    You need to date girls used to the hustle and bustle and those used to business trips.....might have to move North for that, but then you don't have your Southern Belles with the "cute" accent..........

    Yes, he should, lol!! :-P

    I'm not comfortable asking guys out on a "date." I do ask guys to help me out/give me a ride/fix something in the house, but not on a "date." I'm a bit old fashioned in that sense.
    That's funny... Perhaps I should ask girls to come to my place and do some cooking and/or cleaning! :laugh:

    I have tried that before, they either asked for money or got offended lol.

    LOL! I get asked to cook and do laundry all the time. I just laugh at them.

    Uh oh... I know I'm weird... I do a fair amount of cooking for the guys in our group... when they need food for a party or something... and conversely...when I need furniture moved, car worked on, or a power tool I know who to call. Fair trade in my book. But then, none of us are dating each other.

    Maybe that's why I'm not in any rush to get hitched... with such great guy friends there's very little I need a man of my own for.

    I probably would if I ever ran across someone I actually want to ask out. Thats my issue I have little to no interest in most the people I am around on a day to day basis and don't usually go to the bars and even online most the guys I really didn't want to even meet. Maybe I am picky but really the guys around here do nothing for me.


    dittos!!!!

    I don't.
    I should, but I don't.
    In fact, I have this stupid thing, where I give guys I'm not interested in the wrong signals... I'm really comfortable and fun around guys I'm not interested in.. and turn into a complete freak when I like a guy - I'll AVOIDE guys I like! I know, like wtf is that about?? lol I try to avoide eye contact... yeah, it's a mess lol. *sigh*
    I'm doomed... :p

    This is how I am. Around guy friends I'm funny, etc. and around guys I like I turn into a hot mess who's heart is beating so fast and can't talk.

    Me three LOL!

    to the OP..........do you?

    Yes, I have.

    But I know how they'll usually turn out. 50% chance she'll say yes. 50% chance she'll ever want a second date. 10% chance she'll still be interested after I take a business trip. 50% chance I will. 0.50 x 0.50 x 0.10 x 0.50 = 1.5% stick rate (third date).

    Know that feeling (after the business trip).

    I have terrible luck. The guys I have been interested in turn out to have girlfriends...

    I would have to be drunk :laugh: And it really annoys me because I know some guys are shy and wouldnt make the move either. I've missed opportunities for not being spontaneous and I've regretted it as soon as I walk away *sigh :ohwell:

    Nope, but I'm not sure if I want a relationship. Some days sure, most of the time I'm comfortable solo. The likelyhood of me approaching someone random in the street and asking them out is very very slim. When the time comes, I'll probably get to know someone on the interwebs first. Less awkward :D

    ^^ This pretty much sums up how I feel on this topic. :)

    I did a couple of times in the last round of dating I did (I go through phases); none of those really ended well. After taking a few months off, I signed up for OKCupid again and have just been letting people come to me. I haven't really seen anyone on there that makes me want to ask them out. Hopefully, that will change.

    You paint a pretty bleak picture! Personally I'm not ready to put myself out there yet. But you all are are young and attractive. And as supportive as everyone is on this sight, I can only imagine you all have personalities to match! I don't understand why your statistics are so bleak. You all should have no trouble finding someone you enjoy!

    I have. I would rather have a life of regrets and lessons learned and rejection than What Ifs! No is not the most hurtful word in the dictonary.
