It's not always you, sometimes it's THEM!
There was a guy I was getting to know that disappeared on me couple weeks back. I thought it was because he came to a fight with me and my friends and we forgot about him and started goofing off about information that I usually wouldn't tell a new guy so soon. Turns out... what REALLY happened is that I had also gone on a…

It starts young!
My son (who is normally quite the ladies man) saw a pretty classmate and asked me if he coule say hi to her. When he rejoined me, I asked how it went. He told me he saw her, but was too scared to say hi. Why? Because he was too afraid that she wouldn't say hi back, and didn't want to risk it! :tongue:

Marriage Builders Concepts
The marriage builders concepts showed me very clearly where I needed to improve in relationships. I know most of the vocal members on the board aren't interested in marriage, but these concepts will also help LTRs. Here is my summary of Dr. Harley's Basic Concepts. This is my summary. I will post a reply with a condensed…

Any executive guys out there? Need your advice
Rather not post for public view, but have a question for guys that have experience in the boardroom- especially situations where you've got one woman and a bunch of male executives. If that's you (and you have a few minutes), please message me. Thanks! JJ PS: That's BOARDroom, not BEDroom. Lol.

Wow! Girls won't wait either!
Talking candidly with some single guys about waiting for commitment before having sex. One told me that WOMEN tend to walk away from HIM when he insists on building a relationship before jumping into the bedroom. He says its' the #1 problem he has with dating.

So far, my favorite online dating intro
Just got this tonight from Match. Thought I'd share this with you guys, as it really made me chuckle and respond to the guy (and if he asks he will absolutely get a date). And this doesn't take a whole lot of effort, because you'll see all he really had to do was take the stock pattern and cut-n-paste my username a couple…

It's still "no sex," so what difference does it make?
I REALLY appreicate the encouragement over starbucks/bodybuilder guy moving on after he found out I was deploying, and I just wanted to explain real quick why it doesn't bother me: I don't hold hard feelings against a man who won't wait for sex (indeed I appreciate his honesty, even though I feel it's his loss), so I won't…

I don't think I was too harsh... do you?
My friend tonight txts me to ask if I would be too disappointed if we didn't go to the bodybuilding show tonight. I wrote back that I would be if that meant we weren't hanging out at all. He replied that he'd been stressed about some news and just needed some time. My response was that it was too late to cancel the sitter…

Is money that important, or just an excuse?
I'm in another bad advice situation... I don't wanna tell my friend that what her guy says and means is two different things. Would like your take on whether I’m right: They’ve known each other a couple months, been doing mostly light, fun stuff (dinners, lunches, watching movies together, hanging out). Now he’s making a…

Does Super-Fast-Sizzle Always Lead to Super-Heartbreak?
Ok guys... on another thread I posted this which I didn't realize was gonna make some of the ladies sad. I know the people involved in the post, so I'm not gonna delete it... but please answer HeLovesMe's question... in your experience... when someone moves real fast (whether guy or gal) does it usually result in…

Am I the only one annoyed when you apologize and...
...they act like they have no clue what you're talking about, like you never upset them? I just apologized to someone who royally dogged me to a 3rd party out via email about something I didn't realize I did... then, when I apologized, said she had no clue what I was talking about and if I had done XYZ she would never had…

She's Outta My League! NO! She isn't!
Grrrrrrr. I have this amazing guy friend, someone I really liked but turned out he's looking for someone older. We're trying to set him up with this beautiful woman who is also a very nice girl with a big heart. They would have so much fun together. So we think. But he won't give her a chance! Keeps insisting, "she's too…

How long do you keep hard-boiled eggs?
Just curious... thinking about making a batch on the weekend to eat all week long. This way, I have no excuse when I need a quick protein and nothing defrosted. What do you think?

