day, I can verify that yes it is possible to be drunk enough to type like Camerous. High five bro!

    Given the genetic and behavioral defects of those involved, I would say this definitely belongs in the section that starts with "Retard".

    I don"t necessarily disagree with anything in that spoilered list, but I think we can all agree that the way it was written is the height of gayness.

    Yeah I"m cynical, but the cynicism in this particular case is well supported by this woman"s past. Two previously failed marriages, working on a third, substance abuser, and a financial basketcase. Yes, none of us other than Cam know about what I"m sure are her many positives, and maybe she...

    I know it"s tempting. Most men are fixers. We want to fix things when they go wrong. But in this case, all you"re likely to do is break yourself in the process. She"s obviously got deep rooted issues, past the addiction problems. You will never be able to have an uncomplicated, harmonious...

    Well actually, if he can gather information from it and show she"s been potentially seeing someone else while still in the marriage, he could well use it against her. Not the other way around. Sucks Cam, I can"t imagine how hard it is to go through your daily routine right now.

    lol, well that was certainly short lived! She came over last Thursday and we made dinner. She really liked the flowers, as well. However after dinner we got to talking about things, and she was all freaked out about being in a "serious" relationship because of her travel intentions in the...

    There"s a big difference between a bouquet that says "I like you and have fun hanging out with you, here"s some flowers to show my appreciation" and a bouquet that says "I"m madly in love with you, here"s some flowers to show my adulation." As far as I understand it, roses definitely fall on the...

    It"s been included in various proposals and presentations about the arena. Corporate stalls could be used since the games take place outside of general business hours, it would just be up to the corporations or their garage owners to come up with a system that works for everyone. I doubt that...

    Apparently you can"t get those in a bouquet, you have to buy an actual potted plant. Just told the florist to throw something together, I don"t know what other flowers or fragrances she likes so fuck it, that"ll have to do. And yes I realize that flowers are a waste of money, but I"ve never...

    There are something like 20,000 underground or surface parking stalls already existing within a kilometer of the arena, as well as 3-5 LRT stations within 500m once the new lines are built. Along with virtually every major road route in to and out of downtown. Conceptual drawings of what the...

    What"s a decent bouquet worth anyways? $50-75 about right? I know she likes hibiscus flowers, whatever the fuck those are other than a target on her right kidney.

    So just wondering if I committed a big V-day faux pas. Jen and I had "the talk" last week and we"re a couple. She said she"d been wondering why I hadn"t brought it up before her trip, and that in her experience she generally waited for the guy to bring it up. One or two other girls have said...

    Again, that"s kind of the point of living in a dense, urban environment. Your comment about "driving 5 minutes to Safeway" is in itself kind of telling: there"s 2 grocery stores within a 5 minutewalkof my place with a third opening soon, along with corner stores etc. And that"s kind of the...

    They"ve "found" about 75% of the money actually, whether from Katz, community revitalization levy, seat taxes/transfer fees, and so on. Basically there"s a 100 million dollar gap that will likely be filled by the provincial and federal government in one way or another, likely calling it...

    With such a well designed, high tech website I would never have imagined something of this nature would have happened. edit: lol, went to see and my password had "expired", but I can"t get through the new process because it won"t accept my old expired one as the old password. Good times.

    Oh I wasn"t offended or put off or anything. It"s flattering for sure, if only because the editors picked my profile. The profile itself was most definitely written by a woman, and one that knows me reasonably well. They got my eye color and height slightly wrong, but otherwise it was fairly...

    Maybe he"s a late bloomer, but I was well in to drinking, drugs, and hiding stuff from my parents by the time I was 13 or 14. Basically grade 8. It"s likely he thinks he"s covering his tracks but just not good at it yet. Or maybe he"s just not too bright, I dunno! Thing to keep in mind is...

    Not entirely, but I do think that if there"s a level of trust between parent and kid, the kid is more likely to ask for help if shit"s going sideways and/or will hide less from the parents. My parents were pretty open about things and so I didn"t feel the need to hide much from them, they knew...

    So I got a phone call on my cell yesterday right in the middle of tendering a project. The girl said she was with the local newspaper and I immediately cut her off and said I couldn"t take her call and hung up because I was in panic mode and figured it was likely just a telemarketer. Same chick...

    Again, if the guy hasn"t made a move for months or the girl has been rebuffing them, then what exactly is he "moving in" on? We just had several pages of discussion about how shitty it is to be friend zoned and Malkav if anything is saving a bro from it, in a way. Go back and read the OP if...

    So who"s the low character asshole in your opinion? The guy who apparently can"t even get with the girl to save his life and who will make a big deal of his friend legitimately beating him to the punch, or the guy who gives his friend an opportunity to make a move before he does himself? In...

    "Girl decides" is the motto my group of guys rolls with. No point coming to some sort of agreement between two dudes if she"s interested in the one who agreed to back off.

    Through no fault of my own over the holidays, I was left with a Package.

His whole living room was a huge display...

    I dunno, maybe it"s because I"ve never allowed myself to get friend zoned (not through any conscious decision, I"m just not the kind of guy that girls want to be friends with quite honestly, I am about as emotionally unsupportive as an actual human being can be), but I think some of you guys are...

    Yeah, I don"t know if I"d add the "way", but it seemed like that to me as well. That said it"s typically been 50/50 about picking when to hang out, if not more on her side. For example the second Tuesday we hung out, she texted me during the day asking if we could move it to Wednesday...
