I've read this thread and really feel for what's been said. I think most of yall have good bullisht meters and can spot foolishness coming (or, at least soon after it arrives.) Someone called it a "line," but I think sincere guys really are interested in "getting to know someone." Beyond the attraction that draws you to approach, both sexes want someone with emotional/intellectual depth. (besides, if all you want is freakery, there are sistas down just for that program as well. I met a few--they're scary.)

Jorrie96's post made me think. I tend to meet people just doing what I do. I'm not a bar/club person either, but I do events; frat/sorority and civic functions (grad chapters are hype in my area), youth sports events, business settings, church, grocery store, etc. Usually a few mintutes conversation, or a date or two, and you've got a sense of whether or not this person should/could be in your life on some level(s).

And if it's any consolation, men have similar if contrasting, issues. i.e. the sista who starts out cool, but wants you to meet her children, her parents, siblings and her 8th grade teacher, all in the first week. I'm like "hol up, what's your name again? Can we see if we like each other, first?"

Ultimately, I think we eventually get the peeps we deserve. So, stay up, yall. we gon make it.
