It's like high school only everybody has baggage and everybody knows how to think but has forgotten how to act. The goal either to screw everybody on the planet or find someone who you feel good and with whom you are comfortable, as though the both of you has a secret that only the two of you know. <br /><br />Try this:<br />-do let a man talk long enough to see if he has enough confidence to 1. gain your interest and 2. can handle 50/50 conversation. That's an insight to later conversations.<br />-do try to be interested in what he has to say but only if he is interested in what you have to say- same 50/50 stuff.<br />-don't try to impress him by disrespecting the waiter or waitress even if they screw up your meal.<br />-don't disrespect yourself by trying to be something you are not even if he looks like Rock Hudson (he may be Rock Hudson).<br />-do take him for a walk with your dog if you think you like him.<br />-do, if it works out let him know how you feel about him from time to time - particularly if you're happy he is in your life.<br /><br />It's all work, Queenie the dating, the courting and the life of happily every after but it's rewarding and the alternative sucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359924006568486972.post-72886168191714254592010-03-25T16:31:13.379-07:002010-03-25T16:31:13.379-07:00Conversation or no conversation?

They only want to talk about themselves, as in look how successful I am, or how good I play (insert any number of activities here such as golf, sailing etc). You don't even have to ask a question. Just nod, smile and every once in a while say "how interesting or that sounds really challenging". End of conversation on your part.<br />Now if you go out with someone who is, shall we say, nothing to write home about, then converse away. He will be so happy to be out with a woman who is a)good looking, b)intelligent and c)with him, that I guarantee a second date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
