    I suppose it helps that I have a concealed carry permit and have a gun on me pretty much 24/7, but yeah, if there is any concern at all about my safety, I'm not going out with him.

    You just got like... 12X more sexy.

    Oh how I love guns!!!

    I wish I lived in a place that was more gun friendly. CA is a bitch about them.

    So is Minnesota... they are trying to lower clips to under 10 bullets.... anyone that would purpose this has clearly never shot a gun. Plus they want to make it a felony to own a clip over ten bullets... guess I'm a felon.
    .

    That's already true here, though if you already owned one you're grandfathered in. So it's more like it's just illegal to see/buy them here. People just buy them out of state XD

    I'll just make them in my garage, welder, a spring and some sheet metal will do the trick!

    Detroit loves guns apparently. People get shot all the time here.

    LA supposedly hates guns, but people keep getting shot up there too.

    That sounds really safe. You should do it.

    Do you do your own reloading?

    I put the rounds in the clips if that's what you mean. I have never been to a gun range so I'm not sure how that works, we shoot at cabins.

    LOL, you can collect the brass of your used bullets and with the right materials/tools reload your own bullets. That's what I was asking if you do.

    But pertaining more to the topic at hand, how do you get to the point where you feel comfortable enough to go out on a date with someone without actually going out with them. Telephone? Email? Just curious because a lot of us are past the point where we can date friends of friends or people we already know. Thus, anyone we have just met that could be a dating prospect is still a perfect stranger.

    Well, I guess I do some things that y'all might consider "dating," but I really don't. For instance, I met a guy doing jury duty once. We talked for an hour so while we were waiting. He asked if he could give me his phone number. I said yes, and I called him a week later and asked if he wanted to go to a baseball game. So we did stuff like that a couple of times, and I flirted here and there so he would know I had not put him in the friend zone. Then he called me and said he'd like to go on a real date, so we did.

    That sort of thing happens to me a lot ... I meet a guy somewhere, we talk for a bit, he asks for my number or gives me his, we hang out in a non-dating context, and either he asks me out or we just continue to be friends. I am just not comfortable with the online dating thing or even being fixed up. The last time I was fixed up, two of my friends promised me the guy was perfect for me, so my guard was down immediately, and everything about him that would've been a red flag to me normally, I ignored because people whose opinions I trusted told me he was a great guy. Well, he turned out to be the only guy I've ever dated who I can truly say was not a good guy. I feel like I have great instincts about men, so I choose my own dates these days.

    That to me is still called dating if you are meeting a guy one on one with the option of it going further is a date to me. So what I would call a first date where I wouldn't want a guy I don't really know to pick me up you are just calling a "hang out and get to know".

    Exactly, it's all just getting to know one another in the beginning whether you call it dating or hanging out....

    This is just an issue of semantics.
