I haven't dated for a long time but I was shocked out of my skin when my married muslim neighbour made a pass at me the other night.

That and my sundress I think ... and perhaps the fact that his wife has gone home to Tunisia for a month.
I can't look at him in the same light anymore though.

Re: Dating Etiquette

Thank you Norsk/Ethos,

You have made me look at this in a different light, shagging/dating is like shopping, I'm an impulsive shopper, I see something I like I buy it, (I may regret it later but generally i have good taste so don't want to return things) but I don't hesitate at the store. But when its a big investment in I way up the pros and cons and think about it being very cautious to put my impulsive instints at bay, unless I reallly really REALLY love it and can't resist buying it now matter what it costs!

I wonder if shopping habits actually show how someone is going to be in the sack... hmm interesting- first date we're going shopping lol

You might be right - When I go shopping, I sit in the coffee shop doing nothing and let Lisa get on with it...

I point to it in the Argos catalogue and she gets it.

only kidding, if it's for me then I'm good for 45mins before I just give up and buy the first thing in front of me.

At the risk of getting slapped, how do you ladies go about buying an expensive handbag?

At the risk of getting slapped, men are sometimes like handbags - they look good on your arm but best changed every season....

Re: Dating Etiquette

I don't think your analogy works at all --

I park near the entrance. Race to the store I'm interested in. Buy exactly what I came for. Exit the mall and drive away as quickly as possible. It's over in 5 minutes or less.

Just ask my missus.

Women are like country & western songs ––
They're annoying, they all sound alike, but if you really listen to them you'll get depressed and drink a lot.

And I thought I was at risk of getting slapped.
