I found this article on MSN-

I hate the word "resolution" because it just begs to be broken.

Mine is I will never date a guy who wears black jeans, a grey UT t-shirt, and white tennis shoes on the first date to a nice restaraunt......yeah I'm just not going there on that one lol. And I actually looked nice, too! I was over dressed :-( I guess ppl just don't dress nice anymore on first dates, I don't know lol. But my "resolution" will be to talk to the guy more before going on a first date w/him. And the reason I say that is because this guy that I'm talking about, we only talked on the phone for two days and he tried getting me to meet him somewhere the night we started talking. He kept pushing to meet so we finally met up on the first date two days later. Needless to say and I will spare all the gross details, I don't talk to this guy anymore. So next time I go out on a date w/someone, I want to talk to them for at least a few weeks before we meet. Call me old fashioned, but that's just me!

My goals are to be more open and give a man a chance when it comes to get asking out. I was holding a grudge prior due to breakup with ex almost 1.5 years ago to where I was trying to find things wrong with me. I have now healed, moved on, and ready to meet a special man. I am looking forward to getting out again.

I think that sounds like a very good goal, Anna.

I am the complete opposite of you- I want to meet soon so I don't invest too much time in a loser, but I understand your viewpoint.

Yep, I definitely hear ya on that and what you say makes sense :-) And I guess it was a good thing we meet kind of soon, because it showed me how looney tune he is. Calling me his girlfriend after the first date, then states he wants to move in with me in six months.....and then talks all this sexual crap to me, and then preaches on about how bad one night stands are and that it's wrong and thats how std's get started and God will punish those who do such things. Now, I don't do the one night stand thing and I don't sleep around....but I saw so many red flags w/this guy and I'm glad I learned about it so early on, instead of too late in the game you know? Oh yeah, and the icing of the cake was, he wanted me to give him a "golden shower" and he said this to me after our first date. Um.....yeah ok, he's a freak. Needless to say I only spoke to him for about a week tops and then ran right afterward lol.

I'm back in the singles' game for the first time in years, and it's a scary place to be!

Hey girl!

No, I don't think they are all like that. There are some nice ones out there....I just tend to walk around w/an invisible sign on my forhead that reads, "freak magnet" LOL! Needless to say, I don't talk to him anymore..

I joined a NZ dating website last night, and made it clear on there that I wasn't looking for anything serious, and was just looking to make some new friends, especially those with similar interests, and maybe develop a few new interests along the way.

Hello,


That reminds me of the website I've signed up for, both yahoo and match.com.

I don't know why some dating sites do that.
