LOL A few years ago I dated a guy who was my height, but at time I was into wearing short skirts and tall boots so I was ALWAYS a lot taller than him. It felt awkward when we would go places together, but oh well. Tugging at my shirt sleeve would be a bit much though!

The last date I went on the guy straight out told me that he didn’t like black people. (He wasn’t that nice in putting it though) He than asked me if that was a deal breaker. Yep the check came very shortly after that.

Wow! That is horrible!

You are in Sactown too?

I think you hit the nail on the head comparing dating to job interviews. I'm not a fan of dating... or job interviews.

I agree that it is kind of like a job interview...and I handle myself pretty well in interviews...but dating, not so much...I tend to be quiet and shy when I'm nervous...or overcompensate by talking way too much. :( No wonder I'm single.

I actually went on a date once and the guy was just like "you're not interested in me, are you?" and I was like, "no not really." and we just ended it there.

If only it could always be that simple. Wouldn't that make life alot easier?

oh...i do the same thing! i tend to ramble a lot when i get nervous...want to avoid awkward silences. i'm sure guys think i'm a bit strange?! i haven't been on a "date" in six months....though i'm fine with that. i'd rather avoid all of the bs that goes along with dating. just be upfront with your intentions, and spare misleading people. makes things easier!

is there a way to get a boyfriend without dating? I was thinking this morning that I wouldn't mind a boyfriend at the moment, but dating blah.

Nah not really... unless you want a husband in which case you could become a muslim and you'll have a husband in no time

I think dating is kinda fun. I just don't usually do the "standard date" like going out to dinner. I like to go out for drinks. That way if you know you really are not compatable right off the bat you can just finish your drink and bid the person a good night. With dinner you have to get through the entire meal.....and that is UNCOMFORTABLE.

Dinners at nice restaurants should come later in the relationship anyway. (Sorry if this seems cheap but it's just how I feel)

Nope, not cheap but it makes sense... total sense. 'Dating' doesn't really happen like that over here. Ya usually just arrange to go for drinks and maybe something to eat LATER if it went well and you're both completely hammered . Dinner is WAY too much pressure. At least if your drink date isn't going well, you can make excuses after 1 or 2 or try and socialise 'accidentally' or start including the barman in your conversation or something. If you know from the beginning at dinner that it's not going well, you're stuck with him for maybe an hour and a half :eek:
