The dating game has become something that has surpassed my methods. Nowadays, you have to have facebook, instragram, snapchat, etc and hunt the person down on those platforms and send dumb messages back & forth for weeks, if not months before even considering hanging out in person.  I remember when that used to be called stalking.  Now it's the norm.  And face to face interaction or introducing yourself/asking out in person is considered "creepy."  Do things the old-fashioned way and you get laughed at to your face. What the fuck?

Thank God I’m out of the dating game. This sounds awful. 

This thread is only cementing my beliefs that I will never again be in the dating game. Potentially romantic relationships should be a bit more 'sacred' than a text - and I don't think that someone is a flower carrying grandpa because they believe in face to face communications. Mcgruff is younger than me and I'm a contemporary of the band - are they flower carrying grandpas? If so - that's what I would prefer. 

Are we going to start calling people old if they think that speaking to people or using their actual identifying information to communicate is a good thing? I'm not gonna start snapchatting people, I'd feel ridiculous doing so, and if that means I never have a date again, well I can buy myself flowers and my son will have children some day, in the future. Many years in the future. I guess if we could have phone sex back in the day, people could have snapchat sex nowadays. I remember sex, I think.    ::get_outta_here:

If you ask for advice - please be nice to the people who are giving it to you. Especially the women, even if we are decrepit phone number, face to face flower  lovers. :how_interesting:

With your rules an app like Tinder would never work, because you communicate through the means of written text to eachother. before deciding to meat up.

And by your rules blinddating would never work, because the date is set up without this face to face communication that is vital.

There is not anything more sacred in going to someones front door and ask their father if one could take their daughter to the movies and be home by 11, compared to asking someone you know well by the means of a message on messanger if she would like to go on a date on halloween.

And I don't know if you missed this - but the date would still be face to face communication, just like it has been hanging out with her as a friend - we will not talk to eachother through World of Warcraft. 

And so, teens today don't sit and talk on the phone - instead they send eachother pictures and videos through out the day on snapchat. Which means they have more communications with eachother than you guys did in the 1900s with your telegrams. A picture says more than a thousand telegrams sent by t he place next to the saloon.  

There is nothing weird with talking to someone using text. And there is nothing wrong with asking out someone using text.

Whether intentional or not, your use of meat when referencing Tinder is hilarious.

Then you don't need us. I need to go sign up for meals by wheels and have my sciatica checked out now so have a good one. 

I needed the poll result. Because decided that would decide what I'd do. 

And whatever the result would have been, it would have still been @mcgruff10 fault.

Back to the original topic: has she responded?

No. So, not head over heels crazy about the idea --  haha. 

A polite no I guess will come, or nothing at all.

But whatever I guess. Boo! Now Im off work!

At least you know. Now on to the next!

Still worth celebrating friday by stealing beer from the "CEO fridge" 

You're not drinking and sending Agnes some sort of meme/text thingy from your world wide web machine there, are you??

Hmm, looks like PJ on the left screen and a possible ransom note draft on the right...don't do it! That's not what Ed meant with the lyrics to All Or None.

  :rofl:

Ha!  Rock on, nancy :rock_on:

In all seriousness, flowers go along way.  What woman doesn't love flowers? (i'm sure i am about to hear an earful lol)

BIG waste of money in my opinion, but sometimes ya just gotta buy the damn things to brighten up her day.

If I really wanted to hang out with another married woman, I’d tell my wife to come along and have the woman’s husband come too. We love hanging with other couples and do it all the time. It’s a blast. Sometimes I’ll even spend more time chatting it up with the woman or women that aren’t my wife, and that’s totaly cool. The one on one thing just seems unnecessary. 

100000000000% agree. 

Yes. This.

We do that too. I don't know what unnecessary means when you'rw talking about hanging with a friend. Sometimes their spouse wants to come, and sometimes they're busy. Just like with all normal married people. We don't need a scheme for how to appropriately be friends, lol.
