Are some guys kind of clueless when it comes to talking for the first time to a woman online? Here's some hints from a woman who is down to earth. Say "hello" . Offer information about yourself . Don't ask her alot of questions at first . Offer your information, and tell her abit about you , even tell her what you expect from this. Give her plenty of oportunities to comment on what you are saying. Then you may ask some questiosn, such as, "Have you been happy on this website?" "What do you like about it?" "Have you met anyone from here?" "What kinds of things do you like to do?" "Would you be interested in going out to dinner with me?" (just some basics, that would meet with my expectations) ...Ladies, pwwwwwease help me explain this stuff to them?

pssssssssst! I hope you don't mind if I join in here, being a woman and all, I think I can help...honesty, being who you are from the start, will last...vs...lying....faking.....that will make you age quickly. I don't want a puppet or a man who does or says only what I expect of him...I need a guy with his feelings, his brain, the real deal! ;)

(jeeze, I'm sorry)

A spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down, catch more flies with honey, and a pinch of salt over your shoulder for good luck.....now it's fries that go with that shake, and sex on the side?

3rd night newbie, ain't life full of drama?

THANK YOU --- THANK YOU --- THANK YOU --- ! ! !

Oh, DO TELL!!!

then they play games?

Do you like to read that? Or, do you avoid those that state that?

I totally agree! :)

Well, I would like to ask everyone. Where are the women coming from in this statement and where are the men at when they say it? Is this another difference in the male and female perspectives? I think that I would say no games only if I meant I would like an engagement ring on the 2nd date (but really, I do know when someone is playing games with me, like the 22 yr old from NJ today that IM'd me here and said he wanted to take a run up to my place...asap...in just his 3rd sentence... hahaha.

Oh that's sad!

...meaning no bedroom games? LOL

Alot of men's profiles state "no games" what does that mean? Does that mean they don't like to play mini golf or scrabble? Help me out with this, because I don't quite get the statement? Talk about scaring someone off, I know that's how it effects me!

Hi, I'm here for a moment! I had a day off from work, kinda the last day off before we start the new school session. It was very sunny here in NY today and very warm. I wanted to sit in the sun, but I chose to go to Owego and do the shops. I found some fabulous stuff! I bought a great smelling candle, a necklace and matching earrings. Then I took my daughter out to get her thick eyebrows waxed before she starts her first day at high school next week. Oh, and of course, she needed all kinds of school supplies...that took up most of my day. We got home and ordered pizza to be delivered. Then I sat down and watched "Just Married" on the tv. :) hope your day was exciting!

You very funny man ...

(RAPUNZEL, a sense of humor is a good trait in a man, too! )

( SOME MEN ) are sooooooooo wonderful, courteous,
respectful, charming, < true to their word>,
prompt, protective true gentlemen : ummm, How do I find one of those?

The name "cougar" is okay with me , but it doesn't have to "stick to me" . I have a current friend half my age , he's more educated than I am , and he says he refuses to see women his own age because they bore him. That's just his opinion, I don't back him up on it. However, he calls me frequently to ski, do fairs, movies, etc. I think it's really neat that he's interested in me. There have been quite a few that I've dated that are more than 10 years younger than me . Men that young are for me, just a fling kind of thing, I'm not looking for a long term relationship with them, I don't think that would last. There are alot of differences . Men in their early twenties can be kind of self-centered, they like punk? They don't shave everyday, cause the scruffy look is "the in thing". --Meow.
