John, I've tried the "just have fun" way, and I'm 0-28. I think I need a new offensive coordinator.

So far, Ellen wins for "best advice".

Here is the part you should worry about:
"My biggest concern is that I don't repeat any past mistakes."
I understand the concern (and i hate to use a sports analogy here), but that sounds like you are more concerned with losing her than with enjoying yourself.

Serious for me, at least. I've noticed a drift in how I've been dealing with females, and part of this thinking (and commenting on your blog) clearly follows from my own wrestlings. But as always -- take what you like and never mind the not!

K -- just curious. Do you ever think of your dates with the word "women" instead of "girls"? Does it make a diff?

I ask because it sometimes sounds like you're surprised when the person you're going out with has lots of great qualities you would enjoy being around for a long time. I like to think that many "women" (i.e., adult peers of good people such as yourself) have many such qualities. Meanwhile, I think of "girls" as the females who haven't yet become women. And of course, I think of you as someone who would date (by these definitions, anyway), women rather than girls.

Oh, and please pardon my PC-ramblifications! It's late. I'm tired. But I think I may be sniffing a lead...

Ok Ken...I *have* to say it...IMHO the right way to start a relationship without suffering flame-out is to include as much sex as possible! See, flame-out is sure to happen...it is inevitable. It should be worded as how to survive it? There are really only two ways to get through it: Sex, and the other way--if you can become great friends before it happens...But this can backfire and you may just end up being only a "friend"...Of course, you can try for both at the same time and get through it unscathed! Hopefully your WHB doesn't get mad at me for suggesting this! -Ellen

Okay, how long will it be before you get sick of hearing about The WHB?
