Dalty (and Adam's) Dating Adventures
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Dalty (and Adam's) Dating Adventures
This is the thread where you all get to laugh at my hilarious adventures in the world of dating and help me navigate the bloody mine-field that is re-hitting the dating scene at my age! Also, Adam's here, but he's such a stone cold Norwegian stud he doesn't need our help!

Re: Dalty (and Adam's) Dating Adventures
So mission #1:
Beautiful girl, 35 years old. Has 2 kids. Been chatting for ages. Never met but intro'd through a mutual friend. This Saturday Is D-Day. Oldest kid is with the father for the weekend. Youngest kid (therefore date) is in a state of flux due to awaiting confirmation from the Grandmother that she can babysit.
So.....exam question. It's probably lunch. Do I offer that she can bring youngest and do something fun and kid friendly? Or is that totally off the reservation and a little creepy?
Good with kids and open to her being a parent and it not being an issue vs. thats just a little creepy?
Modern dating is so confusing!

Re: Dalty (and Adam's) Dating Adventures
Being OK with having a kid tag along only sounds creepy to people without kids. I suppose it also depends on how you say it. Just don't sound pedophiley when you suggest it. Also, be sure you're truly cool with the kid coming along before you say you're cool with it. If you two hit it off, you'll have to get to know the kids anyway.
Be sure to let her know she has a voice in the matter. If the point of her getting out is to get a break from her kids, she might not want the kid there. Don't make it sound like you insist that she bring along the kid. Some people also want to make sure they're serious about a person before introducing that person to their kids. I've had friends like that.
Dating's never seemed all that confusing to me. On some level, it's strange to me that people get worked up about it. This whole "fear of rejection" thing seems like it must be pretty crippling.

Re: Dalty (and Adam's) Dating Adventures
I have a date coming up in a couple of hours with the most promising girl I'll have had a date with in YEARS. Getting nervous, but I like the cut of her jib thus far, so I think it should be okay.

Re: Dalty (and Adam's) Dating Adventures
And don't worry about this "friend zone" bullshit that compels guys to turn on the douche switch whenever they come to the conclusion that they've been too nice. If the desire to manipulate women into sleeping with you is overriding your desire to present yourself honestly and as a person with some shred of decency, you have problems.

Told you, he's a ladykiller. I can't compete with that. Just hope Studly Stud McStudson leaves some leftovers for us mere mortals further down the dating food chain!

Meh. She was...intense. I don't see a long term future, but that's okay as it keeps me free to pursue the girl who waxes my back!

Re: 'The Child Conundrum' - I just said that if her Mum couldn't look after her daughter and she fancied tagging along for lunch then that was no problem, and left it at that.

You don't want it getting hard if the kid tags along.

At one point, I also seamlessly worked in "Don't worry, I smelled what you were cookin'." just for you guys. She rolled with it.

Did she respond with "That was a fart, you perv!"?

Eh, I'm not sold yet. She's not wild about Springsteen. Not anti-Boss, just indifferent-Boss.

Studly Stud McStudson is so spoilt for choice that his standards can afford to be inflexible.

If it is, it means that many, many of Earth's humans' sexual organs will remain unavailable to him--unless he's a love-'em-and-leave-'em sort of dude who bangs first and asks about the Boss later.Mal Shot First wrote:Oh, for fuck's sake, that's your criterion??Adam54 wrote:Eh, I'm not sold yet.

How about it, Adam? Are you a love-'em-and-leave-'em sort of dude who bangs first and asks about the Boss later?
