On a first date, who pays?

My best friend somehow always ends up paying for herself. She is broke (a poor Walmart employee saving up for college). She's had to end several relationships b/c they guy kept taking her to restaurants %26amp; she finally couldn't afford it anymore.





How did it become common for the woman to pay? I have asked all my guy friends %26amp; they all think if a guy never pays for the girl, you are just two friends hanging out %26amp; it isn't a date. I know I'd feel quite comfortable explaining that I'd rather go out Tues b/c I like to have my date nights on Fri/Sat. I'd also discuss w/ a guy friend restaurant choices %26amp; suggesting much cheaper alternatives.





Women's lib people say you should offer to split it. Being from the south, the guys would blow you off %26amp; that would be it. They would pay. But on a first date, if the guy doesn't pay--is it a date? B/c for years that was my way of determining if he was into me. A casual wanna grab food? He just hungry, I paid for mine. A date he paid. Thoughts anyone?

On a first date, who pays?
I think any guy who doesn't at least offer to pay is a pig, and doesn't deserve your friend anyway.

My husband was raised in Lubbock, TX and when we went on our first date, he asked me out for drinks. We met at a nice lounge and I was a bit early. He ended up being 20 minutes late and i'll never let him forget it. lol. Anyway, since i was already there I ordered a glass of wine and gave my credit card to open a tab. When he arrived, I told him I had a tab at the bar and we went to go sit down. He went to the bar and opened a tab under his own name and asked them to close mine out. Even when I insisted he put a drink on my tab, he refused. He bought dinner every time we went out and never let me pay for anything, although of course I offered.


Since then, he has explained something to me. He can always get a feel for a girl's intentions. If the girl has honest intentions and seems truly interested in him, he will always pay because that's how he was raised. If he thinks she is full of it, like if a girl at a bar says flirtatiously, "Will you buy me a drink?" or "I don't have a drink..." he won't buy one for her.
Reply:I THINK WHOEVER ASKED THE OTHER PERSON OUT SHOULD PAY
Reply:i dont think


this question should be asked who pays .


usually it is paid by boy but if girl is richer then him then no problem if she pays .second is mutual understanding
Reply:Unless the woman specifies she'd like to treat her man to a meal....I kinda like the idea of the man paying. I'm married and from Kansas. My guy always paid...in the old days! Ha!
Reply:way i saw it first DATE who ever asked paid (so if the girl asked she should be prepared to cover the whole cost). After that i don't think its right to expect either person to pay the full bill (birthdays, anniversaries and extra special dates then guy (unless its his b-day) should pay), the girl should offer to pay for hers and know that she may have to. but as a southern girl you get use to the guys turning down the women's offer to pay. Sigh i miss those southern values.





Also tell your friend if she really likes the guys then she needs to tell them that she can't afford to pay if they go out a lot and to find cheaper/free things to enjoy together.
Reply:Ok here's my philosophy. Anyone can pay for a date. Now on the first date I believe it should be the person that did the asking. On the second date either. When and if the two become an item at that point I think a nice system of switching off works well, one pays one week, the other the following; that also works great if they get paid on opposite weeks from each other.





Only after they are engaged do I think actual splitting should occur.
Reply:the man should always pay. I'm from Arkansas BTW.
Reply:On a first date, it is acceptable for each person to pay for their own meal, but most guys want to "rack up a few points" by paying for the meal. AFter the first date, the couple can take turns paying. It is my opinion, however, that the guy should pay for meals.
Reply:If the guy asked you out then he pays.
Reply:it all dpends on were you go but call me old school first date man pays but if she ask me she pays
Reply:yeah ithought that the guy had to paid too. i think that the guy like should always pay, because thats the nce thing to do. if she is broke, then no she shouldn't be paying for herself %26amp;%26amp; she should have ended a relationship if the guy never paid for anything. on the first date though, i think that that it is nice to split the cost though, because it is the FIRST date, but it should never happen like that again. but she honestly shouldn't even date if she has no money, because you can't really do anything without money. she should like take out a loan and use hat, and defer all her payments until after she graduates, and then overtime set aside money, while using some for herself. and walmart isn't the best job, she should look somewhere else and try to find a place. good luck with everything!

Reply:yea i pay for all dates i go to. I work hard and save up for that. If a guy makes the girl pay, well thats messed up! its ok that the girl offers to pay PART of the charge but not ALL of it.


The guy who wont pay dosen't deserve a girlfriend (or fiancee or wife ext.)
Reply:Depends...who is the rich one or who has more love to show...but does love need money to grow?
Reply:The guy pays, if he's any kind of gentleman.
Reply:I've NEVER paid for myself on a date! If a guy asked me to 'grab a bite', then when the bill came, I just sat there while he paid up. He asked me! Now if I had ever asked a guy to go 'grab a bite', then I'd pay.
Reply:Don't be shortchanged. The man pays. The man pays for the pleasure of her company.
Reply:i am old school and the guy should always pay on the first date but i did have a few girls that wanted to split the bill or even pay their own way on occassion and i always told them no you can split the bill with me another time if you like
Reply:i would for all of them...cause that's how i am
Reply:well i live in the windy city chicogo and for us first date it depends where if its like the movies the guy is soupposed to pay for her and her food but if its just out to like a restruant then they should always offer to pay half and they guy is always expose to pay half or what he ate if he ate a 2 doller sandwich and she ate a 15 doller meal then the guy is always expose to pay for half unless he buys the 15 doller meal and she buys the 2 then he pays for it all but say the both orderd a 15 doller meal then they split it confusing much but after the first date and if they end up going out then the guy ALWAYS PAYS no matter what
Reply:Unless it is discussed before the date, Dont even take a chance on wondering if hell ever pay for you. Make it understood he pays. Then you wont have the problem when the check comes.
Reply:im old fashion, if the guy wont pay hes not worth anything dump him, im from ar
Reply:The person who asks the other out should pay.
Reply:Im a guy and always pay for the meal.





Exceptions are only when my girlfriend insists on paying half.





I can't believe where you are the lady pays!





I think it would be frowned upon in Britain.
Reply:I grew up in the northern panhandle of WV, 2 miles from Ohio, less than 20 miles from Pennsylvania, so the culture where I grew up was much more like OH and PA than the foothills of WV.





Anyway, I always believed and was taught that whoever asked for the date was the one who payed... For instance if the girl initiated the date, then she payed for both parties. If the guy asked the girl out, then he payed.





I personally was not a girl who was comfortable asking guys out and I did generally offer to pay, at least occasionally, and ever 3 or 4 dates I would always plan a date on my own and make sure everything was payed for. Being traditional doesn't mean you have to be a user.





But in your friend's situation, maybe these guys see her in a plantonic way, or maybe she is just too insistant on paying for herself. I would not continue to date someone who constantly went dutch.
Reply:i am from the south and the guy should always pay. hell even when i took just a friend out that is a girl i still pay, but that is why they call us southern gentlemen. Back in college when we would have keg parties, we never even charged girls for cups it was just understood that girls drink for free and some of the girls told me that it was not like that in the north which just blew me away
Reply:the man no matter whos dating and no matter whos richer. DUH!





Im from California.
Reply:The guy is always to pay no matter what is going on unless his credit is over limit or declined that is where the woman pays. or if he dont have enough cash on him.





Then you when it is to lost friends of the same sex you either split the tab or say i will get bill if you get tip or the person who is the their home town and other person is visiting for a fews days or so.
Reply:I, too, am from the South and I was raised if the boy then men wanted you to pay that he does not repect you He will think your easy (in that way) and that he will get the idea that that this is going to be a forerer thing and she will be the mist

Third date rule…for sex part 2? guys opinion?

Third date rule…Part 2


Okay on the third date rule to wait for sex. I wasn’t getting the answers I wanted.


