As a newly published author (a long-held dream) I know how you feel. I have my regular friends that I hang and party with. I have my "writer" friends that I talk about business with. You have to separate the two camps. The regulars don't understand what I'm doing, nor do I think they...

Why is it selfish not to want kids? Is it selfish not to want to bring an innocent child into a world certain to destroy itself? Who asks the child if they want to live? Nobody. The parents decide that's what they want. Which one is selfish? I'm dating a girl who does not want kids and it's...

Ah, church chicks.... I've been a Christian since my 20s. Here is what I have learned: Church chicks either put up a wall as soon as you start talking (because they think you're hitting on them, even if you're not); have a "spiritual standard" that is not only known only to them but...

I had a get-together at my place once, and a "friend" brought my ex. This "friend" didn't know Jessica was my ex, but Jessica knew she was coming to my place and apparently played dumb. It was a potluck event, and Jessica brought a casserole dish (which I didn't touch). When she left that...

Well it is a tempting thought. But I know for a fact that the first date will be all about her ticking bio block and it will totally kill the mood. I've been on dates with women like this before, and all they do is complain. One time I had to work like a madman to keep things light and...

Last night I had an eye opening experience. This experience is nothing new to some of you, but, for me, it was a look into the mind of the AFC that I have never seen before. I joined a singles group at my church as we're going through a book called How To Find a Date Worth Keeping. It's a good...

I cannot agree more. This advice is righteous. Follow it to the letter. How do I know this? I went to a website called Meetup.com to look for group activities and events in my areas of interest: politics, religion, shooting sports, outdoor activities, one or two others. Right away I was...

Y'all have articulated exactly what I was thinking but unable to phrase. Thanks!

I have a question regarding odd behavior from a female. I know, I know....but I am genuinely curious about her actions in this case and would appreciate input. Two weeks ago I had a date with a nice girl; we talked; we had a decent chat; there wasn't much chemistry there but I was willing to...

This attitude is going to hurt you. How do I know this? Trust me. It killed me for years. Do what Naughty Ninja suggested and do not deviate. It works. It's simple. The more you get used to making small talk about something going on around you the better these approaches go. Know what? Sometimes...

I met Karen through a friend and invited her to my house warming party where I got her number. This past Tuesday I called and asked her out; she said yes; we made our plans and she gave me her address. Sounds good, right? Wednesday she left me a voice mail cancelling the date. The message was...

I am totally going to try this and the other posts have been very motivating. In order to get myself in front of as many women as possible, I joined a couple of singles groups on MeetUp.Com. Activities and events are planned by the coordinators and all one has to do is show up and pay whatever...

This is righteous. I tried in on the bank teller I see often and we always share a few words. Too bad she's been expanding outward over the last few months...

This is a key point as well. What stings is when I decide not to "go for the close" (for whatever reason--no chemistry, feeling weak, etc.); when I ask for the number or date and don't get a positive answer, I don't feel so bad...because I asked for the sale. And there is victory in that. A...

This has happened to me before, too. Two girls in a row. Not only did they tell me about the other guys that have done them wrong, but one talked about her medications which she needed to "get out of bed every morning." Anxiety pills, depression pills, XYZ pills, all this stuff she dumped on me...

When I sold cars we had a saying regarding vehicles that just sat on the lot and were looked at but never bought: There's an ass for every seat! I think the same thing applies here and God help the fellow who takes that seat.

Appreciate the input, guys. Obviously I'm going to have to change a few things but that's OK--this is how we learn. As for being boring....I suppose I should include some of my "after action" thoughts as that is a possibility but she didn't help, either. This girl is a biologist who spends...

I've been out of the dating scene since 2009 (when my then-relationship ended) and am just now getting back into things (after a long period of unemployment) and would appreciate some input in tonight's adventure. I was out with some friends at an event and caught the eye of a young lady also...

A smile and/or hello never hurts because you are a gentleman and that's what we do--no sour grapes allowed. After that a "tactical" withdrawal to see if she approaches you next is a good option. If not, you've done your part and nobody can say you're a jerk, especially any other girls in the...

^ Yes. You have articulated my reasons for not being all fired up better than I could. However "for practice" I will make the call. I've been out of the dating scene for almost two years now (been unemployed or underemployed and just trying to survive lately), and now that things have...
