It sounds like fun to me. :shrug:

I am so very blessed
It worked for me. :shrug:Um, that is not a good idea.
How else do you think I ended up with Bob?

And all this time I thought it was because of your red panties with BADGIRL written across the butt that snagged him.

Actually, if you must know, when I met Bob, he was wearing the red underwear with "BadGirl" written on them.
I didn't make up my username. It was pre-determined for me, in a way.
Perhaps I've said too much this evening.

I do not have sentimental ties to this wine.It just seemed tacky.
Oh, for ####s sake.
Who are you and why are you using Varia's account?
Oh, the stories I could tell if I were a story telling type. Ring any bells?
If your new beau is 23 or something, he might be insecure that you actually had some other man over who brought you a gift. If so, you also might not want to mention you're not a virgin. That'll really set him to spinnin' plus he'll feel that much worse about the Boone's Farm he brung yah.
On the other hand, if you're not in cougar mode, any kind of solid guy would be flattered that he'd be the one there, with you, drinking the gift vino of an unworthy. May as well tell him now you're a practical cheapo that isn't sentimental about much of anything so as to not waste much time or effort with some sappy guy who is just going to annoy you before long. Unless, of course, he can dance. Or has some other practical use or skill.
Of course, if you're into some self help book that suggests trying to pretend to be sentimental about silly items just to see what it feels like, personal growth, ya da ya da, by all means...
This is actually a hoot.

If you are referring to the fact that you and I had recycled wedding rings from when I was previously engaged to another man, no, please do not tell that story.
Why are some of you saying "sentimental" with regard to this wine? This is not a case of me going, oh, Moondoggie brought me this wine and I shall cherish it always.
The wine was given to me by a man with the intent of romantic endeavor, which did not come to fruition. My question was with regard to the propriety of using that wine for romantic purposes with a different guy. I understand that it's just wine and not sexy underpants or anything, but the question is valid. It's not about how he will feel about the wine's origin - he will never know that. It's about my sense of guilt in blowing off this guy, yet keeping his wine in order to entice another guy.Anyway, two things:
As of last night the situation has resolved itself, as situations are wont to do, many times without my assistance, and all is more than well.
#2, this is called "dating". Casual, for fun, getting to know someone. It's not "serious" and it's definitely not "commitment". No offense, but some of you - not naming any names here - don't seem to understand the concept of that sort of thing. However, I am assured by single friends that it does indeed happen all the time and is considered an ideal way to assess the suitability of a potential romantic interest without marrying them, moving them in, or even further obligation beyond chewing with your mouth closed at dinner.
Oh, wait! There's a third thing:
Until I started becoming interested in dating again, I didn't realize how much things have changed over the last 15 years or so. It used to be the norm for a guy to meet a woman he finds attractive, and say, "Would you like to (insert activity here) with me next Friday?" Or even just, "Can I call you?" Then it was up to the woman to consent or be nice about letting him down. It was a "no harm, no foul" type of thing because everyone had been doing it for years and was used to it.
This thread and the other one have really made me wonder what the hell is going on out there and also appreciate the uniqueness of the guys who *have* stepped up and done it the right way instead of being some dumbass who only knows how to "hook up".
It's just shocking and dismaying how our society has crumbled in this regard, and I probably blame Bush for that. Oh, and Match.com - I blame them the most.
