So I had a date with a new girl last night. Younger this time (31), and cute, though not really my 'ideal' type. When she left this morning , she said she thinks I'm a keeper. Uh-oh...

Run, run fast.

While I tend to think (know) this is good advice, I have yet to do so. This is my first success story since getting divorced (which by the way, is not even 100% official yet!). I have seen her again, which ended up even more physical than the first time. This time, she flat out asked:"I know this is probably early, and there is no right or wrong answer...but what do you think about being exclusive?"

I hope by the sudden silence that I maintained for about 30 seconds, that she understands that is not what I'm looking for right now, but in the moment, I came back with something lame like "Um...I don't know...we'll have to talk about that". Of course, we didn't.

Still, I am supposed to see her tomorrow, and I think I'll have to bring it up before we get too far along. It is way too early, and not what I'm looking for (at least with her), so I at least owe it to her to be honest and let her know where I'm coming from.

Good lord.Funny thing is this is fine for you. Just be honest and say you aren't interested in anything serious right now and just want to enjoy each other's company and see how it shakes out. Believe it or not, this will make her even MORE into you. Trust me.

I believe you. I just don't think I want her even MORE into me. I certainly enjoy the 'benefits'...however I am not looking for a full-blown relationship with the first girl I hook up with coming out of my marriage. I think the honesty is the best route, and then I can leave it up to her if she wants to continue hanging out. I'm ok with it either way. I was nervous about getting back into the dating world, but at least now I have a little bit of confidence back.

This is some ridiculous ####.Also, can you fellas estimate what percentage of the women you date have children?

0% for me.

This is probably going to be completely dependent on our age. The divorced >30 guys are naturally going to date more moms.I'd guess around 33% for me but it could easily jump to 50%.

This turned out to be a terrible guess. New estimate based on a more statistically significant sample size = 5%.

Just date?

OK, just made a spreadsheet to figure this out. 5.1% if date=kiss. 5.5% if date=info.And since that post in July '07, the percentage has been zero. Using any definition of the word date.

But, you are being honest with her and letting her decide. Nothing wrong with girls being completely into you while you're playing the field....just as long as your head is clear and you know it's not anything serious than that's all that really matters.I find it amazing when guys do the whole "I love you" and "so into you" thing to try and get in the pants when they know that's not what they really feel. Actually being honest and telling it like it is and how you could take it or leave it, and you have other options if she doesn't work out is MORE of a turn on to most women. It's the hunt and excitement that keeps them going...usually once they know you are theirs is when things take a turn.

Think of the shtick potential...Sad thing is, it wouldn't surprise me if she said yes.

 

[Disco Stu]

Katie - Had my first date with Katie last night. This one has some potential. Very outgoing and fun. She definately likes to talk, but not the typical chick type talking. I didn't say much last night. Very interesting and has a great sense of humor. I was giving her a hard time and she was bustin my balls right back. We have a lot in common so I'll see where this one goes.

I forget... is this the soon to be mrs strykerpks?

I'm presently sleeping next to my pregnant wife at my in laws house. Boy how things change.

I'm a little confused on why you would leave her place in favor of a second park though.

Interesting first message received Friday night...

ur pics are so sexy hot, I want to take my clothes off and run naked in the wild.

Might be getting back into this in a couple months

From there we walked to a secluded park where we ended up making out on a bench. When someone walked by just as I was getting to second base, we decided to go someplace a little more private.

Ended up driving to a very secluded park.

This close to Halloween?

Continuing my mini-saga:I told her my expectations, about not wanting to be exclusive, and she surprised me with her response. She said she's fine with that (then why did she ask ). Granted, we'll see...but I told her flat out.

I decided to push my luck a little bit. Said something along the lines of, I was worried that it might come off sounding like I'm only looking for a 'booty-call' type scenario. Apparently, she's ok with that too. Hmmm. So I asked about seeing other people - and she said 'ignorance is bliss'. Though of course if any real 'relationship' came about, I would certainly tell her.

So good...at least for now. We are back to just 'dating' and enjoying the perks that come with that. And I'm free to explore other opportunities, if they should come up.

For future reference, I think a lot of girls feel this way. But to truly have it, you need to avoid talking about it AT ALL. Not much you could do this time though.

She drove (remember this part) because she had a closer parking spot to the zoo entrance and is more familiar with the area.



