I have been dating the same guy for 7 months now. I'm kind of frightened when I think of the time that has passed. My mom and sister have some negative things to say about him like "{You're not thinking of marrying him? Just have fun for now, don't rush things." I can't get a straight answer about what the heck that is supposed to mean, but good Lord, I'm not getting married!
The history of the world, my pet, is learn forgiveness and try to forget

I've gotten to a point right now where I'm OK with being single, if only because I don't have time for another human being in my life, and probably won't for several years at the very least. I got all that "need to be with someone" sh*t out of my system while in my 20's and now it's all about ME. How awesome.

I'm not afraid of being alone, nor do I feel like I have to be with someone. I do however, like having a partner in crime, whether a girlfriend or just someone to hang with all the time, and it's nice that I have those kinds of friends here. They make the not dating much more tolerable. -cg

True dat, man. True dat. Hey, if nothing else, you have me as an online partner in crime. Sorta. OK, so we don't really get up to much mischief, but you totally know that we would if we lived closer! (We'd most likely spend our weekends drunk at the NB Moose, paying our respects to Praying Boy)

I may have figured out the cure to my dating "issues". I need to date guys under 24, because as perfect as this last guy seemed ( 26,liked star trek, liked Twin Peaks, wanted to get into stargate, from iowa, was rediculously good looking) the age/maturity thing may be an issue. Just because I don't like being around large groups of strangers and get uncomfortable with being touched by people I don't know, does not mean I am not ready to be in a relationship. It means that I don't like large crowds, being touched by strange people or crappy music. God I need to find good guys my age that aren't a. on drugs b. drinking half the time c. idiots d....wait I already said idiots I know that I'm not exactly a dating guru, but who chooses a loud rock concert as a first date. Whatev..I'm over it. Just mildly annoyed that I wasted $12 + gas money on a concert that I didn't even enjoy.

It was wrong of him to make you pay for a concert you weren't interested in for a first date. The danger of men approaching their late twenties: some of them look at every girl they date as potential wife/brood mare material, and call it "maturity." And if he hasn't outgrown the drinking/drugs, he probably won't (see: is a loser.) Otherwise, experienced older men can be fun as long as you keep them honest.

Rachel, Dating's a hit & miss business. Hang in there. You're young, smart & beautiful. Me, I haven't even had a date this year. Lotsa rejection & yet I keep trying. Had a woman I loved some years ago die in a bizarre suicide/murder incident in Portland a few weeks ago. Also, discovered that a woman that I'd invested a lot of energy in about 7 years ago, was in a porno movie around the same time. Just ran across a copy of it. Of course she wasn't using her real name, but I recognized her photo. She was in Midsummer Night's Dream with Nick 3 years ago & was a real prima donna. It was like the J. Geils song Centerfold taken a step further... Happy dating! Play safe...

Harsh. I don't understand drinking on dates. It seems like the worst idea. It is like asking one's self, "How can I make myself seem more uncomfortable, here?"

Amen to that. I mean, I get the whole "liquid courage" thing, but man. If you need that, make it one shot you do before the date starts and then go sober the rest of the night. Who wants to be a sloppy drunk in front of someone they like? Even worse, all the stuff you end up blurting out that you wouldn't ever think to say when you're sober. Guh.

Didn't mean to offend, Chris! "Drinking half the time," I took to mean hero drinking, not being comfortable sober socially... you know, the stuff that stops being dangerous and exciting after high school (and starts getting dangerous and retarded.)

I wasn't offended. I have never been a binger, with the exception of festival weekends. I blame the Canadians. I do like a couple of beers while out watching a band though, as I assume most people do. It's why bands play in bars, no? -cg

sounds like this dating-thing could be really romantic or a total disaster. I find it interesting, different cultures always amaze me. I know dating is becoming more and more common nowadays here in Sweden, we even use the english verb "date", hehe...Most of my single friends says they're dating and I guess I'm a bit jealous...I've missed out on the whole dating thing! Depending on how one define "going on a date"...can you still date the person you lived with for like 5 years?

Hey, guys. Can I ask you some relationship advice?
Long story short: Ben Horne problem. Apologize to two people whose relationship I interfered with years ago, or let it go?

Hmm tough one, are they still together ? If so don't remind them about it, IMO if the guy (assuming its a guy but you know what I mean!) says 'aw she's not all that bad' the girl (who could well hate you) may get annoyed with him cos she'll prob see it (as my gf def would) as you trying to interfere with their relationship all over again and this may get him in more trouble. If they are not then go ahead, more likely to be received at face value in that case.

Thanks for all your responses. No, they're not together. I broke them up when we were kids, but they "still talk."

There are two or three people I've apologized to years later who definitely deserved it, and even if things were civil by that point, it generally seemed to be honestly appreciated. YMMV, of course...

On second thought, Susan is absolutely right. It's not like I would go back and do it any differently. In fact, that incident set a precedent of brutal honesty and opportunism for all my future relationships. I think I'll say 'hi' just to make her life a little stranger.

Well... the trying to date around my age thing didn't work out either. Woopdi fucking doo. Now I'm just kind of baffled and my self confidence (which I think has been coming along quite nicely) has taken a sever dip. Seriously! WTF I hope going to rambo will cheer me up and hopefully it has enough violence in it to appease me for the night.

Sorry to hear it, Rachel. So down that even Rambo looks good... boy... You can come see our latest Val's Day show: Cupid Goes Berserk, Feb. 1,2,8,9 or 14 at 8, 4th floor of the Seattle Center House. As for dating, I've already had about 7 rejections this month (went to an 8 Minute Dating night, but none of them chose me). Tomorrow I'm performing at a friend's birthday party, full of theater types & burlesque dancers!!! If I can't score there...

I was talking with someone about Myspace last night. He's met his last 3 long term girlfriends there. I met my bf of 3 years there. We decided you have the same odd of connecting with someone (in a biblical or emotional way) or meeting douches/basketcases as you do at a bar, and the notion that people are less fake in real life is a false sense of security. Have either of you suave people had any luck there?
