"</p> <p>uh, let me think...YES !!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update/page/2#post-954988 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:11:04 +0000 Angie 954988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the concept of "hiking dates". Have fun and keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update/page/2#post-953996 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:17:52 +0000 Sveta 953996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please keep the soap opera updates! If you had a great time together hiking he may be very well the one... The thing is that during hiking&nbsp;people are more&nbsp;themselves than during a normal date because with all this huffing and puffing uphill&nbsp;they don't have any opportunity to put on the "show". I have my hopes for you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update/page/2#post-953851 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 03:26:46 +0000 velvetychocolate 953851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your movie outfit, and this all sounds very ...well, I can't help but smile. It sounds pretty good!</p> <p>Too funny about his aunt who pesters him about Facebook posts.</p> <p>What do <i>you</i> think?&nbsp; Do you like him? </p> <p>Just curious </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-953797 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 02:13:08 +0000 rae 953797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, big fun. I think he would not have stayed for lunch, let alone asked you to the film if he didn't like you. Maybe this is just me, but I'd rather go to the movies alone than go with someone I'm not interested in. How are you liking him? I like that he can keep up with you on the hiking trail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-953513 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:13:00 +0000 RoseandJoan 953513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer logic to romance Anna, he obviousy enjoys your company so give it time to develop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952961 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:40:09 +0000 annagybe 952961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to say I got a picture of us at the top of the hike, with our arms around each other's shoulders. Not entirely the most flattering look as we both were pretty sweaty.&nbsp;He said every time he posts or gets tagged in picture on facebook, his aunts ask him lots of questions about any women in the picture. I asked if it was ok to post the picture of us, and he said yes. So I did post it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952951 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:29:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 952951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great day with The Guy Anna. Whether or not we receive updates is entirely up to you - no pressure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952901 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 00:20:57 +0000 Anonymous 952901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, please keep the updates coming. I loved the outfit you wore. I still think this is really promising. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952895 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 00:14:54 +0000 Janet 952895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit!</p> <p>Just a word of encouragement to continue taking it easy and getting to know him:</p> <p>I was not sure whether the first few times my husband and I went out were actually "dates." We had a great time together and did a bunch of different things, even took a day trip to NYC. It was very platonic at first, until I kissed him at a Christmas party. We celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary this week. So you just never know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952860 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 23:07:07 +0000 marianna 952860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very exciting and interesting news! Keep the updates coming! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952810 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:29:03 +0000 Sara L. 952810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy the updates. I don't usually comment on these threads although I do read them. I feel like others have much better advice for you than I would. I've been out of the dating scene for many years and wasn't very intuitive even when I was dating (I am, in many ways, a typical engineer). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952773 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 19:07:04 +0000 lyn* 952773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Updates! I will live through you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952721 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 18:09:42 +0000 rachylou 952721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok. </p> <ol> <li>Ohmigod, I LOOOOOOOOOVE that outfit. Now I understand why folks want to be fair and blonde ;&gt;</li> <li>Thank you for this opportunity to pontificate on relationships. I'm so happy!</li> <li>You know, Archer has a point about the "randomness" of the ticket, which is real cute. My #3 bf once explained to me what men go through to ask women out. His plot to ask me out was positively <i>Byzantine</i>. And <i>long term</i>. It was also, I recognise, absolutely essential. It's like in the movie <i>Tootsie</i>, how Jessica Lange says she wishes a man would just say it straight, and when Dustin Hoffman does - she throws her drink in his face. Haha!</li> <li>Olivia Wilde as dream woman. Well, in my *great* wisdom, I say he's telling you what he thinks he thinks and showing you who he is. Y'all are also knitting one sort of relationship or another by speaking of emotional things and responding to one another. Olivia Wilde is an excellent choice in my opinion. Not that I know anything about her, but she does strike me as "someone who could just hang out, be mellow and drink beer." When left to our own devices, I think that's just who we all go with - someone we can relax around, who causes no worry because they're on our side and has no "if only you'd do this" thoughts about us. Also, most of life is not stimulating conversation and adventure. It's really all about kinda enjoying yourself talking about paper towels <i>ad nauseum</i>.</li> <li>Hugs are good. Slow boys are best.</li> <li>I want every last detail!! But with caveats. I have my reasons. The caveats are: 90% has to be what's good about him (good now, not how good his potential is). Only 10% can be what's doubtful. And should you have a first kiss, all details stop thereafter. My reason for these caveats are, a girl needs to put up a united front with her guy before her girlfriends. You have to start as you mean to go on. Telling your girlfriends a guy's secret and not-so-secret faults is most disloyal. A girl will get dumped for that and rightly so. If you can't keep it to 10%, you need to dump the guy. Yes.</li> <li>Everyone has such great points.</li> </ol> <p><i>Squee</i>. Dating is fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952715 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 18:02:50 +0000 DonnaF 952715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, updates please!