Is inexperience a bad thing?
When you get to be my age *cough*, you go through enough dating misadventures to get a little “wisdom” (see what I did there?) and gain a lot of experience. You figure out what works, what doesn’t. You define what you like and what you absolutely can’t stand. Experience is a good thing. What happens when you don’t have past experiences though?
I was talking to a friend who is seeing a new guy who is a lot younger than she is, which means he has not dated many women. Sometimes, she can tell because of how he reacts and handles certain situations.
Thankfully, she is a patient woman and feels he is worth it.
Do you think that dating someone who has little or no experience is hard? Have you ever been the first love, first relationship, or first lover? Do you feel any pressure?
They say we are the sum of all of our experiences, what happens when our experiences add up to zero??

@kimmie: Me, too!! Even though the opener is Buffalo, we’ve already got the tailgate planned. You gonna be there? If so, you’re welcome to stop by for mimosas/bloody marys/bellinis.
@Lady: all in good fun!
I like pro ball, too, but college is my first love. Speaking of love, DGD AJ Green looked good the other night.

Watched a Snapped marathon on Sunday. I have to say some of those dudes that got snapped on were a little dense. Looks like they got lured by sex/looks and fell into some of those black widow’s webs.

Bluz is now dating her FWB co-star and defending his station in life. Also, his dog needs to be put down and she’s run into a scam artist of a Vet.
Little discussion on broke being relative.
Single’s imaginary friend is talking with me and not him.
Everyone (except me) seems to be gung ho for football.

Lady~ Technically your boo is right. Without seeing the discovery, the evidence that they had that could be used against her from the Hemy Neuman trial was circumstantial at best. Unless they have developed some new evidence that we didn’t hear in that first trial, this case is a loser for the prosecution.

SlimUno ~ almost forgot. Bluz and her co-star in life at the moment had a heart to heart over dinner. They both want to be with each other, vowed to stay away from the likka, but will partake in a glass of red wine every now and then. They had a nice dinner and only cuddled afterwards. No smashing, wasn’t ever gonna be any smashing and the fact that they had water at dinner helped in the decision not to smash.

Comon that dude is lucky he didn’t get labeled a terrorist.
Single is a Crimson Tide fan? You know this is Bulldog country you’re in.
I was laughing hard this morning about Victor Hill winning the sheriff seat. 39 indicments on his plate that should tell a lot about what the people in Clayton Co. feel about outgoing sheriff Kembrough. Only in America.

Oh yeah, BF is weeding the yard at 1:00 in the morn.
Single went to Negril and his date asked her DAD if there was any weed in the garden. Someone ran to the yard and came back with a nice bud…No smoke signals because they all fell out after the first toke.

slim – another update: several of us are of the opinion that the no smashing was in direct correlation to his having to leave early after receiving a call re the aforementioned sick dog. not saying the lessened alcohol intake didn’t contribute to the lack of smashing. lol.

Leggs – I surely appreciate the recap…I figured most of these pages were probably attributed to Bluz…so they went from disrespect to relationship….or dating. WOW!

” I believe I was under the impression that the low level of alcohol intake was in direct correlation of the lack of smashing” – you were under the right impression.
Alcohol is not her friend. She thinks clearer when no alcohol and her libido is sleeping. Alcohol seems to wake it up!
