Okay...I've Called the Late Night DISers, Now I'm Calling the Single DISers (Part 2)

Opening doors means a lot to me and it would never drive me nuts if they did it all the time. My XH always did this for me. I know I can do it myself but I think it is a sign that they are a gentleman and know how to treat a lady.

Gosh, things are moving fast here. I also had a post on the page before this one.
 
WOW Legs, that looks like a beautiful resturant!

LOL PW!!! If he passed the picture test I bet he will be fine. I think most people tend to look better in real life since two dimensions typically do not capture personality.

My ex and I used to have friends that were dating who kept track of who owed who money - for normal dating stuff like dinner and movies. I just couldn't believe it!

The picture test...actually, he had sent me a flirt message. I didn't answer it for two days. LOL! :laughing: At first I didn't care for his looks at all. But from time to time those two days I kept going back occasionally to look and read. I liked what he wrote, his composition and grammar was much better than some others I had seen. That stuff is important to me. So I decided to put the looks aside for now. He's not hideous, just not what I would have picked out if I were looking over pics and profiles. Lately, I tend to go the route of blonde hair and blue eyes. This guy has dark hair, olive complexion. I believe last night he said he has Armenian and Pakistani heritage back there...born in CA. :) I want blonde hair and blue eyes!!! :teeth: LOL! But we'll see how the personality is. He sounded nice on the phone. Now, how many guys would do this? They are way to visual!! Can I go get liposuction done before our date? :laughing: :laughing:
 

Hey PW, I live in Texas and have never been to a Texas Road House! I bet it will be fun!

Legs, of you were going to the grocery store he would open the door for you? Getting in and out?

Not trying to start a debate as I'm all for men respecting women (and women respecting men) but it seems to me that opening doors is really just a superficial show of respect or some might say power. Or do y'all think that men who open doors for women really are more likely to treat the woman right in ways that really matter? I'm a peace-maker by nature and hate to start conflict - I'm just curious. :D

Sounds good to me! I have a thing for dark men!! :smooth:
 
At least you know what he looks like. My date's head in his photo was only 1/2 inch big, he was wearing sunglasses, and he said he's not very photogenic. Wouldn't you be scared? :scared1:
I know I was. Thank goodness I thought he was a nice looking man when we met in person.

Yes. Getting in only.
I've been with guys that didn't do this and I didn't like that. I guess because I was used to a guy opening doors for me.

PW- That restaurant will be good. They have one here. Just find a more quiet area so you two can hear each other. I would have an ice cold beer and eat peanuts. Isn't that the place where you throw the shells on the floor?
 
TB...call me easy, but when a guy opens a door for me, I'm flattered and it will bring out my feminine, polite side. :) A friend of mine was here a while ago. When he was leaving the room for a moment, he said "excuse me!" :teeth: A zillion percent polite in my book. Of course, he's the same one that opens the doors. :) It's very nice...to me. Much better than the door slamming in my face. ;) I actually have greater respect for them if they do this. Interesting. Something so simple can make such a difference for me.

Never been to Texas Roadhouse, TigerBear? :eek: I was reading a review online about our local one. Seems pretty good.

I was also thinking of you and your DBF as I was typing Armenian and Pakistani. :) When I saw his picture, I figured Italian descent. He says many people think that. (I'm also finding it interesting that the blonde hair/blue eyes interest me while DH had dark hair, light complexion though...Scottish.)

Legs...Glad you liked his appearance! :) Just 1/2 inch pic? Eek! I came across a profile of one guy. He had about 6 pics posted...all with sunglasses! :earseek: What's with that? Passed him by. :)

Thanks for the tip! Throw shells on the floor? Oh, no! ;) I don't know if it is or not. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...I wonder if his choice of restaurants means anything. Ha! :laughing: He asked me a few times if I like wine. It's okay. I'm not much of a drinker. Talk about your empty calories! Hate to waste them there. :teeth: As we were hanging up the phone last night, he said he was looking forward to dinner and that he was "intrigued." ;) Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
 
I can understand how it would make you feel feminine - I think that is why I like it every once in a while (especially if I am dressed up). I can also see how if an X did it and you liked it, you would miss it if the next guy didn't. It is good for us to know what we want in a relationship. :D

Legs, I bet you were happy he was attractive! Wonder why he doens't get a better pic of himself?
 
Oh, I was SO relieved he wasn't hideous!:teeth:

PW- Only 3 more hrs.
 
It was okay. Nothing great. Seems to be a nice guy. Not a frog, but don't plan on seeing him again. When the evening ends with a handshake, forget it!!

Not sure finding someone is worth this roller coaster.
 
Did you want it to end with a kiss?
I don't want a kiss on the first date.

Just consider it a learning experience and you made a friend.
Don't give up!
 
How was the dinner?
Anything good to eat?
Did it seem too long or would a cup of coffee been better?
 
No, didn't particularly want a kiss. Not so sure about the making a friend part. :) I won't be contacting him, let's put it that way.

Dinner was good. I had a Chicken Caesar salad, he had some sort of steak.

No, it wasn't too long. It was fine...just about 2 hours. After dinner, we had coffee and then left. :)
 
Sorry, it was another frog. :( He doesn't even have friend potential? Did he do something to turn you off or did you just not click?
