Having had time to reflect, I'm thinking that Monster Truck Date thing sounds like it could be a real hoot.

If I ever get this bizarre urge to date, I'll be sure and add front row seats at the monster truck rallies as a definite part of the date.

It's not like that would be the only thing we did on the date. I mean, I do know enough about dating to know to buy dinner first. Big Mac, large fries and a Diet Coke, of course.

Then the Monster Truck Rally.

Be sure and get seats near the Beer-Garden or bring a huge cooler with Cans. As a sign of trust let her know that you trust her enough so she can drive you home. ;)

Caramel sundae, eh? And all this time I thought the path to a woman's heart was the Happy Meal toy.

I guess it depends on the toy! But, caramel might be the way to go.

(for the record, there was no dinner that night. :/ Strait from my house to the colliseum where the event was, then he returned my muddy, beer smelling, hard of hearing self back to my house. So you are already ahead of the curve, even if it is just Micky D's) LOL

That's what I've heard. The path to a man's heart is through his stomach and the path to a woman's heart is through the shoe store.

Apparently my love language is Quality time and Physical touch.

My way of showing people I love whether it be my parents, my best friend or friends is by being a good listener. I have always been quiet and attentive and I usually don't let anything distract me when I am talking to someone. It usually makes them feel special. I also like giving understated compliments. If I have been on a date with someone, I'll usually text them the next day and tell them what a good time I had. I love writing little notes too. I still put small notes in my best friend's purse thanking her for something she did for me or letting her know that I love her. I am terrible at speaking what I feel so written words work for me. I am also very physical, so people get random hugs from me all the time.

If I want to convey my feelings to a new person, I usually give little compliments. Saying "I don't know you very well but, I would like to get to know you more" just seems creepy to me. It might not be creepy. May be it's just my age. I would rather say "You seem like a very interesting person" and I am pretty sure that she will get the hint that you are interested in her.

It could be someone you don't know, someone you know but don't really talk to, someone who probably has a handful of preconceived notions about You, perhaps its an internet personality, either way, how do you get their attention?

How do you let someone know that to YOU they are unique in their effect upon you?


I live in pretty cozy Christian culture where everyone is a winner and everything is sacred and everyone is special; therefore nothing is sacred and no one is special. I always struggle HERE in my HOMETOWN to get people to realize just what they mean to me. Everywhere else I've been in the world, I never seem to have this problem.

Is saying something like, "I don't know you very well but, I would like to get to know you more." inappropriate or just filler conversation?

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You Ladies (no offense) can be so frustrating. :)
We are incredibly frustrating :) You guys are fairly frustrating yourselves lol.

When I find someone very special, I make it a point to let them know consistently how and why I feel the way I do. Sometimes it's through compliments, or a small home-made gift. It varies and depends on the person, really. It's just incredibly important to me that the people that matter to me know they matter.

And telling someone you'd like to get to know them better isn't inappropriate at all.

The Peasant Princess is a sermon series by Mark Driscoll from Mars Hill Church in Seattle Washington (if you want to google it and listen to them) They are also available as podcasts too.
There are 10 in all and they are based off the Song of Solomon. (It is truly a series that not only married people or couples can get something out of, but those who are single as well. It is very good. Hope you enjoy it.)

Honestly I do not find women frustrating... As soon as i realized i wouldn't figure them out it was no longer frustrating but this is what I do:

Leave notes that you know they will find if you hang out at their house leave a note as you walk out of the door.
Text them just to let them know that your thinking about them and that the thought of them makes you smile.
Ask their opinion directly in group conversations so they know you care what they think.
When they are talking to you when you answer them repeat some of what they said so they know you were really listening.
Remember things they have told you and try to do something special is a special day for them comes up.

BUT REMEMBER: It must ALL be how you feel... ALL OF IT. If you are faking it shows.

Personally the best way for anyone to show me that they care is to take the time to really listen and engage in conversation. To listen to my dreams and share their dreams with me and allow us to work together and move towards those dreams and God. To not be afraid to be themselves and for me not to have to feel like I have to hide who I am because I know they love me unconditionally and will forgive me my mistakes and unintentional hurts that I may deal them. that they will be brave enough to tell me that I hurt them and help me learn not to do so. that they will listen or notice when they hurt me and work towards healing and forgiveness. That is what I think true love is and that is what everyone should do to make those they love feel special.
Yes exactly.

And always be honest even if it hurts. A polite lie is much more painful than the painful truth. The song, "tell me lies tell me sweet little lies", makes me cringe.
