It's just a friendly date. Go and have a good time. If there's something there, great. If not no one loses.

I'm probably biased because I wouldn't get serious with a bad boy. I like my men hot and decent at the same time. Lol.

Dating someone you work with is a very bad idea. Making friends with someone you work with could be good idea.

I wasn't my wifes type at all. She had always been attracked to tall, good looking, blonde guys. She married one right out of highschool. He drank alot, but she could change that because she loved him so. Ha, how many times have we heard that one? He didn't change, instead she got pregnant and had a child, and in a couple years another child. He still went to the bars at night whenever he could, buying a round of drinks for everyone. Many times, she didn't have food for the kids. After six years of dispair she gave up and filed for divorce. For the next 17 years she dated many different tall, good looking blonde guys. They all seemed to have one thing in common, they all knew they were tall and good looking and none of them seemed to want to raise a family. She never did find that her type was the kind of person she would want to be married to. When we started dating she wasn't my type either. I've always preferred petite little gals with long dark hair and big b**bs (eyes), she was an average sized blonde woman with long blonde hair and big ***** (eyes). We found we both liked to laugh and that we both got along quit well. I treated her very well and she did the same for me. We eventually decided that we might as well get married and maybe that would keep two other people from making bad choices in mates. We still like to laugh, but I think we have both changed what we think our 'type' is.

I invited him out with some friends next week, because I'm hoping to get to know him better and see if there's any kind of connection. I'm usually not this forward, but he seems kind of shy and I know I may not see him again (do to work circumstances) so I figured, why not?

There are all these stories out there about women dating jerks. Does anyone have any good stories about nice, decent men?
My now husband is a nice, sweet, very shy man. I loved being the person who he felt comfortable enough to open up to. He is a nurse and loves being kind and taking care of sick people. That's awesome that you found him! You may just have to give him a little more time than most guys and be willing to be more aggressive than you may have been in the past, but if you are looking for someone who will treat you like a princess, you may have found him!

Wow what are you thinking? You should only be attracted to men who treat you like dirt or less. Has society not conditioned you?

'Nice' isn't always a sign of weakness just as 'bad' is not always a sign of strength.

I am a nice, caring, friendly, tall, good looking college student guy. In high school, I had several girlfriends, but since I started college a year ago, I've had none. It's difficult for me to find a girl in college who wants to be more than friends with me. I can make them laugh and smile and we hangout, but they don't want anything more than that with me

Nice guys are boring and most women will either get bored with them after a while, move on to somebody else(like a jerk) or exploit the guy's niceness and be the one telling them what to do.

There is no better way to keep a woman interested than being a jerk(it does not have to be all the time, though!)

If you want a woman to respect you, be a jerk and put her in her place everytime you catch her slipping , it will keep her interested.
