Congratulations Rod! Just be yourself and have loads of fun! Get your LISTENING EARS UP! Also, HONESTY is the best policy... Enjoy, glo Teach me your way, O LORD,and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

The LORD deeply blessed me with HIS presence in you; both in your mid-life hottie dancin AND then, oh my goodness your blog post. WHOA!!! THANK YOU for your tender courage to step up and display HIS heart's passion to all who will see. OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD! Looking forward to a full report on your date. Ummmm.... one question for ya, should this post qualify for the MIRACLE listing???  Love in Christ, melody.
| ||||
4/20/2006 6:20 am |
My advice to you is to break your of your clown suit and allow her to see the real person inside of it. (Please have some clothes on under it, though! LOL! I think you should show her the real person behind all of the laughter and silliness, the real Rod, the one we all got a glimpse of in your last post. Be blessed!
| ||||
4/20/2006 7:09 am |
Wear clean underwear. Don't stick anything up her nose. Don't play any tricks on her- torture her ( errr... I mean... break her)in slowly. Do show a little of your vulnerableness and some of that sweet handsome teddy bear that we got a glimpse of in your last blog. Be truthful Be yourself. Ahhhhh... scratch that!! Pretend you are in a play and your are playing a human being... there!- that's better!!!
| ||||
4/20/2006 7:19 am |
Well Mr Old Goat, trip trot over that bridge and meet your date with a smile. A smiles goes a long long way. Smile with your eyes, not just the mouth - women love smiley eyes - well I do anyway. Twinkle. Ruth
| ||||
4/20/2006 7:19 am |
lol yendor's got a date...good on ya...be your honest self with your sense of humour too...all the very best in meeting up for coffee...hope that it all works out for you....God bless!! Man can make many plans...BUT it is the Lord who will direct his paths....
| ||||
4/20/2006 7:20 am |
You don't look anything like an old goat btw.
| ||||
4/20/2006 7:23 am |
Mr (insert name) .. Firstly .. yes .. be YOU .. YOURSELF .. clown suit or not .. both are you right? Honesty is always good and if your nervous you can tell her that .. she mostly likely is too! That actually helps alot and go SLOW .. !! Just taking time to get to know each other .. talking just as you have on the phone or emails .. being real ya know .. and remember something .. if she is gonna 'like' you and you her .. its going to be for who you are .. not how you 'present' yourself .. though bathing will help .. muahaha psst YaY! for you and her!! .. Julia  pay NO attention to the man behind the curtain This message brought to you by the JustinCase Network, sponsor of the Foot n Mouth clubs of America, with your help we WILL find a cure

Use caution when the day comes with her or another 'hearing' Shes the ONE as you go down that road. Lots to give advise and lots of voices in the spirit realm. God will be original with you on something so sacred as person to person interaction. If your ready for dating or a relationship.. God will play it out and you'll just be comfortable for the sake of having a person to spend time with. I've never been a dater. I mean for real. I'll give as much light as I can. Being yourself is important. Remember to keep it light as simple as a coffee date can be. Christian or non.. Guard your heart till you have that KNOWING to open up to the next level. Being 'buddies' first will be one of the best parts of a relationship. It will give you something to fall back on when 'feelings' don't seem to be there. If your coming out of a relationship or marriage.. There is going to be a mix of muddy waters pouring out. The both of you need to allow grace to be in the mix till that which flows is clearer and you don't have to ask others for their advise.

Don't spill your coffee on her!
| ||||
4/20/2006 8:15 am |
Been doing some serious thinking here- Don't sneeze in her face- if you must sneeze- cover your mouth And remember, this is not a time for having a belching contest! (Well, at least not at the restaurant!) And to reiterate something you said- He who smelt it- dealt it--- don't do that either! No beans for you for the rest of the week! OH andddddd-- get all the beauty rest you can---do her that favor! 
| ||||
4/20/2006 8:17 am |
Don't spill your coffee on her! yendor2 replies on 4/20/2006 8:11 am: Do you think she sould Buy?.... OH brother!! We've got a LOT of work to do before Saturday!!
| ||||
4/20/2006 8:23 am |
I THOUGHT OF SOME MORE!! HAY! THIS IS FUN!! Don't walk thru the door till she opens it up for you Stand at the table till she pulls your chair out for you. Let her order for you. Make sure to ficticiously (like that word?)ask if you should have 1 lump or two- by that time I'm sure she will know that answer to that one! Make sure she laughs at all your jokes! Talk with your mouth full of food. Do the ole "sea food" joke. That's always a charmer!! See if she wants to pull your finger. That's a great ice-breaker! When the bill comes, make sure you hit the john right about that time. And last but not least (at least for now) If she says she will call you- make sure you get a specific time!!
| ||||
4/20/2006 10:49 am |
Congratulations! Brush your teeth, kiss her on the cheek and buy some flowers for the lady ... no, no , no, not red roses yet. Oh, almost forgot, clean, matching socks! Very, very important.

