			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scarlet, my actively <strong>online-dating</strong> friend, had another dating adventure this week. While visiting  &#8220;back home,&#8221; an older brother of a guy we grew up with made a tentative dinner date with her. They had previously chatted (briefly) on <strong>Singlesnet.com</strong>, but only in a friendly way, not flirty. She was not impressed with his inability to commit to a time or place.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-98148" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/2009/07/cell-phone-michelle.jpg" alt="cell-phone-michelle" width="320" height="197" />Scarlet asked around and heard that he was &#8220;a pretty boy,&#8221; &#8220;too old,&#8221; and had &#8220;man boobs,&#8221; so when her mom hurt her wrist, she was presented with the perfect excuse to cancel the date. &#8220;Canceling&#8221; meant she just didn&#8217;t call him back.</p>
<p>He called her the next day with a &#8220;Thanks a lot, you missed a wonderful time at the lake,&#8221; which was funny because he never invited her to the lake in the first place. He must have been confusing her with a different <strong>date</strong>.</p>
<p>She swore off<strong> online dating</strong> again, as in &#8220;Michelle I am so done with that,&#8221; and then some guy from her list of <strong>Facebook </strong>friends asked her out. What is this woman&#8217;s secret?  Every time she turns around, she gets asked out. And I mean that literally, as one of the men who asked her out did so after driving by her in a parking lot &#8211; she was chatting with coworkers and he liked her ass.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what she has to say about the cancelation, &#8220;I did not want to be a <em>hook up</em>. Man boobs aside, a man should make a date-date, not a &#8216;call me and we&#8217;ll hook up,&#8217; offer. If a man wants to date you, he puts more effort into it than that. &#8221;</p>
<p>That makes a lot of sense to me. Good manners go a long way toward making the right impression.</p>
