Loosing KB! KB is getting loose by reading your blog. KB is no longer tight. KB - the word I think you're looking for is 'losing' as in, to be lost, or to be in the act of becoming lost. Loosing is .. I don't even think loosing is a real word (JK playboy, it is, I looked it up). Loosening, maybe. Anyway, enough of my deconstructive banter. I just love the folks who get on a high horse and then make a simple spelling mistake. :op You here that? Loosing KB! KB is getting loose by reading your blog. KB is no longer tight.

I was on a first date with a guy when he said, "Hey, I would really like you to come over and help me pick out furniture for my place." Huh? Another friend mentioned that she was out on a second date with a guy she wasn't really sure about and he mentioned that they should go to his beach house when it got warmer. I'm sure he was just trying to get across that he had a beach house but it freaked her out and she was out. That brings up another good one. Money. Don't share that you do/don't have money, how much you do/don't make, or flashy material possessions. Sure, some people are into this but most often it comes across as insecurity. The old rule was to not talk about religion or politics on a first date. I think the rule should be don't get into it on a level where you alienate the other person. It's ok to say, "I voted for Obama" or "I got to ABC church" but maybe not get into the stuff that gets your pulse racing. Future plans!

Or a blog about your own experiences? I was under the impression it was the latter. Assuming that's the case, what have you specifically talked about on a date that you look back on and say 'probably not the right thing to say?' Or you can talk about really horrible things women have told you. And saying 'One time a date went into a lengthy story about a recent surgery' isn't enough. That should be the first line of a 3 paragraph story about her story. Honestly, this is reading like stuff I see on msn.com You're loosing me jamsmooth, you're loosing me. Is this an advice blog?
