[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I need no date-ma! I just dice-enable. (Trust me. I do. I'm the little devil on their shoulder saying "SHINY!")

I mean, not that I wouldn't mind going on a date, and I've suggested it to the spouse, but we'd have to get a babysitter. (I've been married almost a decade, and with the same person for 13 years at this point. I don't even remember what dating was like. I think it involved lots of wild sex and occasional heartache. But that could be me confusing TV with reality again.)

Wow. Did I ever miss a spirited, educational and LENGTHY discussion.

I must admit, after reading Gud's COMM-ent on a lack of ass hooks vis-a-vis why meetings are so boring, before having read the discussion here, I was envisioning a boardroom version of the hook they used to yank bombing perfomers off stage back in vaudeville. Was I EVER wrong!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was Ms Serial Monogamist. So I'd fall into bed/dating a person, except for that weird period of almost a year where I sort of skipped the dating part or, rather, I went on dates, but all the people I slept with were people I wasn't dating, and I swear it made sense at the time.

Okay, I guess I was dating the married woman I slept with, but that was just weird. (Her husband wanted some sort of group marriage thing. I was just in it for the hot chick. I determined I'd rather date non-married, uncoupled people for a while and get back to them. During this period of time, she decided she would leave her husband. I am told he felt it ws My Fault. Whatevs.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, that's been my experience of the thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. Plus lots of anxiety and confusion.

Huh. I pretty much stopped dating after my last relationship ended. That was before the invasion of Iraq, because I remember arguing with her that it would be a bad idea....

I was serial fuck-buddy girl. The guys always made it clear they were in it for the fun, but I always, every single time, fell hard only to be heartbroken down the line. Joe was (and still is) my longest relationship and first guy I lived with that wasn't platonic.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I was pretty free with the sex back in the day and usually regretted it after. One of the main things I'd love for teen girls to know is that just because you had sex with someone/multiple someones, doesn't mean you have to have it with all the rest of the people you date. You can stop any time you want. I feel like I didn't quite realize that until later. Like, "What does it matter? I've already had sex with x number of people." But you know, it did matter to me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Heh. My dating experience is a bit of an outlier. There are a grand total of three women with whom I ever even went on a second date, and I married two of them. (Not at the same time.) I think I dated the other woman just to prove it wasn't just some sort of compulsive behaviour.
