I would settle for:


1. a reason to shave my legs


2. a smile from someone who enjoyed looking at me.


3. a conversation that did not involve work or child care.


4. A dinner companion that could use simple utensils. And, hopefully, not spill his juice.


A Friday or Saturday night where I didn't watch the cars speed by, knowing that others were doing at least some of the above, and feeling like Cinderella at the hearth.


I don't care about 2nd dates. I'm living in the moment. Or, not.
You make me laugh Lada. Is spilling the juice a deal breaker?

This conflict of physics and chemistry is totally messing up relationships. We need quick-acting artificial hormones for women.


I am totally the Wine Dude. Boy, not so much. South of France is good too, but I would rather have an apartment off Champs-Élysées.


{shudder}


Have the hormones of a man! No thank you. But how about government-mandated testosterone reuptake inhibition? It would be a kindler, gentler world. How far would you go for sexual compatability?


My old boyfriend (we're talking like 1990's) has a place off the Champs-Élysées.
Good for him! When I grow up I want to have one too. Another one in Prague, and a third in Istanbul.

London is boring. I would rather take NYC. I am in London every other week on business and I hate the food when I am there.

In my dreams, I'd get 2, 4, 6, and 15, but I'd settle for 12.


4, 6, and 15 in a date. Who-who-whoa! Go slow my friend, go slow. You are doing 95+ in a 25-limit school zone.


Yeah, you're right; I should clarify. I meant it would be great if someday, some first date eventually led to all that - in a year or two later. I wouldn't run off to Vegas that night .


However, I would come home and post about it!


The problem I had with your post was that it sends shivers down my spine if I get an inkling that the other party has love, marriage, kids, 2.5 suburban Victorian with 3.5 pets et cetra when the relationship is still just in the the dating stage.


Friends first is my motto.


I just meant that someday, I'd like to get married again. And I assume that relationship will start with a first date. But I am well aware that most first dates aren't going to be that one (if it ever even comes), so I'm not making any assumptions about any first date in particular. Making friends is cool, too.
Making friends rocks!

All of the above eventually....but only with "the one".


You want to share #20 with The One?


By the way, there is no One. Just like there is no spoon.
Well Zeb is a personal trainer. I am sure I could share him.


I know that there are many possibilities for "the one", but once I decide on "the one", there will only be one "the one" for me.

When you grow up!??! You are 35! You have already grown. Are you some sort of man-child? At what age do you think adulthood starts?

(Am actually working now; this post is a figment of collective imagination)


Everything gets boring once it's routine. I like London, but you're right about the food in general, although I think they have good Indian food. I like Paris, but it also pisses me off. People are rude.


I'll take the place in Prague, for sure. Istanbul you can have. Great place to visit, the bazaar and mosque and all that, but waaaaay too sexist for any western woman to live there for any amount of time. I spent three months in Turkey once. Loved it, left it.


Rome has the passion and energy of Paris without the attitude. Also has good food.


I'd rather not have a place anywhere, but simply keep going to new places.
