Trying to figure this place out.
« on: September 30, 2007, 11:35:30 pm »
I've been reading tonight (thru commercial breaks of DH and B&S) in this forum. I keep running across threads with "part......" in the title. What are these threads? Are these the free-for-all, chit-chat type threads? I think I need a catch up buddy. I feel like I came in at the half way point of a movie. LOL ;)

Hi Confused~

You have stumbled upon the Dating Threads in the Women's Forums.  The guys can read them, but they aren't allowed to post there.  Back in June or July, "cjc", a female who posts here with us, started a thread simply entitled "dating."  Lots of us women started posting there, myself included, as I was trying to deal with how to disclose to a neg guy I had been dating.  So, the "Dating Threads" were born.  I'll get you all of the links, and you can meet all of us girls and post with us.  Doesn't matter if you're married, don't date, whatever, its a "journal" of sorts for us women.  Venting is healthy!   :D

We keep them numbered so that new members can keep up with what is going on as well as post their own thoughts. I guess you can say it has turned into a journal for some of the ladies here, myself included. You don't have to post in each one, we are at number 7 now, you can post in that one with any comments you may have about the prior threads. Or anything that may be related to the topic or something you may wish to add. Hopes this clears things up for you.

P.S. Milky,  Ann is going to tear you a new one for posting in the women's forum. You know the rules...Tsk Tsk...

No problem, we are here to help. Look forward to reading your posts in the dating thread. I'm sure with the previous threads you will come across something that you can relate to. Some of us seem to share the same experiences during the same time or have dealt with them in the past. It is also a good place to vent when you feel like you wanna scream or maybe go hormonal on someone's ass... ;D It's also good to get a different person's perspective too.

Cindy, thank you so much for taking the time to put all those links together for me. I have made it through the first two and it has got to be the funniest stuff I have ever read. All the guys' code names, leg huppers, and the "maid". LOL I really want to go ahead with the third but I am hours past my normal bedtime now and my eyes are staring to blur. At least I know where to start tomorrow and I have the day off so I might actually get a lot read if life doesn't go crazy as normal.

Good night ladies.

I have a small intro of sorts in its own post in the women's forum. Since I posted that, I saw where everyone is posting intros in a certain thread. I plan to get around to that soon.

I have read thru part 3. I know I am slow going. I think I am posting these little updates more for myself than anyone else. My memory isn't much of one. I forget the craziest stuff. I tell ya about it if I could remember. LOL

Now I just gotta figure out what a PN appointment is.

Oh and I bookmarked the wedding dash game. Thanks Queen!

I be buried in part 4 and hopefully 5 tomorrow. :)

Hi Confused~

So, you're plugging along!  Yes, we ARE a riot!  Like Queen and BT said, jump in any time!

So, I guess you read that I "shook the leg-humper" loose?  LOL   ;D
