I think I like JohnBoy A LOT. And I think he sounds A LOT better than Dayton. You can't wear the same clothes twice on the date, especially back to back. Do you remember one of Jerry Seinfeld's episodes where this girl wearing the same outfit over and over again? He makes me nervous... :) <br /><br />I'm sooooo excited for you!!!Makihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05640331613748386545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-21522720835459452002009-06-30T21:04:17.003-05:002009-06-30T21:04:17.003-05:00forget Dayton! who wears the same clothes again on...forget Dayton! who wears the same clothes again on a second date!? and the "professional" comment? that's just awkward.<br /><br />I'm rooting for JohnBoy!Maggiehttp://redletterhaze.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-59596845247076742512009-06-30T19:40:24.908-05:002009-06-30T19:40:24.908-05:00I hope you see John again!

My favorite dates are those...I vote for JohnBoy ;)<br /><br />My favorite dates are those that play out as follows: date tells me what time he will be picking me up (ex, 7pm) and what i should be wearing (ex, no jeans, but not super fancy). He takes me to a new/exciting/delicious restaurant. We do something spontaneous afterwards.<br /><br />Some of my best dates didn't follow that pattern... but that's what I think of when I think "date."<br /><br />My worst dates? The ones that I didn't realize were intended to be dates (I'm invited to a movie, I think it's a friend/group thing, turns out to be just the one guy and awkward conversation ensues for the entire night).<br /><br />Actually, and I know this comment is getting long but, I think my favorite less traditional "dates" are "day dates," in which I spend an entire day with the guy and we do fun, interesting thing one after the other. Those are really fun, and REALLY special to me (being able to spend an entire day with one person without getting irritated? Amazing).Abrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457041714950736447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-84806301692928335542009-06-30T14:07:37.906-05:002009-06-30T14:07:37.906-05:00"screensaver mode".

Sounds very promising.<br /><br />B) I can't believe you're giving Dayton another chance. And "talk about our feelings." Based on what you've written about him, he wouldn't know a feeling if it hit him square in the jaw. I say, give him a taste of his own medicine and be unavailable due to the need to keep your schedule flexible should you decide you want to wash your hair and do your nails. =)Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-21145126172454978802009-06-30T11:09:20.738-05:002009-06-30T11:09:20.738-05:00My worst date= being taken to a Poetry club by thi...My worst date= being taken to a Poetry club by this Austrian guy in London and him reading a poem about me on the open-mic.<br /><br />Your date with John-Boy however sounds like a winner - can't wait to hear how this one turns out!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11235077158774802615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-12326815700869712502009-06-30T10:44:31.668-05:002009-06-30T10:44:31.668-05:00I went out with a Tanzanian guy a few times.

I stopped seeing him and answering his calls -- and he would literally call 10 to 12 times a day and leave messages. I was lucky he never showed up at my building since he knew where I lived.<br /><br />Also, my now-husband could be a terrible date. He, like Dayton, also wanted to stay "flexible" -- even today he hates being obligated by anything. Once, when we were first dating, he told me we could hang out the following weekend if he "didn't have anything better to do." I still remind him of that very romantic statement. :)Katehttp://punchitin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-14177370869129198802009-06-30T10:44:24.558-05:002009-06-30T10:44:24.558-05:00JohnBoy sounds promising!

I mean, who doesn't like a southern gentleman. I always wished for that for myself...Instead I married a Mama's Boy straight out of the burbs of Chicago. I will live vicariously through you. Do not disappoint. Please. :-)<br /><br />Despite the fact that I'm married, I wouldn't say that I've actually been on a lot of dates. I mean, Hubby and I go out occasionally, and in our very long stretch of dating before marriage, we went out a lot, but I never really considered those dates. <br /><br />That being said, the worst one was with a guy that I'd met on the internet (not my Hubby). He'd just moved to the small town that I grew up in. He seemed nice enough through emails, but didn't have any pics, which might have been a flag of some sort. We decided that we'd go bowling in the next town over. We decided to meet there, even though he lived like two blocks away. I arrived and he was already there - I wanted to leave before I even said hello. What a horrible thing to say - but I was so completely unattracted to him. But he'd been very nice through emails, like I said, so I walked up and introduced myself. We started to bowl and LORD HELP ME, it was the LONGEST ten frames EVER. He was not keeping up his end of the convo, at all. I'd ask a question, get a one word response and that was that. I really thought I was going to fall asleep from boredom. After what seemed like an eternity, we finished bowling and I told him I had to get back home. I think I ended up going out to dinner with a friend instead.JenniferAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016530287799933240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-47544181774688921822009-06-30T06:53:49.497-05:002009-06-30T06:53:49.497-05:00YaY for contestant number 1! my best date was with...YaY for contestant number 1! my best date was with my fiance (who i met on match) where we went to a haunted house, had coffee, talked for hours then caught the late viewing of Flags of Our Fathers (i am a total history nerd!) good luck!!fritzhttp://www.jnyfritz.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-21588092889104823692009-06-30T00:05:37.990-05:002009-06-30T00:05:37.990-05:00Dating is awkward, I can say that much.

I went on a date with him the next day only to find myself greatly disappointed. He wasn't as good looking as a remember (alcohol really does skew your judgement) and his life style was nothing near what I was looking for. He was certainly kind to himself in the way he presented the "I work part time in my friends bar and other than that I'm a big loser."<br /><br />It seems that Dayton doesn't mind letting things fade out between the two of you if it lets him go sailing so I say let him sail away. If he's not putting an effort towards the relationship this early in he won't later on either.<br /><br />JohnBoy sounds like a real winner at this point. If he's even willing to discuss long term with you at this point in the game he's probably looking for something serious. I hope things work out well.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279127451832873647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-91260961224783328042009-06-29T23:23:11.039-05:002009-06-29T23:23:11.039-05:00Keep Johnie and ditch Dayton. seriously, the same ...Keep Johnie and ditch Dayton. seriously, the same dirty clothes? ewe...Living Dees Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05436862324177069484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-42427776598655825112009-06-29T23:18:23.888-05:002009-06-29T23:18:23.888-05:00I think, since you don't have any feelings inv...I think, since you don't have any feelings invested towards Dayton, that you could PROBABLY let things fizzle out.
