He must be independently wealthy.

My best friend, who is always attracted to weiners, said, "I can see why you like him." Bad sign.
I should make a list of etiquette gaffes you can get away with if someone is a total fool for you.

They charge very little for the film (2nd run films or arthouse) and you buy real food at normal prices: pizza (plenty of veggie options), very fine local beers, other things. You take the drinks to your seats. There are tables. You also take a glowing number. Then when the food is ready, the servers bring you it. There are raffles and such before the film, too. You cannot smoke, alas. But the rest is great.
Edward said:There are many things about a lady that will wiggle my wire, so to speak, but nothing more so than intelligence. If a lady doesn't stimulate me on an intellectual level, it's game over. That said, I don't think I could stick with someone very long if they had such a narrow focus of interests, plus not being interesting in conversing about anything else outside her own fortes could suggest she would have been a fairly selfish person anyhow. Been there...
jamespowers said:lol lol lol lol Weiners.
Sometimes friends can make very poor choices for you and other times if they agree; you just might be right.
Doran said:Zaika -- that's good of you to resist these terribly attractive though otherwise committed men. lol. I have not heard the expression "polyamorous" in a while ... yuck.
zaika said:psht. thanks for the kudos. lol
anytime i hear "polyamorous" i just want to gag. it might be for some, but it's definately not for me. it might be terribly selfish of me, but i don't want to be a side dish to anyone. i may not be attractive, but i'm not desperate!! i'd much rather be single than have to deal with bozos like that.
deadpandiva said:I had a book called how to stay single. One of the chapters was about being tactless. It may come in handy for weeding out the undesirables.
I don't date because I am too nice and if I met someone who liked me and the feeling wasn't mutual I am not sure I could ever shake him. lol
Doran said:My sister in law says "no woman is unattractive ... they just haven't figured out what to do with their looks yet."
zaika said:you have a wise sister in law. lol i agree with her...but if you could pass along my pic and see if she has any suggestions...
Doran said:I will, but, no offense, but you don't look human. You look like a rabbit.
I'll have to read those lyrics.Doran said:OUCH -- you need more practice dahling! I see you like Kurt Weill from your signature tag from "Speak Low" -- well, let me suggest another Weill tune to help you with this problem: "I'd rather be the kicker than the kicked" from Mahagonny, my favorite of his works (Three Penny Opera being my 2nd favorite).
zaika said:LOLIRL!!!! lol lol lol

fftopic: I really would love to see Three Penny Opera. I'd like to hear the Original "Mac The Knife" as I am assuming it sounds quite different.
zaika said:So here are my stories.
Since I suck at meeting men in real life, I went online many years ago. Found a dude who was somewhat interesting, agreed to meet. We had lunch, sat and talked, it was a ton of fun. Then he gets serious and says that he has something important to tell me. I thought he was going to ask me out for another date. No. He wanted to tell me THAT HE WAS MARRIED and WOULD I CARE TO SEE HIM AGAIN?? I told him that I wouldn't do that. Months later he tried again, saying that he couldn't help liking women so much. Whatever.
The best thing?? A few years later I met another dude (in real life this time, go me!), and we were on a date at my house, etc etc, and then he asks me if I knew that he HAD A GIRLFRIEND?? And since they are "polyamorous" would I still want to go out with him? Since I really really liked him I said I'd give it a try. That lasted for a day. Then we agreed to be just friends, but [huh] that didn't last long. I realized that I didn't really like him as a person. lol
Not really dating etiquette mistakes...just bad stories. Sorry...most of my dates have gone well, even though no actual relationship came from them.
