We seem to have an sflori and an sfloriII...

Will the REAL sflori please stand up!

Well, my personal favorite was when you suggested to stick around only if she's rich. Or was it the "Get in the truck" pick up line. You ole smoothie... I bet you work for Hallmark.:p

Until then, he's being impersonated by sfloriII.

Stefano, you remind me of me in my misspent youth. Do not over analyze (I was bashed once by a woman I really liked. never saw her again). In my experience- relax, do not expect anything except having a good time. As to "friendship" - I told my current wife on our second date (in the middle of my divorce) that I would like to start a new relationship with becominf friends. She said "Why not romance first?" GO WITH THE FLOW, MAN! When things go well you will know what to do!
I said not to let her know about this thread because some women could be offended you shared personnal issues with a bunch of strangers on a web site. That's all.

The next one seems to be a better bet. At least I think you will have a better time. And if the previous one will find out that you are going out with other people.. well, we'll see.
BTW, I enjoyed this thread. I wish you'd chose to continue updates.

Good Luck ! It will happen when you expect it the least.
Call me Yoda...

Thanks, Piotr,

Yeah, I'm pretty much going with the flow now. Nice thing is that, unlike the past, I'm really not bent too much out of shape on this. I've spent enough wasted time chasing women who were indifferent to me in the past (and broken my share of hearts), so I'm not taking that route again.

I enjoyed the thread too. Don't worry, there'll be brief updates in the future!

This is in response to Stefano's post:

"Jason,

You and I are probably pretty similar in our approach to women. I've been known to send a dozen roses after a first date. I've always been on the romantic side and love to do little special things for the women I date.

In this circumstance, I thought to approach things in a different way.... take them slow, as I'm prone to going too fast in relationships. Thought that would be the best thing, to try to establish a good foundation and take it from there."

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm actually glad you pointed that out b/c I never thought of it that way. I am definitely like you in that I jump into relationships too fast. I always think about the future and do not focus on just having a good time. I do not know why I do that but I'm going to try to stop that in the future.

As far as the girl I saw 3 times with no kiss, we went out this past Friday and the same thing happened. I tired to move in closer several times but she backed away. She seemed very cold on this date, not as talkative as before. We were away over the weekend but I left her a voicemail Sunday night and sent an email Monday morning and still no response. At this point I'm assuming she's blowing me off. So to conclude this saga, I've decided to move on.

Couldn't agree more! BTW, I'm Stefano-- my original account has been erased somehow.

Good to know that misery loves company, even though in this case it seems neither of us is miserable.

Going hiking this weekend with some girls.....

We'll wait for the next season and please, no reruns!!!

I would hope next season will have a better ending!

Wait! You could be onto something.... the new thing in reality.... uh..... reality computer forum..... or ...... ok nevermind.

HAHAHAHAHA!! I thought I was off the hook here!

Things are fine. After the Barbara episode earlier this summer, I got frustrated and actually joined a website for Catholic singles. It's actually pretty cool because most of the preliminary questions about beliefs, etc. are laid out for you already. No time wasted there.

I've met two girls for dates, but no "love connection" yet. Turns out one of them and I worked at the same organization ten years ago. Small world... I'm currently corresponding with a few others... we'll see. My sister is hooking me up with a girl that I was supposed to get together with earlier this year. Then I met Barb and she met some other guy. Well, neither one of us is seeing anyone now, so that "introduction" is in the works again. I don't know what she looks like, but she was a swimmer in college, so that's a definate plus!


On an ironic side note: While "searching" one day, I came across a new member. Can y'all guess who it was?? Yup! It was Barbara-- the girl I never kissed! Guess she hasn't found anyone else not to kiss either!

We exchanged a couple emails. What's cool is that we're still friends regardless. We were always honest with each other which is why.

Thanks for asking. If anything substantial happens at some point, I'll update everyone.

Stefano,

I'm glad you are having good luck with the dating sites. That's how I met my last 2 g/f and I can say nothing but praise for this venue. As far as the girl I mentioned awhile back, we lost contact for about 3 weeks. Just about when I thought I would never hear from her, she called me. To make a long story short, we now have a great relationship and yes, we did kiss. While I don't want to get into details, I must say sometimes you have to be patient and things will work out in the end. Many of my friends told me to move on but I stuck it out and I'm very happy I met her.
