Opposites Connect

The gist of the web site goes off the premise of “opposites attract.” I believe it is an idea that is brilliant! The creator Larry Wilson is scheduled to introduce the website on June first. If you register on the internet site now you’ll get a membership that is free life.

Early in the day tonight we stumbled upon the Opposites Connect Faceb k Fan webpage and started studying the status messages. They inquire in their status messages such as for instance “Heinz or Hunts?” “Mary Ann or Ginger?” “Partridge Family or Brady Bunch.” The one that caught my eye however was this “What sticks out in your thoughts since the most notable, interesting, special minute of the recent date, or any date you’ve been on?”

Well, as much of you realize I have gone online and played the internet dating game. ( also it’s funny it a “game” because my profile always said “No head games! that I call” LOL!) I have stories to inform, both bad and g d. I do believe probably the most unforgettable one had been having a guy I’ll call Joe. Joe asked me personally to generally meet him at Houlihan’s in Crossgates Mall for a drink one night after work. ( I ENJOY Houlihan’s Guavatinis ) We got together, had a number of beverages and even ordered an appetizer. Our discussion ended up being okay, but it was kind of bland and I also actually didn’t discover the guy super physically attractive. Plus I HATE it when individuals lie. (Always tell the truth ) Joe’s profile said he had been 5′ 9″ – did he somehow think I wouldn’t barely notice that he came up to my neck? ( I’m 6″ that is 5′ Fast forward just a little bit – to once the bill arrived. Joe dove for this. Fine, I’m perhaps not going to arm wrestle and tear it in two. I asked him to see the bill and so I could at least spend half. He insisted which he spend.

I’ve male friends have been participating in internet dating round the same time and they always reported about girls who went they had been going broke due to it! using them, got supper, etc. and never called once again and exactly how! Therefore, being the considerate gal that we am we thought it only fair that I pay half for two reasons. One – i did son’t understand the man well and felt I should pay my personal means. I did son’t desire to feel as him anything if I“owed. Two – Since I really wasn’t drawn to him and knew we’dn’t be going on a second date – we felt guilty permitting him pay.

After about half hour of going back and forth about the bill we finally simply threw in the towel and allow him go. Trust me – I argued. I couldn’t overl k it on any longer because I was seriously getting really frustrated. Because he was kind of a jerk about it if I had liked the guy prior to getting the bill, the back and forth over who was paying would have killed any shot of a second date.

Shifting – we walk out to the shopping center to state our g dbyes because I had plans and had to satisfy some body. He stated one thing such as “I had a very nice time with you – do you want to get notice a movie on the weekend?” I told him he was nice, but I really didn’t think we were a g d match and I didn’t want to waste his time that I thought. Are you able to believe the man had the_ that is___ to say “Are you kidding me? I simply paid for your f d and products and you won’t go on another date with me??” The guy seriously appeared as if he believed I was into him and I owed him another date as though he purchased a solution for admission. Can you envisage exactly how annoyed I was at this time? I believe I told him one thing such as “No, you’re perhaps not obtaining a 2nd opportunity to make a very first impression, as well as for future guide, starting a quarrel by having a woman for a first date is NOT a g d idea. I made myself clear I becamen’t comfortable permitting you to pay – you insisted and I caved which means you wouldn’t create a scene in the restaurant.”

I’ve other interesting relationship tales in my archives, but I’m curious what stories you dudes have actually. Since I have think for probably the most part I have different readers – I’d like to know your answer to their concern on Opposites Connect’s Twitter webpage.

“What stands apart in your thoughts as the most notable, intriguing, unique minute of the date that is recent or any date you’ve been on?”