Here is some facts:


The guy is my Twin (brothers) best friend and has been for years.


He is nice and complements me and treats me nicely complete gentleman, someone my twin and best friend likes and trust.


Even though we’ll be going on date # 3 I have been talking to him and getting to know him for over a month.


I am emotionally available. I am attracted to him.


My worry is even though I have gotten to know him is sex too early by the third date, not that I am fallowing a rule-guide here. I feel ready, but from a guys point of view what would that say about the girl. I am worried about getting burned. Thinking I’m something I am not, would that seem too long or too short for a guy wanting a relationship.


This is someone my twin set me up with, so i know he is an over all good guy, but what woulda guy think about that? Too early? I wanted a guys opinion.

Third date rule…for sex part 2? guys opinion?
I would wait. I know you two have been talking for a month, but if you want your relationship to be based off more than sex just wait a little longer. The last thing I want is for you to get burned. I know you both probably want to do, but trust me, a guy's view of a girl changes dramatically after sex. Guys are all about the thrill of the hunt and once he has sex with you, the hunt is over. If you wait and continue to build your relationship, you'll see a couple things.


1. If he is still interested in you for you and not for what you can offer sexually.





2. When a guy invests more time into the girl he is going to have sex with, he stops seeing them as a thing to pleasure him, but instead he sees them as a person with emotions. At this point he won't burn you after sex.





3. The sex you will eventually have will be so much better, because it is not based only on lust and physical sensations, but something deeper something more. Like they say, the good things come to those who wait.
Reply:Loser...wait till 101th date then. when ur 50yrs old.
Reply:hhmm no nothing is wrong with going bout it to early, trust me no guy will complain about it.. anyways dont tell him in a slutty way, just nicely..GOOD LUCK!!
Reply:if you think it is right, do it.


any guy is going to tell you to do it.


you have to think for yourself.


i think you should have done it 1 or 2 dates ago.
Reply:Jules,





The woman is in control of this situation. If your not ready, your not ready...but ya gotta talk about it. If he only is dating you for sex, you'll know, but if he's into you, he'll wait till your ready......just don't hold out forever.....eventually he'll think sumtins not right
Reply:He'll Go For It...........
Reply:if you feel you are ready wait abit longer and if he tries it on you, you know he is ready or you could wait and wait and wait and then try it on him because then if he turns you down you can say well we have been together for ageeeessssssss what is wrong with you lol
Reply:If you carry yourself with respect and dignity and you feel like he respects you, sex will not change that. Its important to know that he respects u first
Reply:if u really care bout him go for it. but only if he wants to too. if he feels its to soon the just wait but if he feels the same way the go for it. i mean every person is different so this "rules" dont work on all the guys.
Reply:If you're ready, and he's ready, and you feel he's not just out for that one thing, why not?
Reply:It is wholy your call on this. We guys want sex as soon as possible. Like the first date. But you know your heart and your soul. Dont feel pressure to do something you might regret. Wait another month or two. It wont hurt to wait. Good Luck
Reply:I'm sure he already knows that you are a filthy little trollop, so offering him sex will not surprise him.





Hope this helps.


Does the conceiving date determin the due date?

Me and my husband are planning on a baby, Our son's birthday is in September, so he doesn't want the baby to also be born in september. So I was wondering if the due date has to do with the date I conceived or if it the due date is based on the date after my period ends that the new ummm blood to form a baby forms? I know not too techniqual of a term I forgot what thats called

Does the conceiving date determin the due date?
You are pregnant since conception -after the egg is fertilized by a sperm and then implanted in the lining of the uterus, it develops into the placenta and embryo, and later into a fetus. Pregnancy usually lasts 40 weeks, beginning from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period.......


Your pregnancy is determined from the date of last menstral period, not date of conception. Each pregnancy, expectant mother, and unborn child is different.
Reply:Doctors count 40 days from your last period to get the due date. Conception can be 2-3 weeks after that. It's really the time of conception that determines when your baby will be born. (Babies are born early or late, too).





It sounds like you need to wait until February or later to get pregnant.
Reply:Doctors use the first day of your last period to determine your due date. What they do is count back three months from the start of your period and then add seven days and that is your due date. So, for example if your last period started on Nov. 13th your due date would be August 20th.
Reply:The 'due date' is calculated from the first day of your last period and is generally 40 weeks (depending on which country you are in). Please note that the due date is just an estimate and the baby will come when it's ready.





Goodluck
Reply:They base the due date on the day of the last period since most people do not know when they conceived.
Reply:Doctors calculate your due date based on the first day of your last period. The very first day you had bright red blood.





It might be adjusted later from ultrasounds.
Reply:I conceived the very beginning of January and my due-date was September 25th. (the first day of my last period was towards the end of December). Get pregnant any other month than January and you should be OK. lol Remember though, babies come early and late, so its best just to wait until the Spring if you want to have a baby in 2008.

Should I pay mortgage on "late charge date" or on "due date"?

My mortgage due date is 1st of the month, and late charge date is 15 days later. As long as I pay the mortgage on/before 15th of the month, there will be no late charge. However, I have the following questions:


1) If I pay mortgage on 15th instead of on 1st, will the payoff amount different 5 years later? In other words, is the payment applied on the actual date or a certain set date (e.g.15th), and how is the balance amount calculated?


2) If I pay mortgage on 15th instead of on 1st, will it affect my credit score? I know if I pay after 1st, it's late.


3) In property tax case, there is due date and there is delinquency date. It's best to pay on delinquency date rather than due date. But is the mortgage case similar? Maybe not.





Thanks a lot for your answer.

Should I pay mortgage on "late charge date" or on "due date"?
due date
Reply:The problem with leaving your payment until the 15th is that if there is any delay or screw up, it will show as a late payment. And yes, interest continues to accrue during the 15 days you wait to make the payment. If you can, set up an autopay with your mortgagor so that the payments are made on the first of every month without fail. Then just be sure the money is in the bank!! Good Luck!!
Reply:I've always paid my mortgage, so the payment will be there by the 15th of the month. It makes no difference if you pay it on the 1st or the 14th. If you pay it on the 1st, the mortgage company has 14 days to invest your money and make more. It's never affected my credit or credit score.
Reply:you got to much time on hand.


now for a real world consideration.


should you keep paying this game - you will lose and it will cost you. pay your bills when due and you will not shoot yourself in your (pick a part).


cause the banks win with your thinking, you lose.
Reply:Just pay your mortgage on the first. always pay your bills early.they have to be paid anyway. why wait till the last minute


and risk being late. i will be paying my Jan 1 due date on Dec 29 and the late date is Jan 15.


Pay your property tax early. for the same reason as noted above.


there is no benefit to holding your money and paying just in time.
Reply:Pay the mortage with a check on the 15th before it is due and date it the 1st when itis due. It other words the check isn't good until the 1st.

First date advice....?

I posted this last night but didnt get much of a response...





Girl I met through a friend at a party over Thanksgiving break, we hit it off real well, and she IM's me, calls etc... Goes to school about 2 hours away but I want to plan a date over Christmas break, and possibly hanging out... I know I may be jumping the gun, but she'll be home.. at her parents... Being a first date, should I go up to her front door, blah blah blah and meet the parents... or is that reserved for later dates when its more serious? I just feel like when/if we get more serious I'd meet the parents, not really first date... Any thoughts ladies? and perhaps guys have any advice

First date advice....?
ASk her if she'd like to meet up someplace or you should pick her up. Might make it easier on you.
Reply:" just feel like when/if we get more serious I'd meet the parents, not really first date"
Reply:I always meet her parents on the first date. I think that by going ahead and meeting them you're (in their eyes) letting them know that she's in a good hands. I usually just meet them because I want them to know me because they've met me, and not just guess at my personality based off of stories she may have told.





