no, and then you get married and it is a whol differnt set of problems.Originally Posted by globetrotter,Feb. 25 2005,06:41
LOLDamn it, I was afraid of that answer.Second that motion.... Â I hate the thought of being in the dating scene today, especially being as damn fine as I am, the women out there are way to aggressive. Honk Honk, that is me totting my own horn, mainly 'cause noone else will...lolI will wholeheartedly agree with globetrotter on this. Although I would choose the problems that come with marriage over the problems with dating any day.
Some sort of ISO 9000 procedure?I tried to use a uniform system for all women I took out the first time. maybe not romantic, but efficient.

I'm starting TO BE REALLY PISSED OFF at women and their rings. It used to be that if a woman wore a wedding band / engagement ring, you could tell what was going on. Now they wear so many rings its neatly impossible to tell what the situation is, especially in a town like Boca where people tend to have higher than average household incomes. Plus, I'm in class and there is a chick I like but she has a ring on, and it looks like an engagement ring, and then you have to abridge that particular point, and I have no idea how to smoothly do it. Jon.Depends on how well you know the other person. Coffee should serve as your default since there is really no set time for the date... if things are going really badly, one of the parties can always make up an excuse about a prior engagement, a forgotten task, etc. Dinner can be tricky. For example, I like eating at a lot of the quaint, neighborhood bistros and cafes around Manhattan. Translation: good food, reasonable price, with a cute and cozy (aka romantic) environment. I eat at these places regardless of my company, and have more than once been handed 2 forks to split a dessert with one of my buddies in the West Village. I was shocked at first, but I've since learned to enjoy the food and ignore the customs of lower Manhattan. Anyways, if I get this treatment hanging out with a guy, you can imagine how staged the meal might look on a REAL first date. I think the safest meals are Sunday brunch when the prices are a bit less than dinner, and your schedule can either appear busy or free depending on how well the date is going. And, yes, dating gets easier with practice. Then comes relationship building... I suck at that one, so ask elsewhere. Marriage is a whole different story... there is currently an arms race at my school. No less than 5 women in my class have added 1-2 carat rings to their left fingers in the last year. 2 carats? Damn, I better find my own lady lawyer.
I can't ever tell, either. I just ignore it. They're always flattered, anyway.I'm starting TO BE REALLY PISSED OFF at women and their rings.

You: [placing hands folded across your face] "Oh my god, I'm blinded by your engagement ring." Her: "haha, yeah, my boyfriend proposed ..."Plus, I'm in class and there is a chick I like but she has a ring on, and it looks like an engagement ring, and then you have to abridge that particular point, and I have no idea how to smoothly do it.

Jon.
Agreed. Just ask - what do you have to lose? I'm no Don Juan, but I do fine with the ladies, and I get shot down probably 70% of the time. I simply don't care: I'm not everyone's cup of tea, that's fine with me. I liken it to baseball, you're not going to hit if you don't swing. And batting .300 will put you in the All Star Game.Jon, part of the whole dating thing is that you will get shot down a lot. getting shot down because she  is engaged married isn't so bad.
Just treat her as if you missed the ring.Plus, I'm in class and there is a chick I like but she has a ring on, and it looks like an engagement ring, and then you have to abridge that particular point, and I have no idea how to smoothly do it.
