Maybe they define "like" as "would want a second date" type of thing. I don't know. I didn't read the fine print.

Pfresh, have you considered giving women chocolate? That's my fallback, when all else fails: bake chocolatey things.

I've tried. This is my reenactment of what happens then.
I give them something chocolate (example: brownies) They take the brownies and say "Wow, you can cook?" They eat the brownies and say "Wow, these are really good." They finish the brownies and then ask for the recipe. They then proceed to leave or get distracted by someone/something else.
EDIT: I meant this as a humorous anecdote, so don't take it super seriously. I'm just poking fun at how any time I cook anything, I get surprise out of the females who enjoy it.

quote:My best personal example of this comes from an occasion when I had agreed to marry a guy I'd only actually been in a relationship with for a week (calm yourselves; I knew him for a couple of years before that). The idea that we were going to get married caused a whole lot of problems between us, since it came so early on and essentially framed our relationship. We weren't just two people who enjoyed being together anymore. Even though the two of us had agreed on it, it really wasn't a good idea to go into the relationship thinking like that, and it caused a lot of strain.
This isn't far off from what happened between Porter and I. It is miraculous that we actually ended up married. Posts: 7050 | Registered: Feb 2004

pfresh, if that dating stat is at all true, I've got about 87 more dates before I go on one where we like each other.
Of course, no reason why the good dates have to be last. Although in my case, recent history and karma seem to suggest it'll be that way.

Kinda makes you lose hope in ever making it there.
Or, in my case, kinda makes you plan about 70 short one-minute dates with strangers off the street to get to the mutual liking one.

You could do the speed dating thing. Depending on the size of the group you could go on as many as 20-30 dates.

Just so you guys know, that stat was based on my personality tests, so it's only true for me (or people who are super similar to me).

Maybe if you tried speed-dating while on speed you would meet even more people...
Allegra is also my real name. I really wish the allergy medicine had never come out. Now the first thing I hear when I meet people is, "Like the allergy medicine!".

You can get some fudge, if you can find some way to transport a highly meltable quantity (it's the raspberries that do it) from Atlanta to wherever you live. And this stuff has to be eaten within a couple hours of being made.

You're in Valdosta? Really? I was down there this past summer at VSU for six weeks for the Governor's Honors Program.

Wow. I might have passed right by you, and then quickly scurried away in the fear that you were one of the sketchy characters that haunts Nevins building.
Were you around while the campus was swarming with us nerds?

No, I am a freshman this year. I am actually from Indiana. I just came down here because of the double bass professor. He is really amazing. I am not sure that there is any other person who could convince me to move to the middle of southern Georgia.

Oh, I met him! I think. If I recall correctly, really cool guy. The band program at VSU--especially jazz--is simply incredible.
And trust me, south Georgia is far preferable to Atlanta. The smog layer turns GSU and Tech into little ovens. South Georgia has a lovely climate and a great atmosphere in comparison.
And lots of big city culture, too!

Question: Would the homecoming dance/casino be a good place to go to alone to potentially meet girls? And if so, what do you think the required attire would be?

I don't have a pirate hat or an eye patch or thigh boots or tight black pants. So I lose there. I also don't have fancy nights out or go to clubs, so yeah. I have no clue what the attire would be. I was considering khaki pants and a collared shirt.

I have not read the entire thread. But my advice to the beggining question is this:
Dont try to deal with them. You can never deal with them. You can only love and cherish them and when all else fails just hang on for the ride. (And no that is not some sort of vulgar pun. I wrote my post reread it and relized how that could be taken.)

You know, that's really not true, and I think it does women a disservice to treat them like incomprehensible and random forces of nature who are best administered through regular applications of untargeted affection.
You CAN deal with women. Key to this is realizing that they're no more mysterious than anyone else who isn't you.

Oh, I get it now. I just thought your post was unconnected to katharina's, so I was really confused.

I sing the chorus of The Pirate Song to my kids sometimes, but that's the only part I remember.

I am proud to say that I have seen this performed in person. I've been to Branson, Missouri, and Ray Stevens has a concert hall there. It was great fun.

Branson sucks in my opinion. I've been there 3 or 4 times in my life (since I have relatives near there), and there's not a whole lot of stuff of interest for me. The only plus is there are a couple good places to eat (including one place that has a table that raises while you eat).

Thank you, Tom. I'd like to see your attitude become more common.

Hey, it's a logical transition from women to pirates. We all know that translation. I mean come on. Posts: 1960 | Registered: May 2005
