SINGLES GROUP

polo571

Ok I think we need to start a group or blog or something of people on here are in the same boat with weightloss and are single. I think we need a motivation group for life and lifestyle. Anyone else agree? Any suggestions? Could we maybe vent about our horrible dates or having to subject ourselves to online dating? Anyone else feel this or want to start or share something?

Polo, don't you have a nosey sister, friend or mother who can set you up on some dates. I've found that many times friends are you best resource for directing you to a good date. Otherwise, I suppose the alternative is on-line dating.

openskybeach

I agree!

sweetsapphire85

Sure I'll give it a go! Have plenty of stories...:-)

I have no issues with online dating. I haven't used a match-making site before, but as with anything, you'll meet weird people at a bar, online, or at the grocery store. Just gotta be picky

I'm in. I've been out of the dating scene for 17 years.

A little bit has changed. Now, women always pay for the first date

mrmanmeat

Hopefully that doesn't get me in trouble

haha! Women DO pick up the tab sometimes...but it sure is nice to offer to pay...or at least HELP pay!

Yes, they do. It's a nice gesture, usually if it's not a serious relationship I will pay, I don't mind.

But of course, I kinda prefer to not go out as much anymore, to eat anyways..


I went from one gf that never paid to one that did (in a few months time) and it was a nice change. We split, every other.

Imsojen

I was asked out by this guy years ago and i'll never forget it. He asked if he could take me to dinner and a movie so figured it would be a nice way to get to know him i said yes. We went to a chain restaurant (ie: Chili's Applebees etc.) He ordered 2 drinks, an appetizer and a seafood main dish and I got the practical budget friendly salad. Made conversation while he would sometimes slip in a demeaning comment about the waitress between bragging about his job. I politely would defend the waitress when the comments were made and continued to listen.

So when the bill came it wasn't even open on the table and you know that moment where you kind of are trying to figure out who is going to grab it first? Yeah, he already had decided...put his index finger on it and slid it to me across the table. I figured, well that was really rude, but hey...maybe he's going to pick up the movie (like split 50/50 which happens sometimes). Yeah didn't pay for his ticket either. Gestured me ahead in line to i purchased mine then had the nerve to ask If i had gotten his. I told him no, i figured we were each getting our own. Movie ended and so did date....

Next day he called me and said he had an amazing time and would like to go out again together. I told him i had no doubt he had a great time considering his practically free night out...needless to say we didn't go out again...

I was going to insert a funny comment here, but since he did ask you out, he should have paid.

That's just rude.

sweetsapphire85

Oh i would have been fine paying for mine. But paying his $35 compared to my $10 was weird. Go dutch if you are going to splurge...

I recently set a goal for myself. When I lose another 20lbs I'm going to start dating. I was in a long relationship and haven't dated in about 15 years. Any advice you all have to offer would be appreciated!

stariera

Sounds like a good idea.

Heatherbelle_87

Oh the joys of dating.

AS fun as it is Im so ready to finally be taken

I'm in school with 99% females and work in an office of all females. I can't even find places to meet guys my age besides the bars (and we know how that goes...) where do all you guys look to meet other singles?
