I've been single every since I started posting on this board. I've kind of enjoyed it too. I get to do whatever I want, whenever I want, with whom ever I want.
Well ... I got an e-mail from an X flame. She was pretty much my first real love. ( We stayed together for about 5 years. That was a long, long time ago. ) so anyways, we had lunch the other day in Louisville. She wants to go out again tomorrow.
I'm a little nervous. ( I've been single for so long ) I don't even know what we're going to do tomorrow night.
I think I have a new girlfriend !!

Good call. I sure as heck won't do you any good in the advice department. I've been married since g*d was in the first grade.
Best,

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Be yourself and be her friend. I don't really know how old you are (and am too lazy to go look it up), but a lot of times friendship is better than romance, especially when you've known someone that long.
Oh yeah -- and be sure to open doors and pick up the tab.  Girls like that.
Hugs BD

Thanks Barb. BTW ... I'm 37 and I did pick up the tab for our lunch. Haven't had the chance to open any doors yet though.

Do not under any circumstances mention any other relationships, when you first had sex and with whom or anything that pertains to your previous love life.
Just relax and enjoy the company and ask questions about her. If you find that you are, show that you are interested in getting to know what she's all about.

Sometimes Often, make her feel like she's more important than the game, fishing trip or fill in the blank. There is nothing more romantic than knowing you're number 1. I'm very happy for you, Michael. If she makes you feel like you're number 1...she's a keeper.

Donna, as a single woman I disagree with you.
Always always always tell the truth. No matter the question, tell the truth, because if the relation takes off well, it will come to light at some time if you've lied and then you'll be in a position to start another line of lies to cover up the first ones. It becomes a viscious cycle. Don't go there. Be honest to her and yourself. Nothing good ever comes from deciept.

I think you might have misunderstood me. I didn't say to lie, I just said don't bring it up.
I've had someone I really could have cared for talk excessivly about past relationships, how he young he was when his familys houskeeper seduced him, etc. and it was an immediate turn off.
No, I don't believe in lying.....I just think it is not productive to talk about past relationships.

Yeah, lie your ass off to her.
So how does she look? Little different or lots different?

Dear Unsolved,
First of all congratulations , its nice to have a bit of romance in life to spice things up, the things that make your heart go flip flop can brighten the whole outlook.
The fact that she emailed you first for a date then wanting to go out again TOMORROW means that she thinks you are pretty cool and good looking too
So relax, be yourself, have fun. A confident, funny and genuine guy is extremely sexy to any woman . Just have fun and enjoy the company, enjoy the things you will do together, no matter what it is.
However, if things are going to be serious then think first about whether or not you are willing to let go of your freedom as a bachelor and then what it was that caused the rift between you and her all those years ago, to make sure that its not still there.
In the meantime, be yourself and she wont be able to resist your charm
Good luck with it all.
Annette

Pretty much the same advice from me. One of my best friend gets along so well with everybody and it's because he asks lots of questions and accepts help when it's needed. People love to be needed.
Good luck.

I think I see a correlation.
Might be that spending 8 hrs a day on this board doesn't do much for your social life.
And as much fun as it is for us, most chicks probably don't think it's quite as cool as we do...
So your romance advice is to step away from the computer for a while!

Just be yourself - for me thats the only thing I want from a man, no false expectations, no doing stuff he won't keep up, just letting me see him as he is and that havin the confidence to be yourself with no "gimmicks" is very sexy! Nothing is nicer than being with people who are comfortable in their own skin
Now have a wonderful day!

I agree here. Confidence IS very sexy, and a genuine guy makes us want to be around him more. But remember: no gross guy stuff. There is seeing you as you are, and seeing you as you are around the guys. Remember your manners!
Congrats and have fun!

P.S. that high school love.... I married mine 26 years later

Let her do as much of the talking as you can. Women LOVE to talk about themselves, and letting them shows your interested in what she has to say.
