Maybe all first dates should be at the Tarot card reader. Find out whats in the cards first. If it loks sunny, go on the date. If it looks murky cut bait and run.

There's lots of no-no's in dating these days. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I am a guy and I like to date. Looking for that g.f material is high priority for me.

Dating is a necessary evil, but I'm not fond of it.

I have always viewed dating of the "getting to know" variety as a pain in the ass. Going out with someone you already know is fine.

Men and women, what do you think?
If i was a woman, i'd probably like to date too! They get hit on 15 times a week and get to choose whoever they deem worthy out of a whole pack of suitors.

Of course men don't like dating. Why in the world would WE like it? Women are the ones getting flirted with and having their ego stoked left and right. Men are the ones getting rejected left and right. Sounds like a much more fun experience on the female end!

You really think women get hit on that much?

I haven't had a date that originated in person in years...ALL of my dating has taken place online because men simply don't approach me.

Only the most attractive women get approached, the rest of us don't.

You'd be a lot happier if you stopped telling yourself fairy tales. The only women getting hit on many times/week are women like MsAnn.

You need to ask yourself why you're not getting flirted with. Women flirt with men all the time. If they don't get a reaction (i.e. they get rejected), they move on to the next guy. This is a normal part of life.
