So I was running through some funny clips on youtube and came across this one that I thought would be a good way to show people on what NOT to do for a dating video.
Best line: “I deserve love like everyone else! I dont need to rummage through the dumpster for a playboy!!!!!!”
While this is a fake video, I wouldn’t be shocked to see some people actually do this. Seen any that are too good to not share? Send them over or post them in the comment section!
Before you hop on that horse and gallop out into the sunset with your damsel, there will be a few key plays that you’ll need to be aware of that can greatly shift her perception of you. One of these plays is early on is the first group hang out session: her group or yours.
Which should you do? What’s the better move? Did you have to eat chili for lunch? All valid questions… let’s take a closer peek.
Whether it’s on the table, in your stomache, or even in the bedroom (whipped cream anyone?), food is golden. Even if sometimes you want to just lay around and have food delivered to your face, getting your hands dirty and acting like Emeril is a great way to change up the game. If you’re clueless on how to make dinner yourself, take the lady to a cooking class and dazzle her with your “BAM!” skills. Or just let the chopping off of the fingers commence… just don’t brag to your friends about how your date ended up at a hospital and you can no longer count past nine.
The question has been asked many times over the ages. Due to the amazing scenario if actually pulled off correctly, it can leave us perplexed, wishful, and sometimes even waking up in a room next to the very person to whom this article is referring: the opposite sex friend.
Many say it can’t be done, citing the inherent need to procreate that is hardwired in each and every one of us… men AND women.
The fact that one can very easily become attracted to someone after spending a large amount of time with them doesn’t help by adding fuel to the fire. This is one of the major reasons why workplace flirting and banter often leads to wedding bands and white picket fences. (more…)
What does that mean? Never heard of it? Did I just make it up?
National Singles Week was started in Ohio back in 1984 to appreciate and acknowledge the growing number of unmarried Americans, who are now 96 million strong, or 43 percent of the U.S. population age 15 or older, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
I’ll just consider it the opposite of Valentine’s day. For all those singles out there who feel that twinge of envy when their coupled counterparts are celebrating on that red velvet night, now’s our turn to rock out.
The only thing is, we get a WEEK instead of a single night.
So break out the party streamers and the secret booze you keep hidden in your drawer at work. It’s time for a celebration.
I’ve combed through and found some good places to hit for happy hour each night so you can go hang out with that support group of yours and soak in your freedom. (more…)
I received this forward the other day and it’s too funny not to share. This was apparently written by little kids (and my thoughts).
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
“You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.”
Alan, age 10 (don’t forget beer pal)
“No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.”
When I think of museums, one of the first things that comes to mind is this pleasant scene from one of the greats… Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
We could all use one of these days every now and then. While that movie has plenty of date ideas scattered throughout (ball games, obnoxiously fancy restaurants, and doing a rendition of Danke Schoen on a float), the countless museums around Chicago are all possible date locale’s for that first time encounter.
“He’s my best friend and you’re either OK with that or you’re not.”
“I love him, but I’m not in love with him.”
“We have such a long history, there is no separating us, he will be in my life forever.”
Any of these sound familiar?
It’s in the back of your mind and you just can’t seem to shake it loose. It’s not as if you’re talking to any of your ex-girlfriends anymore. Every girl that has been in your past, has quietly bowed out with her time. There are no phone calls, there are no text messages, and there surely aren’t any thoughts that pass through your head which incline you to reach out to them.
The first few times you hang out with someone, the air is filled with ‘getting to know you’ moments. “You love Wilco too!? I have their entire discography!”, “You have two brothers and a sister? That’s crazy, I have two sisters and a brother! We’re a match made in heaven!”.
Before you know it, you’re being asked to hold their nephew’s legs at the Bris, or you’re hauled off to church in order to absolve your sins.
There is nothing wrong with following your faith if it makes you happy. But what’s the path to righteousness if you’re not religious and the person you start dating is their respective religions favorite customer? (more…)
Sometimes when you’re bored out of your mind, or sitting on the toilet without a magazine in arms reach, you pull out that cell phone and start combing through the lost barrage of names in your phone book. Lost old friends, single serving friends you met on a random night, or even that name that just as a single letter “M” who you can’t recollect to save the shirt on your back.
Occasionally these lost souls have a way of coming back from the past to once again appear in that Recent Call list. A friend recently asked me what it means when a guy she used to date or “hang out” with contacts you after a long period of radio silence. (more…)
