Just newely divorced... how the hell does a date work now-a-days??

[Zite83]

Never do movies... they are a waste of time that could be used to get to know each other... Dinner is nice... but nothing fancy don't waste too much money on the first date.. also ... find a place to walk around after dinner.. or some simple activity... having the scenery change periodically will help bring up conversions. And talking and getting to know each other is what first dates are for... No movies!!! :thumbup:

Sounds like great advice thanks.... now if only I can find other topics of conversation than WoW and Multiboxng.... ?(

Btw... she's best friends with my roommate's girlfriend and they are both big gamers so I'm hoping she is too!

Gratz on Being on Single Again-

Here is a brief list of Marathons in Florida. I hear that Miami Marathon is awesome with huge crowds and I know of several people who have run the marathons in Disney World and they said they where a blast too. Now I know what your thinking what does this have to do with dating advice. Simple. Join a running club in your area and train for one of these marathons. I recommend USA Fit here is there website http://www.usafit.com

The running clubs in your area are just not running clubs they are social clubs. Where while you are running you are chatting and meeting new people. Also most of the running clubs will have social events through out the year where you hang out for drinks and food etc. And while your club may not be full of single people, they will all know people who are single who they can hook you up with. And believe it or not Running events like the marathon or half marathon are a great place to meet new people. Further more at the races you can do what I do which is write your name on your chest before a race and while your are running people will cheer for you and call out your name. And this is even a better way to meet new people because after they call your name you can stop and ask what thier name is etc ... It may sound silly but it works.

Now you may not be a runner and that is kewl. But if your recently divorced, and you want a way to really change your life, get out there meet new people, maybe lose some weight, maybe tone some muscle I highly recommend running in one of these events. There are no bums running the marathon and completing one of these races will give you the self confidence to do anything.

And bottomline what better way to start your new single life then by setting some fitness goals and really getting yourself in great shape.


Marathon of the Palm Beaches West Palm Beach, Florida
A1A Marathon Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Breast Cancer Marathon Jacksonville, Florida
Florida Gulf Beaches Marathon Clearwater, Florida
ING Miami Marathon Miami, Florida
Disney World Marathon Orlando, Florida
Space Coast Marathon Melbourne, Florida

Best of luck on the dating scence and I hope this helps :thumbup:

Running a marathon.... hmmm.... I must say... the longest time I ever spent running was when I was on auto run and went afk and forgot to come back until 30 minutes later to find myself still alive and running thru terrain (this wasn't wow, this was asheron's call).

I'm not a long distance runner and I have a personal fitness trainer I see twice a week (thru work yay) but it's a novel idea indeed. I just think me, sweaty and smelly, isn't the first impression I want to make upon a lovely woman for dating purposes

Btw... she's best friends with my roommate's girlfriend and they are both big gamers so I'm hoping she is too!

Just a thought.. try listening to her.. ask her questions about herself.. and find out what she likes to do..

I'm 42. Been gaming since 'PONG" and have yet to date a gamer Gal. The last three all said they were "cool" with it. But yet I'm single again lol. And its been games ( EQ the first time, DaoC the second and WoW this last time) I will never date anyone that is not a gamer again..period. There is no way to explain, relate, or make since of what we do to someone who does not do it. They just don't GET IT!

Example of one of my RL conversations
Her- " Hey honey can you run to the store and grab some more milk real fast, so i can finish dinner? "
ME -" Ok Baby, just let me get to a safe spot so my guy doesn't die"
Her- " umm just pause it and go get the milk please!"
Me- "Well sweetheart, I cant pause it. I have to be someplace safe. There is no "pause" in this game. Ill only be a few minutes and ill go get the milk, ok?"
Her- "F%$K IT, Ill go get it myself!"

In a non gamers mind we are obsessed, or even possessed with "the game" and even though they start out supportive in the beginning, they end up angry and bitter like the above example.

I have two choices for love in my life. QUIT gaming or find a gamer 8) And if i have been doing this since i was a wee little boy, what are the chances of my quitting? ZILCH!!

I am jealous

well are you trying to get your winkie wet or meet someone for a date and see what happends from there? I feel as tho you should stay away from anything serious and just find someone to play with your ding dong.

Easy way to hook 101

Find a rave. Eat some E, find a hottie on it as well. Done. People :thumbsup: are so easy nowadays it hurts me.

What you've described above is just a very immature self-centered person. Gaming was probably just a catalyst to the issue... not the route cause.

Your statement reminded me of an article that I read a while back.

In any case, I ended up playing WoW at his house all the time and eventually we moved in together and started multiboxing.

That's hawt. Think about that. It's like cyber or sumtin.
