So Jeff, how come we haven't worked out our problems, yet. You and Kagy did. Kagy and RocketmanTex did. Crisco and rimbaud seem alright. DoD is civil with ZRB. I'm missing out on this intimacy, dammit! Maybe we can share passwords or something, and I can learn what is like being you for awhile. And you can rename name me so I stop hiding behind this friendly salutatory moniker that isn't really me, but simply lends me a false sense of dealing with my Napolean pugnaciousness.
I am marrying a woman I met on an internet mailing list. Though there are obvious horror stories, the web is not a bad place to find someone to date, at the very least. We have been together nearly three years. I think the fact that we shared common interests (music, being history majors, illicit drug use ; )has helped. As for general dating advice: be funny, don't kiss their ass (in the obsequious sense), listen and kiss well. -Elvis, who thinks you are probably money and don't even know it ------------------
First of all, enjoy the silence. Use this time to do the things you like to do. A girlfriend can often strip you from the ability to do this. Not only will you be having fun, but saving money just the same. Eventually, you'll meet someone doing whtever it is you like to do. Then you have the best of all possible worlds until you fall in love. Then the work begins. ------------------ humble, but hungry.
Go places, other than bars, to meet people. Great place for me is to take my dog tot he park. Join some type of group (or teams) where you can meet someone with at least similar interests. It definetely is much tougher once you get out of school. Just do things you enjoy doing that get you outide your home or apartment. I am very leery of blind dates. There were a couple good stories in this thread, but often they don't work. Best advice I can give on this instead of a date, set up a group thing (and hopefully not have your friends tell the girl what they are trying to do). It let's the two of you meet without the pressure of a date. If you two hit it off the ask her out. If not it's no big deal.
Are you living in Dallas too? The funny thing about that whole ordeal is the guys here in Dallas, no matter how much they make, front like they make millions because they want to impress these women. Everyone's a 35k millionaire! WOO HOO! ------------------ My doctor says I am bipolar. I am going to get a second opinion. I have never had intimate desires for polar bears.

Rocket River MOST IMPORTANT - never date a woman who does not have any friends ------------------

sirhangover: You're single, aren't you? ------------------ I always thought "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm discovered". Now I think "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm found out".
Congrats Rocket River on capitalizing on the ability to use the entire width of the screen, and thank you, from all of us here at the CC.net BBS. Re: the topic at hand, I don't know, I'm still in college. ------------------ You can't stick a porcupine in a barn, light it on fire, and expect to get licorice.
