    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I was talking to a friend recently and she was not happy with her first date, meeting a new person. From what I heard, he spent a lot of the date talking about his problems.
I am not sure if there is any magic formula, but I would think that good first dates include time for both people to talk about their interests. Perhaps some subjects are best left for succeeding dates.
 
It's been so long since i've had a good one that I don't really remember what that's like. The last one I went out with confessed about his gambling addiction within the first thirty minutes and then stuck me with the check. A real winner!
 
I would have told him I had to go out to my car to get my credit card, and then driven away.
Jeez.
 
It gets better. Later he felt so guilty that he paid me back FOR HIS HALF! And to this day when he sees me he still tries to hang out, like he has absolutely no idea that that was very very bad.
 
Yeah I bet he has these long talks with his buddies, wondering why he can't find a girlfriend...... :rofl:
 
I don't really date anymore either. Sometimes it makes me sad that I don't and I get in the mood to be with someone, but then when it actually comes to the time when I would have to say "Okay I'm dating again. I'm going to go out there, meet people, make an effort." I just remember how excruciating and exhausting it is.
 
Ugh dating is painful! My best date was with my guy now on the first b-day of mine that we were together during. He took me to a Butterfly Sanctuary.
 
A butterfly sanctuary sounds like a great date, I have heard of them and I think that would be awesome.
 
i am so glad i don't date anymore. i got so sick of the pick up lines and the losers!! mainly the pick up lines. if i ever hear a guy say "you're like a glass of milk, all i wanna do is drink you up" will so have a glass of cheap beer spilled on him(i'm not wasting the beer i got). i will definitely not miss dating. :dgrin:
 
I dont make an effort to get out there and find a date, that's way to awkward. I do very poorly when stuck with a total stranger.

Usually things just happen between me and a friend or acquaintance. Makes the WORLD of difference if you know something about the person. No need to try be someone special, cause they know you already.
 
milk?? never heard that before.....hahaha..are you light skinned.....this is a reallllly dumb one......when a guy asks for your number BEFORE he asks for your name.......one day im just gonna have to say...sure..ill give you my number, but who will you ask for when you call LOSER. haha.
 
I heard a worse line than that one time. I was hanging out with my friends and one of their guys friends that I didn't know. I said something about my back hurting and he said, "Do you sleep on your stomach?" I said no. He said "then can I?"
 
i dont date because....well frankly because nobody wants to date me, lol. i stopped trying a while ago. got too tired of all the good looking girls (no im not shallow...i have standards) being married or gay or in one clasic instance....

her: "hi you dont talk much"

me: "im watching the ball game"

her: "ummm...were you molested by your priest?"

me: " uh.... no"

her: "oh..well, i was. wanna hear about it?"

(and people ask me why I dont go out more often...)
 
I chose other

When me and my present girlfriend started dating about 3 years ago we went road herping for the first date.

Moved a 5 foot gator off the road, caught a cottonmouth, a corn snake and a bull frog the size of my head.

She is now my good luck charm.
 
Maybe its just me but I think as long as the grim reaper isn't involved any first date would be a good one.
