I second that rule!

Don't try to hold her hand on the first date. You're just getting to know each other, so keep your hands to yourself.
no hand holding on the first date? ive never heard of that in my life hahahahaha

I second the notion that a thread needs to be started on this. I'll bring popcorn and a blast shield.

I imagine it varies by people, some claim hand holding is inappropriate contact. Me, I'm a "get the heck over here I'm going to hug you for a prolonged period of time" kind of guy. My hands aren't moving or anything, I'm just hugging. Those stupid drink holders and uncomfortable seats at the movie theater kind of ruin it though, and you can't do that while driving down the road.

Come to think of it, the engineers who designed my car were trolling pretty hard. There's a massive center console that even I can't climb over comfortably if I drop something on the other side of the car.

But I'm sure there's someone who's going to chime in and say that hugging is wrong, or that hugging for more than 30 seconds is wrong, or something along those lines. So in their mind I'm an inappropriate (appropriate) groper.
Prolonged huggers unite! (Appropriately of course!) :cool: People need physical affection and comfort. ALL people, even SINGLE people.

Yeah. Especially single people.

The seats in our theatre have arm rests that fold up so you can sit together with someone. I have never had occasion to try that out, but your comment made me think of it.

My unwritten dating rule (Which will now actually be my written dating rule) is "If the girl drives a slower car than I do, then no date shall be had"


So far my rule has been wildly successful and I haven't had to ask anyone out on a date. Best idea of my life. Come to think of it, I should probably invest in a faster car just in case. ;)

What if her rule is, "four wheels slow, two wheels fast?"

HARLEY, HARLEY, HARLEY. Ooh, look, pretty chopper.

Personally, I'm wanting a three wheeler: Spyder.

I drive a fairly "space efficient" car. Nearly anytime there is someone seated next to me, I cannot avoid getting my hand in contact with their knee or thigh when I shift to fifth. I guess it is a Very flirty car. :-/
It's awkward enough when it's one of my male friends riding with me, but Much more awkward when it's my mom.

Forever Alone Car?


I consider this another good argument for that motorcycle I keep shopping for/dreaming of: Skip the "Flirting in Fifth" situation by just telling them when arranging the first date to wear nice jeans, no skirt or dress and not to fuss overly much with their hair, then show up and surprise them by handing them a helmet. Either they'll not be up for it at all, or there may not be much need for plans beyond riding somewhere, having a bite to eat & some walk around/talk time, then take the long road home.

In the front running is for me is the Shadow Phantom or Aero. The low seat height is good for my less than NBA height.
I'm not fully set on the Shadow line... I also like the Vulcan Vaqueros and Vulcan Nomad, among others.

From what I hear, buying an "Asian" bike will mean that I'll spend more time appreciating the work of the road department and less time in the company of the friendly service department.

Frankly, while some of these unwritten dating rules make sense, others seem rather silly and arbitrary. How on earth are you meant to conduct a healthy, godly relationship when you feel like you're always walking on egg-shells? Seems like a load of bollocks to me.

Dating rules are ludicrous. We met 12 years ago, married the the year thereafter and we didnt go by any of them rules in this thread;). I don't think there are any rules, it is all about the persons involved.

Unwritten dating rule #71:
Just because you started dating someone, it doesn't mean that your friends have ceased to exist. They are still alive and breathing.

I thought I must post a meme of the phrase Tintin used. So I went to Google Images and typed the phrase. BIG MISTAKE. I am scarred by what I saw. Believe me, brothers and sisters, you don't want to see them! :eek:

Yeah, sorry about that. In Australia it just means a load of nonsense/rubbish/hooplah/crap etc.

LOL!!! What if he only picks his nose and wipes his boogers on something without eating them?

Er... Roh_Chris, what Tintin said means what Tintin said it means here in the USA as well. It's not a phrase commonly used anymore, as cussing is now mainstream even here in the backwoods of West TN... but a load of bollocks means the same thing as hogwash, balderdash, stuff-and-nonsense, poppycock, rubbish, etc. Basically if you say something is a load of bollocks you are saying it's just plain wrong.

"They" say a lot of stuff that isn't true. But even if true, I doubt mountain oysters would have the same effect.
