Listening to some of my single female friends in London I don't think they find it any easier to date. I don't think online dating helps much either. <BR/><BR/>Funny joke re: the U-Haul. I'm far from renting a truck, I'm not so keen on being rushed, I like to take my time and get to know someone, see how it goes. Best, Ffishwithoutbicyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071691302805126529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-91171904846621006122007-09-11T12:24:00.000-04:002007-09-11T12:24:00.000-04:00I think the whole "dating" confusion can be simila...I think the whole "dating" confusion can be similar in any major metropolitan area? Or well, some?<BR/><BR/>It's ridiculous and confusing and no one knows what on earth is going on. No one knows how to define it/whomever they're with and yes, some sort of "conversation" needs to be put forth at some point to get it all straightened out. True, it can be about "exclusivity" and also about "just what the hell are we doing here?!"<BR/><BR/>And then there's the whole lovely issue about just when do you have sex. I suppose that's simply personal choice? First date?<BR/><BR/>*PA laughs uproariously*<BR/><BR/>*PA puts on straight face and shrugs shoulders*<BR/><BR/>Have you heard the <B>infamous</B> joke about lesbians/gay women?<BR/><BR/>Q: What does a lesbian bring on a second date?<BR/><BR/>A: A U-Haul.<BR/><BR/>Heh. Now if you don't get it, U-Haul is a truck rental company. Lesbians can be so...wow...dive right in to that relationship! Move your stuff into either person's apartment and you're in a committed relationship like that! <BR/><BR/>*PA snaps fingers*<BR/><BR/>And have I "U-Hauled?" Well, not on the second date but guilty as charged...I've rushed into things. Apart from personal reasons, however, I do have a theory as to why this may(?)happen in the gay community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-76739256657353583302007-09-11T12:11:00.000-04:002007-09-11T12:11:00.000-04:00Hi Agnes, yes I am a Yorkshire lass, from a villag...Hi Agnes, yes I am a Yorkshire lass, from a village near Wakefield, so I know (and love) Leeds, but the men do leave something to be desired.<BR/><BR/>You might have something with the middle eastern thing and relationships being important, who knows. I'm just going to see how it goes. I did date a Persian born man a few years ago and he was one of the most commitment phobic types I've met in a while, but then he had lived in NYC since the age of 12, and his parents had an acrimonious divorce.fishwithoutbicyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071691302805126529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-56656854311434011322007-09-11T09:48:00.000-04:002007-09-11T09:48:00.000-04:00I wrote a comment on this post this morning, and a...I wrote a comment on this post this morning, and as soon as I clicked 'publish', Blogger decided to go into maintenance - so it was obviously lost!<BR/><BR/>Second time lucky, then!<BR/><BR/>Dating in the UK I think has changed. I have tried very hard to snog the face off men in pubs in the hope that they will be my boyfriend. They just run away from me.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps Tel Aviv is more 'committed' to you due to his family background, coming from Israeli descent? Family and relationships seem to have a much more important role to people from the Middle East I have found, which can only be a good thing!<BR/><BR/>And you are a Yorkshire lass, eh? I studied at Leeds and lived in Wetherby for quite a while. I almost got my Yorkshire passport when I married the (now ex) husband, a Leeds lad.

I'm just trying to enjoy it and not worry so much about messing it up ;-)<BR/><BR/>Hope you enjoyed your time in London. I'm not from there - Yorkshire - but I did live there for 6years before moving to NYC in 2000.<BR/><BR/>Heather, you're a true pal. Tel Aviv and I have date #5 on Wednesday.

Amel, I think everyone in New York is pretty clueless too. It's too complicated here and people are incredibly neurotic about labels. God forbid you should refer to some guy you've been dating for 6months as your boyfriend - you won't see him for dust if you haven't previously had a conversation where it's been agreed that he is indeed of boyfriend status. It's tiresome. No wonder so many women never bother dating at all.fishwithoutbicyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071691302805126529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-75021248125771415162007-09-10T15:24:00.000-04:002007-09-10T15:24:00.000-04:00Glad you enjoyed the play, Fish.I agree with alcom...Glad you enjoyed the play, Fish.<BR/><BR/>I agree with alcoment. The dating rules sound confusing indeed. I never dated much at all. I think I only had one "true" date. I can't possibly call meeting my hubby for the first time as a date. So I'm totally clueless when it comes to the dating world.Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429416575218781426.post-70868449461656831012007-09-10T14:47:00.000-04:002007-09-10T14:47:00.000-04:00That sounds so confusing.

Dating in the UK is still very much the same - go to pub, get drunk and before you know it, you and some bloke appear to be dating, with neither entirely sure how it all happened!<BR/><BR/>The play sounds good.
