Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

You Don't Want Kids?
Ok, here we go again with people wanting to know why it is that I don't like certain things. I don't like kids, some people think I'm awful for saying that but it's true, so sue me! I don't like your kids, I don't like their kids, I don't want my own kids and at least I'm honest about it. Would you really want to get into a relationship with someone assuming that they want children then finding out years down the road that it's not an option? I would like to know also why it is that people just assume that everyone loves kids?
I was at a wedding on Saturday & I was out on the dance floor by myself having a good time until I bumped into someone & it was a mom holding her little girl (2 or 3) and she was really cute but just because she's cute doesn't mean I want anything to do with her. So the little girl (who I don't know) starts reaching for me so I move to the other side of the floor & mom takes girl & goes & sits down. So here I am happy as a clam on the dance floor & I feel something touching my leg & I look & it's this little girl standing there with her arms up like she wanted me to pick her up. I stared at her for a minute, tapped her on the head & went back to my table. I was on the dance floor later on & it happened again so again I went back to my table. After that I decided to just dance at my table which I shouldn't have had to do because the mother should have known that if I didn't respond to the kid twice I probably wasn't going to. First of all she shouldn't have just let her tiny little girl out on to the granite dance floor by herself with a bunch of drunk people to begin with & 2nd of all when the mom said to me "she really likes you" and I just said oh & moved to the other side of the floor she should have known that I really wasn't interested. Of course, my whole family found this hysterical because they know I don't like kids but I was seriously so flustered I wanted to cry, I felt like I was being attacked. My friend Wendy hates birds & she said "that's exactly how I feel when a bird is near me, it's like panic".
I really just wish people would accept & respect the fact that I do not like children. I know plenty of people who don't like all kinds of things but I don't think they are less of a person because they don't like it. I think people have issues with women who don't like kids because they don't think we should miss out on the "miracle of child birth" well, that's not a miracle for me that's freaking insane! I have no clock ticking away inside of me, no desire to have or be around children especially when I haven't known them since birth, and if I were to ever have a kid it would be adopted & likely a little older. I'm selfish & not willing to give up my identity to be someones mother, I give mad props to my friends who are parents, especially the single ones but I don't ever want to be in that position. I want to do what I want, when I want with whomever I want & not have to worry about a sitter or the kids or anything else. People just need to relax & pay attention to themselves instead of giving me shit for my choices & opinions!

Friends Like That
Have you ever had that friend who can't seem to stay out of your business? That friend who always has to be up in your shit even though you aren't up in theirs? Well I have one of those friends & she just did something that has embarrassed me so much I can't stop thinking about it. Well, here's the deal, I met a guy online & we hit it off well not really enough to be a couple but enough to "enjoy each others company" on occasion. So I tell my friend about our first night together & she turns around & requests him as a friend on MySpace...who does that?! She had asked me in the past if she could request him & I told her no yet she did it anyway! She claims she did it so that she could check out his pictures but I know she did it to attempt to make some sort of contact/bond with him. She just can't seem to allow other people to have any satisfaction that doesn't involve her especially when it comes to men. It never really occurred to me before but none of our friends wives like her & since I never really cared too much for many of our friends wives I just thought they were all bitches. I can now see how she is regarding our friends husbands as well...she's very negative & it's like if it's not for or about her she just can't stand it. I'm all about my friends & my boyfriends getting along but if she ever got all flirty with my man like she has with our friends in front of their wives I would definitely have something to say about it! Being my super close friend it really makes me beyond embarrassed that she would do this to me, I'm now mortified & look like some crazy bitch to him because of her behavior & I'm so sick of making excused for others. I'm single dammit & what I do & who I do it with has nothing to do with anyone other than us & though I may share my stories with people I assume I can trust it really bothers me that they feel that it is ok to involve themselves personally in the matter. It's uncool & unfair & I'm very unhappy!!

Why Aren't You Married?
You know, I am getting so sick of people always asking me why I'm not married yet. Most of the people who ask me this question are divorced or on a 2nd or 3rd marriage & every time I want to respond with "so I don't end up like you". I'm picky, I'm not willing to settle or I would have gotten married years ago & been divorced by now myself. After my grandma passed I thought the question would stop but noooo, even my co-workers are asking "why are you single, how come you aren't married" like marriage is the best thing in the world. Yes, I would like to get married but for the right reasons, not just to have a wedding. Although, if I don't meet someone decent soon I'm gonna marry myself because I'm sick of buying friends & family presents & giving them money when I'm not getting anything in return. For instance, my cousin is having her 2nd wedding in a couple weeks so I have to give her another gift & the last gift she gave me was in 1995 when I graduated from high school & more than likely her name was just on her parents card!!

