yes I agree makes people excited and wondering about what will happen

A big H*LL no to countdowns!!

If I ever meet anyone from here again I'm doing it on some western dirt road at sundown, with one hand on the barrel......

Seriously.....way too much hype for me. Just enjoy what comes to you.

I agree leaves everyone wondering on how things will go

dirt road at sundown

I rarely even let on who and when I am meeting anyone. There was a time I did that and well, usually those were the meets that didn't go so well.

I have done the countdown privately... I do think the anticipation is awesome as long as it stays real. I am one that strenously points out that a first meet is nothing more than a meet and greet, shaking the hand of someone I am attracted to or am intrigued by no pressure.
After the meet and greet is when we decide if we want to do a real date.

It proves masochism is alive and well and has found a new environmental niche on dating sites. Darwin would be proud.

I used your number, too. Proof I'm a good stalker.

That's one of the "little things" I always rely on -- if you latch onto my conceptual continuity, then I KNOW you're paying attention. That's worth extra points; maybe a faux pearl necklace by the end of the fiscal year.

Snap..... I'd settle for a slept in t-shirt though.

But don't mind me.... I want the necklace too, provided it has 843 pearls on it.

I was really thinking me and fullmoonfairy had a girllove thing, but I told her I didn't like Starbucks and now
she detests me.

Hummm well those that choose to do it will
do it regardless. But have seen tooooooo many do it and in the
end they crashed and burned. So for my self no thanks I will keep
mine in private. lol

I have seen the long diatribes of people that were going to go to the far northern reaches (or southern) to be with the one they love. Mostly on another site, but not so much here. Then when the reality of the meeting either didn't happen or could not be proven, you didn't see anything else about it. Pics, or it didn't happen. It only make the person look foolish.JMO

Get this -- I've never even been IN a Starbucks.

And if you go to the Loop in Chicago -- I swear, there's a city ordinance that there has to be a Starbucks, a Subway, and a Walgreens every 60 feet. Some blocks, it's just those three stores, one after another, over and over.

And they say we're in a bad economy.

Me personally, I have never liked coffee. I think I've had it maybe five times in my life.

Except that there used to be this place called Mojoe's, on 94th in Orland Park, where they made this thing with coffee and peanut butter. Gem and I used to go there all the time, and that was the only time I was able to tolerate coffee at all.

but if its a lond distance meet I think it would be more than a meet and greet

I agree

I have never done countdowns when I was meeting anyone from here and I doubt I ever will

you don't like starbucks I make mine at home fixen to make some

Naw... I'm a Dunkin Donuts girl.

they are now selling dunkin donuts coffie at walmart

If I were meeting someone, I wouldn't make it so public with a countdown and all.

They sell it everywhere now, but it's only 10 ounces for about 6-7$.

I have the place near me, and I can get a whole pound... Starbucks is just bitter.
