I'll over generalize here and tell you that black women(or at least the type the date white men) are waaaaay better at hiding the crazy from you. They are devious with that shit.

Julian take all of your training to heart on this one. After one date you do not love her, and you aren't going hiking.

Terrible advice Noodle. Julian, make sure you "accidentally" text the crazy nurse with the location you'll be at "So we're meeting at Hula Hanks at 6:30 right? Can't wait to meet you!". Then follow it up with a "Sorry, wrong person".

Julian, if you do this, my respect for you will increase by several points.

Black girls are different. Not a bad kind of different, not a good kind of different. Just different.

I'd be more concerned with the 21 years old than any of the other stuff.

If she does NOT taste like coco puffs keep it to yourself. Do not ruin the dream.

What did you guys do on your 1 year marriage anniversaries?
Dinner somewhere. Made her a cake for desert. We'd be living together 6 years at that point, dating for 11+, so the pomp was all gone. Now, we have a kid and she suggested going to a place with "express" in the name. I'm slowly breaking her down. Do something special for her because you want to, not because our society expects you to.


Sorry, that was a bit ranty.

Deathwing, I do want to do something nice. Just wondering what others did. We've been living together for 6 years too, so I'm not a super romantic dude anymore.

Paper anniversary means I bought tickets for the two of us to go to a show she wanted to see.
I probably won't follow the old school style, I didn't know people still did that!

What did you guys do on your 1 year marriage anniversaries?
My wife and I never had an official honeymoon. With that in mind, we spent our 1 year anniversary in Japan. It was my first time seeing the country, so we went for 3 weeks and got to see a lot of neat shit. I can't wait for my next trip the beginning of September.

Wife's birthday today. Putting thought and effort into birthday and Christmas presents is probably my favorite thing to do in life. I love seeing her surprised face, often time followed by happy tears.

I gotta say, I get a real kick out of that myself.

But at the same time, I'm really fucking miserable to buy gifts for. I tend to buy everything I want. For christmas/birthdays, I'll stop buying things and just tell other people instead. As a result, I can (usually) guess 95% of my gifts. I'd like to think it's creative, but if you tell someone to buy you a DVD and something comes in that shape... well, chances are...

I feel for her in that regard. She has trouble doing a real surprise gift for me, yet I go out of my way to do it EVERY year for her. *shrugs* Maybe she could do it and I'm just being hard on myself. Who knows. Anyway, I still enjoy it.

Question for tenks and anyone else who did some heavy online dating: what did you actually do on dates? Did you have a standard first date? I've only gone out with 2 chicks this year - first we met for coffee near a park and walked around the park. It was supremely boring but then again I didn't click with the girl. It was too boring so for the other girl (nurse) I felt like a certain kind of food so I treated to that. Too expensive for a grad student stipend.

It's essential I keep my cost down because I take home $15k a year, but I also often accept the male role of paying first date because I'm the one who asked usually. By 2nd or 3rd date it's not a concern for me but the first one I think it's kinda tacky to be like "oh, you're paying for yourself." So, can anyone relay their experiences with keeping costs down, what worked and what didn't?
Late response but my plan is for the first date meet somewhere cheap for drinks during happy hour time. I usually go to a bar I never go too so it doesn't run the risk of seeing her again if it fails. I'll never buy them a drink, it's online dating so the first date shouldn't even be a date, just a meeting to make sure they aren't fat and you have at least a mild amount of chemistry. Then if you want from there, you can go on real dates.

I've also just grabbed a six pack of beer and just drank in the park for first meetings. I'm usually out no more than ten bucks by the end.

Dudes who are paying for first online dates are suckers, the girls obviously just as if not more desperate than you are since she's on there too.
