agreed misty, WTF,,, seems to me those questions may come later
in the messaging, but not in the beginning, just wrong.
my own list of questions goes something like this.
parents? children? marriages? own your home? political leanings?
religious leanings? believe in karma? own a car? education?
pets? fav drinks? food? t.v. shows? movies? music? tats?
pot? fav flowers? colors? take any prescription meds?
guns and hunting? and last but not least, alien life?
as these are answered, they bring up other questions involving
personal habits, sex etc. the fill in material as it were.
well, that's my story and i'm sticking to it.


awesome

never thought I'd find a man who'd accept a gal from another planet!!:wink:

Your contact is going to be through emails. I think that is a good thing.

If you are not willing to ask every possible question and answer every question honestly, then you are just shooting in the dark.

What are your nipples like? Are you a moaner or a screamer? How do you want to be touched? How much of a neat-freak are you? How important is it to you to have a clean toilet all the time? What kind of a spender are you? How jealous do you tend to be? What kinds of things irritate you? How will you feel if I get sick and have diarrhea in an embarrassing place? You get the point. These are the kinds of things that can be pivotal in the beginning. This is not a time for holding yet-to-be-discovered mysteries.

You can ask these questions via email in a way that you can't in face-to-face dates. Mingle gives you a golden opportunity to make a connection that will be fullfilling and enduring. Don't waste it.
I agree with you for the most part Artlo, but some of your questions like "moaner or screamer" will have you quickly labeled as a perv. And the nipples question, let's just say that's not e-mail fodder until you actually have a reason to ask. In fact, avoiding sexual conversation altogether is advisable. Women read that type of stuff from guys everyday.

What makes me an expert? I met the girl in my picture on here over 3 years ago and we have been together since then.

I'd say specific sexual conversations may need to wait a bit. General discussions aren't to big a deal for me. But if someone came out within the first couple of emails, that would be it for the conversation. I agree with Smokey on the basics, though.

i wouldn't write an online dating advice book just yet artlo. laugh


Speaking as someone who HAS written a book on internet dating, I'd just like to say that the word "nipples" does not appear anywhere in mine.

Maybe in the next one....

Well, I can see that these kinds of things aren't important to many people. Obviously, you don't want to be talking about this stuff in your first few emails. Personally, I don't want any ugly surprises in my relationship, and neither does my girlfriend. I had enough of those in my last one.

I started with the sex stuff because, let's be honest. That's what most of us are thinking about.Obviously, that didn't come up until we both had a pretty good idea that things were going that way. But, how is it going to be when you get into your later years? It's all about familiarity. That is the biggest reward of a relationship. Mystery just isn't all it's cracked up to be. The first time you see, "It's none of your business", either you're moving too fast or you should be seeing some red flags.

Alice and I had l this kind of thing mostly worked out before we even had our first date. And I can tell you, Our first date was absolutely amazing!

We are in a new era. What seemed to work in the past won't work any better today. I hope you all find the love that you seek. If, in fact, you are actually seeking love. And, I hope your surprises are all good ones.

There's a time and place for certain questions. If someone who just started chatting with me asked what my nipples were like, or if I'm a moaner or a screamer, that would be a turn off.


Agree, time and place for everything, asking those kinds of questions just makes a person look "pervy"
