CUTE! 1,3,11,12 might get you a few laughs. 6 & 10 might be an “oh” moment. 2 won’t get you anywhere unless you’re with a fellow nerd (I know this)but also has the potential to expose the faker! 5,8,& 9 will carry the entire date. As for 4 & 7, judging by your other post you are too smooth to have actually used either of them! Cute list though, 21 questions is a good ice breaker too!
These are not necessarily about me exactly, they are examples of keeping the conversation flowing with positive and not so positive, but always honest conversation. Remember men, women want you to tell her a little something about you but don’t reveal too much too soon and come off self-centered. Some answers on the list you can say I’ll tell you that story on our second date if I’m so lucky once again. Once she responds or questions, answer it, and then follow it up with a question to her. Try not to ask her the exact question she asked you too often, that shows that you are not creative enough to engage her. You want her not to be able to predict your conversation, remember, a predictable movie is boring. Most importantly, listen to her responses, then follow it up with a question about her answer so that it shows that you were listening and interested in who she is. Use humor to respond to her comments, but make sure she is not the butt of all your attempts at humor. Keep you eyes off of her cleavage or the waitress’s ass, focus on her eyes, but don’t spook her out by staring.
JH, have you been watching HITCH again……
Omg Songbird, I was going to say that but didn’t want to be too much of a smart butt! HA! I’m aware ALL may not be about you but I AM sort of suspect about number 3…that may be true! Bed wetting at a late age isn’t that bad though, in fact I recently heard that some grown ups still wet the bed in intense circumstances! So share number 3 with confidence, “You are not alone” (in my best MJ singing voice).
#1-I wanna be a Bond Girl (007-James Bond)
#2–My goal is to be fluent in Spanish & French by Dec 27, 2010.
#3- I have ALL but three of Bruce Lee movies.
#4- F-U-C-K is my FAVORITE curse word. But i don’t encourage the use of it. That’s doin way too fuc… much.
#5-I wonder what it would be like, to play “Hide-n-go Get It,” as an adult? hmmmmm
It would probably be really fun to play “hide and go get it” as an adult. That is really funny. This is my first time on his blog site and i think it is really nice and pretty funny. I found this on a friends facebook as a website to few, glad i checked it out. I am assuming J Harris is the person writing the stories, good job.
#1 I have a tendency to smell EVERYTHING!!!
#2 I LOVE gazing at the stars
#3 I too would love to play Hide go Get it as an adult…. gonna try that tonight

#9 When I FINALLY open my heart to a person, I give my ALL
#10 I wouldn’t mind having twins one day
In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question: What kind of man are you looking for? She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, Do you really want to know? Reluctantly, he said, yes. She began to expond, as a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what can you do for me that I can’t do for myself? I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, what can you bring to the table? The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for excellence in every aspect of life. He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain. She said, I need someone who is striving for excellence mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don’t need a simple-minded man. I need someone who is striving for excellence spiritually because I don’t need to be unequally yoked….believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. I need someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I need someone who has integrity in dealing with relationships. Lies and game-playing are not my idea of a strong man. I need a man who is family-oriented. One who can be the leader, protector and provider to the lives entrusted to him by God. I need someone whom I can respect…In order to be submissive, I must respect him. And by the way, I am not looking for him….he will find me. He will recognize himself in me. He may be not be able to explain the connection, but he will always be drawn to me. When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face, he said, You are are asking a lot. She replied, I’m worth a lot.
Love it Sharlene!!!
Thanks SongbirdLA!!! (wink)
We tend to have our “representative” on our first few dates. But to show vulnerabilities is reassuring and showing that you are willing to open up and show who you really are. So your list should be a mix of strong and weak characteristics. This will be reciprocated and the end result of your relationship, for better or worse, will be realized quicker.
