I'm going to start dating girls in NYC. I'm in the city a couple of days a month, and can invite them down to AC when I'm playing there

Maybe a okc page for each location

Amazin,

Think this advice has been given to you before.

Don't invite dates to the casino with you.

Excellent idea.

lol'd at several parts of wickedchippas post. actually as ridiculous as it reads, a lot of its really true.

Attempting to navigate a friend-of-girl-I-burned-bridges-with scenario that would be un-navigable to even the most socially adept person (which I am certainly nowhere near). I will post a TR when it hilariously blows up in my face. Unfortunate, though, cuz I really like this girl

Btw, one upshot is going to be don't be facebook friends with girls you're casually seeing

That post had more truths in it than it should.

Been with a girl 5 times now. She's actually really cool. Still don't know what I'm looking for though. Got the old: "soooooo I like you. Are you dating anyone else right now?"

Said no. Which is actually true.

I have messaged some people but not seen them again. That line of conversation ended, thankfully. Definitely was not ready for any sort of serious talk, but she has started to lay the groundwork.

Randomly hit up an old OKC number I had and got a hit. We're going for drinks Sunday afternoon. The girl flaked on me twice back in mid-May and claimed to be too busy to give OKC a real shot. I saw her online, reached out, and we text chatted for about an hour last night

It seems like I'm running into the good problem of too many women. 2 others emailed me back for a second time and I think I get date them both, but I'm already at my max of 3. Going to wait until after tonight's date to respond to either, but I actually don't remember the play because I've never needed it. Stockpile the numbers but wait a while to set up the dates?

Yes the more options the better

amazin,

I think you need to try something like the Summer of George.

Seriously, it's like you try to come up with the worst possible ideas for dating.

Amazing-

Do you bike to AC?

You should pick the girl up in NYC and bike her down the turnpike. Would be an elite date.

Avoid Casinos in all early dates.

Yea, I biked in. Haha, bikes aren't allowed on the turnpike!

amazing at parx buying in for a g

kids making moves

I think The Opposite is the episode you have in mind

Kid should be in Vegas taking a shot

Say hello next time, still don't know your face

I went through a serious dating slump with 0 dates (and 10+ times being flaked on for a date) from March 2013 up until last month. I wasn't sending out messages with the best frequency, but my response rate % was quite low.

Was fortunate enough to have 4 dates in the past month. 2 off CoffeeMeetsBagel, 1 Tinder and 1 OKC. 3 went ok on the surface but not good at all.

CMB #1: A Hit Below The (Bible) Belt

Intelligent, well-spoken, attractive Asian girl (28) that's a conflict resolution consultant for a local firm with some major clients (first time I think I had met a consultant with a job, as others I'd met were freelancers out of work at networking events, :cringe. We had pretty good banter messaging back and forth prior to the date, nothing too serious. Meet her for drinks at Five Horses in Davis Square (had heard good things) outside on a Tuesday night after my public speaking group meeting. I overdress a bit for those, so in a suit and dress shirt when normally I'd be a bit more casual. She shows up, looks just like her pictures, we sit down and order a few beers.

Conversation flows well, she's seemingly genuinely interested in me, we go back and forth dropping callbacks, puns, malpropisms, etc. I tell her this small story about me having to Google-stalk this person at work to ensure we had the right address for her in our database so she could be picked up by our taxi service (her street address in her profile was one of two streets in the same town but at different zipcodes, and her phone was disconnected) to be interviewed and determined if she's eligible for special paratransit service (for the elderly and disabled). I found her correct address by finding a public domain campaign donation listing for a local senator with her contribution, name and address, so she ended up getting a ride, was found eligible, and now could take the van service to her medical appts. She asked me more about my political affiliations, and I joked with her saying "wow, asking me my political stance on a first date? What's next, asking me what religion I am?"

Then she said she needed someone to follow God as closely as she does.

Sigh.

She didn't seem like a fanatic, and agreed with me the term God-fearing is ridiculous, along with basing your entire life around serving God and pushing upon others to do so. I should have just called it a night, but she was awesome in every other department, so I didn't. Not much physical escalation other than her leaning in and brushing up against. Was not feeling it was the right time to go in to kiss her though, considering. After about 2.5 hours, we called it a night and hugged goodbye. She texted me after the date she had a lot of fun and wanted to see me again. I said let's grab drinks in the Seaport and go for a walk along the Wharf. She said that sounds great but then again, there's a lot of red flags I have regarding my faith in God. Now, looking back, I should have just called her and let it rip regarding that bull****, but I sent one long text about how disgusting that phrasing, that logic, and that thought is. Probably one of my best-written rants I've ever gone off on. And that was the end of that.

You shouldn't have done either of these things. I'm about as lolreligion as they come and would never do this. It just makes you look bitter and ripping into someone because they have different religious views/requirements than you just makes you look like the ******* (even if their views are silly). You benefit zero by doing it.

Very big +1.

I don't care about religion as much as the next guy but you have to respect the fact that some people do. And if that's a deal breaker for someone, whatever, just move on. It's not like she belittled you or mad at you for your views.

Just say, no problem and good luck finding what you're looking for. If you want to be underhanded tell her to go to Christianmingle but all your rant does is be a dick to a girl who likely didn't deserve it. If you want to dig into a religious zealot then find a hobby lobby blog.

Also I'm going to be on a podcast tonight talking about online dating from a guys perspective. If anyone has any questions or topics we could cover, PM me
