Even if you've been seeing someone for a while, is it really necessary to constantly keep tabs? Trust is key. I'm not a dog. I don't need to be kept on a short leash.

You need your own life away from that person. It's good to do things together but not everything. I don't like clingy people. I need my space to do my own thing and I need the person I'm dating to respect that and just trust me. I'm not a person who needs my boyfriend on a leash and coller either.. well maybe if he asked for it, but that's a different conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Aug 2 2009, 07:41 PM) "Can I teel you what Scientology has done for me?" No shit! That's the cue to RUN, not walk, to the nearest exit. I hate to say it, because some of them are really nice people otherwise, but I would never, ever date a vegetarian. They're a pain in the ass to cook for or make dinner plans with. If you cook for them, you have to make sure that nothing that touched the meat touches their food. If you're out to dinner with them, it just feels weird to sit there carving away at your bloody slab of beef while the vegetarian nibbles at steamed vegetables or pokes through their salad looking for any evidence that the ingredients might have come into contact with a meat product. I'm not going to a vegetarian restaurant, either. Don't even ask. I'm usually great about compromise, but not on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a vegetarian and that works for you, then fine, live your life. Just don't try telling me that I need to become a vegetarian. I like meat and I'm not giving it up. Now pass the steak sauce. And no offense, but all of the vegeatrians I know or have known are the most miserable unhappy people you'd ever want to meet. I think (and I've told all of them this) that it's due to a lack of animal proteins in their diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unusual for someone to change their eating habits in their 30s, 40s, or 50s They're welcome to it. Just don't expect me to make major changes to accommodate it. I do all of the cooking here, so I am allowed to say that. And if the change to vegetarianism is accompanied by an increased food bill because suddenly only organic is acceptable, we have big issues. (Vegetarian/vegan and organic seem to go hand-in-hand). My sister was a vegetarian, but she was quite low-maintenance, which seems to be a rarity. She'd assure everyone that they didn't have to cook anything specifically for her - she'd manage. With that attitude, it made me WANT to go out of my way to prepare something special for her. And when she entertained, she would happily marinate and grill a rack of lamb, or roast chicken, whatever, for her guests. She wasn't always that way, though - there were a few dramatic moments in the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It's kind of a "sisterhood secret" among single women that talking incessantly about their cats and the cute things they do is almost 100% guaranteed asshole repellent. If you're trying to score with a chick and the conversation takes this turn, move on. She ain't interested but is too nice to say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if I weren't married, that is. Talking about dogs often yields an INSTANT bond, IME. I suppose it's possible that the same could happen with cats. But if a guy I've just met starts waxing eloquent and going on about his pet cats, it sets off my gaydar. This is based on more than one experience.

nettiesaur Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 My list: Been divorced for less than a year. Talking about the ex wife throughout the whole evening. Dissing the ex the whole time. Trying to get me to enroll in your college.(yup, really, a blind date) Taking me back to your house where your ex wife's plate collection is prominently displayed, because, she doesn't have room for it. poor hygene not sticking up for me when I am being dissed by your friends, family, or kids Cheating excess drinking, on a regular basis smoking Trying to get me to convert to your religion cause mine ain't good enough Every place we go has to be free or cheap and you are an executive making mega bucks. Mommy and Daddy come everywhere with us.(he was 40) I've dated some real winners! Thank goodness my sweetie didn't do any of this! edited for spelling and to add a thing or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