Now actually hanging out with her parents and spending "quality time" with them is something that goes on later, but yes, I'd at least introduce myself as a respectable young man first.
Reply:Talk with her. Ask her what she'd be interested in doing. Would she rather meet somewhere, or is she into the old-fashioned stuff?





I take it she has a mind of her own. Everybody's different.





I just suggested that a guy consider taking a girl to a ballgame on a first date, so obviously I'm no traditionalist.





Two heads are better than one-- I'm sure y'all will come up with something.





Good Luck!

Second date question help?

I am a little confused with this new dating situation I'm in right now.





I went on a date to a comedy club and Starbucks with a woman. We hugged goodbye as she went into a cab.





The next morning, I text messaged her, "I had a great time. I hope you got home alright". Later on that day she texted me back, "Had a good time as well. I got home safe. Thanks for asking."





On Tuesday night, without coercing or pushing for her to write me an E-mail, she sent me this:





"Hi there,





Just wanted to shoot you a quick note to say thanks for sunday night - i had a great time and enjoyed meeting you - hope we can do it again soon





have a great night!"








I was happy, as this seemed like she was interested in me and wanted to go out on another date.





Yesterday afternoon, I E-mailed her and said we should go on a date this Saturday, and indicated where we should go. As of 12 p.m. today, she has not E-m me back. What do you think this all means? Is she not trying to be desperate, by waiting to mail me?

Second date question help?
I would phone her up! If her no. is not available I would e-mail her again, asking her if she received your mail, and if yes if there is a problem with the date or place you suggested. If she won't come back I would stop mailing......if she is interested she will reply
Reply:I'd say she's just trying not to sound desperate


Because it deffo sounds like she likes you!


:-)
Reply:I bet she likes you alot nad has plans for you guys to get nmaried or sumthin!
Reply:mabe the e-mail delivery failed, send the message again, or mabe she is dating another guy, or she has work to do... first i would try to send the e-mail one more time, then i would get suspicious and forget about her
Reply:Probably she is trying to look un-desperate. Why don't you phone her, it's better than asking in email anyway. Good luck.
Reply:Sop stressing she will email u!!
Reply:It sounds like someone else has captured her attention. That's kind of how it works with online dating. Women have so many options and are constantly pursued. She probably has not lost interest but obviously she is still looking.
Reply:Maybe. Wait for her to reply. Don't pester her. If she doesn't reply in over a week, go on other dates.


Microsoft Access question: date fields?

I am a teacher, constructing a database for a hypothetical video store. I would like to create two fields in the Rentals table: one for rental date, and one for due date. Rental date would be "today", and Due date would be 7 days later (7 days plus the rental date). How can I do this? Thank you!

Microsoft Access question: date fields?
In your INSERT statement, you can use some functions like this:





INSERT INTO test (date1, date2)


SELECT Date(), dateAdd("d",7,Date())





That will add a record with the first date as the current date and the second record with the date 7 days later. You can make that an Append type query and pass parameters to it for additional data.








Optionally, you can use the Date and DateAdd functions as the default values in the two columns of your table - then when a rental record is added, the dates would be automatically filled in.
Reply:Use Microsoft Excel. More power for what you're doing. And if not use MySQL. Microsoft Access is to much work for what you want to do.
Reply:check the dateAdd function.
Reply:Hi again Crazy :)





For detailed requests like this, I'd again really recommend using VB 2005.





Let's assume that in VB 2005 EE, you've set up a form to insert an entry (such as by double-clicking on a video entry in a DGV, Data Grid View)





Let's than assume that a confirmation message box appears that will confirm the users wish to "check out" the video (I'm not quite sure how you're doing user authentication, but I'm going with a Windows-based user assumption at the moment)





"Are you sure you would like to check out this video?" Yes-No-Cancel





When a user clicks Yes, you would update the specific video (specified by the double-clicked entry's key), and specify that it is equal to today and that the due date is equal to today plus seven days:





'Example Code:


Dim checkOut As String





checkedOut = Today





Dim todaysDate() as String = Splite(checkedOut, "/")


Dim tM As String = todaysDate(0) 'Today's Month


Dim tD As String = todaysDate(1) 'Today's Day


Dim tY As String = todaysDate(2) 'Today's Year





Dim dueDate As String = todaysDate(0) %26amp; (todaysDate(1) + 7) _


%26amp; todaysDate(2)





'End Code





The above code makes several assumptions and will not work without quite a bit more refinement (such as logic to determine that December 28, 2006 + 7 days does not equal December 35, 2006) and implementing your Ole DB connection strings and update, but that will hopefully (hopefully hopefully ;)) give you an idea of where to start. I'm not sure how familiar you are with Visual Basic, so it may not help at all.

Stamped date on Fresh Eggs?

- I went into a shop yesterday and there were lots of eggs on the open cartons with a stamped date on the egg of 23 March. The shopkeeper did not know what the date meant but assured me that it was NOT the sell by date. I have also found out that eggs keep about a month after the sell by date.

According to DEFRA the date stamped on the eggs is the laying date, or the first working day after laying. This should be carried out either at the farm or the packing station.


The best before date should be preceded by BB
Reply:On all the eggs I have bought (stamped) the date is preceded by BB (best before) NEVER the date it was layed!





Either that, or they have come from the future!!





I urge you to go in any shop/supermarket and look at the date on the stamped eggs. Report It

Reply:The date could be the date of laying. The best way to tell if the eggs are passed their sell buy date is when the lion on the stamp is holding it's nose.
Reply:In Illinois this is the use by date. But our cartons would clearly say Exp 3/23/07. I can not believe he said he didn't know what it was. I would think twice before shopping someplace where people are so clueless.
Reply:Nearly everything now has to have a use by or best before date. Best before means this product is at its prime before this date but can be consumed after as long as it smells and looks normal. Use by normally on meats and high risk foods. Are again advising that consumption after use by date can be a risk. such as chicken and food poisoning.


If you work with food in the UK you must have a food hygiene certificate. This teaches you the basic of food hygiene and things like use by and best before date.
Reply:it is use by date and i would take notice of it cos eggs can cause illness if not fresh or cooked properly.
Reply:I'm sure this is a use by date. If it's got a lion stamp then it's salmonella free and should last 3 weeks after they're bought, but that date sounds dodgy. Next time you go to another shop look at the date stamps and compare them.





I just found this website:-





http://www.britegg.co.uk/lionquality05/s...





it says that the date is a best before date! Don't eat them


.
Reply:I have also found that eggs keep well past the date on the carton. I have found though that the older the egg the better they are for hard-cooking.





Don't let the nervous nellies tell you otherwise.
Reply:WILL THEY LEAVE NOTHING SACRED
Reply:What a load of old tosh...





If you go into any shop selling eggs, how can the date stamped by "Lion" on them be the date of laying??? If I now go into say, Waitrose and the eggs have April 15th on them, it means "use by" not the day the hen dropped it!! Unless it layed a year ago on April 15th - then you would have a really, really stale egg.





This is as in lots of produce, a guidline. Many cartons of milk I have bought have lasted well over the "use by" date. It just safeguards the consumer from eating something which could harm them if consumed after a certain time. As already mentioned it is sometimes 'over protective' in our nanny state here in the UK.
Reply:It's a 'use by' date. The shopkeeper can incurr a fine for selling out of date produce.


I have a date to PROM but I have a crush on a different girl...What can I do?

Ok. I asked this girl to the prom and she said yeah and at the time I had crush on her but within the past few days, she has told me she only likes me in the way of a great friend. But before she told me that, I also had a crush on another girl that has intensified since the first girl said I was only a friend. What can I do? Should I tell my date to prom that I don't want to go with her as a friend and go with my crush? Should I go with my date and still "date" my crush? Can you still date a girl and go to prom with my original date? This is driving me crazy!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I have a date to PROM but I have a crush on a different girl...What can I do?

