Probably you wouldn't, so I think that you should go ahead and contact him about it. This isn't breaking some rule about not asking a guy out, so go for it. He lives in Philly, so nothing will probably happen romantically--and if it does anyway? Well, yay! But just assume that it won't so that you won't get disappointed. And that's my advice.Lilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18282326907154246201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490223037281736143.post-15122963902339581192010-05-13T08:44:41.262-04:002010-05-13T08:44:41.262-04:00I think that I'm going to be done with eHarmon...I think that I'm going to be done with eHarmony, too.

I'm so glad it went well!! And I'm ...Yay! I'm so glad it went well!! And I'm excited about your second date too! It is absolutely a great sign that he initiated the second date; it is so cute the way he set it up. It also sounds like it will be a nice and interesting date. <br /><br />It's hard for me to remember what I talked to Dwight about when we were first dating; beginning-of-the-relationship conversation topics are so different than been-together-forever conversation topics. I think it's fine that you both were a little nervous and stuck to the topics you did. Those are the kinds of things people are comfortable sharing before they know someone well. <br /><br />Maybe try this: figure out some interesting things about yourself that you'd like to share with him. It could be items you listed on your eHarmony profile but couldn't explain fully there (like why TJ is your fave president), or funny stories about your job, your childhood, or what it's like to live with three d-bag housemates. Imagine what kinds of questions Ben would have to ask you in order to bring about a conversation in which you can discuss those items. And then ask <i>Ben</i> those questions! He will likely have some interesting stories of his own to share (who doesn't at least have a tale of hilarious college hi-jinx or a funny-after-the-fact story about breaking their leg while snowboarding?), or explanations about the things he wrote on his own online profile, and that may spark some more riveting conversation. <br /><br />IDK. Maybe we can help you come up with some good starting points at Wine Wednesday. :)Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962249035617104355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490223037281736143.post-22604479159779422642010-02-10T15:19:25.616-05:002010-02-10T15:19:25.616-05:00Oh, ok then.

And instead of joining the Amish community, you should just come over and watch <i>For Richer, For Poorer</i> (I think that's the title), a delightful comedy starring Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley that I own. On VHS. It's mildly amusing and it can show you that living among the Amish is probably not what you want to do.<br /><br />Besides, could you live in Intercourse, PA without laughing everytime that you heard your town's name?

I was all ready to not go b/c he was being very odd and never got back to me since last week. Basically, pulling the same crap that he always pulls. But then he sent me a text today telling me that he got us basketball tickets and he wanted to know about plane ticket prices. He said that if they were too expensive, he will give me his frequent flyer miles. I thought that for sure this meant that his offer was legit. I texted him asking if he was absolutely sure and he said Yes! I checked ticket prices and they were back to the original amount. So, in a few short weeks I will heading to, what will hopefully be, a great weekend.<br /><br />Who knows, maybe I'll find someone while I'm there!!Isabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071443493494020212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490223037281736143.post-45932586351165241502010-01-11T18:00:34.521-05:002010-01-11T18:00:34.521-05:00I don't necessarily see a distinction between ...I don't necessarily see a distinction between your blog descriptions.
