Think outside the box?
I read somewhere that women should consider sending a thank you gift after a first date. I’ve never done this personally, but I imagine that is a surefire way to make a great impression. Maybe more women should think outside the box when it comes to dating?
Guys, what would you do if someone gave you a thank you gift because she really enjoyed the date you planned for her?
Ladies, have you ever felt compelled to send a note or thank you gift after a really fantastic date? Would you feel uncomfortable reciprocating a man’s effort that soon after your dating relationship began?
We all can get in dating ruts from time to time! What are some unique ways to think outside the box when it comes to dating?
Happy Friday!

O/T… I remember many moons ago, a chick, that I really wasn’t feeling, actually sent me a dozen roses after a date. That was new territory for me. What was I supposed to say.”Thank you, they’re beautiful…..” I thought it was odd and it made me feel weird. Imma man, send me a cactus. I got a lot of mileage out them though. For the next few days, any female that I visited, I brought them a single rose. When my potnahs peeped game, they would be like “Dog, let me walk with a few of your roses.” (We were some slimy young men)

See Du…first you come talking about bllsht like that and then a few posts later you’re all, “Hey I’m a nice guy…really I am”…or “I guess I guy like me will never get a date with any of you ladies(not that you’re looking for a date,hell I don’t know). Defenitely not saying you’re like that now…then again maybe you are but just look at how you prefaced it all. Not judging you, cause you may be reformed now but IJS…

Personally, DuShawn, I think that was quite creative use of the roses. Especially if you knew the girl wouldn’t be over to your place in the next 2 weeks.

S/H~ You have Leggs email address? If so, she has mine and I am glad to answer questions for you on the process. I studied immigration law (for what, MsATL, 2 seconds?) in law school. But I also know some immigration lawyers and I can probably get you some answers if I don’t already have them.

I’ve gotten several over the years and what I can’t figure out is HOW and WHY is this still working? There was a show on CNBC about scams and this was one of the stories…there were people who got bilked out of thousands of dollars by people they’d never met…you’d think they’d have more common cents(shot out) than that…

Sassy — It’s the same way you see some dudes trying to holla at you & you think to yourself, “who in the hell would f__k that??” There’s a sucker born every minute. All you have to do is cast a wide net & you’re bound to pull in at least a retarded catfish or an old boot.

Swiss-you’re right about casting a wide net cause that reatarded fish is jacking it up for the rest of us by helping them perpetuate that isht.
Single, I guess it’s like Swiss just said…cast a wide enough net and you’re bound to catch at least one fool.

Scams are kinda like dating. Some folks cast a wide net and try to catch any and everything. While some folks tend to be very specific.

@swiss…..“who in the hell would f__k that??” No homo or nuthin, but you ever notice sometimes you see a decent looking dude and then you see his lady and she look like a muffakin troll mixed with wildebeest. I gotta a few associates like that. After I hung out with them, I concluded dude is a smooth brother, the chicks be at him, I now his ole lady gotta be fine as hell. Then I meet the wife or girlfriend and be like… Dayyyum… WTF homey!! I justify it by telling myself…”She must‘ve been with Dog when he was doing bad and she stuck by him. Now he don’t care what she look like, that’s his boo. Either that or he got Shallow Hal disease.

Sassy~ I have heard that too (About ugly girls with that good good) I definitely want to hear from the MLB on that! We have already established that the crazy chicks have the fiya puddy (Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that motion was carried and ratified. Correct?) So, I am trying to figure out if ugly chicks fall in there too. Then, we just need to go find a crazy ugly chick and get one of the blog gents to **ahem** sample the wares and let us know if it’s double thayow.