Reply:shag he other girl in the toilet and then bring your date home and do her


Blind date?

well i just turned 15 and i met this guy on the internet.(he is not a sex predator trust me) he is 16 and going to be 17 in january. well we are going to go on a date and its going to be a double date. i invited my friend and he invited his... he doesnt know im 15 i told him i was 17. I just want to try to see what it is like to date an older guy. im not trying to be a slut... so...





Should i go on the date?

Blind date?
Depends. What if he's like 20? You're not the only one who can lie about your age. It could be very dangerous.





Plus, there's a big difference between 15 and 17, let alone if he's older. If you keep it safe and just meet somewhere w/o going in his car, etc, it might be ok, but I'd be very very careful, even if you're sure he's not a predator.





You can always go on a 2nd date if you liked the first date.
Reply:No way. As great as he "may" seem, it will end badly and can put you in a situation that will end up with you hurt or at the least, embaressed. He could become angry at the lie or be indifferant to you and try to take advantage of it. Caution, Caution, Caution!!!!
Reply:no dont go. you may think he not a sex predator but he could be. people lie. its a bad idea.
Reply:not a good idea!!!!!!!!!


know why?


it's cool that you want to be safe and bring a friend along on your "date", but don't you think you're putting you and your friend at risk to complete strangers. if you're lying to him and he's believing every word you are saying, then it still applies to him. he could be saying he's 17 when he could be a 43-year-old waiting for a girl like you to eat up his words.





the internet is never 100% safe.





i wouldn't take the risk.


if you could find a "17-year old" who is interested in you, i'm sure you can find another boy (in your area) who would be interested in you -- who won't care what your age is.





but, if you do decide to go on the date (moron.....)


you should be ULTRA SUPER CAREFUL.


i wouldn't recommend it, but what ever floats your boat.





i really don't want to hear this story on CNN.....
Reply:yer gonna what? ahem. blind dates are set up by friends, not by you, so this isn't a blind date. and u are taking a friend to meet someone she doesn't know? bad news bad new/whatcha gonna do? Say these gents are 17 and 18. The 18 year old could go to jail if he does anything stoopid. get a grip and don't go there.
Reply:I would go on the date, but I would fess up to him first. You shouldn't play anyone like that. Tell him the truth, and see if he still wants to go on the date with you. If he doesn't then the relationship never would have worked out to begin with. I know this is only to test the waters...to see what its like to date an older guy... but you should start off right by telling the truth. Who knows... you might end up liking this guy and if you dont tell the truth it might come back to bite you in the *** later on.





Good Luck.
Reply:HELL NO! Haven't you watched any of those Dateline shows where those guys pretend to be a teenager but are really someone completely different? Let's put it this way: if you are lying to your parents to get out of the house for the date, then you know something is wrong here. Don't do it. Plus, the age difference isn't big enough for him to be considered an "older man".
Reply:It is not adviced to go on blind dates specially when its fixed on the internet. You never know who might show up as the innocent 17 year old. So dont go.


Age is not a concern as long as:


Its Ok for the age different to be a max of 2 years.


2 years is OK
Reply:You better learn to be more careful. You are taking a big chance.
Reply:First know about him every details then think to go till No
Reply:girl please. you dont know how old these people are. find someone at school or in ur neighborhood. I hope i dont see you on a site for missing children.
Reply:do you love him? Honestly i would say no, because for all you know, he is a drinking, smoking, dude. But that is my opinion
Reply:Not gonna lie, my cousin did the exact same thing, she met a guy online, and after talking with him she was convinced that he was ok (i.e. not a sex predator). She brought a friend along too to be "safe". The truth is she never was safe, my cousin was taken that night, and we haven't seen her since, so seriously, watch what you're doing, people on the internet can be very decieving, they will say anything to make you believe them and to get you to meet them, for instance, who suggested that you guys meet? was it him, did you tell him you were bringing a friend and he got mad? think about what you're doing, and don't do it, trust me you don't want to go and get kidnapped because you were "trying to date an older guy"
Reply:well you've lied to him so you obviously don't respect him so I don't think anything long term can come out of your relationship but you have agreed to a date so I think you should honor your commitment and go.
Reply:uh....no....moron
Reply:yeah your gonna get raped


Great Date, real chemistry, no follow-up?

So I went to the club, and met this girl. We started talking, and hitted it off really well. Exchanged #s and all that. Then I called her the next day for coffee (had dinner %26amp; drinks instead), ending the date making out in her apt. Great date, things went very well. Texted her the day after the date to tell her I had a great time, and told her we should do it again. As I didn't get a reply, I called her later than evening (no reply either) and just left a voicemail.


2 days later I receive a text from her saying that shes sorry she didn't reply sooner, but that she needs her space, and that she'll call me later. What does that mean? Usually when I hit it off this well on a first date the girl loves to chat about it the next day..

Great Date, real chemistry, no follow-up?
She might have a boyfriend that she forgot to tell you about. Or, possibly she thought you moved way too fast and you scared her off. Trust me, if she was totally into you, she'd be calling you back. Let her know to call you when she wants to hang out again, but otherwise I think she's making it clear she's not interested in anything more for now.
Reply:maybe she just needs some space? maybe one text would have been sufficient and she felt as if you were overdoing it with the follow up phone call. I would give her the space, leave her alone and hope she contacts you. DO NOT contact her again though unless she contacts you... And wait a day or so to reply to her when/if she does contact you so she doesnt think ur desperate.
Reply:Leave it alone, that is her way of saying she is just not that into to you. She may have her eyes on someone else or just be a mixed up female, either way let it go.
Reply:Maybe it's just going to fast for her.


Ask her about it and see if she will talk to you about why.
Reply:She's not that into you...
Reply:You are coming on too strong! Give her space she will contact you. Best Wishes!
Reply:Well, you could've been just a rebound, or she tied you out to make someone jealous (it happens) ...She might've been just into it because she was out and wanted to try meeting a stranger and see how it goes. Yeah, it sounds like it went well, because you did get to exchange numbers, so i'll be more positive. She could be busy during the week, so that's one thing to consider. If she asked for space, then maybe she's still reflecting on what happened, and might've been afraid to hook up and is now giving herself time to think things through and evaluate her situation (you play a factor there, don't worry, because you might've seemed okay enough for her to give you her number) Remember, not all girls are the same. So the usual thing can't be applicable to all, but hey..don't worry too much. And give her til the weekend before you contact her, but just say hi and that you're just checking up on her, making sure she still remembers you (as a joke).. Keep it light if you can. Don't get frustrated. Ball's in your court.
Reply:everybody is different and has a different opinion of what a "great time" is..no offense. Don't call her again. Anyone who says " i need my space" after just one date is a little presumptuous as to what she feels your expectations are anyway. She could've worded it better......next!
Reply:Text back, "Great! Call me if you want!" and no more. Don't ask questions, don't ask her what's wrong; be very upbeat and cool. She will wonder why you are not depressed and confused. Even though we know you are.





If she is curious she will call you. If she doesn't, then you don't sound needy. Keep looking for a girl to have fun with.
Reply:i don't think she likes you as much as you think she does.
Reply:Maybe she thinks you're coming on too strong.


Just leave it be and let her make the next move.
Reply:maybe she wasn't as interested as you thought she was... just think about it, to you the night went great but to her maybe it was a little different... It doesn't sound to me that you should put anymore energy towards her, she has already said she wants space after the very first date.. think about it...

