Thread: Burlesque and Dating!

You know the way nuns are 'married to Jesus'? Well don't Christians believe that a marriage isn't "real" or "complete" until it's consummated? So how does that work?

lol yes - a man who didn't see a happy meal as a romantic date.

I applaud Broomys advice :twothumbs: The more stuff you do, the possibles you meet Also occasionally friends fixing you up can work (at least if the friend knows you well enough and they are just helping you meet guys without trying to find you your perfect man) I fixed up two friends who are now planning their wedding

You didn't say it was a happy meal - what's more romantic than a plastic toy

Now why am I single again

Never discount the family either - I found my brother his wife. He's still entirely failed to do the same for me though

lol I appriciate a plastic toy as much as the next girl. Just not when you've dressed for something a bit more along the lines of a small resturant...

Errrmmm, so dressing down, as your 'vanilla' friends helpfully suggest is the way forward? And are they all fighting off the boys, I suspect not! And they are all dating? I suspect not either!

It's funny isn't it that in the wild leopard print camouflages the rare species, and humans who wear the print stand out!

Hmmm, maybe it's not you, but your surroundings that are all wrong...

Now, what was it that Mae West said? Something about there being so many men, so little time....

There's no way are you destined to be single for long!

How come you and your boy split up...??? I might be reading all wrong, but I thought you were smitten with each other...

I hate to be pessimisitic but erm... aren't you single now?

Still no joy? Get yourself on the stands at your football club.
Learn to shout:
'Oi! Ref, you should go to Specsavers!"
Got the idea?

That made me giggle, brilliant suggestions though!

I'm with Pixie on this! Having been single for just over ten years (admittedly through choice for a large part of it) I have found it incredibly hard to find someone special. I have tried being pro-active and I have tried "not looking" but neither have worked. I have tried internet dating and been on several dates (including two with a 35 year old virgin!). I have even been to singles nights; the last one was so demoralising: there were men and women there of all ages but every single one of the men attempted to chat up at least one of a group of girls, where not one was over 22 or a size 10. Bitter? Me? Of course I am!!!

However, I do agree that you should be you. Don't compromise who you are because who you are is special. Also, if you change, you will always be living a lie.
Good Luck!!!

Technically yes - but I have high hopes that a relationship with this lovely young lady is in the cards *crosses fingers* :cooler:

I'm kind of relieved to hear that many of you are experiencing dating/relationships problems like i am!

I wonder if the problem is that to be in our world is overwhelming and intimidating for men (or women, whichever you prefer). I've become pretty tired of meeting really sweet guys, but when they start finding everything out about me, its like im the Wizard of Oz or something! Yes, i have a crazy, bizzare and unique life, but im still a sweet girl who wants to be held in someones arms!

Whatever happened to unique, outgoing and confident men? Don't they exist?
I hope this doesn't sound conceded, and im curious if other Burly women here feel the same. But do you kind of feel like its hard to meet a man who can keep up with you? And thus cant challenge you.