You Are A Douche Bag!
Men all suck. I just don’t get it, I get men, I don’t get why they are such pussies though. Here is a bit of dating etiquette for ya. If you are seeing someone & then decide to go exclusive with someone else or just decide that you are no longer interested it is just common courtesy to inform the person you are no longer into of the fact. Don’t hide out & be a big effing douche bag & wait for them to “get the hint” because that is so rude. In the world of technology how hard is it to send an email, text, leave a myspace message? Even a “hey, I didn’t pick you” is better than nothing at all. I just find it interesting that even on dating sites I usually respond to a message & tell someone that I’m not interested because if I don’t that just makes me a huge bitch but then I actually decide to start seeing someone & then suddenly they just stop contacting me & returning phone calls. I’m sorry but I think that is the pussy way out & when you treat someone that way it will come back to bite you in the ass. Just imagine it, one night you are all lonely & looking for some ass & then you run into this girl that you used to date but blew off…guess who isn’t gonna bang you that night? That’s right, her, her friends, very possibly every woman in the bar because women love revenge. If you piss a woman off enough she will plaster your neighborhood bars with flyers telling every woman to not date you and they will probably give a very humiliating & untrue reason why, something like the attached photo in the corner. Sure it may be uncomfortable to tell someone that you don’t want to date them anymore but guess what, they will get over it so why not just tell them? If you do tell them and then end up running into them that one lonely night, they might actually put out because you at least had the balls to tell the truth. So, C, I think you are a major douche bag & I will be sure to tell every woman I know that you are. Be sure to keep your eyes open for the flyer featuring your face & informing everyone of your “issue” at all of your local pubs. Cheers brother!
Dating Tip #43
Don’t take a new potential mate out to a party with your friends on a first date, and don’t accompany them to one either, it’s way too much to handle trying to get to know them when there are other people around that already know one of you.

Dating Tip #41
I don’t recommend adding your new “friend” as a friend on MySpace, Facebook, or any other site of the type until you know them a little better, I mean, do you really want this new prospect to see you hammered passed out on the floor at some party? No, you don’t, not until they know you are a responsible person first.

Ladies, just because it is the “job” of the man to pay while courting you it doesn’t mean that he always has to pay for the duration of your relationship, sooner or later you will probably have to start chipping in once & a while, men don’t owe you anything.

A First For Me!
So I have this attractive guy at work & we've never really had any non-work conversations until this week. He has approached me twice with general conversations & today the convo was cut short due to a work task I was late for. This convo was the "what you up to" convo which never happens! He informed me that his son is out of town so he's up to nothing & I had to go so I told him I was doing about the same and that was that. Well, I decided that I wanted to know what was up so I did the unthinkable for me, I sent him an email (he left the office when I wasn't looking) and said "I don't know what time you are working till, you may have even already left, but if you want to grab happy hour let me know". This was about 20 minutes ago & I haven't heard anything but my theory is that if he is already home he's not coming back toward the office but I do feel extremely proud of myself for even sending it!! At least now the thought is in his head....right? God I hope this doesn't blow up in my face!

Dating Tip #37
Ladies, don’t expect the world from anyone. Sure, it would be super nice to meet a great guy with a great personality who is hot & really wealthy but the chances of that actually happening are pretty damn slim so writing a guy off because he didn’t want to give you a thousand dollars to help with your bills is pretty crappy, and so is the fact that you asked.

Dating Tip #36
If someone asks you out & you think that hey they don’t seem half bad, go…at the very least you will get a free meal or some free drinks. Whenever my friends ask “do you think I should go with him” I always say “hey, a girls’ gotta eat” and you never know, he may end up being exactly what you needed/wanted all along.

