And the exhaustive "planning"?

Q: I thought we might go to Viva Los Tacos Gigantes for dinner.
A: Sounds great!

I wouldn't say the planning's exhaustive.

"Would you like to go to McDonald's or Taco Bell?" (They're across the street from each other here).

"Okay, I'll met you there."

That's mighty big of you TKramer.

As I've said before, it gets me dates, so I'm more than happy to do it my way. They may be few and far between, but they're worth it.

I don't have a specific "type"--many women are equally appealing, you're all about a 7 to me. So it comes down to PERSONALITY--the kind that doesn't find a problem with being warm and approaching someone that you're interested in.

Trust me, there will be no's and some of them will be nasty. But don't put so much pressure on yourself.

Just go up, have fun and maybe your rejection rate will drop.
I usually don't have to. I will if I need to though. I'm tired of BS games and will rot before I play anymore!

Thanks for sharing , that's insightful. I think I'm finally starting to understand why you think the way you do, including your comment that all women are the same to you and interchangeable. It explains a lot.

Have you ever wanted anything really bad and worked hard for it? Or has everything in your life been handed to you? What would you say is your greatest accomplishment?

Be careful, TJenkins602. After making a similar comment I was warned that some men are prone to violence if you mention the size of their testicles.

I guess you could say that some men are testy about the subject. Testy... get it?

Ha, ha... I crack myself up!
