Dating... go!
Saturday, April 09, 2011
In recent past, I've gone on a bunch of dates with a bunch of guys. To name a few...- The hottie I picked up in a hot tub in Tahoe, who turned out to be Mr Wealthy and Successful, workaholic Stanford/Google man, whom my parents would probably marry themselves if they could. Ew!
- The foreign and therefore incredibly interesting man who I agreed to date because he lives on the beach. (hmm, me living on the beach w/o paying a dime? Sign me up!) Unfortunately, after I told him I'd moved recently, he said "life is such a journey, and you are having a new beginning." Wrong answer. Next!
- Of course, the guy I totally fall for and irrationally invest in excessively for like 3 weeks. Only to discover that he's a disastrous wreck in relationships, which results in ample frustration & disappointment on my part, and leads to me putting Peetie (bless her heart) through a multi-hour listening session where I complain about my life. Sigh.
--
If I hope to have a stable, regular, happy life full of love and commitment and companionship, I am seriously & repeatedly failing. BUT, if I name my goal as being still single at 40 and becoming a cougar who takes advantage of hot young thangs... then I am making great progress.

Unbelievable: There was one guy who didn't pay for me! The nerve! (No date 2 for Mr Stingy)

Stingy? If you are looking for non-moneybags, non-misogynists, I highly recommend going dutch on 1sts. Not that the guy paying is bad or anything, just saying that if you like "partnership" style relationships, the first date is a good time to set the tone that you hold your own and expect him to do the same.
Unless free food and drinks are what you are after, in which case, tahoe hot tubs are where it's at!
My views on toilet seat positioning are equally controversial.

Alex,
Fair enough. I've had my share of debates about toilet seats and who-pays-for-what myself. I do think paying on a first date is one way to be clear that is just that -- a date -- though there are other ways to approach this.
That said, writing about a 'partnership style relationship' just isn't as funny! :P

I respect your decision w.r.t. the tradeoff between nuanced interpersonal relations analysis and high comedy.
