 over a barrier | Subject: RE: Mushy post... I just cringed with the flowers...yikes. Simmer down....It was one date - slow down big fella. Take it slow you don't want to look needy.....ease off the gas a bit. Make sure you do stuff with her that doesn't cost money or doesn't cost much money..you don't want to spend your TRI money on a girl that flakes. If you feel the need to buy her stuff (and if you really like her you'll get that urge a lot) make sure they're smaller items....stuff that says you were thinking about her, maybe something you two thought was funny, or something that reminds her of your date you had (not a set of silverware - get it - spooning) Did you remember the Bottle of wine you had? If you both liked it, buy it again in a few months casually bring it up like its no big deal that you remembered...big time points right there. Remember everything she tells you...like how her friend Kathy is having guy trouble and make sure you show an interest (a real interest not bs) and follow up with her about it in the coming weeks... If she has a problem with your background, consider it a blessing, you found out early before you were emotional invested in the relationship and you can find someone that likes you for you..... |

| Elite 3650 Laurium, MI | Subject: RE: Mushy post... morey1 - 2006-03-20 2:51 PM I forgot to add...don't EVER wear your capri pants around her. EVER. hahahahahahahaha, funniest thing I've read all day. Serisouly though, stop taking advice from people online. The relationship will work or it won't. That's based mostly on who you are and who she is, not on the stupid little things that happen in between. Take it from somebody who is now engaged...later in life the both of you will look back on the first few weeks you were together and laugh and the stupid stuff BOTH of you did. The only thing you can do to screw this up is to not be yourself and instead follow all those silly rules about when to call, when to send flowers, what to do, what to say.... If that actually worked, no guy would be dateless, EVER. The worst thing you can do is to follow those rules and give her the impression you're someone you aren't. Then 2 months from now, when you get really familiar with each other, she'll see the difference and realize you "aren't the man she fell in love with." Some girls would find you sending flowers like that, or being needy, or calling right away really cute. Others would find it offputting and pathetic. So just ask yourself if the reason you are doing it is because thats who you are or because a friend of a friend told you that it would work. trust me on this. It's like a rollercoaster. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but your course is set and attempts to change course will always result in crashing and burning. |

Master 2052 Colorado | Subject: RE: Mushy post... The only thing my dad ever said in regards to who I was dating was "if you like him, I'll like him. And if he makes you cry I will kill him". Just don't make her cry, you'll be fine. |

Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: Mushy post... tyrant - 2006-03-20 12:27 PM My only real issue is that her family is “well off” and I worry that being the son of a poor teacher, her family might think less of me. I don’t want to be told that they are going to pressure her into dating someone in her “class.” Actually, your only real issue at this point is that you don't know each other very well at all. Spend time getting to know her and allow her to learn about you. Enjoy your dates, one at a time. |

Tirant, take it from me (and I know you want to listen to me The guys that are telling you it was too much are probably just freaking out because your feelings are on display. Go for it. Congrats. |
), it wasn't too much. If the date was that great (and it obviously was if you stayed over) then the flowers were a nice gesture that she most likely wasn't expecting. | 2006-03-20 5:48 PM in reply to: #374811 |

| Champion 6539 South Jersey | Subject: RE: Mushy post... YAY for twitterpation!!!! I didn't read all the posts, but I was twitterpated recently and I know how great it is. It didn't work out with the guy, but I was glad to have just experienced it. So, enjoy it while you can. And, no worries about the differences in family. Chances are, if her parents/family wouldn't accept you for who you are and where you came from, then she wouldn't either. The fact that she's cool with you and your background/upbringing, means that her family probably would be too as they raised her to be that way. And, if her family is that different from her, then she probably won't care what they think. Enjoy! |

| Master 1867 The real USC, in the ghetto of LA | Subject: RE: Mushy post... So the update… She called me (I thought she got the flowers) to tell me that she went home sick. Uhh… An hour later she called back with “my work called and said that I had flowers sent to me, did you send them.” Ill skip some details, but I wasn’t overly aggressive (calling or texting) [that ya’ll for keeping me in check], I only responded when she made contact. For the one that said “screw the rules” my actions seem to be panning out well, and I cant wait to see her tomorrow. (Still adjusting to the love note on her bathroom wall, the whole wall; from her ex, written in 5 lipsticks) PS Lauren I added the twitterpation BC we had talked about it. (and I feel that way) Edit: we talked tonight, and I told her my anxiety about her family and she said “I told my mom about you, and she thinks your wonderful, my family will love you especially my older brother” Edited by tyrant 2006-03-21 2:03 AM |

Enjoy your dates, one at a time. we spent the whole day together had alot of good conversations, and a couple on the phone, so we are "getting to know each other" and we dont have any 'big' plans for our next, so im sure it will be fine wine, and good conversation; and 'get-to-know-each-other-time'. i cant wait... |

Comet - 2006-03-20 5:04 PM (and it obviously was if you stayed over) dont get me wrong, we didnt do anything my mom (or her dad) would be really mad at.... just snuggly time... (which was alot of watching her sleep, and being happy when i saw her smile....) my lack of sleep made school hard today, but the cloud carried me through the day. |

I was so close! I agree--get the BFF in your corner, and you're in like Flynn. |

What I am flabbergasted over is the fact that every relationship I've had, I saw the negative right away (maybe I am too smart), and kind of had the attitude of “this will be fun…” with this girl I'm just floored over….
