You are such a genius.

Hm dunno, but from your posts it seems you are not that straight forward...
Kind of leaving him hanging in the air, if you are interested or not. Thus he is asking...
Not that special for a 1st date (especially blind-date), if you work the "send signals but pretend you dont care that much" thing.
Is a good tactic. As soon as they ask you if you like them, you know they like you
Helps to have several dates a week, if one doesnt work out... Oh well the next one is coming in a couple days... (-> you are more relaxed and natural at the date)


Ok, thats all from some straight guy, who goes more for open relationships and such (had some classic ones but those didnt last longer than 3month, open ones are more intimate and last much longer in my experience) So... decide for yourself if my advice has any value for you

So being honest does not equate being forward?

I told him what I honestly thought -- I did not know yet, and then after the second date, I told him that all I had were platonic feelings.

This thread is so gay.

[Spiffor]

And your avatar is even gayer!

Switch back to the scared kitty at once!

[Lonestar]

I can't...I don't have it on this comp...only on work comp...

[Spiffor]

Well, go to work now you lazy bum! :dointow!:

[Lonestar]

I'm DC, work comp is in San Diego

[Spiffor]

Are you visiting your family?

[Lonestar]

yes, though I'll be back tomorrow. (d'oh)

[Spiffor]

Then change your avatar tomorrow or Monday

BTW, It's great that you could travel such a distance to visit your family on a week end. You're a good guy

[Lonestar]

I've been here since the 31st...

[Spiffor]

Oh. Well, that's still a good thing to do. You could have hanged out with Playas in LA

Oh -- I had a great break with family and friends from Dec. 20 through Jan. 2 in eastern Iowa. Glad you had a good break, Lonestar.

How long were you two together?

Since Last February, but it's really only half a year since we hardly saw each other over the summer.

We used to eat dinner together just about every night when we lived in the same dorm, and even now, I'll see her every couple of days.

She wants me to come with her to a social on Friday, but I have no idea how she feels about me right now. Seeing her yesterday, she got some nice earrings for christmas, and some wonderful perfume, but I don't know if I should compliment her as I normally would.