Why Now?
Last night I was driving home from picking up my car at the mechanic & having dinner with Doug when I got a phone call from an out of state number, so I didn’t answer it. Previously in the day I got a few calls from an out of state number & they were trying to fax my cell phone so I assumed this was the same thing. I started wondering if some company had a misprint on their website & now all these people would be faxing me but I quickly discovered that I was wrong. The mystery caller left a message & I listened to it & it was some noise & then a hang up so I figured it was a wrong number. The caller calls again & I again ignore the call because I assume that they dialed the wrong number again but again, they leave a message. I get stopped at a red light & decide to check the message…big mistake!
I suddenly hear the voice of bad relationship past and honestly come very close to vomiting, right in my car. My heart dove into my stomach like it was trying to hide and I actually started breathing erratically & for fear of hyperventilating I talked myself down. I went ahead & listened to the whole message which went something like “hey, how’s it going, I hadn’t talked to you in a while so I thought I’d see how you had been and what’s new and all, call me when you can either at this number or mine” the second the message was over I deleted it. This ex is the only ex I have who makes me feel this way, I have not spoken to him in a year and a half & have not seen him in 2 years, actually, almost exactly 2 years and I guess I kind of hoped I’d never hear from or see him ever again. Now, I’m on excellent terms with all of my living exes except for 2 & 1 has little to do with our relationship he’s just a really bad friend & I don’t have room for that. This guy though, made my life a living hell for so long, he treated me like crap, he made me feel bad about myself, he used me, and so on but obviously there were things that were good enough for me to stay until one day I just woke up. Suddenly, I realized that none of it was his fault it was all mine, my fault for allowing the behavior to continue so I ended it, for real ended it & that was that. I wasn’t as upset as I thought I would be about the split either, I actually felt much lighter & free & I loved it! Not long after that my life totally started turning around, I got a great job & started dating someone else which was good for a short time, then we opted for friendship instead. About 6 months after the split I hardly even thought of that bastard, I deleted him from my cell phone & my email address book, as far as any stranger would be concerned I don’t even know the douche bag & then poof, here he comes to ruin my day yet again! Do assholes like this have some sort of freaking radar or something? I mean, I’m very happy these days personally & professionally and then bam, here comes this shit! He was probably just chilling at home watching TV & then ding “I think Kel is happy, let’s ruin her night”.
I immediately called Wendy all in a frazzle & she talked me down. I have decided that I am going to call him, tell him I’m happy, wish him the best & leave it at that. I don’t want bad blood but I don’t want him thinking he can just roll back up in my life & treat me the way he did before. I am a different person than I was then but I know how he his & I don’t trust him, I don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth but I know how he works. He’s one of these dudes that is like a chick if you will, batting his eyelashes acting all innocent & sweet & buttering you up to stab you when you aren’t expecting it then makes you think it was all your fault. Well, I’m older & wiser & refuse to fall for some bullshit antics like these. I wasn’t going to call at all but I realize that if I don’t he’s just going to call again in 6 months & make me feel like this all over again so today, I will return that effing call (thanks to another friend who still has his number) & make nice & then move on with my life leaving this situation a closed book that I never want to read again.

Dating Tip #35
Internet dating is pretty common, there is nothing wrong with meeting people online so long as you choose the proper avenues for doing so. Basically, if you want to meet someone online use a dating site either a free one or one that you pay for, not a chat room, it’s a little safer that way.

Do not discuss how much money you make or how much stuff you have at any point within the first 5 dates. Telling some woman about your sweet car & 2nd home on the water just makes you seem desperate & that you are using your things to lure in potential mates.

Don't Date This Guy!!
I was on a dating site today & happened to stumble upon a profile of someone I dated a decade ago for seriously a second. He seems a little bitter, check out his "about me", enjoy!
So the douche bags that run this website removed 7 of my pictures because in one of them I was wearing a Halloween mask? So the other 6 that were perfect head shots weren't good enough? With that being said lets tell the truth about the "real" purpose of this website...
First, lets talk about the quality of women on here...I break it down to this...Some of the girls are fat(thank God for the headshot rule) The fat girls wouldn't get me to jerk off and throw it at them...and I think I speak for most dudes....so of course they have to crowd this site to get a date, get laid, or (lmao) find a boyfriend...Then there are a lot of single moms...young/old doesn't matter you are divorced, never married with baggage....Not interested...I don't care what you look like....When you are naked I don't want to see your wrecked body, or have to close my eyes cause I was bored and pretend you are Jessica Alba with D tatties....Next just plain ugly...Obviously you still haven't mastered photo shop and if you have...Guess what? You are still ugly...Hence your reason for being here....Then there is the small (like a ****ing grain of sand) group of girls that are goodlooking...Most of them never write you back anyways so what is the point? I realize I am far from a super model, but when I say hi...you can take 30 ****ing seconds to write back....I file them under stuck up ****es...No body would talk to them in real life cause they are ****es so to them hopefully they can kick around some dumbass from this site...Not me....Then the fake profiles...The girl in the bikini or smokin hot chick that has no reason to be on here in the first place...Obviously some dude who is bored, or some fat chick messing with guys to get revenge on them dissing her...Listen honey I didn't force the Oreos down your throat so quit wasting sever space...I dunno what is funnier the fake profile or the dumb **** that responds to it....
Now lets get to the real reason we (meaning men and women are on here) to get laid...Really? A first date were we can go on a walk? Have dinner? Talk? lmao? You are just gonna end up ass over ankles at some dudes place naked so skip the part were we spend money and get to "know you." Ladies do you really think you are gonna find a future husband or boyfriend on here? How naive? So don't put your are tired of games, looking for prince charming, blah blah blah...Cause you are not gonna find it on here....See the problem is no body is ever willing to talk about why they are really here...Men and women alike try a mask it with the hangout, or editing to no hook ups or sex...But really that is all they want...Fatties, single moms, ugly chicks, and even your occasional **** all need to get some sometime...So the birth of this comical website....
Stop before you get your panties in a bunch and decide to write me with a hateful message...I realize I am an ***hole...I don't need some chick with a mooseknuckle and b-i-t-c-h t-i-t-s to message me and tell me that..Feel free to send your opinions I guess..

