So...If we flirt, then by God, we better put out, or we're liars AND hussies?

BTW, I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot because of my first post; that came off a little crankier then I had anticipated. :-) I married the first guy I actually dated, so maybe I should just move along.

In dating, men take the initiative, women play defense.

*I met my bride in high school She had long strawberry blonde hair and she used to wear white dungarees and a pink turtleneck and she always used to walk past my locker and give me a big smile and say hello. She was the sexiest, nicest, warmest, smartest, woman I have yet met.

Once, she walked-up to me and gave me a sandwich. "I made this sandwich this morning but I am not that hungry. Your sister told me you liked chicken sandwiches and last night we had chicken and so I made this sandwich.. but I'm not hungry. Here...I'll see you later..."

I kept up my initative for a week or so by standing right beside my locker, nearly tongue-tied, watching her walk up to me, smile and chat a bit. (of course, back then, I'd have driven 500 miles just to watch her walk up and down a flight of stairs) I kept up that initiative until I asked her for a date.

I had worn her down. She went out with me. All it took was a litlte initative on my part :)

You are waaaay over thinking the male/female relationship thing. I learned early on that problems with the opposite sex (for either men or women) is confined for the most part to introverts. I can't think of a single example in my enitre life of an extroverted individual who did not do well with the opposite sex.

It really is that simple.

All too true. I struggled with all of this stuff myself, wanting to get married sine 19 but being forced by circumstance to stay single til 38. The circumstance? The unwillingness of women.

This article should be required reading for every Christian woman in California.

I can tell you this: there seems to be a direct correlation, in women, between religiosity and cruelty towards undesired suitors.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! A horrible reminder of my miserable single days. So perfectly accurate, too.

I thought this was a rather appealing post. If I were a WHOLE lot younger (and not married to Mr. Don-o) I'd send you a mildly flirtatiou personal message.

BTW I'm tying this on my husband's computer.
