Yup, everyone has to figure this stuff out for themselves. Basically I was petrified of the stress involved with getting married, having kids, and going to school at the same time. I don't handle stress well, so that's just me. I've got to keep it simple. I'm still amazed at how women manage to raise more than one kid or work and raise kids at the same time. It's a mystery and a wonder to me.

Pick-up lines OH? hmmmmmm. . . . only one, "you're cute, can I have your phone number?" Direct. Too bad he was a coke addict.

where did this happen at?

Thank you OH! Honestly, I didn't expect things to get so heated in this topic!


I've never had any real bad offenders as far as bad pick-up lines, but my ex-boyfriend did. While we were together. We were at a restaurant when this girl came up and starting rubbing his shoulders and arms, and asking questions about what his t-shirt meant, although it's obvious that's not what she was interested in. I was stunned, and he was so embarassed and kind of speechless. He actually never really knew how hot he was, which was nice, but I wanted to do things to that girl I can't write here. I don't know how you can have the ba!!s to try that with a guy while he's sitting there with his girlfriend.

At a family oriented music store. I was buying sheet music.

I did it and it was terrible, I felt like I was in a porno movie (I could almost hear the bad sleazy music playing).

does this need to be in the confessions thread?

we all do effed up things Rocker, kudos for admitting it

When my husband proposed to me, it was with a round solitare. My first thought was "this is NOT my ring!" I was shocked he bought the one kind of ring he knew wasn't my style. I couldn't even answer the question right away. After I'd finally said yes, I agonized for two days about whether to tell him I didn't like the ring. I eventually did and we went to the jeweler and designed one together. He didn't think he could buy a "nice" ring in the style I liked, so it was sweet in the end, but it did give me pause--I wondered if I was giving up a lovely single life to marry a guy who just didn't pay attention to anything I said (thankfully, I was wrong about that).



A older guy I used to know gave me a cubic zirconia round solitaire ring (see above to realize how wrong that was; it's just not my style) with a note that read, "If you ever want the real thing, give me a call."

Wha??? He also liked to write pornographic letters to me. Between that and the faux-proposal with the faux-ring, it's amazing I didn't end up with him.

I never said that you are a humper and dumper, i just said IF you're a part of it, then right on. Like I said, to each their own. Obviously, I listen to Leykis. Don't agree with some of the stuff he says but I listen..its interesting to hear others' opinions. ts unfortunate that you feel that way about women. Hopefully one will come around that'll change all of that.

Yeah, but I've seen the same thing with men.


Sweet! Exactly.


No, I think what I meant has been misunderstood. If Roy's mom had thought like that, he wouldn't be here. Honestly, I would miss him. And I support anyone's decision not to have children - I don't have any myself; that is my choice. I said it sounded a tad selfish when Roy said having kids would keep him from doing what he wanted to do, because anytime you have another person in your life, you don't always get what you want to do. There's give and take involved in any relationship, whether it's family, friendships or a significant other.

I hope this clears things up a bit.

there aren't too many things about single life I miss, I went clubbing twice. The first time I went a guy grabed me in places that you get arrested for and then bit me on the neck. I don't think I could handle that type of thing with different guys if I was single.

Here's my fiance's proposal."Your going to marry me. We've gone through too much and I don't want to loose you and all I want to hear is, yes. so say yes your going to marry me." I said yes. And I have a gorgeous ring but it wasn't romantic in the least. I told him now, it was like you were giving me a order. He said he was.*cheeky*

That's the kind of proposal that will get more and more romantic as the years go by.

liz, that proposal actually sounds pretty romantic! I like that your fiancee was so confident that you guys belong together that he told you to say yes. Anyways it does make a good story, and isn't that what everyone wants from an engaged couple?

you think mixed? I think he got off too easy.

How about annoying and skeevy?

About a week ago I was leaving the office, walking past the reception desk at the same time as one of the men in IT. The receptionist is male, and he said "good night" to me and apparently ignored the man walking out with me.

The IT guy said it was because I had nicer legs. And he said it before he knew I was single. He's not.

Perv. I don't know you. And then I had to get in the elevator with him.

That could be why he proposed.

sammy thanks for thinking it was sweet. I would have liked alittle more romance but asking is romantic enough.


oh pick up lines.I only had a few used on me. one guy at grocey store asked if he could carry my bags to the car, I said I'm walking, he said I don't mind I'll still carry them where ever your going. I just took the bags and went.

Another was a scary guy hit on me at my job in the mall, and he said I like you, you have nice eyes. I wanna buy you a watch so you'll always know that anytime of the day or nite I'm here for you boo. I was ready to call mall sercuity.

Ick. You should have purposely waited for the next elevator. Then he would know you think he's a perv.

As for the round solitaire ring I was offered - I had only had 2 real dates with the guy. It was a long distance thing, and we had a lot of phone calls, but 2 dates? Please.

Here are some skeevy lines I have gotten:

I was on the bowling team in college, and this guy came up to me and said,
"You're a real strike in my book, and I have spare time for you.

