In reply to Tabby cat, tabby cat how was your date....????, posted by lostsailor on April 15, 2003, at 8:23:37
the 'tails'? oh aren't you the punster.
Date was OK. Went off without a hitch. The guy's interesting enough, but it's kind of fizzling out. He doesn't make me laugh at all, very somber and serious. Not quite what I want right now.

tee hee. mormons passed on by. My blockbuster clerk is too valuable as a fantasy, I don't dare risk ruining that. Perhaps the universe will provide... or else match.com?

Well, I take it at lest this man didn't have a little dog he was unhealthily attached too.
I just started internet dating, its been kind of interesting. I forget though that its not like a store. I can't just pick one, you still have to go through the whole dating process which I think is torture. I'm just not tough enough for that sort of thing.

Ho ho, you had to remind me of little dog man. Of course now that 'new guy' is out of town I'm suddenly desperate to see him and having many impure thoughts. Usually a sure sign things are fizzling.. that last burst of life in my fantasies.. I'll most likely see him again and feel nothing.
Good for you for making the effort re internet. Got any good sites to recommend? My therp makes the same suggestion to me.. but I say.. I've already got one guy I'm barely interested in, so why do I need 3 or 4 of them? And if I really had the energy to hunt for a guy.. shouldn't I hunt for a dentist or a housepainter instead? Or.. maybe I could search for a dateable dentist. .. 2 birds with one stone and all that.
Lame excuses I know. My love life remains in the state of stagnation.. my flesh withers.. untouched. Poor poor me.

I've only ever really looked at one, which is Emode. I think its really good they have lots of fun personality tests you can take and see who you match up with, actually you can take the fun tests regardless of whether or not you want to date anyone.
I don't have anything to compare it to though. They do have a nifty
accessory where you can click on someone's picture if you are interested, and then your picture is shown to them with all the other people the next time they search.
If they click your picture too then you are both notified, and that way there is less risk of rejection. I don't know maybe all the services have that.
The men are really bad at emailing, I found that after that "mutual match" I always have to do the emailing!What I find pretty bizarre though, is that some guys just want to talk dirty, once they've written and liked your picture, I mean they don't even want to meet.
I cannot understand why they need to join a DATING service to talk dirty to someone they don't want to know well. What difference does it make what you look like or if you have shared interests if they never want to meet, geez paste a poster on your wall and pretend dude its cheaper...and its not like there are not plenty of services available to *ahem*... amorous males on the internet.
OH WELL...

Ewwwww- a little dog man?? I can tell this is a sensitive issue so I'll try not to pursue it.
Best sites for internet dating are apparently http://www.match.com (does this thing do links? oh well) and http://www.matchmaker.com. This is according to my hubby anyway...whom I met on udate! Internet dating is much nicer than meeting people face to face- like in a bar for eg. You can keep it anonymous for as long as you want and really get to know someone before you commit to an in-person rendezvous.
You can be as specific as you want...piercings: yes, kids: no, wants kids: yes. Then there are the "ask me later"s. it's pretty cool. like made to order! I have a very cool 33 year old guy here on the East coast...I don't know where you live but I could give you his username for Match.com. you never know......and btw, I'm sure your flesh isn't withering.

Eww, dirty email from strangers? Yuck. I'll bet you their good-looking pictures are fake. Thanks for the warning anyway.. I'll try to not be shocked if it happens to me.
Little dog man.. The man who loved his (stinky) little dog above all, and brought her on all our dates, and took her to his office every day in a special doggie backpack, and had her featured prominently on his professional website, and once (this is the lowpoint) when we were on the sofa being cuddly, dog was there too, man said excitedly "Look, I've got two women! And one of em's naked!" But I was fully clothed. Join me now.. "Ewwwww!"

If I were single, I'd ask for his number. We'd be a match made in heaven.

LOL. Ok, you're right, I wouldn't.
But my husband used to complain (with some merit) that he took a back seat to my little darlin' dog.
Worst date I ever went on was a guy who upon discovering that I was a dog lover, proceeded to tell me a joke he was sure I'd love - the punchline involving the death of the dog. I'm afraid it coloured my entire impression of him and there was never a second date. Of course, I only dated a total of about five guys in my life, so I don't have a lot to compare to.

I can totally see that...
I had a series of "make or break" questions for my husband before we met. A few more strikes and he would have been out. His mom has cats so he liked them. Dogs too. So, did he hunt or fish? Ok, what were his favorite movies (this one was important- I think it tells so much about someone)...political affiliation was fairly important, I knew he wanted kids (yet another plus of internet dating) and he had gud grammer. Well you know you can't everything in common and frankly your relationship would be boring if you did. He's quieter than I am. Well who isn't really...We're a good balance. And he would never tell a joke like the dog one! In fact, in movies I'd rather see a human get killed than an animal. Twisted??I had a wacky social psych prof. in college who had some er, interesting opinions. She asked us if we knew any old women that lived alone with big dogs. Then she said, "You KNOW what's goin' on, right? Not just companionship"!!!!!!
Ewwwwwww times like, infinity
i'm proud to say that it took me a little while to get it.

Ewwwwww. I'm proud of you, too.
I forgot the dog question, unfortunately. It never occurred to me that someone might not be crazy about dogs. He lives with them, but they're relatively scared of him.
Hunting would definitely be a deal breaker. I know I eat meat (although I wish I could give it up) but to enjoy killing wouldn't be what I wanted in a man.
I'm afraid my two big ones were perhaps a bit shallow. He was smarter than I was (big turn-on) and he was funny as heck (also big turn-on). But evenutally if we hadn't shared the same values and goals we would have never gotten married. After all, we had thirteen years to get to know each other. But somehow he fooled me on the dogs all that time. Sigh. There is none so blind as a girl set on her mate.