Dating Tip #33
When going out for drinks it is acceptable to do round purchasing, but not within the first month that you are dating. In that first month the man/courter should pay for all of your drinks when you are going out to the bar/club. Once you are a couple then it’s totally fine for the woman/courtee to pay for her drinks, his drinks, everyone’s drinks if she so chooses.

Ladies, don’t ever pay for the man, unless planned ahead. Like if you guys are out to dinner & he says “I don’t’ have enough cash then you pay for your meal & leave, he can do the dishes to pay for his”. Obviously, if you say to him “I’m taking you out tonight” then yes, you need to pay.

Great Way to Get a Date!!
Not really. So I got a hit from a guy on OkCupid yesterday and he was kind of cute but was in the photo with 2 young girls. So I check out his profile only to find that he is the parent of these girls and my profile says "please don't contact me if you have children" so I'm guessing this poor guy can't read. Anyway, I decided to read his profile anyway...he may be a multi millionaire with a nanny so the children won't be my responsibility ever (as if)...so here is what he had to say about himself, this is the first thing people read on a profile mind you.
Now don't all of you jump on the site & start looking for this guy, all the ladies are gonna be trying to get a piece of him! This certainly explains why it is that he is only looking for "short term dating".

Fellas/the one doing the courting, if your date wants to go to somewhere that you can’t afford you need to let them know in advance that you can’t cover it & if they really want to go then they will probably offer to pay for themselves.

Dating Tip #30
Ladies/the one being courted, don’t offer up cash until you are comfortable doing so, make him court you & earn your fidelity. There have been times on first dates that I’ve felt bad because the bill was so high, but I still did not offer any money, because I know I’m worth it.

Read This Book
Ladies, I read He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt & Liz Tucillo a long time ago & I highly recommend it to every single one of you! Yes, I think this book is the basis for the upcoming movie (starring everyone) but since the book isn't exactly a work of fiction or a story I'm not sure how the two will compare. Anyway, buy the book, read the book, and use it as a guide to men & reality!! Trust me, once you read this you will be able to sleep better at night, rather than laying there wondering why he didn't call or why he didn't want to meet your friends.

Dating Tip #29
This tip is just for straight couples because I’m not really sure how the gay community organizes who pays & what not. When you are courting a woman it is your responsibility to pay for each date until you have decided not to see other people, or she offers up some cash (whichever comes first).

Another First Date
So last night I went out for beers with a cute guy that I met on OkCupid. Apparently he looks like a young Donnie Osmond as the bartender Bridgette was all about him and said she was tempted to call her girlfriends to come up there & take a look at him because they all had their walls lined with posters of him when they were young. While I found this funny he seemed a little uncomfortable & the funny thing is, his profile on the site makes reference to the resemblance so after she was done fawning we got a giggle out of it. We sat & talked & had a few beers for a couple hours and I really enjoyed myself. We have plenty in common and plenty not in common but enough in common that the convo was able to flow for the duration and then a bit in the parking lot. I thought he was really cute, had a nice (and very white) smile, was well dressed, and smelled good which is a huge plus for me (I'm very big on smells). I thought he said that he really liked kids & they were a lot of fun but then he started showing me these scratches he got while playing with one then we talked about cats so I'm thinking maybe he said kittens!! I do think that he does want kids according to his profile but I can't remember & we didn't get that far in our discussion. I enjoyed the fact that he had great body language while I probably seemed kind of standoffish but that's just me. He touched me a lot but not in a creepy way so I read that he was interested by said behavior. He is more outdoors than I am, as I've said before my idea of roughing it is a 2 star hotel, and he's still into going out on weeknights while I just can't hang anymore, but as you are all aware, I like having separate interests as well as common ones so these things didn't bother me too much. I honestly would like to see him again and unlike my last date, after 3 beers I did want to sleep with him which means that he deserves to see me again. Lucky bastard!