Did anyone ever tell you you look like Brooke Shields?

Did anyone ever tell you you look like Helen Hunt?

Did anyone ever tell you you look like Wynonna Judd? (granted, I had red hair at the time)

Did anyone ever tell you you look like Camryn Mannheim? (fat lawyer from The Practice) Ummmm, no 'cause she's really ugly, has bad skin, makeup, clothes and hair.

Let's skip the preliminaries - wanna get married? (later I found out he stole that from a Taxi episode)

Nice car - but I'd like to see what's under your hood.

Yeah. I should have. At least we weren't alone in there together. I haven't seen an awful lot of him since then, thank goodness.





I'm sorry, some of those are sooo bad I just have to laugh a little

What is with Camryn Mannheim's ear?

You mean the ear with like 30 earrings?

Maybe Johnny Depp was imitating her for Pirates.

Yes!

Did she do that all at once? Or did she add another one for each of those special moments in her life, sort of like a charm bracelet?

Ew.

Yeah, I do. After you guys have been through a bunch of married stuff, it'll take on a few new layers of meaning. Plus I think it's code for something like:

"I love you, I don't want to lose you so I'm not even going to give you a choice."

. . . . they just don't know how to say it the right way.

I really don't know that much about her. Nor do I want to.

I just wanted to try and clear something up here. When I said to start a "no marriage and no children thread", that had nothing to do with the male/female perspective on this situation. In fact, if you had read previous pages, you would have seen that I do not want children, despite your assertion that all women do. I actually felt badly that I had started posting about not wanting children in this thread (as a response to someone else's post) and I was kind of taking the conversation away from the original intended subject. I thought it might be better to have that conversation on another thread. I personally did not feel strongly enough about it to create the thread, but since you certainly seem to have strong thoughts on the subject, I made the mistake of mentioning it. I would not tell someone what they could or could not discuss. As for the rest of your post, all I will say is that I agree with your admission that you do not want children. I feel the same way and sometimes it is very difficult to get across to people why that decision has been made.

Seriously Diapers, you got me laughing with that one.

Bad pickup lines. Well, I didn't get this but I was there with my roommates when they both got these.

#1: There was a guy who went to the same church as we did. From the first day he met her, he would always say "Julia, you're the one" I always thought that was creepy. Really, everytime he saw her, he'd tell her that ... when he'd just met her!

#2: We were with a group at a party. I was saying my good-byes to everyone and I had stepped away from her for a second. I met up with her at the door and a guy walked up to us, he had a long, dark black trench coat on, he looked kind of scary. He kind of stepped in our path, and stopped her. He was standing there with his hands way down into his pockets, he began to pull one out while he said "Here, this is for you." (In that split second you have no idea how terrified I was by the though of what he was going to pull out of his trench coat!) He pulled his hand out of his pocket, and placed in it was a flyer he had made. He was appearing at a comedy club and wanted my friend to go watch him.

I have been guilty once of using a bad pick up line. Friends dared me with a guy when we all went out for dinner. I was about 21 or so. I asked this guy do you have a girlfriend? He said nope. I said would you like one? Yeah it didn't work, he thought I was nuts but I got a free drink from my friends.

Our waiter once at TGIFridays checked my i.d and he was all oh your from sanger, oh your a cancer too, I'm a cancer. He was just a bit too friendly and I wasn't interested so I asked for a free drink since he was flirting and he said is it a special occasion? I said yes I grabed my friend michelles hand and said it's our anniversary. Michelle was so funny she played right along and the guy went quickly off me.

There are no words, just an emoticon, to show how I feel.

LOL I've done that before..

My friends and I (There were 4 of us) were at Denny's and 2 of 'em went to the potty while another friend and i were waiting for our food at the table. One side of our booth was empty, so we just sat there chatting. All of a sudden, these 2 dirty (literally) guys sliiiiiiiiide into the empty side of the booth and start talking to us. They told us that they were watching us and thought that we were beautiful. ..and then One of them hand flowers in their hand...THAT WERE PULLED FROM THE FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT!!! They still had the ROOTS and DIRT on them. I was nudging my friend underneat the table and trying really hard not to burst into laughter in the guys faces. ..next thing you know..THEY STARTED EATING FOOD FROM OUR SAMPLER!!!!!!!!! They just started picking at our Sampler, eating onion rings and Chicken Strips. So my friend and I locked hands and told them, "Sorry, guys...We're lovers and we're not really into the Bi thing. We know what we like." They gave us the stink eye and slithered away from the table. It was like a scene from a movie. Our friends finally came back RIGHT AFTER the dirty guys left. By that time, we were cracking up. We told our friends what happened and showed them the dirty flowers as evidence. We decided it was time to leave the restaurant. We told the management that we weren't going to pay for the sampler because WE didn't eat it and some random strangers ate off of it. They were arguing with us about it and said we had to pay for it because SOMEONE ate it. I gave them the money for our sodas and we walked out.


