Good morning all. Boy the week is slipping by.

As mentioned before, I’m a big fan of the “pre screen.” I want to know you before I go out with you. That way, you won’t worry about me just looking for a “free meal” and I will be comfortable enough with you enough to talk about things other than the typical “interview” questions.

I do give guys with good character, or intellect a shot. I had been conversing with a guy recently over email. I wasn’t physically attracted to him, but he had a brain on him. Unfortunately, the more I got to know the less I liked. It’s good I found that out early so that we won’t be wasting each other’s time!

What are good ways to assess the character of a person you are dating? Talk to them. Ask them what their dreams are and ask them about their failures. I am learning that the way a person talks about their failures is a testimony to if their character has evolved or if they are still wallowing in their own muck.

How do you pre-screen before you really let someone into your life?

Hmm I thought about this and realized I don’t have a litmus test for friendships or relationships.

I mean I seek out people with the same values I have but there is no yardstick(well except height and I have even broken that “rule” a time or two).

I am learning to set boundaries. One of my favorite authors said something at a book signing this summer and it has stuck with me.

“Not everyone deserves a seat in the front row of your life.

Doesn’t mean you dont like/love/care for them, but some folks have to take a seat in the balcony. So knowing that I set boundaries on just who gets a front row seat, backstage pass, or nosebleed seats in my life/love journey.

“A Successful Dater”???? What is that?

You never really know a person until you deal with them. All the pre-screening can only be done while actually dating that person. The key IMO is to not let yourself get too deeply involved with that person before you are well into the “get to know you” stage.

If you don’t go out with someone, spend time with them there is no other way to get to know them.

Raqi, that’s a good point.

And I do agree that a “successful dater” doesn’t really exist, but I think if you avoid people who are wildly inapproapriate for you (therefore saving yourself a lot of heartache) you’re better off in the dating world. And I think the whole screening process really helps that.

By Dan

I can’t believe that I’m typing this…

I’ll actually agree with ARed.

Sometimes those long “interview” conversations lead to a mental attraction that can completely shut down by the physical (or lack thereof) of physical attraction.

That’s kinda why I’m happy with becoming more and more shallow. I’d rather do the “airy” convo’s until I’m sure the attraction is there for me. I too am mentally stimulated and drawn to a person sometimes because of that. But once the mystery is gone and the insanity revealed, attractive or not, I’m done.

I think successful dating is finding out what works for you. And for me right now, physical and mental attraction combined just have to be there.

I realize that desire has dwindled my potential dating pool into a highly narrow field.

Doesn’t sound to me like you have had much success in the dating world, yet you write a blog about dating its not a mystery to us regulars…and she is sharing her experiences.. a “successful dater” doesn’t really exist a successful dater got married or is about to,for the most part,unless they have chosen to be single their entire lyfe…… I have often indicated to folks that as a male, i preferred to have have early on sexx,in my dating days.It was a selfish wish but if you are really dating to find someone for the longterm,why rush to engage in sexx with someone u hardly know.Why not fix dates and have fun over a period while observing each other’s interactions with friends, family etc, to see what the other person is like.That is a better screening method.In this day and age of the condom however, uall dont give too much stock in sexx,shove it in,wiggle,puke,puke and take it out and trash and then go about ur business.We are in the microwave age of quick hits and delights. But if u rush to get compromised and he ends up dumping ur dead body in the freezer,who is to blame for that??

Good topic…I have been on this kick lately also. I think the key is Praying for discernment. I need to try to see through every script/playbook as fast as possible. I have also reverted back to talking on the phone a little bit more before we go out(which I hate to do especially if we are in the same city, I would rather just meet). Me being somewhat spontaneous, Ill meet you and say, let’s meet for drinks/dinner this weekend, and I may not have even known her last name! Now, I just want to get a better feel for them to see if they are even worth going out with or even compatiable.

When it comes to actually screening for character, scruples, morals, and values, a lot of us relax our standards, so to speak. We make excuses because they’re hot. We overlook behavior because the sex is great.

Here’s a novel idea: how about getting to know them a little bit before you jump in the sack with them? It’s beyond ironic to mention screening for their character and morals and fvck1ng them in the same breath.

Sorry if that seems a bit coarse, but come on. Surely you have more self-control than that? Surely more self respect?

And all the man w******* who would claim that without quick sex they’ll walk, puh-leeze. Spare me. If these chicks aren’t smarter than that by now, they’ll never be.

