There's a whole new, separate thread for romantic advice/relationship discussion now. Can we please stop cluttering the Groove thread with a DEBATE about the finer points of formal/prom importance and etiquette? XD

I love it when you use your admin voice

This is the same way that the original Flirting Thread started. A way to get Orfie and Gaesii into a room.

There's nothing (and never was anything) wrong with that!

Just make a "giving AIJ advice on dating thread". It'll have the most posts in about a week.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

Got her an engagement ring but it's going to take 2 weeks until the store gets it in. I'm terrible at keeping secrets. Keeping this one from her for two weeks may kill me!

My first paper for uni is due on the 9th of March - the 9th!!!! Looks like I'll have to have it done and dusted by the 7th to ensure I complete it by the due date. Seriously Dean, unacceptable!

Took Mrs. QT out to one of the swankiest restaurants in the city last night. It was decent enough, and she had the beef tenderloin and thought it was delicious, and it came with a nice mix of veggies...but I had the cornish game hen (which was tasty) that came one a bed of some sort of high class beans, that were drowned in butternut squash soup/mash. Ok, so the beans were nasty, and even though I LIKE butternut squash anything...the bean flavour infected the squash rendering it un-eatable. So for $120, all I got out of it was a glass of wine and the equivalent of a small, though tasty, piece of chicken.

That said, the intention was to take Mrs. QT out for a nice dinner and that was achieved as she loved her dinner.

Still, my groove was messed because when we got home I was still hungry, but it was already ten PM.

Ugh.

We'd have been better off at our regular eat out restaurant, The Keg, methinks.

^ I often feel fancy food with razzle dazzle infusion of flavours will be wasted on me as Id just be like 'so wheres the rest of it?' kinda mentality. Ive been for a meal before and finished, still been absolutely starving yet having to foot the bill.

Then again im a greedy fat bastard

Everyone look out the window and let us know if it's raining frogs in your locale!

The best part is you're going to become all secretive and evasive and withdrawn, causing her to doubt your relationship and re-evaluate her priorities and decide that you're not really committed to the couple and she should really go find someone who is ready to commit.

Good luck!

Feel free to seek our collective input on how to pop the question. I personally suggest a trained crow.

Sounds like mission accomplished.

Just grrrrrr. One of those days eh.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
