When it comes to dating someone new, are you hard to impress, easy to impress? Is there something specific that seems to impresses you? What are things your dates have tried to impress you with that backfired? I can't say I look to be impressed. I am fairly easily contented or impressed, have you, with a genuinely nice person who shows consideration, quick wit, humor and good conversation. I think for the first few dates that's all we really need to know about each other. If I didn't suspect a man had these elements I probably would not have agreed to see him in the first place. |

Fastest way EVER to turn me away, tell me about all your 'stuff' that you have accumulated. I begin picturing them without all their 'stuff' and usually there is simply nothing left of them. ('Stuff' is usually, cars, planes, motels, businesses, jewelry, oh yeah flash all that gold too, homes, etc.) My extremely wise Grandmother(20 years ago)gave me a little method to help uncover what you really know about a person you’re dating. In your mind, take away his car, his home, his toys and clothes, put him in an old pair of jeans and T-shirt and throw him in a cabin in the woods for a few days. Now what do you know about him? If you don't like what you know, you can always just leave them there to starve  ....in your mind of course.  About 20 years ago? With your Grandmere's advice, you're lucky that you didn't run into Ted Kaczynski. He loved to go to his little cabin, dress in old clothes, like jeans and a T-shirt, and make all sorts of things for people he knew...

I'd known him for quite a while, as a friend first, so I'm not that sure if he was trying to impress. Anyway, I normally wait quite a while, before jumping into bed with anyone.

That one I'd have left to starve I think.  It always made me think of Thoreau actually.  My Grandmother went from a very simple and humble way of life straight into the jowls of inner city life. I don't think she ever REALLY recovered from that sudden shock in lifestyle.

I'm really not hard to impress...Like, say, you can cook...Immediately impressed.
Play video games? Impressed...Read? Even more impressed. Hate? Not so impressive. So, just don't hate anyone or anything and you should impress me. |

Most just try to feign interest in my own interests and when trying to set up dates or excursions it all just falls apart. That's an easy one for me to dodge. There are not too many men who are all that interested in ballet. The costumes maybe, but not the art. You got that right!

Thanks for the visit,BTW; was going to send you a flower and say Thanks, but I'm blocked; nearly 100... |

I'm not hard to impress. For example....this one chick I went out on a date with got a few drinks in her, livened up and then proceeded to inform me she could tie a cherry stem in a knot. I can't do that, so it amazed me when she accomplished this feat.

When it comes to dating someone new, are you hard to impress, easy to impress? Is there something specific that seems to impresses you? What are things your dates have tried to impress you with that backfired? I think you will find most of us older guys hard to impress, especially my fellow veterans of any age. Nothing impresses me, that way I can gauge all women as equals. Dates have tried to show me how smart they are but do little 'ugly' not so bright things. I know I do the same, but then again I don't try to impress anyone, so nyah-nyah! |
