Yes, they are.

2) Don't do anything you don't want to.
3) Talking helps a lot.
6) No means No



These all sorta go together, in order to make sure that No means No, you should talk about things before hand so that you don't end up doing things that you don't want to and regret it later. It's easier to decide before the moment, and then follow it up, than it is to decide at the moment when hormones are running high.

Yes, exactly. It is a lot better to talk about things to make sure both of you are on the same page with things, and so that there are no regrets. It is better to talk about it, than to find yourself in an uncomfortable situation.

Well Jeremy and I can't be together for Christmas, but we will get to be together for New Years. He is going to pick me up on the Sunday after Christmas, and then on Monday we are going to go to the Dells. Then we are going to spend New Years together at his house. Then on the 1st he is going to drive me back to O-Town.

Yah, about being your self, that's important and all ... be careful...
'cause see, even though the person is ment to like YOU for YOU, doesn't mean they need to see all the... uh... details,
what i mean is, create some kind of buffer zone,
and be ready that the other person might not like you for who you are (harsh, yes, i know)
so be nice, not overly nice like you're playin' it, but -natural
just as nice as you would be to ... you grandmother - sweet,

yeah you want it to work, but, don't fake it,
and don't throw him/her into the deep end on the first date.
They might be one of those people that like to wade into the ocean, not be pushed out of a helicopter in the middle of it.

does anyone get what i mean?
be you self, but be careful so show good sides 1st
that usually warms a person up to another.
even if there is a chance for you and whomever (being that you don't know much about this other person - such as you would w/ a good friend) it would be pretty certain that they don't wanna spend the 1st date hearing 'bout you not-offical-obsession w/ ... something (i think it would be safe to say FIRST in the company).

just put your best foot forward ... just make sure it's yours

and guys, if you can, be funny - that gets most girls - be relaxed
and be careful not to offend her on the 1st date (like if she is just acting weird - don't shoot her down... she might be nervous too), if she doesn't like your jokes, stop - even if your not ment to be together, you don't want her thinking you're an imbecile - it might ruin your chance w/ any other girl in the vicinity of 20 miles


happy hunting

Exactly. You should be yourself, but only show your good side first. Meaning you should be sweet and be "on your best behavior" once you start getting to know eachother a little better that is when you share other sides of yourself.

Katie_269 27-12-2002 20:32

Ok I guess my previous reply sounded kinda bad. What I meant was basically you "naturally" only act a certain way with someone when you first meet them, and that is usually the good side of you. It is only because you are probably kinda nervous, or whatever. But then after you get to know eachother better you start to show eachother other sides of yourself, and I think that is really when relationships are decided because then you can see what the person is really like and you can see if that is something you can live with.

Just thought I'd post some general relationship/dating links.

Warning: some of these things might include some four letter words (like "like", "word", and "four" [along with "friend" if you listen to Cake]), so don't yell at me for not warning you. Also, please keep in mind that I did not write any of these, and they are not necessarilly my views, or even those anyone I know, so if something pisses you off, complain to the writer, don't blame me.

E2 is full of great stuff, and you don't even have to know where to look...

tips for both sexes
 
Ok Y'all, here's my input (not that it matters to anyone other than me) on the whole relationship thing. One of the things I learned the hard way is really know the person before you start dating them. Be good friends first, if you can't talk to them and you cant predict certain reactions from them maybe you should wait. one of the best things I've learned is not to expect anything, then you cant be dissapointed. For better explanations watch the movie 100 Girls, take notes (this is not just for guys girls can learn too). On the first date move your drink to the left side of you plate if you are right handed or vice versa for us lefties, this reduces the chances of spillage.

For girls: Don't expect a guy to pay for everything all the time; split the bill or even take him out sometimes.

For guys: Be chivalry should not be dead. Even femi-nazis (if you are offended by that term you prolly are one and shouldn't't be offended) appreciate it when you open the door for them and let her be the first one that everyone sees when you two enter the room, then when they see you they will be instantly jealous.

Oh, and don't forget to have fun. Once the fun ends th relationship is dead too. There's more but that's enough for now, if in doubt consult EJ ;) he knows what to do and say.

purpledaisy 02-01-2003 12:51

feminazis...grr!
I agree with Carolyn. chivalry should not be dead! however, I don't agree with the girls who stand outside the door and bang on it until a guy opens it for them. that's just wrong.
Also, girls (again, with Carolyn), at least offer to pay. if he says no, whatever, but make the offer (make it sincere, too!).

MUST BE FRIENDS FIRST!!! I learned that the hard way... but then he didn't tell me I was his girlfriend until after everyone else knew it (not Mark, he asked). Also, if you do break up, don't go bashing them to the rest of the world. What they told you in confidence should still be kept secret, what they did that was "between you" should not be advertised, etc. in other words, respect their privacy, no matter how messy the break up.

also, don't let yourself get so caught up in your "dating life" that you loose all your other friends. this is a recipe for disaster. if he can't stand your friends or they can't stand him, you should hear the warning bells! also, this is leaving you with no support system or escape if you do break up or have a fight.

ok, nuff for now

Just this new years, I was out on the west coast, and my g/f stayed up till 3 in the morning to countdown with me, after I had also counted down with her. Nice, huh?

Lauren Hafford 02-01-2003 18:19

I don't know about you guys, but i date to have fun!
No rules, no regulations, I mean....how can it be fun if you're constantly wondering if you're doing it all right? It won't matter in the long run, becuase most of us are just in high school or college and personally i'm not looking for my lifelong mate at this point in my life. relaxation and honesty are things that make dating fun because neither person is hiding anything and we can laugh at anything.

less rules = less uptight
less uptight = more fun
more fun = good!

... What's the point of dating if not to find your 'lifelong mate'? I mean, obviously if you're dating with someone who bores you to death, you should end the relationship - but isn't the point of dating to find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with? You should be relaxed and honest with anyone. Don't hide things from people, both of you will only end up getting hurt in the long run.
