Dating is like the Air Force, you have to Aim High LSFool: 1) Dating is like the Air Force, you have to Aim High.
2) You can't take a first date any more seriously than a job interview, because if it's a bad fit, you have to walk away like you're walking away from the gateway to hell.
3) In the early stages of dating, you must not invest everything in just one man. Diversifying your portfolio is essential if you are going to get a return on your time and emotion invested.
4) Always date three men at once while you are in the initial casting stage of narrowing down your candidates. This is the stage where you date all of them and sleep with none of them. This way you are never waiting around for any one of them to call, because you are too busy going out on another date with one of the other three. This way all of them become facinated with you and with your apparent lack of interest.
5) Having a really cool dog almost always scores points with a man. When he eventually gets sick of you, he will still stick around, if for no other reason but that he would miss the dog too much if he left.
Re:Dating is like the Air Force, you have to Aim High jason_stl: The thing about the dog is rather funny.
... and isn't this more of how guys traditionally date women?
Re:Dating is like the Air Force, you have to Aim High amess: Maintaining some mystery in the beginning and having your own life is always attractive. You don't have to do it intentionally if you really do have your own life, which you do Medusa. Anyone who is almost always available, in the dating stage, becomes boring.
Re:Dating is like the Air Force, you have to Aim High jason_stl: Amen, amess. Amen.

That would explain why my ex always asks me about the dog whenever I talk to him!
Of course, Big D (Dante, my GSD) was the child we never had.
In the final stages of the divorce when the ex was trying to make light of the check he was writing me, he'd grumble and say, "I can't believe you took the d@mn dog!! Sure, I know, he was YOUR dog, but I bought him for you!" To this day he gets ticked if I point out that technically he didn't buy the dog- he gave me the money, and *I* drove 350 miles and bought him! LOL. Besides..... I paid for 90% of his food, vet, toys and training classes!
We had an interesting discussion about the dog the other day, in fact. I asked if he would still take him if I took a year position with a different trainer next year. He responded, "Absolutely..... You know, the OW is going to HATE him." What I *should* have said was, "Too bad. The dog is more important to you than she is anyway." LOL. Instead I took the high road and shrugged it off.
Okay, I think it is safe to say from all this endless chatter that the dog comment struck a nerve. But since I'm the one sitting here with the dog chomping on a chew toy behind me, I suppose the wrangling over the dog is a moot point!
