Well. My relationship is fine, this is about a friend and I HAD to complain.

Long story short, my friend just got out of a very long term committed relatonship. Had been together about 3-4 years. They broke up. Got back together briefly for a month or so. Then broke up again. On Friday or Saturday, I forget which.

Not only is this bitch in a relationship with someone that she just went on ONE date with 2-3 weeks ago (and a second one on Monday), but she's moving in with them, like... effective right now.

GOD, what is WRONG with the members of my generation!

She has esteem issues. Most likely has to be in a relationship in order to complete her life and fill a void left by the previous suitor. She doesn't have the self confidence to roll through life solo being happy with herself. Most likely this will not end well either.

That's BS. Have you ever seen a Maid Brigade crew? They have to pair them up to balance out the ride in the car.

Or money issues and just wants to live with a guy to leech off of him.

I think both you and NC are right. Although she just had a job interview today so that might be changing. So I've heard. She's been my best friend for a couple years now but this whole situation made me lose all respect for her, so we're no longer on speaking terms. I've got enough crazy in my life, I don't need hers as well.

When you look around a little, there are a shocking number of people with dependency issues....
and a few other things.

You're right. Those people with dependency issues gave us our current President.

Outstanding. Tomorrow night I'm going to dinner with a girl that I was just set up with, I think I need to find a way to 'demonstrate value.' Any thoughts?

It's the way we eat. More specifically how much we eat. Nothing more, nothing less. More calories and many of them are low quality calories. You can eat whatever you want and still maintain or loose weight.

However instead of a small fry or maybe a cup of ice cream people get super sized fries and a giant waffle cone, 3 scoops with all the fixins. Instead of a glass or two of wine we drink Rum and coke until we're hammered. Instead of a fun sized Butterfinger we get a king sized bar.

Basically it boils down to a lot of people not understanding the concept of moderation. Plus I think the fact that people believe exercise is necessary for weight loss serves as a convenient excuse not to eat right.

Be yourself. Be honest and share your goals and plan to get there if you aren't already there. Don't talk about who you know, what you have or any of the like.


That establishes "high value" you are seeking.

ps. make the meetup casual (nothing fancy). Even if it's just a meetup at a coffee shop.

One of the best things I have done was take a girl to a Barnes and Noble, and tell her if she could only read one book in that entire store, what would it be? Have her search it out. It will tell you a lot about her. If she picks the Bible...end the date immediately ...

She's scared to be alone, some women just have to have someone no matter if they really love them or not.
