Yanno, maybe that guy really WAS trying to do all those things. Good grief, I'd have asked about the cruise - where to, how long, which line, who with, why that cruise - THAT is called conversation. It's also a way to find out if he's giving you BS or if he really has plans to do all that. We just recently planned a southern Caribbean cruise - it's on hold right now because we daleyed in confirming because of a family issue. So now we are waiting for another sale or upgrade (we are even frugal with our vacations). It'll probably happen, but our plans are not set in stone. If it doesn't work out for Sept, we'll possibly head to a southern US beach or even take a drive and go see our house. As far as riding his scooter, why can't he do that most of the summer and spend time at a beach and take a cruise and, ok, Europe is a bit pushing it - but ask him details and maybe he's just exploring those options. OR, maybe he was just playing a TVboy and making it all up.

Say scooter to a boy who claims to ride his "Harley" and you'll know in an instant whether he has one. I have 2 girlfriends who ride and they get all bent out of shape when I call it their scooters - hehe. Yeah, I'm an instigator.

Hey, Sol. Look out the window. Didja know it's great weather for a stroll along the water - betcha there's something going on - duck boats back in operation yet?

Silly boy. If you're referring to the ancient Songs of Solomon I suggest you read them as they might prove quite a surprise to you where his sexual preferences were apparently concerned.

And, "The Books of Ecclesiastes, Proverbs, Solomon's Song and some of the Psalms have traditionally been attributed to King Solomon. However, modern scholars dismiss Solomon as the author of any of these, on linguistic, content and historical grounds. For example, they say that Ecclesiastes was actualy written in the second century BCE, many centuries after the time of Solomon. King Solomon did not really write any book that is part of the Old Testament."

Sounds like your namesake was a bit of a wanker, all in all, so let's amend my post to read, "The World According to TVSG".

As usual, the cryptic one-liner surfaces. You really do have a problem with anything over and above one paragraph. Maybe someone on here can assist you with that problem as it must be quite a day to day detriment and could be something easily fixed with some remedial intervention. Good luck!

I asked about the Harley thing since I care about bikes a bit (I believe he has one), but he looked shifty when I asked about the rest so I don't know if the rest of it was true. Perhaps the jazz thing is true, doesn't take any efforts to do that. He didn't even know which city in Europe he's planning to go, so, uh..

Who exactly has an exciting weekend every weekend whether you are 20. 30, 40? Why can't we be REAL when getting to know someone? We are always trying to make the other person think that we are exciting and have theze exciting lives.


I think this has always been my main problem with the getting to know process
When you're using a service, it's an interview and people treat it as such.

Nobody wants to be stuck with a sad-sack.

If you don't do anything on the weekends... just say so.

See how that works for you.

Wow! I guess you must be referencing the "World According to TVSG" or "The World According to Solomon" since you've conveniently ignored the biblical references of your namesake (which you brought up).

1. No seakers ... on the beach? Oy vey, so much translation needed here. Seekers or sneakers? If seekers, seekers of what? If sneakers, why not?

2. What revealing what?

3. So what you're saying is that a date isn't allowed to ask you about your family or what you do for a living, period? Why not?

4. Well of course that's pretty rude in most people's social parameters.

5. Obviously this is a very important thing for you. Why?
