Drop Dead Diva (Show)
Anyone ever heard of/seen this show? I discovered it today when looking for something to watch on the treadmill. It's about this hot, blonde model who dies and faces judgement. She thinks she cheats death by forcing her way back to earth but wakes up instead in the body of a plus-sized lawyer. I just now googled it and…

Bright Red Lipstick
<LOVES her red lipstick!!! Actually, this is a tinted gloss. Very easy to lick off when needed and reapply. I also wear “no smudge” lipstick around my son or during a race. Yesterday there was a comment about she’s not the one if she wears bright red lipstick. Quite a few ladies (myself included) responded they love bright…

Would you have told her? How would YOU wanna be told?
About 4 months ago, I met my friend’s boyfriend of a couple months. A while later, he emailed me through Match.com , asking if I remembered him. I didn’t. He refreshed my memory of how my friend (his girlfriend) introduced us, and told me she was a nice girl but not his speed. He wanted to know if I’d let him take me out…

S/He might not be the one if...
complete the sentence with examples of how you know s/he is NOT the one...for example: ...if he has, "come visit me in jail" in his online profile

Cellulite getting worse, not better???
Has anyone else experienced this? I am making definate progress- lots of muscle tone developing in my legs, but only in the right views! In other views it seems like I have WAY more cellulite than before. Seems like my legs were smoother when I was larger! What gives?

In retrospect...
I know the normal tendency is to dog out the people who dumped us or never liked us (though they should because we would have been "sooooo perfect" together), but do you ever go back and think about where you might have been a small part (or a large part) of the problem? I was thinking about some previous relationships and…

Trip Canceled... Would you believe me?
I landed from my business trip today and find out that instead of climbing into the car to hit the beach with a friend, I'm going home (she had an emergency pop up). She has to cancel our trip. Trying to make me feel better, she said I could now go out with those guys I turned down for the weekend. I think I still may…

What is your definition of "Casual Dating?"
Was chatting with some of my MFP friends about what it means to date casually because it seemed like we were doing the same thing, yet they didn't seem to think it a good idea for me. I was really surprised that to learn that when most guys hear a woman, like me, say I casually date, it gives the impression that I date…
-
Cool Girl or Disrespecting Self?
I posted this in another thread: Someone was surprised that I would write this about allowing “drool time.” I feel more than “a few minutes” of appreciation is taking it too far… but at the same time I think it’s pointless to try and pretend that guys don’t appreciate the beauty of someone hot. What do you think?

Why do guys do this?
Went out to dinner with a platonic guy friend (we paid our own tickets, just “killing time” together not a date). After dinner we go outside and spend the next three hours talking about deep stuff, and he mentions how beautiful I am and how I’m the whole package and he’s being a little touchy feely/huggy. I'm like, yeah…

When to tell the truth??
So I got one of those Evan Katz emails today... and while I understand the purpose of the first date is for FUN, I kinda take issue with some of what he said, even though I know it's true. For example, that guy who told me he sleeps with the CPAP machine, hasn't camped in 10 years, hasn't done any sports or been to…

Any Good Exercise Shows on TV?
Hi. I haven't had cable in years and just got cable with a DVR. Question is do you know of any good exercise shows? There used to be exercise shows on the major stations, but I can't find any to record. Do you have any recommendations? I have lots of at home videos, but am looking to shake things up a little without…

Houston Singles (for a friend, not me)
Oh Houston Single Guys! What are you doing on the 21st? I'm looking for some help giving a friend a special night out. Yes, I'll be there but this isn't about me. She's cute, spunky, blonde and blue eyed. haha. If you are gonna be in Houston (or if you know a nice guy who will) and wouldn't mind helping a sista out, please…

Excuses you had to overcome?
I was talking about a friend who gave me an excuse for working out. She said she won't go workout unless she has someone there waiting on her. I have another friend who used to say this, but she's overcome that and really made great progress losing weight. The convo got me thinking... what are some excuses you had to…

Another one for the men... pre-existing female friendships
What do you think when a guy you've started dating insists his pre-existing female friendships are important to him and he will not break any plans/commitments/etc with them just because he met you? I, personally, don't take offense to this because I value loyalty and commitment and even if I met the perfect man tomorrow I…

What thaaa?
So there's this guy that was pursuing rather heavily on Match... but I had several conferences so I wasn't gonna be able to meet him for a week (our date would have been yesterday). He sent me this Match.com message a couple days ago: How are you supposed to respond to that?? I figured this was his way of saying he lost…

Does Sleep Apnea Ever Go Away?
Can anything be done to cure Sleep Apnea? I know a lot of people sleep with the machines (CPAP, APAP) but can you ever make it go away? Like snoring... when I start snoring, I know I've put on too much weight. Can you lose enough weight, or take enough supplements or "do enough something" that Sleep Apnea will go away?…

Believe the negative, ignore the positive
Finally had some time to spend with that Evan Marc Katz website someone on this forum mentioned. In one article, he says: What do you think about that? You can read the article at: http://www.evanmarckatz.com/blog/he-acts-like-a-boyfriend-but-he-doesnt-like-the-title/#more-11287

How long does it take men to fall in love?
An IRL friend wrote me about this guy she's been seeing for a few months. She thinks she might be falling in love with him, and is wondering how long it normally takes for men to fall in love. Here is what I told her: Your thoughts?

Men, is this true??
This might be another one where you prefer to in box me, lol. A dating blog (run by a man) said the following: What do you think about that? How much truth is there to what this guy is saying?

(Vent) I Was Beginning To Wonder If I'm Overreacting
But, no, race/ethnicity is still a big deal. I just had another one of those "Oh, I thought you were Puerto Rican" moments where a guy who's been smiling at/flirting with me all week instantly shifts from huge smiles, open stance, some kino arm action, and talking nervously to (after 3 times of "Are you sure you're not…

Would you want a total stranger to correct you?
If you had a grievous spelling error in your online profile tag-line, would you want someone to let you know? I would, but I know most people wouldn't. And I see it sometimes and REALLY wanna tell the guy, but I know he'd just think I'm a grammar-nazi and never ask me out. Your thoughts?

Dating someone you're embarrassed to be seen with
I've got too many IRL friends here to go into details, but has anyone here done this? If so, why did you date that person? What precautions did you take to avoid being seen? Did you eventually start liking them? I'm kinda vain and think every guy is thrilled to show me off, but if you ever felt like someone was embarrassed…

Road Warrior Group?
Hi everyone... just finished a workout with free weights and pillows for a "bench" in my hotel room... which reminded me there was a "Road Warrior" group I joined when I first came to MFP. Unfortunately, that group seems to be gone. I found two others, but they don't seem to have any activity. Are there any MFP groups out…

10 Harmful Things Single Mothers Do To Ruin Their Sons Lives
Yet another article that reinforces my mindset to help my son build relationships with good men. I thank God for the coaches, friend’s fathers, and guys from Sunday School who interact with my boy.

Date-speak translations?
We all know "let's stay friends" is a euphamism for "I don't wanna see you again, but I'm too nice to say so." What are some other date-speak translations? What made me think of this question was that I had a great time with the guy I met for lunch today...until the end when he hugged me and said "bye, keep in touch!" So I…

Friend Zone
Can someone get out of the "Friend Zone" with you? As a woman, I've fallen for friends I wasn't initially interested in just by virtue of how awesome they are. I hear men don't work that way. Your thoughts?
