Do you need to vent about dating?
Dating can be like this strange amusement park that can either be really really fun or really awful and annoying. It just depends on what kind of luck you are having at any given time. I have to be honest, some days I don’t want to even do it. This kind of attitude is a classic sign that you should take a break from dating!
While dating has its perks, sometimes you just want to acknowledge the moments when it sucks. So I think we should take a moment and vent so we can release the frustration and get it out of our systems!
What frustrates you about dating? What would you like to say to the last horrible, no good date you endured?
What annoying habits do you wish the people you dated didn’t have?
I bet you will feel better! Let it all out…without naming names of, course!
I have one: Just because you’re hot, doesn’t mean you get to be rude and inconsiderate. Get over yourself, please.
Happy “Venting” Friday!

Here’s my vent: Dating isn’t rocket science, people. Here’s the secret – find someone you enjoy being with and date them. Problem solved.

“The guys who are profess their love for you 9 times out of 10, are because they are ready for love and they want to commit to you” – Ummmm, not so sure about that. I’ll go with 7 out of 10! And, that depends on how long you’ve been seeing each other before he professes such love.
I had a guy tell me on day one he loved me. I laughed out loud and then apologized! Didn’t see him a second time.

Good Morning and Happy Friday!
No longer in the dating pool, but when I was I hated the fact that men would try to act hard and then somewhere between dinner and breakfast
would catch feelings, then I would have a stalker on my hands. Didn’t matter if it was the first date or the 50th. And men talk about how women change when sex enters the picture HA!

@czB ~ I’ve had the suggestive comments, but never the butt grabbing (probably because mine just started growing
)

new/old dating rules for 2011
1. NO sex talk
2. Chew before you swallow – eat slow
3. Drama is for daytime TV and reality
4. Date five years younger
5. Have some sort of style or fashion
6. Loyalty is a must “ride or die”
7. No suggestive convo’s..save that for the romance novels
8. Plan dates 6 months to a year out…there is no 90 day rule for s ex
9. Texting is wack..only use for quick updates only
10. Don’t expect sex until you make her FEEL like she wants to with you

My main issues with these females out here in the “A” is that they don’t know what role they play in…
example:
If I am looking for a quality woman, a real wifey type woman to date. I am not looking to date the chick who only has her looks going for her. So when that said chick tries to get me to date her or worse, she tries to set me up with some of her friends, all of whom are equally as “non-quality” as she is, they then have an attitude, they may be fun and all (their role: fun and games), but there’s more to life than having fun…
Can’t a guy have standards that’s of high quality? lol

@kimmie: I don’t understand logic of your question nor your reply to my post for that matter. I don’t have problem with my choices… its the ones who I don’t choose are the ones having the problem. The wifey woman (quality) I’m currently dating now, her and I are good, in fact we’re awesome!
@Lovely Brown: no that wasn’t me, I’m not married, nor engaged.

Good morning!
No vent here,I have my cake and I eat it!
Fellas,here is dating advice so u can be like me:
Dating is supposed to be fun so, here goes:
1 if there is no hint u getting the goods early on,just quit it. We in a recession so stop spending money when there is mo return.
2 light skinned chics are used to a lot of attention,be careful!
3 check to see if she can cook. Date 3 must be in the house,yours or hers,it don’t matter
4 I know she’s all glammed up on the streets when u see her but are u gonna like and stand her look in the morning when she has no make up? Be ware!
4 listen carefully when she talks. If she dominates the discussion talking about her past etc,make that the last date.
5 if she eats only a little but asks for a to go box,she probably has 4 kids at home not 2 like she said! What are u thinking maaan??
RUN!
6 if she don’t give u a kiss on the first date,she’s not into u like that. Don’t push it spending money on a second date!
7 see number 6! By the second date,u feeling her back,her bootey,a lil rub in her here and there!
8 don’t call her,especially after she’s spent ur money! She call u if she’s feeling U! if she don’t call,put her on 2nd or 3rd option.
9 refer yo number 8! Dating is a numbers game and the cards are in ur hands fellas. U control who u want to call and date not Them!
10 refer to 1 thru 9! By third date and inns space of a month you have a Home Run,your bed or hers it’s all Good!
