Most Dateless Weekend
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For the next 48 hours, the entire dating scene will be virtually deserted. There will be few actual dates this weekend and you can forget about Sunday brunch/movie date. It’s the football fan’s REAL Valentine’s day weekend. You know when they express their adoration for football, their first love!
If you are single and looking, you may have a few opportunities this weekend to score some numbers, do a little flirting, and maybe even turn some heads. Besides, if you are on the prowl, it’s good to find your prey in its native habitat. Defenses are down!
A few tips to help you out if you are mingling among other singles this weekend:
Do not to take it personally when the hot guy or girl you are talking to gets distracted by the game. Consider it a good sign if they actually acknowledge your presence. Thankfully, there will be commercial breaks!
Be sure to linger around the snacks. Hey, single people have to eat, right? Don’t worry, eating chicken wings can be sexy!
Ladies, don’t feel intimidated about joining a group of eligible bachelors. They won’t bite, and the game serves as an ideal ice breaker. You may have to do a little recon to find out who is single and who came with someone.
Also, don’t be alarmed if the seemingly quiet, laid back person you are chatting up suddenly starts screaming at the top of their lungs. Football fans can be pretty intense. Just watch for flailing arms and beer spills. You will be fine.
Get the digits at half-time. Check the ring finger. Keep your game face on!
What are your plans for the big Super Bowl weekend? Do you actually have a date?
Are you a football widow/widower? Does your SO completely ignore you on Super Bowl Sunday? Do you plan to try to squeeze in some romance somehow?
Who do you think will win? I will probably go to a Super Bowl party in Alpharetta. The host added a twist to donate items/money for a great cause, so it’s a win-win. As long as the screen is big, I’m happy.
Happy Friday everyone!!

TGIF-Off Topic sorry….My guy of 6 months states that he wants a baby…he’s 45 & already has a 18 year old…I dont have any..he wants a son(I would only want a son)….I do sometimes & I dont other times & I really dont know how to express this too him….just curious why a 45 year old would want to start over after being almost set free(from child support that is)…he still has to support her since she’s in college….

Wisey great topic! btw, how are you doing this morning after going thru what you did yesterday? you were on my mind last evening. how scary that might have been.
i was thinkin’ about going to a Superbowl party, but i don’t know where one is. any suggestions? I would prefer a sports bar. the atmosphere there is really nice to me. the .02 given above is helpful, but all that was was common sense.

hi Tweety! i’m tryin’ to stay away from giving advice. sometimes i feel bad when my advice is taken the wrong way. everyones life is so different. but it’s hard to not respond. anyways, having a man’s baby is permanent. meaning he’ll be in your life forever. do you love him? if yes, marry him if you are even considering having his child. start off this thing right. having a child is serious business. the child deserves happy healthy parents in the home. good luck to you guys! and happy planning.

This is one of the best weekends to meet someone if you are into football. I have a few options this Sunday…either a small gathering with friends where I know everyone. Or a big frat gathering where men are going to be everywhere.
Since I actually like the Patriots, I am going to be focused on the game. The bad thing is that most folks are anti-Patriots, so it’s harder to bond when you’re rooting for opposite teams! I went to one huge party a couple years ago and it was just me and one other guy rooting for the Pats, out of like 500 people. But at least he and I got to know each other better!

Mornin Football fans
Also, don�t be alarmed if the seemingly quiet, laid back person you are chatting up suddenly starts screaming at the top of their lungs. Football fans can be pretty intense. - This sums me up perfectly. Wont do this much on Sunday but when my team is on I get instense. Fellas the key to a successful football party is not gettin a stain on your shirt. Ladies if you are gettin ignored by your man during the game make sure you know who he is rooting for, then wait until they score a big touchdown then grab him a give him a kiss in celebration. Trust he’ll remember this and now you’re apart of the game!

Morning blog…
The Super Bowl, and most sporting events are good occasions to meet other singles. Seems that everyone is more at ease and receptive. Not as much gaming IMO.
2 ever had to scrape up enough change to get your gas tank back on E!…be like, shoot, all I gotta do is make it home after work, then, ain’t gotta go nowhere…cause that direct deposit gon’ hit at midnight, then I’m straight!!!
Let me one-up you there champ… make it to Wednesday, call in sick on Thursday, then checking wachovia.com first thing Friday morning, just to make sure that your direct-deposit hit like it was supposed to.

Truth - Good point. Some amateurs began to emerge on the blog once the playoff started. I think someone asked if the Patriots and the Jaguars would be facing off in the Super Bowl, which is impossible because 1) The Jags had already been knocked out (by the Pats) and 2) they both play in the AFC so they would never face each other in the Super Bowl!

not to mention that by just attending a sporting gathering, a chick get major points for being sports inclined…
word of caution, if you meet someone there, be ready to be accommodating on the subject of sports, don’t expect a guy to miss a bunch on games next season just because u wanted him to do something else like go ride the bike at the park… by meeting him at a SB party, ur saying that u understand sports fanaticism and ur gonna be accommodating to that end :)

Morning Folks!
My co-worker is throwing a SB party and I’m going. She’s not a football fan and usually I don’t go to non-fan SB parties, but since I don’t really care about this game - I’ll be there socializing. I can catch the abbreviated version of the game Tuesday night on NFLN.
Remember Affect Verb, Effect Noun - don’t mean to be grammar police but the incorrect use of affect and effect is one of my pet peeves. So next time, think of RAVEN…
that and the improper use of ‘myself’ which has become acceptable for all public speakers

I’ve been so broke that I had to go to church’s food pantry for food, help with the bills, etc. Then sat down rolled up some change to come up with gas money to put in the tank of the car that I had to hide from the repo man. Also, took trash bags, hand soap etc from work and washed clothes at the job using the detergent that just said Detergent…talking about some harsh stuff.

SexyLeggs I had plans for this Sunday just to find out that somebody invited people to our house to watch the game. Now I have to put on my June Cleaver facade and play humble host. BAH HUMBUG!!!!
One way to keep people from wanting to be entertained at your house is provide bad food. But all my friends know that I am a pretty good cook so that’s out of the question.
