Singles Social Club: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

[nurse.darcy]

While looking through a previously unpacked box, I found a bottle of Drakkar Noir.

Southern Comfort, Vicodin, Metallica, and Drakkar Noir. Nothing good can possibly come of this.

P.S. Why does it feel like 1989?

Sounds like a dangerous night. . .lol.

 

[nurse.darcy]

I've never questioned that, just stating why a lot of men are hesitant to ask.

I totally get that. I wish I could present myself with a big sign on my forehead saying "approachable". . .lol. unfortunately, I don't come with directions or a label. It would make life easier. Of course if you all came with a label it would be great as well. Hmmmmm, is there someone out there who can make up labels for us?. . .pretty please?

 

[MICKEY88]

Yep. No one is around for thirty or forty years without having some history. While I don't think mine has made me bitter, it has definitely made me more cautious. And that affects my interactions with guys.

nothing wrong with cautious, but too many women are bitter,

I have thrown caution to the wind and I left bitter at its doorstep. I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone so I choose to meet and enjoy the company of those I meet along the way. But what I really want is companionship. . .just plain ole companionship.

My friend does the hard to get thing. I try to be upfront with what I want. She seems to have more guys that want to date her, so I sometimes wonder if I need to step up my hard to get game!

perhaps it works with younger guys,

 

[LaLalovesWDW]

I like this approach. I'm not just gun-shy, I'm also dense, so every little bit helps.

So is anyone at WDW right this minute? I'm bored and not entirely sober, so I was thinking of heading to MK for Fireworks, Shows, Parades, Rides, etc. If you are here/there, I can meet you in about 30 minutes (that's the time from my front door to the turnstiles at MK, including the Monorail ride from parking).

Ok, so I really don't expect to meet anyone. I just want to rub it in how close I live.

ok, that is just evil to rub it in like that.

Southern Comfort, Vicodin, Metallica, and Drakkar Noir. Nothing good can possibly come of this.

P.S. Why does it feel like 1989?

mmmm, I could use some of that right now

I don't really ask men out but I do give them a chance to know that I am interested. I usually offer to do something really cool at some point and then don't mention it again. They know I am willing to do something with them but leave the ball in their court as to whether they want to ask me.

Example: I really like doing X, think you will love. We should try it sometime.

I never mention anything else about it. Works 8 times out of 10.

Great idea! Maybe I will try this.


Im taking notes from all the great info the guys are giving up, too.

 

[Floydian]

12:40am and Casey's is still serving. I'm really tempted to get a BBQ Slaw Dog, but nothing good can come of that either.

 

[nurse.darcy]

I am trying to fall back asleep. . .its way too early for a wake up call.
The thunder woke me up. . .Casey's is evil to eat at night. . .(sorry Brad). . .Brett has seats for Blue Man that nearly have him sitting on the stage. . .=jealous. . .can I get some more sleep please?

These are the random thoughts that invade my brain at 5 a.m. when I plan on sleeping till 10.

 

[nurse.darcy]

The thunder and lightning are so close it feels as if they are right outside the apartment. I have a busy day planned and need to go back to sleep. . .but the lightning looks like fire outside my window and the thunder sounds like its right inside the house. . .ugh. . .

I love a good thunderstorm. Maybe I should move to Florida someday.

I, too, want companionship but I ak also greedy and want that companionship in a LTR. I have many friends whose companionship I enjoy, but I am still looking for the one special .

 

[DisneydaveCT]

Most men don't like rejection anymore than women do, part of the problem especially for guys over 40 is that so many women are bitter and have negative opinions of men due to past experiences..they have preconcieved notions and sometimes hear something other than what we say

"However. . .the line we like can also be interpreted by us as dang I would love to have my way with you. . .do I really have to buy dinner to do that?"

Mickey does have a point. The closer I got to 50, and now that I have hit that mark, I have found more women my age who say they want a relationship but mistrust men...that men are only out to hurt them or rip them off.

 

[DisneydaveCT]

Anyway, I just might employ your other tecniques. The real problem is I don't have trouble meeting men. I don't have trouble finding men to date. What I have trouble finding is men that I want to keep around for longer than a couple months. Men. . .just so you know how women are wired. You can be a gorgeous hunk of a man but if you have NOTHING else going for you, we will NOT KEEP YOU AROUND. Talk to us, treat us with respect, tell us you miss us, don't be afraid to be emotional. We like this stuff. It keeps us around. Oh, and guys, don't be afraid to tell us (gently) when we are not being "the woman of your dreams".

Okay frying pan guys. . .hear me out. Please do us the courtesy of at least TRYING to ask us out for a date. We might reject you, but if you don't ask, you will never know if we were interested or not. I know it would be easier if we hit you upside the head with a frying pan but our upbringing taught us that we arent supposed to ask guys out or be the aggressor in any relationship. . .we are the meek ones. Some of use get over this, but most of us still want a knight to come riding up on a white horse and sweep us off our feet. . .cause that is what we were "taught" should happen. . .

Great thoughts Darcy.

Darcy, I think you misunderstood me. I don't mean guys who are looking at me.
I was talking about the guy who's already with me and having bad behavior. You know, some guys are too easily distracted. But I also recognize that, since xh cheated on me, I tend to be a little sensitive. Anyway, I hope this clears up my meaning.

I'm definitely not saying any of the guys on this board are like this. Just *some* men I have run across.

Darcy, you used the phrase about the way women are "wired" and that woment are raised to be the pursued not the pursuer. Well, let's not forget that men have a similar wiring. We are raised to appreciate the beauty of the female form. Just look at the subject of many classical paintings...they highlight the beauty of the female form, and not just the Twiggy version. So as I man I will notice when a beautiful woman walks near me, or within eyesight of me. But if I am dating someone, I also make sure that I remind her, sincerely, that I find her beautiful as well.

TDB, you are correct there are men who can be easily distracted, but they are not the norm. Yes, men will notice other women, but I bet most men prefer the company of the in their life.

Now, returning to another subject, TDB how was the Relay for Life the other night? Did your event raise a lot of money?

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

Hey Dave, the relay was absolutely inspiring and a lot of fun. If I remember right, they said we raised 116 thousand dollars. I made it until almost 2:30 a.m. before crashing.

Definitely consider me signed up to do it again next year.

 

[nurse.darcy]

We did have this conversation before ya know. . .lol.

I, too, want companionship but I also greedy and want that companionship in a LTR. I have many friends whose companionship I enjoy, but I am still looking for the one special .

That is exactly what I mean. Permanent companionship. Its tough because I truly know that I have some things I need to work on to make me a good companion in a LTR but I still want one NOW. . .

Mickey does have a point. The closer I got to 50, and now that I have hit that mark, I have found more women my age who say they want a relationship but mistrust men...that men are only out to hurt them or rip them off.

I used to be this way, but I have learned to trust again. I choose to believe that most men are good people and good natured.

Personally, I hope you guys keep looking at women. Its a normal trait. I have a tendency to look at men. Its just a natural reaction. We are wired that way. Doesn't mean I want to "play" with every man that I am attracted to.

I too would think it was weird if guys weren't looking at girls. Please don't stop doing that!

Wow! Mature, understanding, intelligent, and self-confident people?! Are you sure this is 20-teens America? (I made that up just now, so I want the copyright)

On a totally unrelated note, I LOVE Stevie Ray Vaughan!!!