I have made a lot of mistakes in the pre screening realm. One thing I want to do is talk to someone for about 20-30 minutes before I give them my number. Needless to say it takes a lot to get my number now days ..

Amazon A successful dater does exist.

You are considered successful when your effort materializes into your objective. Before any of us (my siblings) were allowed to date we had to endure the “you date to marry” lecture from my father. So to him a successful dater is one that finds the mate to marry. Their efforts paid off.

In today’s society people date for different reasons. Some still to find spouses. Others to find life long partners that don’t necessarily result in marriage. And many for the sole purpose of meeting and bedding as many as they can.

A hunter that snags its desired prey is deemed successful.

All the interview/pre screening in the world will leave you confused and twisted. People can tell you anything they want about themselves but show you something totally different. I take a person for face value - what you show me- your actions. A person can have all the right answers but they don’t live by them. IMO some ppl are too hard on themselves looking for the what in a person instead of the who in a person.

I think that you never really know a person until you know a person that knows themselves.

People get married, have kids, and then one day BOOM! the dude or the lady realizes that they’re gay; or don’t like marriage; or don’t like kids, or whatever.

People like to pretend that in relationships that you know your SO. The truth is, you know that person at that time, we all as individuals are constantly evolving, constantly learning, constantly changing and the one thing that we have direct control over (ourselves) is the last bastion.

So, blind date, semi-friend or not do you ever really know someone?

If you feel you have to live with someone in order to really know them, in terms of whether they’d make a suitable or ideal mate for you, then you’re rushing things.

Certainly, you can get to know a person better than that without living with them. Chances are, you really know them better than you’re willing to admit, if there are question marks that you prefer to overlook for one reason or another. If you’ve been having a relationship with someone and you feel they don’t allow you to really know who they are, then you have to choose whether to try to get them to open up and trust you, or whether their problems in that regard are insurmountable for you. If it turns out your partner is so disingenuous as to purposely deceive you about who and what they are, it certainly will affect your trust issues.

That said, everyone has trust issues to some degree. Everyone will change over time. It’s quite common for people to start to consider that their own desires resulting from their own personal growth and evolution count more for them than their mate does. It can take 1, 5, 10 or 20 years; it happened to me. That doesn’t mean we didn’t truly know each other. That means one decided they’d be better off without the other.

Dan the closest two people will ever get is living under the same roof every single day. And there are signs the point to every thing. You live with them long enough it is only a matter of time before the signs start to show. Talking with them, interacting with them, seeing how they adjust or not to certain situations…it’s all there.

Like I said, you never know a person until you live with them. Where a person is most familiar and most comfortable is where they tend to let their guard down.

Contrary to prudent judgment and common sense, I’m of the opinion that too much scrutiny or pre-screening can be counter productive. The term itself implies some type of cold, analytical, clinical evaluation. I’ve always dated to have fun. ”individuals are constantly evolving, constantly learning, constantly changing” so true. The fruition of love is an uncertain journey. Ironically, the unknown is what keeps it new. That’s why I’m not a proponent of living together before marriage. Additionally, I never evaluated my personal relationships with the same due diligence I implement in business. I always followed my heart, even if it didn’t look good on paper. After the most intensive prescreening process is completed, you still never know what you got…. until you get it.

My friend met a guy that had all the likes and none of the dislikes, but there was one thing, a big thing that she wasn’t sure if she could deal with. One day we were talking and she was like ‘but Tazzee, he has everything on my likes list and nothing on my dislikes list’ and my response was ‘maybe you need to add that to your dislikes list’

If you pay close attention to your feelings, her facial expression and her body language when you ask for her number; you will know if a woman will

1- Help you to be responsible of your own emotional well being

2- Act as a nuclear ecstasy pill that boost your emotional high or

3- Becomes an emotional drag that destroy ambitions and drive you to insanity

Every man should have clear goals and a clear perspective of where he wants to lead his life and should automatically disqualify any interaction with the type of woman who is not on his path.

A woman should date to find a man with goals that side with her own; unfortunately many women date with a single goal in mind: to marry. I wonder what come next after their dating goal is accomplished……misery or babies or both?

If my husband had told me to write down every important detail, good and bad, about myself that I feel he should know before marrying me, my list would not have covered half of it. However it would more than likely have listed things he care less about.

That would be because there are things about us that not only we but our mates also may think are unimportant but when in action can be a nuisance. And there are things that we can find very charming about our mates that we would never have imagined.

