Oh, sammy!!

Awwww, you're constantly looking out for me. Thanks VB! I totally forgot about the background checks! ....Nothing more than a felony!

Fake, schmake. Give him a real phone number, just not yours. Give him the name and phone number of someone you don't like, for instance, say Karen.


Ummmm, wow. I'm thinking no.


Yeah, haven't you seen her post all those photos of Bob Barker in the Crush thread?

I told my mom. She thought it was pretty funny. But we decided it might be a good idea to keep quiet about it.

The state fair is here!! My friend was saying how the fair is her favorite date and it always happens that she never has one at that time. anywho..

I said my favorite date would be going to the park and just swinging like you used to do when you were a kid! She said that was cheesy and stupid.

What do you think? I mean I kinda like the idea, just being like kids and having fun, no fancy dinners or movies?

If you're with the right person, why not?

I always used to say that I wil know he is "the one" when he takes me to the park to swing as a date.

I guess I am just not a dinner and movie kind of gal. I am a romantic.. a cynical romantic. I mean I can not a romantic guy any where yet... but I will always keep on looking!!

What is a perfect date for some of you? I can not be the only one who had strange and weird ideas. ( oh like eating dinner on the roof of work!! AWESOME!!)

I dated this one girl and we had this conversation. When asked what her perfect date is, she said 'If you're going to the hardware store, then my idea of a perfect date is going to a hardware store. If you're practicing guitar all day, then my idea of a perfect date in sitting in front of you and listening'. That was actually a really sweet thing to say. But then I broke up with her that week.

My perfect date - Strolling around the lake at night during the winter. A crisp cold evening with clear skies and a full moon. A light snow falling. We'd be all bundled up with coats and scarfs. Holding hands and sipping hot chocolate.

I love the fair as a date! The fair is funtastic!

When we were first dating(it was summertime), my husband and I went to the park ALL the time late at night. Usually it was after the other part of the date was over (the dinner, the movie, the play, or whatever) then we would go to the park and swing, walk on the trail, talk, kiss ... It was the first place we held hands, where we had some of our most important conversations, and where we really got to know one another.

We still live close to that park, and we take the kids there. Now we make all kinds of new memories there. But we always share a sly smile when we pass the swing where we first talked about getting married.

a great first date for me would be going someplace quiet, not with tons of people. Have a nice conversation, take a walk in a park. And maybe do something silly after so everything isn't so serious or stiff. What makes a great first date as well, not talking about the ex's.

Laser tag.

surprised you didn't say paintball.

I was going to say that but i thought laser tag was funnier.

good call. paint ball is too dwight and scary

Oh, RC. That wasn't very nice!!!



Aww, that is so sweet!

She refused to wear dresses! I made that clear from date #1 that never wearing dresses was a deal-breaker for me.

DATE #1

Girl "So what kind of clothes do you like on women?"
RC "Skirts and dresses. Anything soft and feminine."
Girl "If you're expecting a girly-girl then this won't work out"
RC "I guess it won't work then. We can still be friends though"
Girl "No, wait! We can make this work"

Date #5 (I had already wasted 5 dates trying to 'compromise')

Girl "What about a bikini bottom and t-shirt?"
RC "No, not into that. Sorry"
Girl "A halter top and jeans"
RC "I like that less"
Girl "That's ridiculous that you're trying to make me dress a certain way."
RC "I'm not trying to make you do anything. I just want to date someone in a dress."
Girl "No, wait! We can make this work"

2 weeks was enough of trying to deal with this. I cannot deal with a women in t-shirts and jeans 24/7. I just wanted her in a dress sometimes.

I, I, I just can't. SERIOUSLY? Wow, I just, wow. I am totally at a loss for words. And I can't wait to hear what some of the other ladies have to say.

By the way, how often does Mrs. RC wear a dress these days?

Mrs RC wears a dress about once a week. She has many nice skirts and dresses in her closet.

Doesn't Pam wear a dress every day to Dunder-Mifflin?

This girl I briefly dated was completely opposed to ever wearing a dress. She hated dresses and even mini-skirts. She wore jeans and t-shirts. She also wore slinky and sleavy looking bedroom apparel (I didn't like that either). G-strings and thongs too (hated that as well). She was stuck-up too. However, she was really really good looking

I was just surprised to hear you say that. Maybe she didn't mind showing off her legs in the bedroom, but not so much in public. You never know.

I cant remember the last time I wore a dress.......seriously.

I used to be that kind of girl/woman but not anymore. Its not that I am letting myself slide, i'm just not into that much anymore *shrugs*

I would have been totally cool if it was a self-conscious type issue. But she had no problem parading around in the grocery store in a bikini bottom and t-shirt.

She viewed dresses as being 'weak' or 'submissive'. I disagreed. There were a couple of occasions that I wanted to take her to a nice restaraunt. But if I'm going to wear a tie for a nice dinner she should really wear a dress. So we just didn't go.

But do you agree that at times it's appropriate to wear a dress? That's what I was asking for - a nice dinner out where she wears a dress.

The other women I dated around that time period all had attractive black dresses to wear out. They were short cut and stylish. In fact, with everyone else, when I'd suggest a nice restaraunt, they would automatically choose a dress to wear.

I can certainly understand jeans/t-shirt for daily wear, but I really think a women should dress up sometimes.

