Polls: Dating

I do. If I'm out with a guy in the first place I'm attracted to him physically at least.

I was talking to my sisters a little bit ago and they were in utter shock and almost disgust that I KISS a guy on a first date. I really don't think it's scandalous or a big deal.

They were like, "I really need to like a guy to kiss him." And I was thinking wtf, hypocrites. They're both sexually active and I'm not, although my one sister was with her first serious boyfriend and the other sister just had 3 f*** buddies...

So what about you?

How close would you have to be? For me, I'd share food with really close guys friends or guys that I like. I can't help but think of it as an indirect kiss. It kinda gets me excited in a weird way, haha. How easily do you share food with the opposite gender if at all? Any friend? Or only closer friends that you like (as a friend)?

OK, so I asked this guy out, and he wants to know when?, I'm so stoked that he even replied. But I want to know : What's the best first date?

-There isn't a lot to do because there is still snow on the ground.

I'm really good friends with a guy I met online. We talk all the time for hours. He's really nice and calls me princess, angel, etc.

Recently he said he wanted to hear my voice. At first, I had to tell him I didn't have much money on my phone (prepaid) and he said he would put money on my phone so that we could hear my voice.

Is it normal for a guy to want to hear his female friend's voice?

Could it be that he has romantic feelings for me?

Just a question that seems to come up often. So, suppose you meet this amazing person. Said person was in a relationship sometime before you that produced a child, and for whatever reason, said person broke it off with their ex*. Now s/he is alone raising this child.

Would you still want to date him/her, or would you consider this person to be "damaged goods"? If you did decide to date, when would be the appropriate time to meet the kid(s)? Would you have any insecurities going in?

*The situation could be:

1) Said person's ex cheated on them, and they left rather than stay in a compromised relationship.

2) Said person was actually the "other person" in an affair, and their "ex" left them for their original partner.

3) Said person's ex was abusive, and they left to escape the relationship.

4) Said person and their ex separated for other, less "dramatic" reasons, more or less peacefully.

Would it be a factor if the ex was involved in custody of their child? Would you date if they had no contact with their ex?

Just wondering if single parents can still be "on the market".

So, if the deal was you had to give up seeing/talking to one of them ever again, like they'd completely leave your life, who would you pick as the one to keep?

My first thought was, "Oh, I'd keep my friend, I've known him longer, and I wouldn't want to lose him!" But then I was like, "Um, no, I couldn't live without my boyfriend! I love him!" So what would you say, girls? Is friendship or love stronger in this case?

One of my professors today told me that the students on our campus are involved in way too much drama (which really is true).

He mentioned that when he was younger, it was perfectly acceptable to date multiple people at a time, whereas today things are much more different, and people seem to get too serious too fast in their relationships.

What do you think?

If you're out there in the dating world because you want to find someone you just might fall in love with, do you think it's okay to date a couple people, and compare them, etc.?

Or is it better to focus all of your attention to just one person?

Please vote and discuss, I've gotten pretty curious about what you guys think. [:

My issue:

He is a very long time friend.

He has been to war

we had sex twice

we have kissed out of no where before

So... Does he like me in your opinion?

Is it okay to ask out a Sarah, if your last girlfriend's name was Sarah?

Can you date a Ryan, if your ex's name is Ryan?

Is it too weird? Or do names not matter?

Would you do it?

A lisp is a speech impediment in which a person has problem pronouncing "s" or "z" correctly actually making the sound of "th".I have a slight lisp.Therefore,I usually carry on the "s" or "z" making it sound more like hissing-the sound snakes make.Lately,I've been getting very self-conscious about my lisp.I've gone to speech therapy,but it doesn't help.And as shallow and insecure as this may seem or sound,I just wanted to know if you guys would ever date a girl with a lisp.Please answer honestly.Thanks.

If you can,please explain why or why not.

I have this crush on this guy and he knows it. He always flirts back with me and knows that I'm looking to date him. He and I chatted two nights ago and he said call me tomorrow, I'm going to bed. So I said, no you call me tomorrow. He said whatever you want boss. And then I didn't hear from him at all yesterday and I haven't heard from him today either and it's already almost four pm. When a guy likes you does he try to get a hold of you? Or is he playing that "chase" game and he wants me to get a hold of him? Will I look desperate if I text him?

Some people can tend to fall for close friends or people they've known for a long time.

There are many things people have said to me about this. Some say, if the person in question really is that great of a friend, then you can either date and decide it's a bad idea, or decide not to date each other at all, and you can still be friends with this person without anything being weird or changed. Do you agree? Or do you think that dating a friend can only lead to trouble?
