[Cbrider]

I have come to the stark realization tonight, that I am not as on my game as I use to be. I saw a handful of cute, and presumably single women out tonight with their girlfriend(s).

I use to drink a lot harder than I do these days. $30 and $40 a bar tabs, but now I'm hitting like $10 with the tip included. I just don't have the spontaneous and bold attitude that I have when I am more intoxicated. I guess its better to meet women when I am more coherent and myself. It's like learning how to ride a bike again, or so it feels like that.

I'm the one on the unknown side now, and it feels weird. /shrug

I would never go to a bar and pay $30-40 for alcohol.

To quote a favourite author of mine "age is, jeune rab"

You're suppose to convert all that dutch courage experience into suave wisdom. Fewer targets with higher ROI.

I'm in exactly the same position cbrider. Exactly the same. I do pretty much all my women-meeting when I'm intoxicated to some degree.

A year on, I'm about to turn 27 and I'm still pretty much in the same boat. I keep thinking I should move on.

[doppelgaenger]

I gotta say, I'm in quite the opposite boat. I do get intoxicated, but I've never dated a woman I met while intoxicated.

[Charlie Boy II]

get rid of that obnoxious signature, you idiot.

I have a friend in NYC who says NO ONE dates the old fashioned way anymore, and that if you want to date, you have to meet them through one of those dating sites. In fact, I know 3 people from back east that met their significant others that way. I think the appeal is that you know the person you are meeting up with is actively looking. I wonder if that is the way ALL dating will take place in the future.

Have you guys considered this type of dating?

[valhensing]

never been to a bar but in my imagination, 30-40$ per bar tab isnt that much right?

1st of all, what is your definition of old fashion dating??
And i dont think i'll date someone i met on dating sites... I wont come to dating sites anyway. Total strangers isnt a good idea

[vashti]

Old fashioned, meaning you just meet someone in person, and then strike up a relationship... no computer involvement.

[qwertz]

I know what you mean..I used to drink a fair amount (though i knew my limits..most of the time )
Now i go out and my friends still drink the same amount but i just dont have the enthusiasm for it anymore- i feel old before my time

As for the women..well they will probably appreciate you being more coherant when you talk to them ..i wouldnt say no

[Primo]

Well, I think Vashti's friend has a point. It's nice to be able to have that option in this day and age...to get to know someone, share a bit about yourself and have a lead in so to speak for when you do get together.

You can tell alot about someone from the way they write and express themselves. It's easy to share pics too, so you know what they look like. It's a win-win situation imo, a nice alternative to hanging out with your friends in a pub.

I saw CB's pics too Qwerty, he's a big hunk of young American man

That works both ways, as i think some people can come across totally different on screen to what they actually are in person, in good and bad ways.

That's true IRL as well. Tho I suppose you get the body language feedback then, which can be as much distraction as information.

I think I'm more open to meeting ppl IRL and just talking to them. I'd be a lot more selective about who I actually made the effort to meet from online.