She drove me back to my vehicle, and I noticed it had been broken into. The contents of my center console/arm rest were laying on the front seat. I only lost a leather jacket, a Garmin GPS, and the chargers for the GPS and my cell phone. No damage to the vehicle, as they must have used a jimmy-stick. I knew the area by the zoo wasn't the best, and I should have parked under a light. Oh well.

Sounds like an inside job. Don't be surprised to see her boyfriend wearing your leather jacket.

My reply was simply "tomorrow night". The fewer words, the less likely she'll get confused again. At least that's what I'm hoping.Expecting a text at 10:45 tonight asking where I am.

Seems like the downside of dating hot chicks is that they are young and dumb.

The confusion ended up working out very well for me. I originally said 10:30 to allow myself time to watch Game 2 at a bar with some friends. That didn't quite work out as planned.After the game there was a group of Baylor nursing students, some shots, possibly some pda with a 21 year old from that group, more drinks, and well, the time kinda got away from me. Finally at 1:18am everyone was splitting, so I sent a "what do I have to lose" text to the girl I basically stood up. Banking on the confusion to possibly bail me out...

Stu: Weren't we supposed to go out tonight?

Girl: I waited.

Stu: I was out with friends. Guess I was waiting too.

Girl: I just thought I'd wait for you to say something. I'm drunk and sad and horny. I've been pissed all day.

Stu: Want me to come over now?

Girl: My place is a mess.

Stu: I don't care about that.

Girl: I do. Take me to your place.

Try OkCupid. It's been for me so far. Not the volume of Match, but very solid for a free site.

I cant believe this thread is still around.

I LOVE MATCH.CHICKS.ORG

Bump. Wow. I got to know at least one of these well...

Second row, far right? She kinda looks like Mrs O, no?

Negative -- and Mrs. O was a good ol fashioned brick n mortar meeting.

All those chicks are hotter than Mrs. O.

So I decided to go on match.com. I sent out about 50 e-mails, and got one back. The one back was from a 21 year old that I think is pretty damn hot (I'm 27, btw). But geez.... she's a senior in college. WTF do I do? I'm definitely nervous about this "meeting." Fortunately I've been on a date since I got single, but I do think this is pretty damn awkward. She said she's free at around 7 on Thursday. I guess I just suggest drinks at some local bar? Any tips?

Get this first one out of the way. Go in with no expectations and just have fun. If she brings her kids, get the hell out of there. If she asks you about abortion or politics or pedophiles, get the hell out of there. If she pees on the bar, get the hell out of there. If she has been tag teamed by brothers (literally or figuratively) get the hell out of there. If she wants ice cream at 10:30 in a secluded park, get the hell out of there.

Otherwise, you're golden

def drinks @ a bar....if she's not as advertised bounce after a drink or two. If she is, get out of that nice bar and take her somewhere cheap and fun.

Yep, casual with an easy escape route. Drinks at a bar you don't frequent but seems relatively more loungy/higher-class than a college bar would be my play. This option is so versatile. i'm sure if you read back you'll read about how this situation can lead to a late dinner if you hit if off well, or, as I recall happening twice with me where the chick was just not my type, have a casual 15 minute convo over one drink and say good-bye.

so true. Stick disappointed about abortion girl, she was so ready to make it a really good first date until that topic came up

Thanks. I think I'll suggest drinks at 7 at a bar that's pretty convenient for her to get to. She claims she has to leave at 9 to go pick up her car at her parent's house about an hour outside of the city -- seems like a made up excuse to get out if I'm a weirdo. I approve of her skepticism.

Any tips on how to make it not awkward? I picture me sitting in the bar, cute chick walks in, and I go " hey... christy... how .. are ... you?" And then ordering her a drink. And then I say "so what's it like being in college." :faceplant:

Why does it need to be awkward? Quick hug when you spot each other, grab a table and drinks, and chat her up. No different than any other first date. Just be casual, charming, and good looking. :(And 21 is not too young. Especially since you're only 27. Don't worry about that at all. Obviously it's not an issue for her.

Thanks. This is good advice. I will definitely take a shot of whiskey before I head to the bar.

Your picture probably isn't too far off. As Stu said a quick little hug isn't too awkward at all. I'd recommend running through her dating profle, pick a hobby of hers you kind of know and chat her up on that. If you guys click, it'll become easy and feel like a normal date.