First date?

ok, here's my situation. i had a relationship end about six months ago with somebody i really loved. i think i might be ready to date again, but i'm not really sure. i'm afraid that if i start dating again I'm going to have my ex in the back of my mind. do you think it is normal for me to feel this way? is a first date after a serious relationship difficult? i know that eventually i have to get out there and start dating, because i want to find that special someone, but i'm just afraid of what i might feel.

First date?
It's normal to think about your old relationships during a first date with a new person but don't let that affect your night. You might have a tendency to compare your date with old relationships but that's not a good idea. Take it for what it is, this date has much to offer that your old relationships didn't and you can't nitpick about such details. For the sake of your new relationship you should move on and not think about such stuff but sometimes people do tend to reminisce about the past (usually the happy times they had with their ex).





The first date is sometimes very difficult out of a serious relationship because you have been in a relationship for so long and feel as though you don't know what it takes to date anymore. But you have to relax and just let it flow. The more comfortable you are about moving on the more fun you'll have on your date and the more you'll be able to appreciate this new person.
Reply:Its normal to be affraid of dating again, especially since you have a bad memory off the last one. You are associating feels, be careful. Just go out and do it. If I said I got shot while eating a hotdog, it would be normal for me to feel like I never want to eat another hotdog again (because I associated pain with the hotdog) but in reality...it's not logical. So go out there, have fun , and make your self a good memory with a new person. Good luck!

First date ideas?

I really really like my friend and i want to ask her out. We're both 16 and i've never dated before and i need first date ideas. She's one of a kind. She's really pretty, smart, and is nice to everyone. I wanted to have a special date with this special girl. i need some ideas. she plays soccer if that helps. and i wanted to know if it was okay to kiss on the first date. she's so pretty and smart and i really want to kiss her. her kiss has to be like heaven.





The other thing is that i want to know how to kiss. i want to kiss her so that she gets that gleam in her eyes.

First date ideas?
OK, date thing first. go to a dinner something casual- so she doesnt feel over or under dressed. maybe like a small italian place, then maybe if you have them were you live, a paramod- or even a waterfront/boardwalk-where you can talk and just get to know each other better. the view helps with the converstation starter too-incause you get tounge tied you can talk about the water-or what ever else ur looking at.


about the kiss-make sure the mood calls for it, try to get in touch with what her body langage is telling you:


The Kiss. first put one hand on her shoulder, the other on the back of her neck, pull her close, part ur lips-french kiss-message your toung with hers(as if you were sucking on a lollipop or something to that point). do it for a couple of sec-min, then as you pull away, take her bottom lip and bit it ever so lightly as you finish up(dont do it too hard she wont enjoy it and it will mess up ur whole game). it works trust me.

Lunch date: tell me the signs he wants to start dating or just be friends?

I went on a lunch date with this guy, and it seemed to be understood that depending on how it went, we would start dating or just remain friends. Can you tell me the signs during and at the end of lunch that said he wanted to start dating and the signs that would indicate he wanted to remain just friends? I know I'll find out eventually, but I really need to know kinda how it went from the signals he sent/things he should have said.

kiss on the cheek goodbye- maybe too much for a first date, expecially a lunch date but probably wants to date you
Reply:after the lunch date sit back and let him make the next move
Reply:Please just relax. I don't want to be mean, but you sound desperate. Let me ask you a few questions. Did you talk together easily, were you both relaxed, did anyone have to run off, did you laugh. If you are asking us this question, that makes me a little nervous and doubtful, but we never know until he calls. And I don't agree that you should call him. You could text him, say mid-day tomorrow, and tell him you enjoyed your outing and hope to talk to him soon. If he paid, you can also thank him for the meal. Relax.
Reply:Don't be in a hurry. Let time take care of everything. Maybe a few more lunch dates will answer that. Let him take the next step. Relax my dear. You will find out when the time is right...

Virus Date & Time?

The other day I seen that my date was off by two years, its shows june 7th 2005. I can change that on my computers desktop okay and it stays like that until you shut down/restart the computer. I went into the CMOS and the date and time was two years behind there. So I changed the the time and date there, saved and exited. When the computer restarted the time was still two years off in both areas. I can not get them to stay at the correct date. I have ran AVG Virus, AVG Spyware, Spybot S%26amp;D, and Ad-Ware 2007. None of them have deticated a problem, but I know better!


Any help would really be appreciated. Thank You,

Virus Date %26amp; Time?
The battery for you BIOS is probably going bad. Replace the battery on your mother board. The other problem could be that you have a bad BIOS chip but I thinking it is the battery.
Reply:I've got the same problem. I'ts definitely not the CMOS battery. An empty CMOS battery would reset the date to 1970, but it would not change the date by exactely 2 years.


In the meantime I've got some more severe problems like unable to start the explorer etc. Report It

First date with a guy_ how to know he is interested?

I went on a date with someone last night.. It was the best night ever! He indeed treated me like queen.. ! We went to a royal dinner, dessert and later on a club. I am a bit reserved. but i think he likes my chirpy talk and that I listened to him intently of all his stories. my only dilemma is, later on in the club he started kissing me. I was not sure, if kissing was the right thing to do on a first date or not.. so wanted to stop myself.. but couldn't escape the leo charm i guess. and we got a little intimate ( he started it, though).. My worry is, does he think because i didn


t stop it, he would not respect me. coz, i think a man wants to have respect for the woman. i am not sure, also that if a man becomes intimate on the first date means he is casual about the whole thing and don't want to get serious in future or is it ok to be intimate on first date.. and still be serious may be later..He hasn't call med yet though..can someone please comment?

First date with a guy_ how to know he is interested?
don't wait around, move on. if he calls, great! if not, oh well...





by waiting and putting all your hopes in, you leave yourself open to being crushed.





i'm sure you're a great person, time to move on!
Reply:It is unfortunate this happened to you, but take it as a lesson well learned. Guy's want one thing, if they have any respect for you they will wait, he could have been trying the waters and found them too easy. They don't see it as they ar ethe only one you care for, they know if you do it that easy with one you will do it with another. take your lesson and move on. He may come back but think about what he is coming back for.
Reply:lol haha now thats from the playa guide, you were stupid enough to fall for it
Reply:You can still have a serious relationship but he will always remember you are easy and in the back of his mind think that you are giving it to all the guys.
Reply:only time will tell
Reply:everyone is different with that said this coming from a guy i would like the girl if i felt we made out because of me and she usually dont do that. if you tell him that it will give him an idea that you want to be serious. by the way the more you hold out the more we like it (for serious relationships) of course you can't hold out for too long kiss on first date is fine i think as long as that was it
Reply:try 2 be Normal
Reply:He's not going to call, you were too easy. It doesn't matter who initiated it...you let it happen.
Reply:i'd say that you should have stopped him. but i have been in this situation before and although it's harder, i think that you can still have a serious relationship.


he likely respected you, but thought you were really hot and took the opportunity to be 'intimate'.


just try not to let it happen again next time.. if he tries something, just say, i want to get to know you a little better first, ok?


and also don't just do anything he wants b/c you think he's expecting it. it's about YOU and YOUR comfort level.





edit


also, i don't know the guy, but it seems like he is a respectful ma if he took you to all those places.. seems like he cares. but i could be wrong.. it depends on his personality.
Reply:Just take it easy and chill-





You did what you thought was the best thing at the time so just wait and see what happens from here...





Stop with the panic.


First Date Question?

