DATING 101

I'm not saying you should do this, but if it were me, I'd start a Chit Chat thread entitled: I'm Looking For a Boyfriend Here. Serious Inquiries Only.

In the body of the thread post your age, measurements, general location (not specific), height and weight. Post your photo posed and dressed modestly.

Right off the bat, in the first public message of the thread say what you WON'T do i.e. won't lie down with you until I get a ring and a wedding date, won't text more than 5x a day, won't skip church to get drunk at brunch with you, won't do any naked Skyping, won't like it if you keep your phone locked and you're always on it, won't give away any of my 7 cats, won't like it if you tell me the day before the wedding you have three kids from 3 different ladies I never knew about, etc.

Before you PM or kik or instagram or snapchat or facebook ask the qualifying questions on the open thread for all the Chit Chatters to see and opine on.

I.e. Do you still live with your mother, have you ever had a blister that appeared below the waist and above the knees, do you wear black nail polish and eye liner like men do in Los Angeles, have you ever had a restraining order taken out on you, did you ever accidently go to a gay bar and feel stunned and shocked but then went back because they had a piano sing along and you thought it was fun after all, do you watch reality TV and if so which shows, have you ever read a book made of paper in your free time and school doesn't count, what is the last grade you completed, did you ever win a trophy for a game or contest you lost, if we get married can we have separate beds but still be intimate occasionally on my schedule, list all your current and former prescribed medications for temporary and chronic conditions, list all your tattoos, where on the body they are located and what the significance is for each, same with piercings, etc.

Focusing right in and cutting to the chase in matters of dating and relating takes a lot of the stress and mystique out of it. Plus I've heard there are a lot of single men here from all over the world.
