Xfire Date
Re: Xfire Date
This is the best post I have seen for ages.
It's certainly the first time I have ever read a 8 page post.
Sorry It didn't work out for me.
I'm glad I'm not single I don't think I could find anyone else stupid enough to go out with me although the Crossfire does get some admiring glances from the ladies.

Re: Xfire Date
Arcrist...
I feel for ya', buddy. I sensed there was going to be a weight issue. Truth be known, I had a similar situation happen to me many years ago only on a much grander scale...
I had met this girl on AOL and developed a "relationship" with her over the course of months. Internet chat and phone calls. She was in California, Me, in Florida. Pictures were exchanged and hers looked very nice, but never well posed or a bit blurry. Still, she looked good and described herself as shown.
Then came a business meeting she had in Atlanta and we decided to meet there for a lust-filled weekend together. After traveling hundreds of miles (at her expense!), we finally met. And she was very fat and very ugly. The pics were years old and I'm not even sure if they were her. And here I was, chained to her for not 1, not 2, but 3 days. And being that she paid my way, she is now expecting me to live up to my end of the deal, if ya' catch my drift. Re-telling this story in its entirety has left many wiping tears of laughter from their eyes. It was a nightmare.
Long story short, always assume the worst regarding the appearance of an internet generated date.
And NEVER fly to a far away city to first meet for a 3 day romantic rendezvous.
One more thing... I think most people here are just disappointed we all didn't wake up to a "she made me breakfast" thread about what we hoped would be your new-found honey.
Keep tryin'.

Re: Xfire Date
Now this has been entertainment!
There has been some good advice here so take it on board. One thing I can suggest like mentioned earlier, dress nice, women like a man who puts in an effort in his appearance. My partner, she buys me clothes I would never pick out, when I wear them I get loads of compliments, from other women! Talk to a female friend who has some good taste or as before go into a store and chat with the female assistant, oh and women love confidence. My Girlfriend use to laugh at me to her friends about my terrible clothes, I thought I looked great, they thought I looked stupid, but I eventually got the girl and now apparently fashion sense, good luck.

Re: Xfire Date
Please don't make me re-live those not-so-tender moments.
Let's just say I became an expert in rotating the use of timely headaches and out-of-body transcendental meditation.
For those that care, I'll add a bit more... For the first day and a half, it was impossible to get away from her for even a moment. I was finally able to elude her long enough to sneak to a pay phone (this was pre-cell phone days). I hurriedly called my mother and told her the phone number of the hotel we were in and to call me early the next morning and put on a frantic act about my father having a heart attack and that I was needed home immediately. When the call came, I made sure to hold the phone away from my ear enough so that she could hear my mother's end of the conversation, who I must add won a best supporting actress oscar. I went into my own statuette-winning performance of grave concern and upset. It cost me a hundred bucks to change my flight, but I got out a day early. Once home, I took a long shower using a brillo pad as my luffa.
The kicker is that I met a very nice girl on the plane ride home. I told her the whole story of my time in Atlanta. She was quite amused. Frankly, it was the first time I was able to laugh about it. We dated a couple of times, but the chemistry wasn't there.
Trust me, I've still only scratched the surface of this ordeal.

Re: Xfire Date
Hey young guys,
I've been out of circulation for a long while and things have changed, but rule # 1 was always:
Never commit to anything more than coffee or an after work drink on the first blind date.
You need to check each other out and have a quick escape if the chemistry isn't there.
Rule #2
Listen to us old guys. I wish there was a forum with this much info when I was in my 20's.
Good luck!

Re: Xfire Date
^^^ Just what he said. I wish I had this type of advice earlier in life. The online dating thing is one way of meeting someone but a true "shot in the dark". After my divorce 8 years ago I tried the match.com thing and oh boy did I have some experiences. The funny thing is the great gal I am dating now I met at the Y and we started off as friends and now have been dating for over 2 years. She is right there in front of me the whole time while I am out having these "wacky" dates online. That is my point sometimes it is right in front of your face...you just don't see it.
Re: Xfire Date
LOL do the "nasty" is right. Ewww.
I should of gone to a clothing store last night, instead I got some vodka and jagermeister and played C&C3 (command and conquer 3). Won 4 games in a row though!
I'm still done with online dating, i usually have more luck with asking out cashiers anyways. Chapel Hill would be a good place to go, but I don't really want my xfire in that area.
