    I've got a friend who refuses to discuss religion or politics or any controversial topic when dating. It is too likely to bring up arguments or confrontation during a date.

    I think that these are great topics to discuss. Not only can it bring up some lively conversations, but wouldn't you want to know that the otherwise perfect guy opposes your ideals early on in a relationship? At the best, you can agree to disagree, but if you can't see yourself with ANY guy who thinks the only thing wrong with the Bush-Chenney administration is that they can't run for a 3rd term, then I say bring it on!

    So are any topics off limits for you when dating?

      if those "off topics" are makers or breakers then you should bring them up before the date. If you are willing to listen to the other point of view and so is your date then go for it.

      I personally don't like to talk about past relationships.

        Oh, the past relationships topics is a good one. While it would be good to know why their last relationship failed, no one ever says, "Oh, it's because I was a jerk and cheated on her." Everyone spins their own version of reality and never thinks they are to blame so they never give an honest answer anyway.

      I talk about everything on a first date. That's probably why I can't get a boyfriend (hehe).
      I figure the man has to love me or even like me for all that I am and all that I'm not.
      I could pretend to be someone sweet and nice, but I am a kind bitch and am committed to honesty. My honesty or strait-talk opens up great conversation.
      Maybe I shouldn't mislead you folks, cause I do have a few fellas I hang out with on occasion, frequently.

      Not pathetic Jas. And don't beat yourself up over these feelings. Just because you've been cheated on doesn't mean you have fully processed your emotional attachment to your ex. That takes time, and a clean break doesn't give you closure either. Unless you are a total hard-ass, these feelings will be raw for a while.

      As for getting back together, I would advise against it.

      Take it from Dr. John: "...The best way to get over an ex is to get under a new flame ASAP...."

        Jas,
        I do not trust that monogamy always works for everyone. Why can't two people love one another wholly and completely and be in a polyamorous relationship?
        Humans are merely animals created to love more than one person. I do not get why we can't love freely. It doesn't make sense.

        That was sort of a vauge response. Wasn't it? What I meant to say, except that I was too drunk to write it appropriately, is that everyone longs for some sort of companionship. People are in high demand.

        Friends are great to have. Even I do not have many friends, male or female. I am very selective in who I wanna call a bud. In fact, earlier this year, I broke up a friendship between another gal and I. I have no regrets about that choice.

        I just read through my post and do not see it pertaining much to your topic, Ms. Wow. I am sorry. Sometimes I'll use a soapbox to just babble.

        If not already I'd like to be your friend on here, Ms. Wow. If you accept my friend request you will have made your circle of friends bigger. I'm a good woman. You will enjoy my friendship.

              Christmas list or not, having friends requires time and energy. If you have neither one of those due to your job or occupation, chances are you WON'T have that many friends.

    Hey…question,

    A few months ago this guy was head over me but I was not giving him the time or day because I was dating someone at the time. But now that I am single and had some time to myself to think about what I want in a relationship, I now want to be with him. But now he has a girlfriend. Do I tell him how I feel? Or just let us stay friends. Even though I am currently dating someone, I think about this other guy all the time and I enjoy spending every second with him. What do I do??? I would not like to lose him as a friend.

      If you can tell him that you'd be interested if only he were available, in a way that *doesn't* make him feel pressured or make it seem like you need him to do something about it now, then tell him. Maybe if he becomes available and he's interested, he'll let you know at that time, because knowing that you're interested already makes it easier. But you have to really be satisfied with just letting him know, and not expecting him to do anything about it now, because if you're not satisfied with that I think it would show somehow and he'd feel uncomfortable.

    I am high on java and Adderal (haha got hooked up with it through a friend). So, I am going to start a topic..hooray!!!
    Last night, I slept with my best friend, Tony. I love him and whenever we have sex it is extraordinary! He's a good man, but I just cannot see a relationship sprouting with him.
    First of all he has an open marriage with another gal. On top of that he's not at all wealthy. Then, as superficial as this may sound, he's got a big belly and a small dick.
    Other than the things listed above, he would be perfect for me. Of course, I would not break up his marriage, but I could see myself as his concubine, permanently.
    What do you folks think I should do? Is there anything I can do or should I just keep things the way they are?
