Hi Y'all,
...and here I thought I might have heard it all....
I talked to a man last night that seemed to have good potential for a match with me as we emailed this week. I got his number and called him. In the discussion, he was talking about being single and his hopes to marry again. Okay, nice to know...Until...cue Jaws music...
He dropped this: " I am really looking for someone to iron my shirts".
I thought that is what the cleaners are for?
Just a lol to begin the week-end, and hope it is all uphill from here for everyone! :)
Truly,
Cupcake

Hi cupcake,
I think what he meant was that he was ready to settle down. If he really tries to make his date or wife iron, she should simply tell him that he should do it by himself. You can figure it out if you talk with him a few more times if he's dominant or demanding.
BTW, I'm turning off the phone tonight again so that I wouldn't hear, even if he calls...heh, my wkend will be downhill, but it's o.k...

Naw... that's not what I think.
There's only 3 real choices IMHO (in no order).
1.He doesn't like Cupcake and his comment was sure a out.
2.He has a dry sense of humor, Cupcake realized that, but thought it would be funnier to post his exact words and leave out the part where she felt no interest at the end of the conversation and hence... he is NEXTed.
3.If he signed up to participate on this board, his handle would be DumbAsARock.
Uh Oh John...
He liked me Plenty--lol! I think he was just 'fishing' to see how I feel about being domestic. Actually, if a man takes good care of me, I take good Care of him! :)
I have a date with him for dinner and a play this weekend. Everything else he said was pretty cool, and he has lots of other 'oars in the water' for me, so I went for it!
The name you came up with is PERFECT!
I do know a few women who will run for the hills if a man even Hints at them doing anything the least bit housewife-ish, though! Man, I can even make my own pie crust; we Southern women are expected to be able to!
Enjoyed your reply!

I met so many guys with Committment phobia who started introducing themselves by "it is time for settling and coming back to someone at home" crap and it turns out they have a real committment problem and have ended so many relationships before because of it.
So I d say watch out for people who pretend they are desperate to get married. It could be they are desperate to get laid!
Petty!
HI Juli,
I also noticed something else I now watch for:
The man who tells me Right off the bat that he does "not like to date a lot of women at once" he is a one Woman man. Yeah, you don't want ME to date others, but you will be dropping it like it's hot...alll over H-town!
Won't fall for That one again,and I agree with you on your idea, as well!
Has anyone else experienced that line of early chat?
Truly,
Cupcake
I've told women I don't want to date a bunch at once, and it's also true.
My present gf, who I've posted a few times about, I think I was much earlier than her on the "let's talk about being mutually exclusive" chat. I figured, though, that it was true- I didn't want to be dating anyone but her, so I might just as well tell her that and hopefully she would be feeling the same.
So far, so good. :)

Ha ha ha! You crack me up John! But ya know, I kind of agree with #2. The part where maybe he DOES have a dry sense of humor? (not where cupcake left something out)