&nbsp; So. . . .</p> <p>1.&nbsp; He knows you can actually power through a hike and that you weren't just trying to please him when you said you liked to hike.&nbsp; [And was his friend ACTUALLY out of town?]</p> <p>2.&nbsp; He planned an *out* so that he wouldn't have to spend the afternoon with you, but didn't use it; instead he asked you to the movie.</p> <p>3.&nbsp; He knows you pay attention to your appearance and your wardrobe, but aren't so high maintenance that you can't shower and dress in time to meet him at a specific time.</p> <p>Sounds good to me.&nbsp; But of course YOU need to decide if he's worth your time and that you aren't hearing and ignoring alarm bells. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952684 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 17:04:18 +0000 Thistle 952684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Diana. This could be a really positive comment!</p> <p>The outfit is fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952670 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:40:29 +0000 Diana 952670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the updates coming!&nbsp; The day sounds like it went really well... and I think the comment is a positive one - after all, you did hang out and drink beer together at the brewpub, right?</p> <p>Love the outfit.&nbsp; You are so pretty in pastels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952666 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:33:12 +0000 rebekahphoto 952666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sounds like you are having fun so far &amp; yes the updates are nice! like the others, I also feel sometimes it is nice to live vicariously. the dating scene can be rough, especially in slow burn seattle.... If he likes beer, I might suggest a date/group date to Gallaghers u-brew in Edmonds. its geat fun, relaxed &amp; you learn a lot making your own beer for about 1 1/2 hr (while having a pint too)</p> <p>love the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952659 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:22:13 +0000 bj1111 952659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sounds like he is slow burner!&nbsp; super fab outfit.&nbsp; love that top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952490 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:56:01 +0000 Mochi 952490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi. I'll start off with the disclaimer that it's just how I roll, but I never ever ever tell a woman "looking promising" or what not because men are just so hard to read, and I hate contributing to any building of expectations.&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, I think at least the turn here is interesting and positive. He put a lot of time and energy (physical, etc) into your time together. It was a series of activities. I think his saying something about his ideal woman--unless he's a bit socially inept--is a good thing, like he's making these associations out loud in your presence. I think he likes you. And I know you want a boyfriend, but whatever shape this takes, I think it's a good thing if you can appreciate it. Please do update us! We are all cheering for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952488 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:52:09 +0000 Krista 952488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds great so far, Anna! &nbsp;And your outfit for the movie was perfect! A great change from a hiking outfit and very appropriate for an independent film.<br />For context and so you know you're not the only one, the first time I met my husband we went for drinks and it ended with a handshake (!), the second time was our first "date" and it ended with a hug. &nbsp;Turns out he was trying to be respectful and chivalrous. &nbsp;And he was - I just clearly hadn't dated someone like that before! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952486 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:44:17 +0000 Anonymous 952486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, updates!</p> <p>I am glad the hike went well, and that sounds lovely that you got to have lunch with him and then a movie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952478 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:14:45 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 952478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please don't stop the updates.&nbsp; Some of us may want to live vicariously through you.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; </p> <p>I think the outfit was perfect.&nbsp; It is playful and fun and flattering all in one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952462 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:54:39 +0000 Hil 952462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course we want soap opera updates! And I thought your movie outfit was great! Can't wait to hear the next instalment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952443 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:27:26 +0000 Archer 952443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: outfit is a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952442 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:25:53 +0000 Archer 952442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I do. Do you really think the 'spare ticket' was random? The comment re the 'perfect woman thing' is funny don't you think, considering the 'change for who' discussion? Is he suggesting he likes you in the hike, change, movie beer mode?<br /> I think you should start telling us a fictional story from now on so we don't get too voyeurist and/or make you think too much about it! Just a suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952425 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 05:06:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 952425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely &amp; your real life is better than any soap opera, so yes keep the updates coming.&nbsp;Sounds like you've found a friend at the very least - not to be sneezed at </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952421 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 04:53:01 +0000 MsMary 952421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the soap opera updates coming!&nbsp; Love your outfit, and the report sounds promising! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952407 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 04:02:05 +0000 annaj 952407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds great Anna! I understand completely about his ideal woman being someone to just hang out and relax with - I think really, it's what a lot of us want. It's easy to find people to "do" things with, but at the end of the day, its often that we just want someone to "be" with. I wouldn't read too much into it - it sounds to me like that is exactly what the 2 of you did, so I'd say keep going and enjoy it!&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boy-update#post-952404 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 03:54:03 +0000 Adelfa 952404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does sound promising. </p>