..don't make me tell you about my thousands of stories about BUMS hitting on me. I guess i attract all the Creepy McCreepersons, man...bleh.

oh Dee thats too funny!!! see guys always talk alot of junk but when it actually happens to them I've noticed they get very childish. The whole "girlfriend" thing is the best way to put any guy off.

Single people want to be married.

Married people want to be single.

Twas ever thus.

Hey, Tard, Do i have to talk slower as if i am speaking to a child?


What I Was Saying Is That All The Women My Age Only Want To Get In A Relationship To Get Married And Have Kids. Therefore It Is Germaine To The Discussion. Which Part Of That Dont You Understand?

And maybe it is because you havent been on the boards long, but the topics of conversation here are very fluid and often dont stick to topic. Dont worry about it. Dont try to control it, just let it be.

Liz.. we are related! . First off my birth name is Michelle ( I do not use it that often) but whatever....

My friend and I were at TGIF's ( no joke) and the waiter was hitting on us and he was just ick, so I grabed my friends hand and said oh honey do you think he knows we play for another team?

The waiter was flustered and suddenly said oh well I like that as well maybe we can do a threesome.

My friends said.. yeah give me your number and I will give you ours... so she wrote down this number and I was mortified, but I did not reconize it. After the guy left ( he took the number, creepy) she dialed it for me and it was the rejection hotline

that is a night I will never forget!!

Hey.. hey. Roy be nice. You have been wonderful this past month do not go screwing it up now

alright pam, yeah we've known each other I think someone perhaps in a past life? That is spooky now.

Roy, is just being roy. I think we're all used to him.

Thanks, Pam, I agree. I am going to have to go back and re-read everything, because apparently I am misinterpreting something somewhere. But it's nice to be called a "tard". That's always sweet and a great addition to the day!

Yeah, I really find this plain weird. Past life.. maybe.. we must

Well most of us are used to him..

without Roy I would not laugh as much he does make me laugh!

I want to say sorry now, my posts are all ove the place. My mind is in two places so they look alittle messed up, I will concentrate more.

Pam have to ask, you aren't by chance related to anyone with the last name springs? cause if you are then that would explain a lot.

With out people like Roy or diapers the thread would be alittle less exciting.

Who was it that was saying that humour was number one on their list?

Oh we all understand about posts being all over the place.. believe me we have all had those days!

Springs.. I do not think so, but I a related to the youngs. And that explains a lot

Amen!



Hey if you can make me laugh more then Scotty who know?

are you e cheating on scotty now pam with roy?

Hey, i dont want to cockblock Scotty. Us guys, we have a rule about that. My Man Card would be revoked.

Plus i like Scotty. I dont want to hurt him.

Kudos to all you singles out there!
There is soo much pressure in our society for people to get married have kids etc. Singles are often discriminated against and people assume something is wrong with them if they remain single by a certain age. I've had a few friends who have caved in to this pressure and are straying down the wrong path just to escape this discrimination, and it makes me sick. They(or at least one of them) know they are wrong for each other but continue anyway because their only other option at the moment is being single. These types of 'couples' should not be having children but it happens and things just go further downhill from there. I have nothing against marriage or children, only the people who do it for the wrong reasons and end up ruining lives. There is nothing wrong with being single, most of these people are just waiting for 'the one'. I believe there is someone out there for everyone, but I also believe that the odds are they will never find eachother. That's what makes it all the more special when they finally do. Never give up!

Unshun.

I notice with some amusement your spelling of the home 'humour'. That being the British / Canadian spelling, I couldn't help but wonder if you are secretly Canadian yourself. Some self-loathing at work, methinks, in light of recent xenophobic ranting?

Shun.

I can't wait to see roy's reaction to being called, a canadian in secert.

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to say it since I have apparently antagonized him enough these past two days!!

ah, he likes you. Tease the ones you love. Hes just too stubborn to say it.

Cocks in the henhouse.........

Coxblocker/Cockblocker(2009)

Plot Outline:
William Cox (Topher Grace) meets his ideal woman, only to find his advances continually blocked by her ex-boyfriend/current best friend (Sean William Scott), who is trying to find a way to win her back.

I'm sure he'll appreciate you saying it, then!! I'm still wondering where the hel1 it all went wrong!!

Not that there is anything wrong with being Canadian!! I went to Canada, once, briefly. It was one of those four day cruises to Nova Scotia and it was pouring rain and we just went to a Mario's and ate and took some pictures and we were so happy. It was just peaceful.

No I could never cheat on a wonderful man like Scotty

Though I have told him that I do not want to have his b@stard children so he better get me a ring



Or is it that you do not want Him to hurt You

I assume you are talking about God since you capitalized Him. Besides, no women or children unless provoked.


AND I AM NOT CANADIAN OR BRITISH. I spell it that way to mock your wacky spelling. I am an american citizen and i am of Irish Catholic descent, so i hate anything british. LEAVE MY PEOPLE ALONE. Also, the correct way to say the letter Z is Zee, not Zed. Get it right.

Hey! Me too
