    Yes, the Yucky One has my heart. And he's done quite a few yucky things besides. There's no accounting for taste, is there? [huh]

    Age appropriate dress for your chosen era?

    That sounds good. I don't see a need to get rid of high heels, though, unless they hurt your feet. I would start with the premise of a look that is high-end and sophisticated. Very young women can get away with inexpensive clothes, no makeup and wash-and-go hair, but it makes women our age...

    Age appropriate dress for your chosen era?

    I'm 38 and I go with the classics. I've done this for years with my work wardrobe; in fact, today I'm wearing a blazer I've had for close to 15 years. It's a brown plaid woolen blazer that falls at the hip, is tailored, has two buttons and a much-repaired lining. I think if you wear clothes...

    Alas, my heart belongs to the man who drank from my glass and has my gloves. :(

    Dating etiquette

    Agreed. I used to resent paying $5 at a restaurant for a baked potato, since the grocery store sells potatoes for, oh, about 10 cents. Or $1.50 for a cup of tea when a tea bag is about 14 cents. But then, going to a restaurant or theater and going to the grocery store aren't quite the same...

    OK...my idea of a normal life doesn't involve calls to the police or being asked to leave a theater or any other place. To me, buying food and drink at the theater is just a normal thing to do.

    What would you love to wear but have not?

    Me, too. I don't think it would fit through a modern doorway, though. You'd be like Giselle in Enchanted trying to enter the apartment.

    I don't know about your neck of the woods, but people in Denver have been arrested for bringing their own snacks into the theater. My idea of a classy date doesn't involve the police, or being asked to leave. :p

    Dating etiquette

    Would you have preferred a story about the cars belonging to the hired help, and going to another house to take care of a sick aunt, followed by more dates, and then finding out months later that she has quite a few she likes as well as you? If you let people talk long enough, they'll tell on...

    I thought it was pretty standard not to even talk about your ex on a date, let alone make introductions. [huh]

    One Date Wonders A neighbor asked my friend to a dance and met her there. Little Boy didn't bring any money. That was their last date. A guy in the building asked the same friend out for lunch. On their date, he asked her how much she weighed. That was their last date. I went out with...

    Another friend was telling me just yesterday that a friend of hers went out with a guy who had six beers on their date. "He was nervous," she said. Great--so he drinks when he's nervous. "He didn't get drunk." He must get nervous a lot. And then she let him drive her home. :eek: I guess it's...

    There's a time to be frugal, and a time to pony up. (Within your means, of course.) My experience with people who are constantly tight-fisted with you even though they have money is that they don't have much feeling for you.

    It was after a series of many dates planned on a premise of "how little can I possibly spend on this."

    Hey, I said the free pass was fine. :) It was the fact that he brought snacks into the theater that showed, as Bill Cosby used to say, "N.C." (no class)

    Dating etiquette

    One time, I think somebody picked up my glass deliberately and drank from it. It was a weird factor. (And yes, I got a new glass.) I suspect he has my gloves, too. Back onto the topic of etiquette blunders, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned extreme cheapness. A friend of mine went on a...

    Where I dance, I'm sure we all end up picking up the wrong glass and drinking out of it. It's not really the yuck factor for me, but the arm's length factor.

    Me, too. And drinking from someone else's glass or eating from their plate is usually done only between intimates. If I were on a date with someone who did that, it would be our last date.

    Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question

    I wear a crushable hat in my car--no problem there. I need to find a way to pin up my hair in the summer without it interfering with the seat.

    Thirtysomething woes

    If this birthday gives you a kick in the pants to start doing the things you've wanted to do, all for the better. I went to Florida for my 30th birthday and had a great time. My 40th birthday is next year and I'm planning to go to Hawaii. You mentioned that you want to get married and...
