Well i see thing are a bi more energetic around here. so i would join this little discussion a little more.
Recently i am trying to get a date online but i have little number of visitors or replies but there is one girl who wrote back and said she is not online too much so i suggested that we can text or phone each other. she said okay, and then i left my number to her. now i am waiting 4 her answer....she looks like a decent girl....her looks are above average, i'd say 8 out of 10. so i am looking forward to it. and there is another girl who left me her phone number as an answer to my mail. I really do not know what to think but my first impression was that she is desperate......you don't give out your number to a perfect stranger after a line he wrote......so i am hesitating on that one and i think for a good reason..... About muscles: in 10th and 11th grade i did some physical exercise at home and from experience i tell that your strength dramatically increases from it even if it is not a visible change... at least i did not have any visible change, but my strength increased so i could lift a 50 kg sack of cement easily and i had like 65 kilos at that time...visible muscle mass increase came at the age of 20 when i gained in a year almost 20 kg and i did not change my lifestyle...now i am not exercising but i plan to take up some kind of an exercise or else during winter i will gain additional weight as fat. when i gained strength i felt satisfied with myself so i would recommend it to you, i felt that i could overcome anything knowing i am not that weak nerd anymore.... and it proved useful cause at that time a bully was really pissing me off and i don't know how i grabbed him by his shirt and threw him away like 2 meters. the whole class was shocked when they saw it.... even i did not believe myself.....but maybe i caught him by surprise that is why i managed to throw him. (Note: even though i did that i never fought) . so gaining some strength is beneficial, it gives you a small boost......instead of saying "i am too weak to do it" you will say "i will try"

Csuree,
I never tried online dating, but why would leaving her number be considered desparate when you are leaving your number to somebody yourself? Her thought process probably is that if you answer her number it would be a yes, but if you don't then she'll have to assume it is a no. Besides there is always a risk when meeting perfect strangers, people you think you know, and even family. AS for Muscles: I'm currently working out to get in decent shape so I can start activities I abandoned for studying my science courses. It's going to be greating joining fun runs and hiking once I tone up a bit. If women gave me that second glance or even a stare that's always a nice bonus too Ultimately, I'm in a quest to find somebody that will improve myself overall. I think once your comfortable with yourself as a person and you're fine being single then you're ready to be in a relationship.

Most of these functions however, are strictly meant between Greek Life only. If anything, if you know anyone who's a member, you should be fine for a regular weekend party. The formal functions however, are a bit more tedious to enter. We pride ourselves in privacy. Every Fraternity is different, and so are it's members - but the general bylaws each house holds are similar. Personally if your looking to meet new people and are 21, check out your towns Night Life. |

SPARTAN 119: For activities, why not take her (when you find her) to a play or ballet, a concert, or an art exhibit? Are you really only interested in getting drunk? That could be a problem in and of itself in finding women, just saying.

I eventually found that girl at a local anime con - she was enthusiastic that someone recognized her costume, I offered to send her my photos of her (I'm a huge cosplay photography freak) and then I sent her an invitation to an anime club event with the photos. I think the connection we had as two fans of a show not a lot of people know (EF: A Tale of Memories) is part of why she accepted, as it turns out she was actually really shy and her enthusiasm that someone recognized her costume was a "spur of the moment" thing. That, and I tried to help her find the one other EF cosplay I knew was attending the con (which I failed at). I realize that my success here was very dependent on the fact I met the right person, but I hope it gives you an idea what can ground a relationship between two anime fans who were basically strangers. (P.S. ~600 of my ~1500 photos from my last con are of her in costume.)

1) She admitted she dated me because she liked how I looked, thought I was a bad boy, and I used to have lots of muscles 2) I dated her cause I thought she was an articulate girl with lots of potential .. and I happened to be single and felt like dating again .. = And now we're engaged after dating for 7.5 years! I just noticed you were from Vancouver, my hometown, hope the weather is treating you well! I tend to find that people from Vancouver have less than 3 degrees of separation between each other |

It doesn't help at all that I use a crappy digi-cam from back when developers had no idea what they were doing.

So I was at a night club last night for the first time in a while. Additionally, I was with 3 other guys at a so called "guys night out" type thing.. We get line bypassed into the club, but for once none of us are single .. so there's no one to wing man or to help hook up, so we end up just mulling about.. Anyways, certain things happen, and it made me think --
One of my friends is a very "nouveau riche"-style wealthy guy. Internet entrepreneur. He's also a serial philanderer. He's also currently engaged and has started having cold feet as he drafts a pre-nup with his lawyers. He has a lot to lose and very little impulse control. So, questions: What are people's thoughts regarding 1) infidelity and 2) prenuptial agreements? |

Most of the time I see others dating I just see it going badly. My brother's (now former) friend got married to his girlfriend after accidentally getting her pregnant. The baby's since been born, but unfortunately the two of them split; not over the child, but because she was treating the marriage not as a lifetime commitment, but... well, closest thing I can think of, she was treating it like it was a roommate agreement or something. It's a shame, really.

It'll become less and less of a big deal as you both get older (gaps narrow with time, just do the math) and if you respond appropriately when she brings it up. I need to reminds myself of this from time to time, but sometimes people just want to hear comforting words. Oh, and - "You love her and everything about her" |

"I love you, and everything that makes you, you. That includes your life and experiences before you met me .. heck, that's why I fell for you in the first place, and that won't ever change." -- Would probably help a bit FYI, I also wasn't joking about the math, example: 13 x 18 = ew! gross! criminal! 17 x 22 = still dating a minor! crime! 23 x 28 = hm, that's a bit of a gap? 33 x 38 = huh, what are we talking about again? |

Yea, what willx said. Indifference with positive connotations, would be my line. Out of curiosity, how much older? My ex had about 8+ on me, though she never had that problem.
Speaking of which, I think I'm starting to come to terms with that part *cough*
