Well, in your case, she's probably still talkin'. Obviously, you passed the probationary period and got the job.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Nataly 38 #54 February 7, 2012 QuoteI understand that, but there are still expectations. “Encouraged to chat” is one thing, but look at what people talk about. You have certain expectations of WHAT they will talk about, and those that chat about other topics are bad “dates.” Or expectations that they will talk. You’re having an expectation of what they won’t talk about and that becomes difficult. You know, quite honestly, in the right context, pretty much anything goes... There are no rules... Heck, my ex who I will probably always think of as The One likely made every "mistake" in the book and somehow it was cute!!! Sometimes you can't put a finger on it - it's just great or it's just terrible... Then you can look for excuses but the reality is that some things (like chemistry) can be quite unpredictable. One more reason why I think meeting is important... You can have incredible texting chemistry, but writing can be soooo easy to misunderstand... I do believe our face-to-face impression of someone is far more trustworthy... Of course, there are no rules... If someone REALLY clicks with you, texting and MSN'ing and calling can also be a way of getting to know someone... Dunno... Dating can be terribly fun, even when it goes spectacularly wrong... I giggled my ass off with a guy who lied about EVERYTHING on his profile - and even posted someone else's picture - because according to him being on match.com is a shameful thing!! We both agreed it would go nowhere, but we had an entertaining evening complaining about the pitfalls of dating!"There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh that was good! Tea all over the desk! HA HA! That was good! I've had dates with girls like that all she did was talk about how amazing she was......but she was cute so i just lived with it untill I realized she was a bad lay. What a waste of my freaking time! But yes sadly 90/100 most dates with smart / cute girls are like interviews. And well it is what it is....she thinks all you want is to get into her panties....very true....and she is trying to see if you are good enough for access to the VIP room. We call it the bitch shield.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

If you have chemistry with someone but meet them and the click isn't there, then obviously it will not go any further. My wife is hotter than your wife.

JohnMitchell 16 #70 February 12, 2012 Quote I had a 1980 Cadillac coupe deville. The body capacity was definitely a worthy topic! Ain't that why all the gangstas used to drive those?And don't forget the back seat. Talk about a large playing field.Joke time: Guy and a girl are parked in the moonlight, making out like mad. Guy asks the girl "Do you want to get in the back seat?" She shakes her head and says "No." They make out some more and the guy asks her again. Again she says "No, I don't want to." The windows get even foggier in the next few minutes. The guy asks again, and once more she turns down the offer. Finally he asks "Why don't you want to get in the back seat?" She looks at him and says "I want to stay up here in the front seats with YOU!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nataly 38 #71 February 13, 2012 QuoteEver think those "bad dates" you list above were just trying to blow you off..... Errr... No... The first is still a friend - but it was a BAD first date!! The second was me (and I was just having a bad day)... The third called me for a second date... I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but the second date was worse so declined his offer for a third... The forth texted me the following week saying he had had a really good time and we should do it again (I believe my answer was "remind me what your name was?!")... The shy one... Well, never heard from him again... And the guy saying he'd been on match for ever... Well, we had a fun evening complaining about match.com and we kept in touch here and there to complain further but otherwise didn't have much in common. So yeah... *Possibly* the last guy was trying to blow me off, but I think the others were just not great.
