Singles bar

[JohnL.Burke]

So I'm doing the dating website thing when a girl asks me if I'm adventurous. I say yes since I do like a little excitement in my life. For example, I watched The Goonies last week. I guess these days I'm probably a little excitement shy since most of my life has been "exciting". Exciting in a David Lynch, Stephen King, Salvador Dali, Last Temptation Of Christ sort of way. However, there is still a part of me that wants to turn over rocks that are better left unturned. Oh sure, the lady probably meant "excitement" in a skydiving, rock climbing sort of way while my definition of "excitement" is probably a little more nightmarishly cerebral.
Of course my life seems to contain some sort of surreal flux density creating magnetic properties when it comes to attracting the unexpected. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT "EXCITEMENT" WAS A WAY OF ASKING ME IF I DATE TRANSVESTITES? Was there a meeting that I missed? Shouldn't these dating sites have a list of questions and phrases that are decoded for the unsuspecting, naive love lorn? Anyway, making a long story short.... yadda yadda yadda... I might be engaged to a truck driver named Stan.

Omg.....


Feeling for you there, bro.

Did you got out with her?

LOL! No, luckily for me he made a very unattractive woman. We just wrote each other a couple of times on the dating site. Nothing remotely untoward. How is the weather where you live kind of stuff. I just thought it was weird that "adventurous" was code for transvestite. Is this common knowledge? I guess it is.

Still here still single, I'll have a glass of Pinot and some hot wings please.

I think the best way to meet someone is not at clubs or bars or internet dating but through mutual interests. People who meet at a local sports bar to watch their team play, for example. If you run, you might meet someone at a 5K or 10K run. I know someone who hung our regularly at a certain coffee shop he liked, got to know one of the waitresses and ended up married. Maybe you should look into Meetup: About Meetup - Meetup
They do a lot of different type of activities. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-wEwg6iyvc]What is Meetup Tutorial - YouTube[/ame]

I'm an introvert. My solitude is very important to me, probably comparable to water for the rest of humanity. I am a confirmed bachelor with a 13-year marriage in my past.

So your a girl that won't spend the night.



You've met all my criteria.

Thats out of the norm, usually transvestites keep to themselves.

Not all transgenders do, though.

Transgender mayor selling shoes from own closet to boost Oregon city's budget - NY Daily News

The first openly transgender mayor in the nation is selling a pair of history - his shoe collection - to raise money for the city of Silverton, Ore.

Stu Rasmussen has a passion for shoes and a hell of a closet full of them, including a pair of floral-patterned snakeskin stilettos that are available on eBay for $10,000.

Silverton, a city with a population of nearly 9,200, has a healthy budget of about $22.5 million and $5.8 million for the general fund, according to Silverton city manager Bill Willoughby.

I got one for y'all. After how many dates do you gals introduce young children to your dates, and guys, when or at what point are you okay with it. And would you ever introduce or meet the children of people you are seeing strictly for sex.

Not until it's serious.

If a man came to my door to pick me up for our date, and my children were present, I would introduce them, before we left. Sweeties, meet an acquaintance of Mom's. They would know the difference between an acquaintance and a friend, by then.

Within my control, those sweeties would never, ever, see an acquaintance or a friend spend the night.

If someone would hide the fact that they have kids from someone they are dating, I'd be worried about what else they'd be hiding.

True dat, but how about inviting your "date" to a place you are at with your child or children, and letting them interact and conversate and all that.

 

[BDBoop]

Not the question. He knows they have children, he just doesn't want to meet them if it's not a serious relationship.

I'm also of the opinion that its inappropriate.

Wow, that's interesting. I'm from Oregon. Silverton is a small town. It used to be extremely conservative. Interesting.

Yeah if its not serious don't introduce the kids, so many people make that mistake smh.

 

[AyeCantSeeYou]

Whatever the situation, the kids should be put first and not sidelined because mommy or daddy wants to go out and get laid. That's the problem with many people - single or not - the kids are last. People need to grow up and realize the world doesn't revolve around them.

As far as the question goes, if the person doesn't feel comfortable having his/her kids meeting the other, then someone needs to rethink their priorities. Obviously, something isn't right.

You ever have a woman bringing the kids into the picture before you thought it was a good idea, HG?

True dat, but how about inviting your "date" to a place you are at with your child or children, and letting them interact and conversate and all that.

You wait until it is a serious, monogamous, ongoing relationship. Something that seems to have a future. You don't want your kids getting attached to someone who is suddenly going to disappear. Having men in and out of your kids' lives is not good for the kids at all. Having casual sex in your home when you have kids is a really bad idea.