Ok guys or girls, I want to get started back in the dating world, and well I just met this girl the other day and she gave me her number w/o even asking, so she does show interest... and well any ways, I want to ask her out on a date for this Friday or Saturday night. I was planning on calling her up tonight and just casually seeing whats up, and then throwing out there "well hey this friday or saturday im gonna be goin up to miller time to shoot some pool, i was wonderin if you would want to come aswell?" something like that.... Seeing how she is more of a rock music girl, and seeing how at the pool hall they play alot of rock music, and I'm pretty decent at pool. Would this be a good Idea, I think it is myself, but I was just wondering what other people would suggest? Keep in mind I haven't dated in a while and haven't dated that much before ne how. Oh yeah and I am 17. Thanks for the Suggestions :D

First Date Question?
Sounds like a good plan. You already have an idea of what to do (never ask a girl to make the plans, it's a turn off) and know that it has a good chance to get her interest. I would probably commit to one specific day (i.e. "I'm going Saturday" or "I'm going Friday"). Make it sound like you have a life and your busy having fun and your schedule is too busy to keep two days open.





If she wants to go for it, great. If not, her loss. In case she declines to go, still go and play pool so you can tell her how much fun you had (i.e. fun she missed) when she asks you about it next week.





Good Luck...
Reply:Definitley on the right track! I'm happy for you and good luck! Remember you can always change plans after pool...


Have fun be yourself and enjoy the evening.
Reply:yea do that good idea
Reply:Well... I think that if your 17 maybe you shouldn't be taking someone to a bar... Just my opinion, but it sounds to me like you know how to ask someone out.... but to keep an open mind about this.. I think you have the right idea... Good Luck!!
Reply:yea it sounds great, its great that you take her style in to consideration i say go for it why you have the chance.
Reply:Sounds like a good plan to me..So while your playin pool what is she going to be doing...Why dont you try takin her somewhere a lil better somewhere you could talk between just the both of you to get to know each other..Take her out to eat..just nowhere too expensive..after all u jus did meet her
Reply:sounds good. or just head to the park, even if it is winter (well it's winter here)
Reply:That sounds good. and as u said she has shown interest. i would do it soon or she will think your not interested in her.
Reply:ya u should do tht, it will totally work.
Reply:Sounds likes a good idea and if u do something stupid or mess up just laugh it off NEVER BE AFRAID TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF
Reply:If your parents are gone at the house, invite just her over, bump the music, and drink some beers, that's what I'm talkin' bout'!
Reply:well that sounds pretty reasonable, specially because you think she might feel good in that place, but I also think it is so important that you feel comfortable too, I mean if that what you really want is ok.. but it might be good to take her to a place where you feel in your enviroment, and find out if she feels good at it, I think that's the only way to find out if you two can have any future together.





however good luck !


The "3rd final" date?

I heard that 3rd date is when you get laid. I only dated one girl so i don't know what to do on the 3rd date. 1st date was just a kiss. 2nd date was french kiss. How can i know for fact that she'll invite me to her place when i drop her off. Do i grab her breast. So she knows what i want. How can i do this.

The "3rd final" date?
Oh my God are you serious???


You think there's a book out there for us to follow, 1st date a kiss, second date french kiss and third date sex??... Come on sweety get real!..... I really hope you are kidding, if you are not then let me burst your bubble and tell you that if you grab this girl's breast, tell her its a third date and you want her to take you upstairs for sex you may get slapped rather then 'laid'!
Reply:No, whoever told you that is stuupid!!!!!! You'll get laid when and if she decides the time is right, not because of numbers. If you grabbed her breast be prepared in case she kicks you in the groin. Most times, unless she's really horny or you are the most gorgous guy on the face of the earth you will have to build up to this. Actually, if she puts out to early she risks any guy running back to his friends and telling them she's easy. So, slow down and enjoy the foreplay.
Reply:Man, if you like this girl then go at her pace. Just go with the mood and if you really like her and you want it to last, then play it cool!!!
Reply:There is no rule about when sex begins or if its even appropriate for the relationship. If she gives you signals that she's ready for the next step, ease into it. Do not grab her breasts.
Reply:who have you been talking to? Don't worry about it. Wait till your in love.
Reply:I have no idea where your hear that-----------so silly---------don't worry about getting laid-----let it be natural and not forced and it will be much better----I recommend not getting your hopes too high yet----------if shes a good girl she may want to wait till married even---and thats fine too-----------good luck
Reply:Good heavens don't just grab her breast. You have to work up to it man. If she kisses you more than a peck, go from there. You might kiss her neck, have your hand on her leg. She will let you know if you are alright to go on. Don't rush it or make her feel you are groping her. Have some sensitivity and let her decide if she is ready.
Reply:there are no rules. let us know if she has a yahoo answers account - that way when we get the "am I pregnant" question we'll have the whole story.
Reply:no, dont grab her breast. talk to her and flirt as much as possible, to find out if the interest is there. if you know she really likes you, maybe invite her back to YOUR house so it won't be as akward for her to think of , good luck :)
Reply:Don't be in such a hurry. She will like you better if you do'nt pressure her into anything. No don't grab her breast. Watch it or it could be Strike three you are out.
Reply:thats just a bunch of crap, the hole 1st date = this 2nd = that


do things at ur own speed, and take it slow


good luck
Reply:First of all, the "3rd final" is not true. Not all girls are like that. If you really like this girl then you will have to be patient. You already got a kiss, that means she likes you, now she needs to know if she can be more comfortable with you. Make her feel comfortable and wonderful things can happen.


Mary Shakes the Date Tree when giving birth to Jesus? (for muslims)?

Do you think dates can help a pregnant woman giving birth? As Allah tells Mary to shake the date tree toward her when she was headed toward it in her labor pains.





Quran 19:23-25


[23] And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said: "Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!"





[24] Then (the babe 'Iesa (Jesus) or Jibrîl (Gabriel)) cried unto her from below her, saying: "Grieve not: your Lord has provided a water stream under you.





[25] "And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you."

Mary Shakes the Date Tree when giving birth to Jesus? (for muslims)?
Dates ( kurma) is of many benefit not only to pregnant(in labour) women but also to all. in general, it contains lots of energy which helps women in labour yet low in fat. it's fibre contents is also high. taste good... i ate dates most of the time as snacks for the children, energy source when needed, for any reasons at all.It helps regularity which is important post partum. dates also taste sweet but it's sugar content is not harmful, moreover it's have good effect for those who r diabetics or post partum.

First date failed, is it possible to get a girl to give me a second change?

Pretty straight forward question, I feel like I could have chemistry with a friend of mine so I asked her out and she said yes. I was a perfect gentleman and she thought I was sweet but neither of us felt a spark and at the end I asked her straight out what her feelings were. She said she didn't have time to date right now.





I usually take that to mean (and when I say it to girls it does mean) "I'm sorry but I just don't want to date you, but I want to let you down easy."





But In her case it might actually be true, she is still in love with a guy but their relationship is apart since he has entered a career far away with no chance of returning for a decade and she is really busy with medical school. From the moment I picked her up I definitely got the feeling she didn't want this to be a date, so she kept her guard up all night. That makes me think she meant exactly what she said... she really doesn't have time to date right now. If that's so do I have a second chance someday?

First date failed, is it possible to get a girl to give me a second change?
It is possible yes that you have another chance someday. If I were you though I would just be her friend right now and give her space. I admire her for knowing what she wants and needs right now. I hear medical school can be stressful. She apparently knows what is important to her in life.
Reply:Sorry. She says No. Then it's a No. Move on.
Reply:Yeah it is possible, but you should try to date someone else.
Reply:I, for one, never say "never!" Maybe she really is just super busy and/or still needs time to get over her ex.





I know that when I am in love with someone, I can't muster up feelings for anyone else (attractive or not) no matter how much I'd like to move on.