Dating Tip #28
Early on in a relationship the other person may invite you over for dinner, which they are cooking, if you don’t really know them all that well yet I would advise asking what they plan to make. I am a very picky eater & I find that asking ahead of time, although awkward, can be much better than showing up & not eating what they made because you don’t like it.

If you are meeting for dinner & they suggest a Mexican restaurant & you don’t like Mexican, politely let them know that you would rather go somewhere else.

Dating Tip #24
If you are going to a movie & they suggest something that you definitely do not want to see let them know, otherwise you are signing up for an evening of boredom, which no doubt will not lead to a next date.

Tip #23
If your date suggests going bowling or to play putt-putt or something of the sort make sure you tell them if you don’t like the activity, otherwise you may not have fun & ultimately ruin your chances with this person. Just because your date/man/husband/lover/girlfriend is into something does not mean you need to be!!

Dating Tip #22
I am so sorry it has taken so long for me to post a new tip, I've been very busy lately...unfortunately not from dating :(
If they want dessert & you are full, tell them to go ahead & order & if they offer you a bite it is polite to taste it unless you really don’t care for it or honestly couldn’t eat another bite.

Dating Tip #21
Just because I told you to order & eat on a date doesn’t mean that you should make a pig of yourself. If they take you out for BBQ & you want the ribs, dig in but just make sure you wipe your face often & definitely wash your hands after the meal.

You Are You!
Ok ladies, I've been on the dating scene forever & in the past I was guilty of the following but I eventually learned better.
So we all know how exciting the "honeymoon phase" of a new relationship is and how you just can't get enough of this person and the mere thought of being away from them makes you want to die but ladies, you cannot succumb to this nagging desire to spend every waking moment with this dude. I say that you are allowed no more than 3 weeks of disappearance in a relationship and then you need to get back to reality. If you spend more than that amount of time all locked up with your new man you are going to start losing relationships that you have been building for years. Your bff that has been around since high school isn't going to take kindly to you ignoring her for some guy, and eventually will just walk away from you. Spending all of your time with your man is only going to cause your friends to hate him which will again cause them to leave you, all alone with your man, who I can guarantee hasn't given his friends up for you. I'm not saying that you can't talk to him all of the time but when the weekend comes I find it best to spend one day with the man & one with the friends then everyone is happy. I will also say that when you are out with your friends they don't want to hear you talk about your man all night. You are you, you still have your own identity & your own life, interests, views...etc. I recommend treating a new relationship like you have been in it for years, not weeks. This will be greatly appreciated by your friends, his friends, and best of all the relationship which will be much stronger & stand a better chance when there is space involved rahter than smothering each other & the fire between you. Question my suggestions? Watch the Lauren/Heidi/Spencer saga on teh Hills & if you want to live friendless like Heidi then ignore all I've said, but if you would rather not be talked about by your "friends" behind your back then taek my suggestions to heart. Your man should compliment you, not run your life!!

Dating Tip #20
If you are going out to eat with someone make sure you order & eat, don’t get a salad (unless you really want one) because you don’t want to look like a pig, most men want to date women who can eat & appreciate food.

Do not have drinks before your date. Sure, you may want to have one drink before (to take the edge off) but going out for happy hour with your friends then meeting your date is a recipe for disaster.

How to Dump Someone & Tip #18
So, lucky for all of us wikiHow posted this today, so if you are trying to figure out how to dump someone, check it out!!
Dating Tip #18
While you want to have your date on your turf you don’t want to take them to your local “cheers” where everyone knows your name, nobody wants to be bombarded like that on a first or even a second date & then they may also question how much time you spend there. You are better off going to a large chain type establishment that you frequent so you feel comfortable but since they always have a ton of staff & customers in there you are less likely for the whole bar to scream your name upon your arrival.

Dating Tip #17
If you are not having a good time you should be honest about it and end the evening but many of us aren’t comfortable telling someone to their face that we don’t like them so either ride it out or if need be excuse yourself to the bathroom & have a friend call you (repeatedly so you have to answer) and tell you that something happened with them & their significant other & they are at your house & need you ASAP.

Follow Up: Why Don't You Like Me?
Ha, so I get this response...even here, his spelling is so awful I can barely stand reading the message! I did not edit anything, this is the message exactly other than my adding the bold text to the obvious terrible spelling & what not.
"just want to let you know that i am well educated and am capable of writting with proper spelling and punctation. the reason i dont on my profile is, i would think people would not have to worry about the proper punctation and spelling because this is only a dating site nonthing professional."
Nothing professional? Let me tell you something pal, you didn't get the job!

Do not spend your whole first date talking about yourself, people don't generally take interest in others who don't take interest in them.
