    In...

    ...for more Office Space references.


    (Oh, and I'm curious to find out how this ends. I married at 19 and have been married for over 20 years, so I can't even pretend to understand how all this works.)

    Lucky. *kitten*.

    Now that you say that, I will gladly hug you tight :)

    D'awww :flowerforyou:

    But damn you, now I have to go watch that movie again. It's been way too long :laugh:

    TBS played it like a gazillion times. It depresses and entertains me at the same time. Too close to home.

    "...I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

    Totally depressing and hilarious

    Since I haven't dated in over a decade, my head is spinning from reading this! :sick:

    All the games that you have to play, it is all way cray for me!

    Good luck ChaPa my dear! If you like him, put your "big girl pants on" and take charge of the communication! :smokin:

    Its not games.

    Lets say you want to buy a goat so you go to the goat farm. Now all the goats are walking about but one of them is just standing there staring at you, not really doing anything. You dont want that goat. You want the one thats running away.

    Its arithmetic.

    Well, LMAO Nice... And true I guess, your right, if he was all over my shizz Id be a little turned off. But Its nice to know where I stand..which is apparently on a goat farm

    Forget games. If I want someone I just jump on him. Literally. Haven't been dropped, so I guess it works for me. :)

    If that IS all he wrote back, "Glad you had fun"...then move on. If he WAS interested there would have been more said in my opinion. I'm dealing with the same thing sort of...so moving on. :flowerforyou:

    He could be busy at work. He could honestly be glad you had fun. Just chill and see what happens. Don't read too much into a brief text. :smile:

    Just putting some random advice out here. Putting out on the first date is fine if that's what you want. But just don't set expectations too high or get hurt if the guy/girl isn't interested in you afterwards.

    All this crap is why I don't date. Well, that and not being able to get a date. But mostly this games crap.

    Well, at least 50/50 games.

    OK, maybe mostly because I can't get a date, partly because of the games.

    Fine, I just can't get a date. But the games suck.

    I don't know, I haven't been on a date in over 15 years, Lol! From what I remember, let the guy contact you. Play hard to get, don't seem too eager!! Wait at least 48 hours. If he contacts you first, its a good sign. :wink:

    So, I went on a great date last night..
    It was fun, flirty, and sexy.
    Of course I wanted to talk to this guy today...
    But here I sit conflicted if I should contact him or wait for him to contact me.
    Whats the normal waiting time for Guys to contact a girl?
    Why do guys wait so long to let a girl know they are interested?
    Is there really a waiting period?

    If you had fun...give him a call. But be understanding when he doesn't turn his world upside down tonight to run over to your place.

    That's not kissing *kitten* hun, and thank you for the compliment...but it is absolutely true for me. I'm sure brother up there has far better luck lol.

    Seriously though. My last three relationship opportunities (meaning TOTAL opportunities in TWO years of being single) were pretty terrifying. One ended up being a prostitute, the next a bipolar schizo with closeness issues (and trust issues, and dishonesty issues, and...the list goes on), and the third...well, I refuse to talk about it.

    Ask anyone on my friends list, they get to hear about it as it happens lol.

    Here's another hug *HUG*

    That's some pretty bad luck and makes me kinda glad I haven't gone on any dates in the past couple years. Your princess will come along. I just know it!

    Some guys don't play the waiting game (and he could be silent for other reasons), but some do. I have dated a couple guys who admitted to making me wait and even had their buddies tell them to wait so they didn't seem too eager. :tongue: If you're concerned, just send him a text saying you had fun and would like to go out again. I would think that would be okay and hopefully he'd respond with something. If he is still silent after a few days, he might not be interested, or just busy. It just depends on what his life and schedule is like. Whatever the reason, just try not to over analyze the situation. c:

    I went on an awesome first date a while ago. I called him about 20 minutes after I drove away. I left a message saying, "I'm sure this is breaking all kinds of rules, but I thought you'd at least answer the phone! I had great time tonight, thanks! Can't wait to do it again." Or something like that. He called me back a few minutes later and we talked for the rest of my drive. we talked more later that night too. (our date got cut short due to a prior commitment of mine.)

    It's been several months, and we've talked pretty much every day since. It's the best relationship I've ever had. So glad we didn't play games. Maybe it's age, maybe it's maturity, but I think if it's there, ya know, and there is no need for the waiting, guessing, head games and chasing.