Just hang in there and maybe try being her friend! She may come around! Stranger things have happened! Good luck!
Reply:There's always a chance!! My current boyfriend and I swore for three years that we didn't want anything more than friendship. Finally we decided to try and date it was quite akward at first and we almost gave up.. but there were strong feelings and so we tried again. Now we've been dating happily for 3 years and have known each other 6.... soo there's always a chance!! Just hang in there and be her friend! It sounds like that's what she needs right now.
Reply:I would just stay being her friend..as a female, I LOVE keeping all my guy friends, friends so that things aren't complicated and its actually so nice when I can JUST be friends with some of these guys. It sounds like she probably really is pretty busy so my suggestion is to be a really good friend and DO NOT cross that line to make her uncomfortable.


Asians date Asians?

This is not the banal question about why white people like to date asians or vise versa. I want to take a poll to see how many asians actually want to date their own race..in another word..asians. Not just dating, but marrying and actually commit to the other person. Don't you feel more confortable when you share the same culture with your partner? even if you borned in U.S, there is still a cultural difference...the way your parents brought you up and etc.





Oh yeah, not just asians..do white people like to date their own race also?





i hope you people don't see this as a racist question(because i'm not racist) just face the truth....

Asians date Asians?
Just check the population in China...
Reply:in US, asian americans see themselves through white eyes, as in, the minority is influenced by the majority, the dominant culture in US. asian americans feel %26amp; act like they're white, so it's natural for asian americans to date whites, or any minority in US to date whites but not vice versa Report It

Reply:I'm Mexican and never dated a Mexican girl, i grew up with white people so just dated them. in h.s. is when i actually went to school with other Mexicans, i also grew up in a well off part, so i mostly associated with rich white kids. the Mexicans in h.s kind of didn't talk to me , i did stand out as far as not looking,talking or acting the role. also the Mexican and black kids were in gangs so i didn't want to hang with them either...i have nothing againt my race,in fact i'm proud of it, i just never really got to know them and vice versa...
Reply:I'm filipino and there aren't many filipina girls in my state, but I would love to date them. I have always been attracted to asian girls.
Reply:I'd like to make friends with caucasians (maybe a little more than black people)...
Reply:It's All Good!
Reply:do the words 'soul mate' have race or culture involved?





just out of curiosity, how old are you? I would add more to my answer if I knew...
Reply:no , asian dates anyone. u may date with me, email:- elc12thsep00@yahoo.co.in
Reply:im in an interracial relationship and i dont see any barrier that makes me feel uncomfortable... actually the cultural differences makes our relationship more interesting... learning or doing things from a different perspective is always awesome. i embrace both cultures and i wish i can experience more cultures
Reply:I stick with my color, which is white. I don't like to date outside of my race and it's not because I'm against them, I'm just not into that
Reply:asians usually do stick to their own race...that's their preference. some go with whoever they want, but that's not common
Reply:Well sometimes it's boring being with your own race,you may be the same race but are very different.That's why you need to go test the waters,but if you don't like what you tested don't judge a whole race because of the one person just try again if still doesn't work go back to your own,but don't stay with your own have a little extra on the side,you know,im not saying cheat but it's good to be with a different race once in awhile,try it it's cool :)
Reply:I'm Asian and I prefer to date with certain Asians but i also think some people who are white are hot. xP It really just depends. But right now I only like one certain guy and he has the same heritage as me and we both share a lot of things in common. So basically if we're both comfortable with each other it really doesn't matter.
Reply:I'm white and for me I am generally not attracted to African-Americans. I like my guy pale, so either white, or Asian. My boyfriend just happens to have a lot of the same racial backrounds that I have. It has more to do with what the person is like.
Reply:uhh sure?? idk i dont feel like reading sry haha
Reply:depends if they look good
Reply:Who ever is HOT!!!
Reply:you sound racist


Wedding date issue!?

My fiance and i are trying to finalize the wedding date. Since i am still planning on doing some classes we have decided to have the wedding during winter break. After looking at the dates of when school end/starts for winter break, the dates are December 15 or December 29 of 2007. Do you think that those dates are too close to christmas and i should avoid those days?? we dont want to wait until June to get married.

Wedding date issue!?
I am a man. Speaking for men in general, try to get married as close to a MAJOR holiday as possible. At least that way your intended has a CHANCE of remembering your anniversary. The 29th would be great!! Of course you might still have to drop subtle hints (maybe not so subtle ones too). I am sorry that we males of the species were deprived of the "significant dates memory" gene.





In all seroiusness, pick the date that works best for YOU and God bless you both, happiness and long life!
Reply:If you want to have good gifts then make it before the 20th. because people go out of town on the weekend before christmas and they will be just gone. I think things will be booked very quickly because it will not be only your wedding going on..but the Christmas get togethers so hotels, halls, cars, everything will go very soon. Plan plan very well and save alot. that can be my recommendation to you.
Reply:I personally would go for New Years Eve, even though that isn't one of your dates.





People have a great time at New Year's Eve weddings. First, they'll stay up all night partying with you. Second, you give everyone a great party to go to. Third, if you have the reception in a hotel, then everyone will have a place to crash after getting drunk at your wedding.





But if you don't like this idea, I say go for Dec. 15. December 29 is too hectic for most people, I think, as they are just getting over Christmas and are gearing up for New Years.
Reply:I don't think you need to wait until june. Why should it matter if your wedding date is so close to christmas? It is your day!! Pick a day that makes you both happy and stick with it. Most people aren't going to say anything about the date you pick, they will just be happy to be there and see the two of you get married!! So, do what makes you happy and if that means getting married in december right before or after christmas do it!!
Reply:After you finalize the date, send "save the date " cards to your guests.


That way they can plan any holiday vacations around your wedding.





Congrats.
Reply:I think those days are sooo great, and so easy to plan for. I wanted a winter wedding....but then decided against it for personal reasons. (We didnt want to wait till 2007), because we got engaged in May 2006! Not a long time to plan!! Anyways, the Christmas colors would be absolutely beautiful for a wedding.... and like i said, its really easy to plan for, because you can find alot of red and greens for weddings!!! :)





Hope I could help!! Good luck in everything!!
Reply:I would want to have it Dec 29...everyone is stressed out and life is so hectic before the holidays. Then again everyone is broke after the holidays, so wedding presents might be a little skimpy (although that will probably be made up for in the costs you will cut on vendors in having a winter wedding)
Reply:I would do the 15th I think that is a perfect time people are excited about Christmas and want to celebrate and a wedding is a perfect outing for celebration. A christmas wedding sounds really nice. Not only will you be excited for your wedding but you will have twice the excitment for christmas. Good luck and happy holidays. If you need any advice planning your wedding feel free to email me. I jsut got married in September of this year


BabyDolll128@yahoo.com
Reply:Well, I am getting married on December 16 of this year and I will tell you that it is very stressful. But that will happen no matter what time you plan it. But our reason of picking this date was because I also go to school and I'll be out. Do what you think is best for you, it's your wedding!!! And do not forget that!
Reply:Well...it all depends. If you are concerned about gifts, then don't have it on either of those dates. If you are concerned about college friends not being able to attend bc they are going home, don't have it on either of those dates.





Otherwise, go for it! If you are doing an open bar, do it on December 29th and plenty of people should come. They can always hit clubs and parties after...If no open bar, some people probably won't come.
Reply:No a lot of people get married around those times.





Pick the date your most comfortable with.
Reply:My suggestion is December 15th - as it is 10 days before the holidays. The 29 is only 4 days after christmas, and 2 days before new years so by that point, your guests are pretty tired out. The 15th, since it is before the holidays, will be more of a kick-off rather then another "thing" in the middle of it all.

First Date Flower?

Hello everyone.





I have a date scheduled for this monday. We are having a "get to know you" date at a bar and meeting under the premise of watching the Eagles game. Normally I would bring along a carnation to a first date, but I am not sure what to do in this case; I am not quite sure about bringing a flower to a bar. I mean if it ends up that I am picking her up it is without a question that she will get one, but if we are meeting at the bar should I do the flower? What other suggetions could you give for a gift for a bar date?

