torn asunder

then maybe it's time to let it go for a while...

well, for me, that would entirely depend on what kind of ball it was... tennis ball, football, soccer ball, bocci ball? i mean, what are we talking here?

that's why i said it - you wouldn't have made any sense saying that, if i hadn't...

add one "yes" vote, with the stipulation that it will entirely depend on the roads, and whether i can afford to make it out that way again in the near future. i like the concept of speed dating as well, but i wonder, for the people who aren't the best at making conversation, are there any "cheat" cards, for example, for conversation starters? or maybe a quick "common questions" list, or some such!? that would prevent a lot of wasted time fumbling for what to ask, or being too nervous to start. just thinking out loud...

omniscience...

...

H-B-D!!

agreed!

fyi - three posts have been "unapproved" while staff discusses a reported issue.

getting ready to jump into the shower, then head out for a few adult beverages...

beer and/or rum. oh, and i should probably eat dinner...

we've got another thread on just this topic, here!

wish i could help, but i don't know anyone. you definitely have a case though, if they don't have the required coverage. i hope you nail 'em to the wall!

donuts... why the fuck did someone have to bring donuts into work! i don't need to be eating donuts, damnit!! (you know i did though...)

the problem with places like city club is that a lot of people are very outgoing and flirty, but are spoken for. i, for one, am not interested in "asking someone to dance" or what-have-you, if they are already with someone, out of respect for their relationship. a "singles-mixer" would be a lot better, if we could think of ways for people to know who is/isn't single/available. that make any sense? i should also add that getting to know people on here can be pretty difficult. it's much easier to get a vibe off someone in person...

very good point - i forgot to say anything about that. if it's going to be more than an hour or so, i'll at least try to text & say i'm busy but will call around XX:XX. i try not to completely neglect things!

*drum roll*

eh, i made the points i wanted to, i have nothing further to say.

shouldn't that be "mster beaucoup!"!?

i will say though, based on my own personal style, he might not be playing games. some guys just don't need constant connection for things to be good. unless things are getting really serious for me, it's nothing for me to only talk to someone i'm dating maybe twice a week. it's no game, it's not me intentionally being inconsiderate, i just don't need to be in constant contact, and i do have a lot of things that occupy my life. i can be very busy at times. along that same train of thought, if i were dating someone and they got upset that i didn't call right back (not just once or twice, but all the time) i'd be turned off by it. to me, it comes across as insecurity (not saying anyone is). confident, self-assured women can handle a day or so without talking. (again, my feelings, not saying everyone does or should agree.) just wanted to share that viewpoint!

no, i completely get your point, and i agree, for the most part. i'm kind of playing devil's advocate here, but there are certain things that simply shouldn't be allowed for teh general welfare - for example, lots of people want pot legalized, but that's a slippery slope as well, for, if it's legalized, why not make *all* drugs legal? well, in my opinion, some of them like heroine and crystal meth have no redeeming qualitites to them. (i'm sure some would disagree, and some would list other drugs.) point is, we currently don't allow free choice in certain areas, for the general welfare, so why should this be any different? ebcause it doesn't kill you as quickly? because fast food doesn't make you high? what kind of a reason is that? do you see my point? i hope so!