Ladies... Help Hiding "booblets"
You know... those little blobs of flesh that hang out over tank tops and fitted dresses. I know we can't spot-reduce... so until my diet and exercise kick in does anyone have recommendations for minimizing booblet appearance while wearing sleeveless shirts and fitted dresses (and swimsuits). I wear custom, fitted bras, so…

Their Insecurities Pushed You Away? No bashing please
I'm looking for stories where someone’s insecurities pushed you or a friend away (or when they almost did but worked it out). I already know this sounds dumb; please don’t bash me for being an irrational, emotional woman. The reason I’m asking is because one of the guys I’m getting to know is really well built (competitive…

Crazy Ex Scaring Off Potential Dates
If someone is awesome, but has a crazy ex... would you stop dating him/her? I don't know that I'd discount a great guy on account of his crazy ex, UNLESS it appears to me that he allows her to run all over him/manipulate him. Even if you have kids together, there’s such a thing as intermediaries to help one break free from…

Adventures in eHarmony
Remember my friend who's having a great time with eHarmony? Welll!!!! One of our mutual friends (who I've been kinda trying to set her up with by inviting him to all of our group events) showed up on her Matches list. They're both supposed to be at my house today for singles lunch and a friends' birthday party. This should…

I want another daddy
Posted this on facebook last night...I still don't know what to think about this, and I'm kinda hoping it's just one of those 6yr old passing fancies. Spent the entire night talking with a single dad at the park. Once we're in the car, Peanut says to me, "Mommy, are you gonna fall in love with him? "I don't know honey...…

Loving People for Who They Are
A coworker just told me how his brother got to know this girl online for about two months, had really fallen for her, talking about “she’s the one.” Until he met her in person. Apparently, she was obese, and he screamed at her for being fat and worthless. I can understand why she didn’t send a picture- hoping he’d fall in…

Women who are intimidating?
At dinner with some guys on my team... one says I'm intimidating, and another agrees. Two more nod their heads as I protest, "But I'm the most girly-girl non intimidating person you guys know off duty." I'm told, "guys don't like women to know more than they do." What do you all think?

NSV- Last Minute Half Marathon
Just found out there's a half-marathon being sponsored by my command next weekend. It's quite the NSV for me to go ahead and sign up without even once wondering if I've trained enough. Yeah, I've run lots of races over the last few years, but this is the first time I've done one spur of the moment, without even questioning…

Which truth would you tell him?
In another thread, I mentioned a guy who was sweet but lost me when he insisted on only a thin or fit woman yet he himself has given up on losing weight and improving his health. I told him I was going out of town for the weekend, but we'd talk when I got back. My thought was to treat him to Starbucks and tell him I just…

When toTell Him You're Divorced
My friend asked me at what point should she mention to her eHarmony matches that she is divorced. For me, it's ASAP, since I have a kid and it's important to me that people know upfront he wasn't born out of wedlock (long story) but she didn't have kids with her ex, so the divorce is not something she mentions right away.…

When toTell Him You're Divorced?
My friend asked me at what point should she mention to her eHarmony matches that she is divorced. She says she answered this "Divorced" when eHarmony asked, but there's no status shown on her profile, so she'll need to tell the guys she's currently interested in. For me, it's ASAP, since I have a kid and it's important to…

I don't find anything wrong with this... do you?
The local gossip buzz is about a high-powered woman going out with a janitor. IMHO, if the janitor is hot and treats her right, who cares, right? I keep overhearing people talk about it. And when I mentioned to a friend that the coach at my son’s school flirts with me every morning when I drop him off, she commented,…

I try not to judge, but I can't help but laugh at
people who give advice about something (fitness, dating, a new hobby), as if they'd always done it, when, in reality, they've only been at it a week or two.

"You're too amazing" is the new "It's not you, it's me"
Just some intel for the ladies... In the last week I've had 3 guys write me something like this, so last night I asked one of my guy friends what gives. And he explained it to me. When a guy says you're so amazing that he already knows he can't make you happy (so he won't even try), this is *not* your cue to send him 20…
