In reply to OMG -- Back at computer after date with EMT Guy, posted by temmie on July 24, 2003, at 21:29:28
Great for you Temmie! Good show! Out with the old, in with the new! Now...just in case you thought I advocate the "party girl" mentality, let's have a reality check for a moment shall we? I'm gonna give you some more of that "guy" insight. This is what I think you should do. Don't call this Dennis guy back. At least for a while. First of all, never trust a man who invites you to his boat on the first date! LOL! But second, I think you should put this whole "rebound" thing to bed ASAP. Here's how. Go on a second date with someone else as soon as possible. This time, ask out someone you know. Just for dinner. Nothing deep. Then identify someone else...maybe a stranger, and see if you can get THEM to ask you out. But be subtle about it. Don't worry about failing. If it doesn't work try with someone else. Again, be SUBTLE. You don't want them to know what you are doing. Use the ol' Jedi mind trick! Then let these guys court you for a little while. Let them treat you to some nice nights out, let them buy you gifts, and shower you with attention. Enjoy yourself. Take your time. Be special. Then after a while, you'll find the right guy. Either it will be one of these first few (hey maybe even Dennis) or you'll catch the eye of someone else. Most guys want a girl who's "in demand". Just be open with them. Let them know you are dating other men as well. The will appreciate the honesty. Let them compete for your affections. If any of them have a problem with that...well then, he wasn't right for you anyway.
I feel like dear Abby! LOL!