One example of a simple irritation that I actually thought I liked, he does not leave his clothes scattered over the floor. He rolls them into a nice tight bundle. I found that endearing when we were dating. But when we were dating I did not have to wash those clothes. Now it bugs me to have to stand there and shake that bundle loose.

My goal is to marry a man with goals that complement mine. See - two goals wrapped up in one. If all I wanted to do was date, then I would date to find a man that was fine as heyall and didn’t talk too much, LOL

Chink * Is it possible to “date” a guy for a long time (years) and not be intimate and still be togther and loyal?* I had a long answer but can summarize by saying no. You don’t even want a cat that would go for that deal.

What if he said he doesn’t take out women he hasn’t slept with? Would that be cool with you? You may abstain but he won’t.

Dan/Ared you two should patch up your relationship. Kiss and make up or slap each other and make up. Either way, make up. LOL

What about …

When he forgets to flush the toilet and leaves a lovely surprise for you.

When he leaves the door unlocked after coming in.

When he walks over whatever is lying on the floor that should not be lying on the floor a million times and you count to see how many times it takes for him to actually pick it up!!!

When he cooks dinner and thinks he is doing you a favor.

When he mows the grass and does not empty the mower bag. Then you find yourself trying to figure out the stinky smell in the garage.

When he takes your idea and make it seem like he thought of it first.

When he cleans his ears with Q-tips and throws them or so call puts them in the trash, but you find them in the bed, etc.

When he gets out the shower and lays on the bed wet.

When he is sitting on the toilet and wants you to come and conversate with him.

When it is just you two at home, he walks around nekkid and sits his nasty behind in all the chairs, bar stools and couches.

DAN come on ova here and sit down and lets expound on whats suppose to be the topic for the day: should we or shouldnt we ‘pre-screen’ a potential SO? i think its really the whole ‘we are visual creatures’ topic reincarnate. we ‘pre-screen’ at a glance and then when they pass that level of screening, we forge further…. can they carry a conversation, and when that level of testing is passed, still further: are they fun? not an addict? gainfully employed? financially stable? disease-free? et cetera, et cetera.

What sometimes throws all this off is the fact that they are engaged in the same critique of us. we take our eyes off the ball ensuring that we pass their examination of us. and then we’re so pleased with ourselves for having successfully passed, that we fail to go back and make up ground…. get back to ensuring they meet our self-defined standards.

too often, things are too far gone before we realize its all wrong and too late to back-pedal.

When he has 3 opened juice bottles in the fridge all the same flavor and has drank out of all of them.

When he sinuses are acting up and there is an entire box of used Kleenex in the bed, on the floor and every where else.

When he wakes you up to ask you if you are asleep.

When he does NOT cook dinner and act like he is doing you a favor.

When you ask him what he wants for dinner and he says it doesn’t matter and then after the fact tells you what he wish you would have made.

When he drives pass 3 gas stations just to get home and ask if you wouldn’t mind putting gas in his car…Oh wait I am the one that does that.

She runs the show and the regulars allow it. What I wonder is how every time I refresh my screen, I see her name. I want her job! Or is it that she doesnt have a life outside of this blog? Hmmm.

@DasV

Exactly.

There are checkpoints. Visual, check. Personality, check. (All those you named), check. Then there is the relationship.

What kills even the most cautious person, is the one thing we didn’t see coming. It huants you all after the fact: why didn’t I know? How could I not have seen?

My contention is that one will never know. That person may not know until after the decision is made. And even as adults, who among us can make a decision and then when asked “why?” genuinely reply “I don’t know”.

It doesn’t make either party bad, or good, for that matter. It just is.

@Truth/Chink

I want to know that too. I mean, aren’t you setting yourself up for failure already.

While I know that women don’t have the need to express the sexual drive that both sexes share, would you, could you, really believe that you could be with a man that wasn’t getting it from you, and think that he’s not getting it at all?

chink a dudes allegiance to his johnson always overrrides his allegiance to his god. He’ll either get with you or some other chick, or dude. That’s the only reason I’d think a dude would even entertain that nonsense, because he really liked dudes and is using you to mask it. As for a chick, most make that decision after slinging azz all over atlanta and then realizing that didn’t work. From one extreme to the other.

Btw, everyone else in the church is fuggin including the preacher. This is bigger than you and I. This is what keeps this world spinning.

