    Polyamory and threesomes are not the same, correct?

    Okay, excellent. To what extent have you explicitly verbalised this to him? It's all well and good for posters above who don't understand your situation to label him an "uncaring beast," and encourage you to "open your eyes" (which I find super patronising, btw), but the truth is that none of...

    Polyamory and threesomes are not the same, correct?

    I respect your honesty. What I'm hearing is that if you're going to have sex with anyone, regardless of if it's a threesome, you need to feel a level of trust, whereas James just wants to enjoy the fantasy. Neither of you are wrong here, but I do agree with you that he is getting so wrapped...

    Polyamory and threesomes are not the same, correct?

    Another way of looking at it could be to ask yourself the question: 'What would I need in order to feel comfortable about going ahead with this situation?' As in, you rightly say J is being too pushy, which implies you're not comfortable enough yet. That also implies you may be comfortable...

    Saying Things You Don't Really Mean (and assumptions that follow)

    This is good stuff, I like it - you talk a shitload of sense.

    Guitar Center....*SNARL*

    As a fellow guitar player (I actually played at a wedding and funeral in the space of the last 18 months) I feel your pain here. Never bothered with electric though for some reason. Still...once you get these annoying issues ironed out, it will be all plain sailing. Except for the painful...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    Exactly. Details (within reason) tend to add to the story, helps to build up a picture of what's going on. A lot of times when I say 'a girl contacted me', I get questioned on what she was like...hence this gives a quick picture. I certainly wasn't expecting the 15 pages of discussion on Asia...

    In fairness, I will try...but will most likely forget. You may have to prod me.

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    It was a joke...but thanks anyway. Maybe it doesn't translate across the Atlantic. So I had an email ready for her 'OMG U SO HAWWWT DOGG I ONLY LIKE US COS YOU ASIAN LOLZ!!!' Are you saying that I shouldn't be sending that?

    I need some dating advice!

    Well done...a bit of courage goes a long way. You don't need to plan some amazing super date...dinner and/or drinks is fine, preferably with some location you can take her back to afterwards (like your place, or hers). Go for some drinks, then invite her back to yours to see your...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    So I got an email either today or yesterday from a very cute Asian girl in her mid 20s saying that I sounded perfect for her. Being as I love to fish for compliments I asked specifically what it was that appealed so much...and it turned out that she emailed me because my profile said I was...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    Thanks for your response...I can say that you talk a shitload of sense. Actually I'm very much on the extraverted end of the scale, but it's still not that easy to meet people when out and about. It's just not that easy to bump into the kind of person I'm looking for...maybe I'm just too picky...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    I will forgive anyone for going off topic if they also amuse me in the process. I know, I'm a total hypocrite...one rule for one, one rule for another. We English all dress in tights, Robin Hood style. I wasn't around in the middle ages, but I'm sure they found a dernier tight ideal, offering...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    This is very true...it's nice to know you're on the same page as someone from the off. One thing a well written profile does is weed out the tire kickers and unsuitables. That said...I'm still getting the tshirt made. The tights...well I have plenty of those ;)

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    Yes, I see all women as trophies, responsible for making me happy. Also, the only reason I want anything in life is because society tells me I should want it, or because I may get approval from others. Also because I have goals in life, that means I'm unhappy with my life as it is, and I'm...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    Strangely, despite the fact that your intention is to disagree, your first paragraph actually agrees with everything I said. I'm responsible for getting what I want in life, so I go and get it. However if we could stick to the facts and not make a ton of assumptions, that would be nice (or...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    Fair enough if that works for you, but I am not a passive person in that way. I like to go out and and 'get' what I want. Sometimes I don't get it, and that's fine. Sometimes it turns out what I thought I wanted wasn't what I wanted, and that's also fine. Also, if you wait for another person to...
