So I'm single and dating... mostly losing interest in the first date or within 3 because all the guys are just iffy... read my other post (I like no one).

And this dating has been punctuated by really weird guys ie:

The needy and clingy, had to let that one go.
The religious nut, had to let that one go.

NOW the [court] jester seriously this guy just keeps TRYING to crack jokes and saying whatever he thinks will elicit a laugh. I'm kind of tiring. It wouldn't be so bad if it was sporadic but it's too often (and I've only known him for a week) I just don't know when he's telling the truth or making a joke sometimes. Grrr

If you say "I like no one" then there's no one to blame but yourself.

Your 0 for 3 is just a minor slump. But if you have pre-conceived notions that you will not like the guy, then you will never find a guy. There are plenty of "normal, relaxed, sane" guys out there... I think the real question is are you ready to meet them?

Give the guy that is cracking jokes all the time a couple of weeks. Odds are he's nervous and just doing it to avid awkward silence or someone told him that funny is what every girl is looking for... If this is his worst quality then give it a couple of weeks. If it continues then say something.

The jokester is probably trying too hard to get you to like him; be frank and say you want to talk to him seriously about his life and interests. If after having an adult conversation with him things don't click, then move on. By the way, one of the types of men that women find most weird are comic book fans; they are some of the sweetest, most intelligent people I have ever had the honor to know. Search one out; he could be the best person you've ever met.

Right here. But I'm married to a normal, relaxed, sane woman. Sorry.

maybe you should shake things up, try hanging out in a straight bar or picking up dudes at the rodeo

if nothing else, it will make for a good read
