Really? Maybe there"s a big age difference between us but I"ve dated a few girls for 12+ months and the thought that ring-buying-time was coming up never once crossed my mind. I might be alone on this but I would ideally date someone for like 2 years before worrying about marriage.

If Eomer walked away from every bad idea this thread would be boring as shit.

Fortunately my name is not Robin. I think mine"s actually a lot more dual-use than any of the ones you mentioned.

My girlfriend and I have the same name. It"s actually not as weird as I thought it would be.

I think a better question to ask is why do you have a myspace profile?

This is why spying on your partner is pretty much guaranteed lose-lose. On one hand even if you don"t find anything it still means you don"t trust your bf/gf (I would never check my girlfriend"s e-mail "just out of curiosity"), and on the other hand if you do find something that means your...

I guess what I meant is the only reason to delay is if the right opportunity just doesn"t seem to come up on the first date. It doesn"t happen often but I"ve definitely had 1 or 2 dates where I liked the girl but it would have felt forced if I had tried to kiss her.

I think you can get away with not kissing on the first date as long as you have some sort of playful physical contact during the actual date. I like to think that the 2nd date is the cut-off for kissing, sometimes the right opportunity just doesn"t come up the first time around. If you haven"t...

I don"t think it really has anything to do with you being lazy, even though that may be the case, I don"t know all the details. It sounds like you just have no motivation to change because you are in a relationship with someone that you don"t want to be with. From what you"ve posted (met her...

like this?

I"m interested in all of the girls I date, obviously. If I wasn"t I wouldn"t be asking them out multiple times. Unless you"re like a freshman in high school or something though, there is no way you could possibly tell after 1 or 2 dates who you want to be in a long term relationship with. For me...

Maybe it changes based on location but it"s definitely not that way in Manhattan.

Err, I"m kind of with Tarrant on this. I don"t see the problem with dating multiple people rather than fixating on one person when you aren"t in a committed relationship. And no, I wouldn"t/don"t have any problem with these girls going on dates/whatever with other guys. Unless you"re actually...

+1 I"m "dating" 3 or 4 people right now but I do genuinely want a serious relationship. I just don"t know which girl I want one with.

Aside from work or whatever, how do these women know everything about both of your guys schedules? Do they drive by your house or apartment to see if your car is there or something? I rarely plan or know where I"ll be tomorrow night, let alone in a few days or on the weekend.

It"s not even that I particularly disagree with you, but this thread is a colossal train wreck and you"re taking it a little too seriously.

That sucks... ever since I moved to Manhattan I can"t believe how ridiculously easy it is to pick up women here. I"ve only been here ~2 months now and I"ve been averaging 2 dates/week or so, and that doesn"t even include women that I meet when we"re out on the weekends at shows or whatever.

How does that imply that they went to school together? Surely there"s multiple schools in a city of a million +.

Reading what you"ve posted throughout this thread Eomer, honestly I think maybe you should just stop trying so hard to meet someone. You"d be surprised how much easier it is to meet women when you aren"t constantly worrying about it and prowling restaurants or your brother"s wedding. On top...

Ehhhh, honestly dude my advice is to just try and meet someone new. I know you said you guys "mutually" broke up but I once made the mistake of dating one of my exes a second time and it was a disaster. There"s too many women out there to be worrying about someone you"ve already broken up with once.

I have absolutely no knowledge of online dating but the general consensus I think seems to be send out as many messages as possible and never fixate on one person. Basically, if a conversation seems to be going nowhere start a new one. Or if this analogy works better, DIVERSIFY YOUR BONDS...

This thread used to be kind of entertaining and now it"s just annoying. I"m trying not to side with anyone, and if you and your wife are happy that"s great, but if you seriously think getting married at 19 years old somehow makes you a guru on dating/relationships then you are incredibly...

This is probably the most accurate statement in this entire thread.

You talk to your mom about your dating life? That"s definitely a headache I don"t need, hah.

I don"t claim to know very much about what makes a good online dating profile, so I won"t really comment on that aspect. The one thing about your profile that did catch my eye however, is that every single section/paragraph starts with "I"m", except for one that starts with "I". I"m probably...

I looked at the PoF site once and wanted to gouge my eyes out. I understand it"s a simple dating site and not the pinnacle of web design, but seriously it looks and functions like a low-rent porn website made in the mid-90s. Do that many people really use it?

Psychiatrists can"t force you to take medicine. If that"s the only solution that they are offering you then just decline and walk away. Regardless, if that"s your concern you could just see a psychologist as opposed to a psychiatrist and not have to worry about them trying to prescribe you...

I"m so confused with all the contradictions in this post. First you say they [the changes] <i>are</i> temporary and are things you"re doing to get your ex back. Then in the second paragraph you say you are confident you can keep the changes you made and they weren"t changes you made for her...

Phase 1. ) Hook up with her mom. Phase 2. ) ??? Phase 3. ) Profit.

Make the encounter as short as possible? Have all the things she left collected and near the door so you can just give them to her and the whole ordeal should last less than a few minutes. The longer it takes, the more time you have to say or do something stupid that you"ll regret.

1. Yes I believe people can, but I think at least 95% of people who get married are not with that person and they have just tricked their minds into thinking they are because they don"t want to be single forever. 2. I do genuinely want to find someone to be with for the rest of my life, but...

Well, honestly I think I kind of dropped the ball 2 days ago when I was actually getting my hair cut. Anyways, yesterday I just walked in to the front desk, asked if she was working, and the desk clerk asked for my name and said she would go get her. She came over and was obviously busy & with a...

So I went back to the salon today and asked if she was working, she was with a client so we really couldn"t talk much or anything but she wrote her full name & # down on a scrap of paper for me and said she would like to get drinks sometime. Will keep you guys updated. By the way, when do I...

The other option I guess in my mind was to just not worry about it, and move to NYC in a few weeks where there are plenty of attractive girls every 10 feet.

I can"t believe I"m actually posting in this thread for advice, but, oh well. Here"s the deal / dilemma. Today I went to the salon to get my hair cut but I had a really short notice appointment so they gave me a different stylist than the girl I typically get. Without going into detail, the...

I really don"t think this has anything to do with the reason things didn"t work out with Chuck or Anne. Maybe I"m just being too rational like you but I can"t imagine someone being turned off or confounded (in a bad way) by success, even if it wasn"t their initial impression of you. I think...

Eh, I would say that"s debatable. Don"t get me wrong I love nice cars but I don"t think cost always equals better. When I was in high school we bought a Lexus LX470 which was about a $65k+ car, and that thing was a piece of crap as far as I"m concerned. I hated driving it and I honestly think my...

Not trying to de-rail this thread or offend you, but you honestly think it"s fun to brag about your possessions on an internet message board? The fact that it"s anonymous is the weird part to me. Everyone that knows me personally in real life has a pretty good idea of my lifestyle, so I don"t...

I would say there"s a 99.7% chance you"d end up with $500 less in your bank account from the plane fare, & a much more jaded outlook on life.

Wait wait wait wait wait. There is a forum where people plan meet ups to show off their CHEVY COBALTS? ... What the fuck.
