The easiest way to tell is to annoy them to death and see if they still like you.

Seriously. When you truly CARE about somebody, their little quirks seem unimportant.

Maybe so

I'll just sitting around and mumble while drinking wine

On the verge of being single and considering becoming a monk....

....baby don't hurt me, baby don't hurt me, no more....

I bet Haddaway knows.....

I would appreciate anything, if it was sincere, no matter when it was. When it happens should'nt factor in a decision. If I found an incredible woman, I would want to let her know how I feel right away. I may not propose, but it should be taken as flattery and not a red flag automatically.

If it happens alot however, that would be scary.

Apparently, I am fake.

I would, but I've noticed that the more you talk about feelings right away, the more you're likely to be considered 'just friends' material. You can't appear to be soul searching in dating. When you first start seeing people, it is always best to show that you have it all together and not give the wrong impression. I save those conversations for people I know or perhaps the internet. There are much more interesting things to talk about while dating somebody.

While dating sites have made it alot easier for us to meet each other, they have also given us the option to become incredibly picky. Honesty is also a matter of perspective for most people. I can be a decent and great guy and being honest, and I will always share information with others that I feel need to know, but the open book approach rarely happens for me right away. I will open up gradually as I get comfortable with somebody, because I am still taking the risk that I might be meeting somebody that's very jaded or perhaps has some psychosis that I am a liar no matter what I say.

I guess it comes down to trust. Can I trust? of course I can, no issues here, and at the same time I am a very trustworthy person and I expect others to notice that as we get to know each other. If they can't or won't, they can move along.

We have to prove ourselves. Prove that we are not just sweet talkers, that we're not like the other guys. It takes time, and it should. If you jumped right into bed with us, you'd mean nothing.

How many women can pick an honest man out of a group of liars?

Drive themselves crazy, get impatient and make themselves look foolish, screw up sometimes, watch ESPN.

My friend once told me that women are the last to decide they want to be with somebody and the first to decide that they don't. God I hope that she's wrong

Nope. The romantically involved reference was in a different sentence of mine. Men usually make quicker decisions about liking women. Believing that, take into account the increased likelihood that a women's decision to like a man is more complicated and voila, men are often left waiting for a woman's decision while he has already made one of his own.

Think of a puppy begging somebody for the scraps of food that they are holding. The puppy knows for darn sure that he wants the food, but only the person holding the scraps truly knows when the puppy will be given them. Often the person with the treats wants to be amused by the puppy before giving the reward for entertainment.

Courting. It may sound old fashioned, but it's still true. The desire to impress the person they want to be with is often so great, that some people will lie about themselves to make it happen.

Is'nt the dating game so wonderful?

I have been 'dating' two women recently and now possibly a third. There is nothing serious going on, just going out and having fun together. This is all happening while I have an extremely busy work life. These three ladies are all incredibly different people with different interests. By the way we get along, one is likely to become a very good friend, another is very in tune with my cool and geeky gamer side, and the other would be an incredible emotional match.

The great part of being a man is that I don't have to choose one. You men know I'm right, THEY choose us. I can only be romantically involved with one person, and if that happens, it will be only her.

So tell me please, is volunteering information about others you are dating all part of dating honesty, or is it a dating no no and a turn off? When a girl tells me about her other dates, I tend to think she is not really interested in me.

Truly, when looking for a significant other, how can we really know what we want before we have it? Sure we have a list of what we don't want, what we can live with and how other people should act but still. If you found what you want in somebody before and let them get away, that is tragic.

Maybe we should'nt ask those questions to potential suitors all of the time. Maybe we should just go with it and try to enjoy the moments we have together and learn about each other. I can't define what I want without first having it. There are so many different types of people that I would fit very well with.

Maybe we should find what we need.

So the next time a lady asks me what I want, I'm going to take her by the hand and say "I don't know what I want, but what I need is you". Let's see how that works out.

I'm going to marry a gamer girl someday.........

I just need to find her then rescue her from her EPIC adventures!!!

Seriously though. The kindest most wonderful woman I have ever met, I had played Everquest with for years before I finally met her in person. Alas, she lives 6 hours away and I am unable to relocate. Life is cruel, CRUEL I say!!!!

I exist, so there must be others..

Women get to choose between 'nice guys' and 'bad boys'. Right in the middle? puuuuhhhhhlllllease! Most would'nt know what right in the middle was if it was a foot straight in the backside.

Men get to choose between too needy, the victim, jaded, psycho and very rarely the girl next door.

Makes me think about turning gay.

Over the past few years, I have met many people from online sites. Some have been really decent and others, well we all have our stories. Usually after a week of talking to them, we meet up for coffee or something. dating usually follows, sometimes not.

Mingle2 is the only site that I consider people to be 'online friends' at times. I won't have an online relationship however. I need that physical touching aspect(holding hands, hugging etc)in a relationship. It would'nt be fair to myself or the other person to exclude the human element. I want something real.

Because I am 38. You will have to wait 3 years to find a decent guy over 40, then drop me a note.

Exactly. It is because you think that way. that you will find that person as long as you don't give up!

Find somebody who accepts you for who you are. Make sure you are a person who does the same.

Despite the fact that I am dating people regularly these days and I know exactly what I want in life, I keep attracting women who absolutely have no clue what they want in a man.

Real smooth
