I learned, the hard way, that guys on Match who only post closed-mouth smiles have really bad teeth if they have any teeth at all.

Nickname for Pon Raul: How ’bout you call him “Jinx” that way you WILL want to jinx it?

I use nicknames alot both on the blog and in real life….mainly to protect the guilty but I’m fine with that.

I already have blog nicknames picked out for two of the three men I have upcoming dates with. You know–even though I know there’s a 99% chance I will never need those nicknames. And I totally understand about the not wanting to jinx things. When a date goes reasonably OK, that’s the date I do not write about.

Good luck!

Some of them just come naturally. I think you have to be like a Native American and earn it…

Elizabeth – That mustard and ketchup thing seems like the one thing that could be the real dealbreaker – Ha!

Happy upcoming anniversary! Congratulations!

I should let my mom respond to this comment, but I think she’s at work…

Wow! I'm pissed when my husband takes a 15 minute call from his mother. Please forgive me but your dating observations are funny to me, in the kind of way that makes me envious of your strength and fearful that I will ever have to do it again. You're my hero. I hope that they are funny. If I have a bad date, I'd rather turn it into a good story, instead of a waste of my time. Dating hasn't been that bad so far. I don't know how much more of it I can take, though. I just want to skip to the cuddling.

Damn, I should really write about some of my internet dating experiences. I'd start with my ill-fated meeting of NPW, but she already covered that. You mean it gets better than the NPW date?

Just want 3carnations to know that not only do Noelle’s father and I have different religions and political views, but we also root for different baseball teams. And he puts mustard (as opposed to ketchup) on his burgers.

But next week we’ll be celebrating our 36th anniversary, so go figure!

P.S. We DO like the same off-beat movies, so maybe that’s what matters!

I really can’t believe you guys got over the ketchup / mustard thing. Also, I think that none of us really want to believe that Dad is a Republican.

Oh god... open mouth, insert foot. That poor guy. He must have been intimidated by your makeup-ed good looks! Yeah, I'm quite the stunner when there's color all over my face.

Thinking of blog names is one of my favorite things about blogging; actually, I used togive any man I dated a "name" whether he made it to my blog or not. I'm glad you had a great date, and perhaps the Ron Paul thing can eventually be forgiven (or better yet, converted). I love nicknames! Although it drives me crazy when I can't think of a perfect one.

Before I met my husband, I went out on a date with a guy, only to learn halfway through dinner that he had a serious girlfriend in Pittsburgh. Why do guys do that? So bizarre. Glad to hear that things are good! Are some guys just never satisfied? Also, why would you admit that on a date?