On another note, lets discuss this freaky side of you and maybe we can get to the root of the problem. LMAO

On the topic of abstinence, under certain circumstances, I think it can truly enhance and strengthen a relationship. For instance, you’ve been with your lady awhile, yall have gotten it down a thousand times, and you both make a conscious decision to abstain to alter the direction of the relationship and refocus your energy on other aspects of your union. Sometimes its fun to test your willpower and the exercise often rejuvenates the friendship. I also wanted to comment on the visual pre-screen. I’m naturally a people watcher. Typically it takes about 10 seconds for me to categorize a female. I look them up and down and quickly conclude one of the following. 1. ”Dayum lil mama is outstanding” , 2. ”Baby tight, but she still has some learning to do”, (i.e. she needs to step her shoe game up or learn what panties to wear with certain outfits), 3. Hood Chick, but I bet she’s cool to hang with. And 4. ”This b&ch might be a dude, look away immediately!!”*

And if you think a dude cares more about god than his johnson you are sadly mistaken, kinda like these chicks going to church every sunday and then popping out kids the rest of the week. God may be alot of places but he sure ain’t in bed when folks do what they do. LOL

We can bs each other forever but folks want what they want and they’ll get it, even if its just 10% of your income. I don’t mind riding myself to ruin but I don’t want some jack legged preacher driving me. No thanks.

Btw, I’m pretty good at editing. Send over those notes so I can check them for typo’s. LOL

Amazon the only good reason for abstaing to me is your just not interested in sex. Then it behooves you to find someone with similar thoughts. If a chick, or dude, can resist during this most important bonding period they can definetly do it afterwards. A great relationship consists of mental, emotional and physical bonding. If either are missing you’re just faking the funk. Now don’t beat me up cause I’m giving my point of view. LOL

Not all, but some preachers are using this line of leadership as a control mechanism over the females of a congregation. Ever notice how many chicks end up leaving the men that they had before they made the big Leap of Faith? Ever wonder why as a single fornicating woman you are NOT encouraged to bring along your dude into the fold?

Nope. But if that’s your choice then be it all the way. Don’t slob me down, handjob me to death, tongue-bathe me, maybe even put it in your mouth, and finish up talking about how, “Cut!”, because you’ve found religion.

Hahahaha… I guess that you missed a linking ideas here, and that being if you were seeing a dude for 1.5 years or so, and you were discussing marriage, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve spent more than 3 or 4 overnights together, in which you’d probably be spoonin’, you’d probably both be highly aroused, you’d probably do a few other things, AND his johnson would probably be wide awake before the c0ck said good morning.

I kinda agree with Rell,

There is far too much impetus placed on “being pure” and “abstaining”.

Throughout biblical history, God used flawed men and women (in the midst of their inequities, sometimes) to achieve a greater purpose.

For all this religious talk, riddle me this: if God has a plan, a destiny, or a man for you….wouldn’t it come anyway…regardless of your actions?

By abc

Dan, God’s will prevails, that’s true; but blessings he bestows upon individuals depends on their acceptance of them.

If one goes wh0r1ng around (male or female), one could easily make themselves unacceptable for the he or she that God intended. After all, God has a plan for them too, and that could well include marriage to someone who’s not a ho.

Free will exists for a reason. For those that God calls, one must choose God. Now, plenty of people won’t hear the call. Maybe it’s because they refuse to hear, and maybe it’s because God doesn’t call everyone, per Calvinism.

Dan but David went to God in repentence with a contrite heart. He also paid a price for his sins.

So based on your argument - if you commit one sin, you might as well commit them all????

Everyone sins, the difference is what one does with that sin. Another difference is knowingly living in sin, or trying to live a disciplined life that is pleasing to God.

One of my favorite scriptures:

“Everything is permissible for me”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me”—but I will not be mastered by anything. “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food”—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Yes, Dan, David had Uriah killed and took Bathsheba for himself. God was angered and didn’t allow their child to live. David realized the magnitude of his sins and repented sincerely. He was forgiven. All part of God’s plan? Well, that’s certainly how it worked out. David came from Abraham’s line, 14 generations later; Jesus came from David’s line, 28 generations after that; and God knew that would happen, too.

Did God drive David’s choice to sin? No, nor his reaction to sincerely repent and ask forgiveness. That was David’s free will.

Everyone knows right from wrong. Deciding which way to go is Free Will. Serve yourself or serve God, your choice.

@Taz

Yep.

If you believe that God delineates one sin from another, I’d advise you to re-read the book.

A sin is a sin.

Whether I feel better, worse, or nothing by committing any sin, it’s still a sin. All of it is recorded in the Book of Life.

Now if you wanna live righteously, try not to committ every sin, but picking and choosing is vanity (a sin) as to which one’s God counts, and which one’s he don’t.
