In Which *I* Give Out Dating Advice?!?

by rachaelgking on March 9, 2010 · 13 comments

…even though I haven’t been on an “I’m single” date in two years. *Evil cackle*

Head on over to read about the “S.C.O.R.E. System,” a la LiLu. And add your 2 cents while you’re at it.

Things were so much easier back in my days, just after the dino’s roamed the earth and all I had to do was club my wife in the head.

love the advice! both of you…its great! you have such a way with words…hilarious. i have been in her shoes before…my now husband was a co-worker. but fortunately for the relationship…we met at work…but only saw each other there like 5 times a year! that helped!

I thought when they say “This was fun, we should do it again.” it means “You seem nice, so I’ll say this so that you feel like you didn’t bomb on this date (even though you did) because I’m really just a nice guy, well that’s what I’d like to think, but the truth is I’m a coward (and emotionally retarded). I’ll have my people call your people, but probably don’t hold your breath”

Errrr….. bitter much?

great response…although, i can’t believe it’s now acceptable to “score” before you “score”

men are dumb and really have no clue what they are doing…but what is so wrong with just taking a shot at it and sayin “wanna go for drinks after work?” must we all know how to tango to get a date?

I am really happy that my approach wored as well as it did.

(this is how it happened)

Him: (drunk) : heeeey

Me: (drunk) : hey…wanna get another round?

Him: Shots?

Me: Um…ya!

Him: What’s goin on?

Me: Im trying to seduce you and get you drunk.

Him: half way there…so far so good

Me: Are you gonna walk me home tonight?

Him: Sure

Me: (does shot) Should we get another round?

Him: nope…I’ve gotta walk you home (smiles)

Me: ok, are we takin travellers?

Him: Yup…got them in my bag

Me: (thinking how perfect that is)

Him: so…are we gonna make things official…like..you know…pay the bill and leave together?

Me: the bill is paid already; (lights a smoke) ready??

Him: sweet!

he walked me home that night and every night after…until we married eachother 7 years ago and have come home to eachother every night since.

It certainly is dangerous territory! I’ve rooted far too many co-workers to be able to pass on any other advice than: DON’T. DO. IT! Yeah… I’ve embraced the inner slut.

I think I’ll just stick with the D.E.N.N.I.S. system, thanks.

You are an expert in dating especially if you are in a good relationship (such as yourself)….something you did two years ago worked!

I met the fiance at work. It added a nice and exciting spice to the first year cause we would have been fired if caught. Apparently we are good actors, everyone was shocked when he said he was moving away with me.

I totally agree with your SCORE system! If only there’s a guy in my social circle I can try it on. *sigh*

Gawd you make it sound so simple. Damn your clever acronyms!!
Australian’s don’t know how to *date*. You go on one date and suddenly you’re in this relationship. It’s confusing and scary. Any Americans there who wants to do a, errmm, cultural exchange?