I wear dresses to weddings/christenings/parties and the like, but not so much for dinner dates. My legs used to be much nicer than they are now!!




Well, yeah, if you're saying she wanted to wear jeans and a T to a fancy dinner, yeah, I agree. But she could look just as nice in a nice shirt and dress pants. But it doesn't seem to make sense for the same person who thinks dresses are submissive to parade around in a bikini bottom. Incidentally, this conversation is bringing back faint memories of another. Did we speak about this girl before, maybe in this thread? Something seems familiar here!

We may have talked about her before. She's the one that bragged about never having a guy break up with her. She always did the breaking up. And I knew several guys who were very distraught over getting dumped by her.

She would have considered Pam Beesly a 'total loser' for both her look and attitude. This girl was the anti-Pam.

When I've seen the Playboy Mansion on TV, those girls look and dress like she did. It seems that those Playboy girls are always either in jeans or bikinis.

OMG. I LOVE wearing dresses/skirts. I will admit that I am very much a girly girl. I hate winter for the express fact that I must wear jeans and cut back on my skirts. It's a sad day when it gets too cold for me to be happy in what I am wearing.

Sharpie ROCKS!!!!!!

That was what i was going for. Dont you remember dwight getting drunk with his laser tag team?

Awww . You're cute.

I wear a skirt or dress at least once a week. The kids always compliment me...they notice if I wear something new or if I look nice. Today someone said, "Mrs. BMaC, your toes match your blouse."
Yeah, my polish was the same color as my blouse!

Me too! I have way too many skirts in my closet. I love to wear dresses, and I love all the different styles of skirts there are now. I think I have between 50 and 75 skirts -- far more than trousers or jeans, even though I wear pants more often. I wear skirts every Sunday, and not because I go to the kind of church that looks down on women who don't, but just because I don't get a lot of chances to wear them since I don't work. I also wear a skirt or dress every time we go out somewhere that is NOT the movies (I would never, ever, ever wear a skirt in a movie theater). But I will however, wear one when we go to the theater (the live theater, which we do a lot). I don't know why I really think that's different. *shrugs* Yay for skirts!

BTW, my husband prefers me in jeans and t-shirts. Of course, if I refused to dress up at the appropriate times, I am sure he would hate it, too, RC. I know, for a fact that he is very proud to be with me when we go to weddings, etc. because I make the effort to "look effortlessly feminine" (as he put it once).

^^ I think thats great. I could never wear skirts and dresses every day. Pantyhose make me itch.

I never wear skirts and the brit actually said oh you got legs under those jeans do you. I haven't worn one since.

Sammy I just barely saw this ...


SS I'm with you on this. I used to wear a lot of skirts to work, but I've started to feel like that's too dressy, so I don't wear them to work that much any more. I'd like to get back into more of a skirt trend again.

Ummm, is it just me, or does she sound a little bit clingy/stalkerish/boring/has no interests?


No, Pam wears skirts, blouses and sweaters. Not dresses, except for weddings and Casino Night.

Ummm, you knew about her underwear after 2 weeks? TMI, my friend.

when I dated my ex, I used to go with him to clubs and stuff with his band, but everytime I went I wondered why I was with him. I had heard all the songs all week long while he would pratice. I'm not a bar or club girl after 3 or 4 drinks I'm ready to sleep on the floor.

The brit and I don't work out I'm not dating. I can't handle going through all of get to you know stuff again

I am with you guys skirts are hot and I love to wear them! That is the only thing about fall that I do not like, the fact that it gets to cold to wear skirts.

My legs are already starting to go...I need to cover them up as much as possible

This might be something for the girls thread, but throw on some cool tights with a cute wool skirt, and you've got a very feminine and warm winter outfit. I just got out my wool sweaters and skirts and pants the other day. Its not cold at all here yet, but I am anticipating it ... time to go buy new tights!!!

I'm pretty much feeling like a widow. I saw my brit this afternoon, where was he in the late morning? Playing golf. I'm going to start dating myself at this point.

Sorry Liz.





I never thought about wearing tights....I might try that this winter.

Oh I like that idea!!

In Cultural Ant. we have to write a paper about marriage. If we want to get married, how we think we are going to meet that person, what we want in that person, and how both familes would come into play.

Are they trying to drive me crazy?? I am going to have to spend all weekend thinking about marriage.. to a man I have not even met??

Please tell me I am not the only one who finds this crazy!

I'm thinking they're trying to get you to discuss/reveal what cultural rites and rituals you would follow or find yourself in the middle of meeting, dating, and becoming a member of a new family. Concentrate on cultural rituals. Who asks who out, who pays, dating rites, meeting his family and rules about interacting with his mother, father, siblings. Will you follow traditional male/female rolls in the relationship, etc. Good luck Pam, you always do well.

There was a lot of discussion about skirts this last page so here is my opinion.

I love skirts. Not just because of Pam but because they are so rare where I live. I haven't seen a girl in a skirt and blouse in ages. Mind you, it's gotten cold lately but still. I wish more girls would wear skirts. They are very attractive.

Sure, take RC's side!!

We men have to band together on these boards, we're outnumbered.

No kidding!

Actually, I'd like to know the ratio of women to men on here. My guess is at least 5 women for every man.

Yes! Male Power!!!

Yes more power the men. Gosh we are so outnumbered.

And you love it . . . .
