happythoughts 0 #1 October 28, 2002 This has got to be the ultimate, all-inclusive post. With all the questions as to what makes a perfect date/mate/SO/future ex, we need to come up with a series of questions that will help identify that person. Therefore, we can do it in a fashion similar to The Dating Game. Contribute a question that you would ask your prospective date. The Dating Game was the perfect game show. It was the only show where you could actually win another contestant. Of course, sometimes "winning" was stretching the definition. Rules: 1-Questions such as "how much do you make" will be responded to with the default answer of "$20, same as downtown, ho". 2-Sheep will not answer questions.

Jessica 0 #13 October 28, 2002 Quote2) How is someone like you single? I completely hate this question. Its smarmy pickup-line feeling aside, the assumption seems to be that if you COULD be with someone, you WOULD. Therefore, if you're single -- what's wrong with you? The astute among us have learned that there is no contest between contented singlehood and not-right couplehood.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magistr8 0 #14 October 28, 2002 it's actually a flattering question. Like how is someone so great single, and see how they react. It's not like I'm asking them, why won't anyone go out with you?

It's not like I'm asking them, why won't anyone go out with you? I'll go with her definition. I'm wondering why no one wants to go out with that person.

Magistr8 0 #17 October 28, 2002 I'm wondering why everyone interprets this question as an attack? It is entirely possible that some people choose to stay single, I for one have gone out with a girl who chose to stay single for a while and I could never figureout why. I don't mean anything by it when I say that some people need to be less defensive. "Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools."

wmw999 2,447 #18 October 28, 2002 Can you stand companionable silence without having to fill it with talk? Can you listen to a whole thought without interrupting? Wendy W. (not that I'm bitter or anything)There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Skitzo 0 #19 October 28, 2002 That is a tricky question. I can see both sides of the coin with it. While you intend for it to flatter, the flatteree could be sitting there thinking,...Hmmm...he or she is trying to figure out whats wrong with me, How do I answer this one?. Then is could get weird. - "How do you keep your feet on the ground when you know you were born to fly?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #23 October 28, 2002 QuoteI'm wondering why everyone interprets this question as an attack? Didn't mean to infer that I thought you were being antagonistic.I was saying that when I ask the question, I am. A little introspection is good for the soul. If people are in "I am looking for someone perfect" mode, it's a great question. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
