Maybe you'll be the one do discover how to stop aging huh?

Probably not, I'm more interested in the other end of the lifespan.

OK, let's not get this thread totally off track.

Is that really that hard to do?

I like how you use this as an op. to take a dig at a mod.

Let that be the last one - mmmkay?

And let's get back on topic - we are all waiting for ODogg's 3 day pregnancy test. Fingers crossed!

Re: ODogg's Love Life Thread

Yah... once you're married or in a serious relationship there really isn't an appropriate situation where one should be hanging out with the opposite sex one on one "as friends".

I'll call BS on that one everytime. And I don't mean you happen to be at a party or function for a couple minutes when people walked away, I'm talking about going out and doing stuff together. Not happening... One, or both, of the parties will always want something more.

Couldnt disagree more. I'm in a serious relationship and both my GF and me have friends of the opposite sex. My girl has met my friends and I've met her friends. There is a line (I'm not going to go on romantic dinners or sleep over my friends houses) but these people are friends I've had for years and before I met my girl. I think you are a ****ty person if you desert your friends (man or woman) just because you are in a relationship.

Look, if other men are always going to want to **** your girl if she is attractive but I'm not concerned about that. What I'm concerned about is that my GF isnt going to cheat on me and if I really trust her...that isnt going to be a concern.

Re: ODogg's Love Life Thread

I had girls that were close friends but when I got married I stop being so close to those girls. Mostly because when I was single we would some times flirt around. It was all innocent and nothing ever happened, but when I decided to married one of those good friend girl I knew. I had to stop talking to those other friend girls.

Didn't say you can't still have friends of the opposite sex, I'm saying you can't really go to a movie with JUST another girl, or to dinner, without it being a little weird. I trust my fiancée as well, have no reason not too, it's the dude I don't. There isn't a reason they need to be hanging out alone together in a date like setting. That's for the single people of the world.

Here is what you said:

"Yah... once you're married or in a serious relationship there really isn't an appropriate situation where one should be hanging out with the opposite sex one on one "as friends". "

There are plenty of situations where someone can hang out with a member of the opposite sex one on one without your significant other.

No offense but that "I trust my girl but not that dude" line is BS. I hear it all the time. Your girl is in control of the situation. The way I look at it is if the guy steps over the line, makes a move and disrespects your relationship..then its her responsibility to cut that friend off. If he makes a move and she reciprocates...then that dude just did you a favor because your girl was going to cheat on you eventually.

My rule is simple: I just want to meet your friend once. My girl's friends (male or female) dont have to be my friends and vice versa. I respect the fact that my girl can have a straight guy friend and not want to sleep with him. My friends that are girls know and respect my girlfriend so I dont have to worry about that with me. I assume that its the same with my girl but what eliminates the worry for me is that I trust that if my girl is at lunch, dinner or at a bar getting drinks with a guy friend of hers...she isnt going to **** the guy.

If I ever get to a point when I dont have that level of trust then we will break up.

I don't know about all that letting my chick go out to dinner , lunch , or grab "drinks" with another guy business.

Yeah, I'd rather not let my girl realize she could do much better.

Agreed. One thing led to another....

Cheating almost always starts innocent enough. Then a friendship changed into an emotional connection...then the dominoes start falling.

What is your take on emotional cheating, rather than simple physical cheating?

I think your idea sounds good on paper, but after marriage, I don't know how it stacks up against the idea of emotional cheating.

I don't buy emotional cheating. Every married person has looked at another person during their marriage and imagined sleeping with that person. Cheating is cheating. My girl kisses another man...that's cheating. If she does anything sexual with another man...that's cheating. But if she thinks about it... I don't consider that cheating.

If ur girl is going to cheat, it doesn't matter if you are around or not. That's my point. If ur girl is unhappy and looking for something else, it doesn't matter if you follow her around 24/7 she's gonna find a way to cheat. Same with guys.
