Didn't you mention about doing some work for the drama club? Maybe there is someone there that would appreciate an artist

Most of the guys I dated in high school I met through after school activities, debate, volunteer clubs, etc.

Hey, if it helps, I didn't have my first boyfriend til I was 21...the first one didn't work out, but now I'm with a wonderful guy, and I'm incredibly happy. So just...be patient. Don't rush good things.

Artemis · Aug 22, 2004

hehe yeah you gals right,

But you know...it would just be nice...but im also really picky for what kinda girl I like.

As for the drama group idea, I did see a girl I liked, and she seemd really nice, but she acted the same as one of my last girlfriends, and well...that ended really badly....someone spread rumours...anyways, I hope I do get to find some girl

I've been dating a girl for almost a year and I still open her car door whenever we drive anywhere.

Good idea but not on the freeway! :lol:

We'll never tell!
(FYI, nappy = diaper).

Being in the military i have come across so many sayings and "rules" in regards to relationships. When you go away on a deployment two rules come to mind.
#1: What goes away, stays away!
So if you see someone playing around while away, you can approach them, but nothing is to be said that can get back home where the other half can find out! (and i've seen lots of cheating on trips believe me!!!)

#2: Don't send 'em flowers when you're away!
Flowers sent to the other half is seen as a sign of guilt and that you've been naughty.

Doesn't really help Arty's original question but good advice is good advice no matter when it's given

luckydog · Aug 22, 2004

Arty,
you've gotten heaps of good advice from the gang here. Which i am impressed about. Everyone has been really genuine and serious in responding to your questions (well done all, you have my respect). My advice is basically the same as a lot of the others...
Be yourself...It's easy to do, and you feel comfortable doing it.
Be polite, Listen, Show genuine interest in what they do or say. They know if you're pretending.
Sensitive/mushy is ok but not too much or too soon or they won't hang around. Get to know her friends and introduce her to yours (but not the good looking ones or the DH's

).
Get out there and enjoy life mate! Girls are just another obstacle life throws in front of you that you have to study to be able to conquer (ducking for cover

).

My advice is just to be yourself (as has been said) and always be nice & respectful to all the girls you know.

For me, I became good friends with girls rather than just dating & breaking up. Not by design...it just worked out that way. After a while...most of the girls I knew were trying to set me up with friends & family of theirs.

That's how I met my girlfriend...and we have been dating for three years.
