Another dating rant, why do GF's alway want to meet someplace imposable?

[scottmandue]

Okay, I'm willing to rub elbows with the beautiful people and go window shopping because I know ladies dig that kind of stuff.
So she emails me why don't we meet tomorrow noon at 2nd street in Long Beach (Belmont Shore). To those who don't know 2nd street is a hip beach neighborhood that gets extremely crowded and has very little parking... especially on a Sunday afternoon.

She is a professional business woman so I know she can be logical when it is required... but when it comes to social planing she is completely off the map.

So I just got off the phone with her and suggested we meet down by the Marina (a few blocks away with a GIANT parking lot) where we met before.
"Well I you know I don't eat seafood so that won't work for me".
" I know, we could just meet there then move on to one of the other restaurants in the area".
"Well, let me go online and check out the restaurants in the area and I will call you back".

Sorry, just needed to vent.

Two world colliding.... need I say more?

it's a test. try not to fail.

[singpilot]

That's a bad omen. She's thinking you're thinking that she isn't worth the effort to get a parking space, and you're thinking she is being difficult. She's thinking you're gonna trap her into a seafood place, and she already has been meeting too many losers at that part of the marina, and that the wait staff is already recognizing her as the witch with the blind dates.

Her name isn't Sharon is it?

High maintainance while dating? Stupid girl. Stupid, single girl.

My g/f just bought a modular home & all is finished but the flooring. She has a total of 1700 sqft., 1500 of which is Cherry hardwood flooring the remaining 300 is tile. Labor to install both would run between $8500 - $10,000, if she were paying labor.
I'm doing the job for free & she blows off the day without even a phone call to go shopping with a friend.

If you do not get a very nice (and long) back (and front) rub tonight then its time to start looking for a new squeeze. I would put up with that crap when I was younger but do not need it now. There are enough girls around who do not play games to continue to put up with this sort of BS. Let her do her own floor or call next time...

sounds like she kicked you in the nuts........

hand her a bill when you're done

[svandamme]

oh , constructive advice and tips and sjit

next time , be assertive , you tell HER where you will meet her
all that crap about emancipated women is a lie even they don't believe
YOU tell THEM where you will meet em , and that's the way it's gonna be, take it or leave it missy.

In my opinion, you weren't firm enough in your wording. This is of course, very delicate.

You say, "Great idea (for a place to go) but I have to park here (in the big parking lat) if we're going to go there."

That's a method of supporting her decision of a place to go, but putting you're requirements as a condition she must meet.

Works most of the time.

LOL!

Uh no... her name is not Sharon... at least as far as I know.

She emailed me a couple of choices... one of them was at the marina so I jumped on it. I played the waiting game and got a win-win.

My point being she hates crowds, hates traffic, then wants to meet in one of the busiest parts of town.

Funny thing is Belmont shore is rumored to have a large gay population... funnier yet is that it being an affluent beach town on the weekends there is no shortage of hotties walking up and down the street in bikini's.

that's the pussy way out , the one that possibly get's some success, but ensures becoming pussywhipped

is say no
be different


tell her , flatout ,
no woman
we're not going to the stinking seafood resto

we're going to the Hells Angels Birthday Bash , in honour of Fat Lou who , yes, has gotten more fat in his 48th year ...

and yes you will like it !.....

Fat Lou deserves some friendlyness... he hasn't seen much of it while he was in St-Quentin

[scottmandue]

Uh to clarify hot women in bikini's

Not far from CSULB either if you know what I mean.

Mostly snobs though, not my kind of hood.

There is truly no natural limit to the misery a woman can inflict if she is so inclined. Learned it early. Learned it once. I'm done.

Agreed but only if you continue to let them do it.

Put down the guidelines and do it early, that way everyone knows their limits. I stopped thinking with my lower head years ago and life has gotten a lot easier since.

Rather than doing her floor, I would have offered to do her on the floor, take it or leave it...
