Life takes a turn for the weird

Discussion in 'Anything goes' started by JayFarrar, Aug 11, 2008.

  1. I disagree. I'm saying if someone else's convictions bother them so much they won't date that person, they are being shallow or close-minded or xenophobic.
    "Good" was a poor choice of words on my part, but I think Jay is limiting himself.

    You might as well ask Lewis and Clark why they did it.

    She's waited 34 years to get some ass.

    She can wait a couple days while Jay gets his head around the bombshell she just dropped.

    That said, in general, I agree. If you enjoy sex even a little bit, this isn't the girl for you.

    Hit the road.

    He thinks she thinks of it as a 'husband tryout.' About the only dates that aren't tryouts for the future are one-offs.

    Is it about dating and getting to know someone? Or is it about getting laid?

    It's not the convictions, its how they will affect you and your life. My co-worker wants to be a virgin? Fine, more power to him! The guy I'm dating wants to be a virgin? That directly affects me. Then I get to have a say in whether or not I'm OK with that, and make choices accordingly.

    Isn't it usually about both?

    It might be a little weird, but there's a reason you've gone out five times. If this is your only hang up so far, I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Hell, she's got to be wondering if waiting 34 years is worth it, and you might have a wild one nearing her sexual peak.
     
  10. I agree with that.
    But you just might miss out on your soul mate (or best potential spouse or whatever) if you're not willing to at least consider someone whose choices/convictions/etc. are different from yours.

    Jay, what if she hadn't dropped that bombshell on you? What if when y'all began getting hot-and-heavy she begged off by just saying she wasn't ready yet, would you go out with her again?

    Obviously not for everyone.