First Date Flower?
Skip the flower this time. So the next time you two go out pick her up and give her an orchid instead of a carnation. Orchids are more sophisticated and exotic.
Reply:if you arent picking her up then i wouldnt do the flower. just pay for her on the first date.
Reply:i think you should get a rose, it is prettier then a carnation, but if you don't want to, try getting her jewelry or something more meaning full, maybe something of yours.
Reply:in my opinion i wouldn't do the flower thing at the bar. if you were picking her up yes i would do a flower. buy her a drink or two or three...heheh...but just don't get to over whelmed. this is a get to know her date like you said so. if she like the eagles them get her something with an eagle logo. im sure she would like both.


Kiss on first date,yes or no?

there are many first kiss questions out there but this is a diffrent one. I know this girl for about 4 years and I never kiss on first dates. Thinkin about kissin her on this date because we live far from each other so this might be the only chance or i'll be that guy who's "Oh,he just a kid who i went to the movies once" . Sometimes I think I shouldn't kiss her on the first date because I dunno...it's just rude? and she's 16, I'm 2 years older than my date,so if i dont kiss her on first date, I'm just a pure gentleman.

Kiss on first date,yes or no?
do it,


but only kiss
Reply:well.............noooooooooooooooooooooo... huh...nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Reply:it depends on the kind of relationship and sparks you share wid your date. a kiss on cheek is fine i think. if u feel like really kissing her lips then tell her she possess honey clad, rose petal like lips which re as fresh as a morning dew on red rose and you would like to pluck the dew from those soft red petals. i don think she wud say no.
Reply:peck on the cheek


I've done it before...


sort of before the first date...


lol


(it worked out well... and we're mostly still togather...)
Reply:I think the answer depends solely on your state of mind. Here are a couple of options:





You don't kiss - because you are a wimp or you are nervous (BAD!)


You don't kiss - because she has not proved worthy of a kiss (GOOD!)





You kiss - but you ask first or you are too soggy (BAD)


You kiss - with confidence and skill (GOOD!)





Understand?





Furthermore, use the date to find out whether she impresses YOU, not the other way around, and then go from there.





All applicable laws apply of course.
Reply:The first time I took out a girl who was 16, yes, I did kiss her--twice. It was heaven and she loved it.
Reply:What about splitting the difference and going with a kiss on the cheek?
Reply:go on and kiss her, if she or u live far it soesn't matter what she thinks of u, just enjoy being with her and a kiss isn't that bad. enjoy her
Reply:i would say yes but its up to you in the end
Reply:well,a kiss on a date is great..is a very sweet way to start on a romantic relationship...so y not?!








good luck!
Reply:Don't know where you live but in California, that is Jail-bait........
Reply:I say, yes. I went on a date with this guy who'd liked me for a long time, and he knew I liked him. As with your story, we live far apart. I had been hoping we would kiss, but he never made a move. It was the most disappointing date I'd ever been on. Kiss her. The fact that he did nothing, not even held my hand, bthers me. It makes me wonder if he even liked me. I mean, he said I did, but after borderline rejection, it's hard to get passed that.
Reply:ITS CALLED RAPE TILL SHE'S 18 SO DONT DO IT UNLESS SHE ASKS YOU TO !!
Reply:Depends on if you like him or her alot.
Reply:i would say its ok to kiss n the first date but it all depends on how its goin, if u have known her for so long u should be able t tell if a kiss is okay, just look for signs on the date does she touch u alot ...thengs like that im sure she problly wants to kiss u too, dnt be worried about it jsut take a chance and go in fr the kill. lol she problly wnt mind! :)





xoxo NICOLE
Reply:hi who ever wen u want to go wit ur wish den y wasting time just go ahead ...... do u really lov her if yes den ask her if she agrees den do it. but if u try it at random u may lose her the next moment u kiss her


Fifth date: he still asks me "you wanna split"? How shd I handle this?

It's bothering me. Why is he being so cheap? I have been through several dating situations over the years, and this was never an issue. The guy always genuinely offered to pay. I am 100% sure he is interested in seeing me now, and in the future (he eagerly sets up all the dates) and he even mentioned that he is exclusively dating me since he doesn't date more than 1 at any time. Should I bring this up to him, or keep quiet and play along? I hv no problem paying my share, but....I just feel he should genuinely offer to confidantly pay for us both atleast one time? I'd hate to spoil something good because of this issue. How should I put it across to him in a nice way? Your thoughts? I am feeling bitter and a bit resentful with this strange selfish behavior.

Fifth date: he still asks me "you wanna split"? How shd I handle this?
Dump his cheap ***. No Gentleman would go this long without offering to pay for a meal. You should be very resentful cause he does not respect you.
Reply:the only time the girl should ever have to pay for a date is after there has been a confirmed established long term relationship, until then he should be paying
Reply:Tell him you're an old fashioned girl when it comes to dating.
Reply:Ask him one time if it would be ok if he would pay your share cause your kinda low on cash and see what he says!
Reply:be a team player...split the bill
Reply:Well if you guys are exclusive as you have said you are Than maybe offer to pay for you both next time you go out and maybe he will get the hint from that and follow suit. At least that way you are not feeling ackward about having to try and find a "nice" way of saying it. If after you have paid for a date and he still doesn't get the hint.................start filling your calandar and become unavailable when he wants to go out. If he asks why then you have to bite the bullet and tell him. Good Luck!!
Reply:Yeah, sounds like the dude is so cheap.





You should dump the dude very fast and search for a new dude that is generous and will pay the bill all the time.
Reply:THERE ARE OTHER BIGGER AND BETTER FISH IN THE POND, MY GOOD WOMAN!
Reply:if he asked you then.....i think he should pay the bill but since he want split.......be kind....give him ur part then...but .show a LITTLE disappointment....say " ah o o... ok"......
Reply:It's dump city baby and your the truck. You know what ya got to do now..... Greener Pasteur and all that


BLIND DATE run AWAY? SO I was SET up ON this STUPID BLIND DATE?

by my friend mike. i get to the bar, the only guy that looks like my date, looked like his older brother not like dude in the pic





my brother was supposed 2 wait for the cue %26amp; come in to take me home. how about that loser left me there stranded. so, at the tea shop im looking @ this guy @ now i'm getting nausea.





he had a nasty mustache that curled over %26amp; under his top lip, a pair of working boots all dusty @ dirty, a sweaty top, %26amp; the ugliest guy hands i've ever seen. he starts 2 tell me how he took the train got there early then decided to walk from 30th %26amp; market, all the way 2 5th %26amp; south st. (for all of you in philly you know how far that is) then he started smelling like musty sweat...





needless to say i made myself sick %26amp; that date was over. i took a cab home %26amp; the cabby said 2 me, ' pardon me mam, please tell me that was your dad '





do you have a horror blind date story? how did you get out of it?





who tricked you into going on it? and did they pay dearly?

BLIND DATE run AWAY? SO I was SET up ON this STUPID BLIND DATE?
I've only gone on one blind date in my life, and that was enough for me. He dressed like 'The Skipper' from Gilligan's Island and danced like 'Re-Run' from What's Happenin'....





I don't know which was worse... The big anchor buttons on his blazer or the kickin' and pointin' and head noddin'....





I do know that I took a hand full of aspirin and kept drinking Stolichnaya - neat - hoping I would slip into a coma. That just gave me a blinding headache - which is how I got out of it.





My co-worker and I decided to go out. She asked her boyfriend to bring a friend - she didn't know it was Mr. Pop-Lock. I was not amused but I eventually forgave her.... Now all I have to do is one of them dance moves and we can't even work for the rest of the day from laughing.
