just like "Just be yourself!!!" is sometimes terrible advice


LOL, I've thought before. I can literally count on one hand the number of women I've taken on a date in my entire life, and my friends say "You just need to be yourself!" However, I'm often times convinced that that might be part of the problem.


Hey James,





I don't agree, trying to be someone you're not never works for the long run..beeing yourself is the real you.. take it or leave it! you're young ..it's woth the wait!





take it from somebody a little older & wiser!





Blondeprincess
Being yourself is great advice. Being yourself does not mean being overly comfortable though (not caring about your apperance, wearing what you would wear if you were gonna stay home alone, not combing your hair.)


you should always try to put your best foot forward, it shows respect to the people you date. Be respectful, dress in a way that shows you care, take care of yourself and your appearance. Repress bad habits and practice manners.


So yeah, be yourself, but don't expect peopleto like if you always just "come as you are"


effort is good. Trying to be someone you are not is bad.

If we're going to get into secret stuff, I vote for disclosure of the really embarassing stuff. You know...must humiliating drunken text message you've sent, worst case of beer goggles, etc [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif[/img]

I just can't imagine why anyone would ask this question. Who cares? If anyone ever asked me (and no one ever has), I'd tell them it was none of their business. Maybe it's an age thing.
I'm with you. It is beyond crass to even consider asking somone. To tell you the truth no man (and I use that term loosely) over 23 has ever asked me. At my age, why would I even consider asking someone that? Low number = what's wrong with you? Or, have you been in a monestary? High number = man slut, or wow, you've been single a looooonnnnggg time. There are no good answers for either side.

Do you honestly think there's any hope for successfully dodging this question? I sure don't. It's just like when she asks "do I look fat"? Anything other than a firm, immediate, and "correct" answer is going to result in me sleeping on the couch for a week.
Just because you give her a firm, immediate answer doesn't mean you have to give her the one she wants, either to this one or the "do I look fat" question.


Her: "How many partners have you had?"


Me: "Enough. Just looking for the right one."


Her: "No, I want a number."


Me: "And people in Hell want ice water. You'll get to know the number when I decide I'm comfortable giving you the number."


Her: "That's not good enough for me."


Me: "Fine. Check please!"


I do NOT allow myself to be held up to emotional blackmail. Any woman (or man, for that matter)that makes this kind of 'ultimatum' demandsis NOT someone I'm interested in spending time with, either as a love-interest or as a friend.


One sign of emotional maturity is the ability to take "no" for an answer. Throwing a tantrum because you aren't getting the information you want is a Giant Red Flag.

I did not know this existed until I Googled it just now. Unfortunately there were pictures. My retinas may have sustained permanent damage, just sayin'.