Hey Rodders,w You lucky old goat! In your home town. I have to wait until teleport is invented! I usually find that.. um...er... gee, my memory's not that good. So no advice from me. Mmm... how about... Talk about her -not your ex. Don't stare at her toupee and nose-wart. Switch off your phone. Don't buy any food that could 'dribble' That's it from me. Thanks for your advice to me. righthalfal

they say love is blind, but don't bring your guide dog with you
| ||||
4/20/2006 3:36 pm |
Don't forget to: Take a shower, scrub them pits, and do a smell check. Repeat if needed. Pluck any unsightly nose and ear hairs. Double check for boogers and ear-wax. Clean your nails and clip em. Brush and floss your teeth. Don't forget to gargle. Put on fresh cloths and not ones from the bottom of the hamper. Pick up the tab as a gentleman always pays.

I don't date that much anymore, but I do watch the TV shows Elimidate,Next and Dr Phil. So this is my two cents, based on what I have seen. DO Be yourself and have fun. Also make eye contact and smile. Act like you are interested in what she has to say and ask questions that encourage conversation, but are not too personal. DO NOT Do not stare inappropriately. Talk about sex! One guy I met started to talk about sex on the first date, and I got up and walked out. I was totally disgusted. Don't ask her how much money she makes! Don't brag about material posessions. Do not talk about all the things that bugged you about your ex-wife. Don't act desparate. Good luck and have fun

This is too halarious!! ... (lol) ... I can't give you any advice, since I haven't dated in awhile, but I CAN say that this is one of the funniest posts I've seen in awhile. Love the advice!!! Anyway, be blessed, brother, and have fun!!

Be careful or you'll give us all a bad rap. 
| ||||
4/21/2006 8:55 am |
hmmmmmmmmmm, so i guess our impending marriage is on hold then?? have fun...be yourself
| ||||
4/21/2006 9:40 am |
Ok Rod.......if it doesn't work out, swing by Oregon and take me out for coffee, will you?
| ||||
4/21/2006 5:28 pm |
Awwwwhhhhh, I am so happy for you. Enjoy the good company you have already come to know. Coffee meetings are wonderful. I've had many of them myself. Let us know how it goes.... The big sign
| ||||
4/21/2006 6:43 pm |
Hmmm... is this why I've encountered silence in the upper room? Rod, it is wisdom that seeks counsel; I believe you are well equipped for making such decisions. I'm sure some here will be at your side in prayer. Hebrews 5:8 Matthew 11:6

| ||||
4/22/2006 1:55 am |
Dude that's great news! Glad to hear it! Can't see anything I could add here... hmmm...nose wax, check. ears shaved, check beard combed, check hair flossed, check pits are brushed, check teeth are smelled, check nope, don't see anything to add....but I don't know maybe I got something mixed up.  Best wishes,  Mike

HELLO ROD! I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING, TALKING TO YOUR NEW FRIEND! GBU MARCOS

4/22/2006 2:06 pm |
Hey BC People let me say this post has been one of the most fun I've had... I was hoping you guy's would have some fun picking on me... because you know I'd have a lot of fun picking on all of you... Well the gal I was meeting tonight called me this afternoon and canceled for tonight....  ...so the big date night was a crash and burn... she said that she was getting a cold and wanted to cancel and maybe make it again for next week.... and she REALLY did sound sick over the phone... so we'll see maybe next week... I'll let all my BC friends know..God Bless you all... Rod P.S. I sure am glad I didn't waste any money on the fresh pair of underwear.... Life is too short so Lighten Up a bit...
| ||||
4/22/2006 2:51 pm |
What can I add? There are so many great pieces (albeit demented) of advice, how can I top that? Look deeply into her eyes. Don't blink (don't fart, either!), and just imagine that face on a pillow next to your's, for the rest of your life. If that isn't something you can visualize, you may have found a great coffee buddy, but who knows beyond that? If you can see it, however, than I would say this might be the one.... -Danny
| ||||
4/22/2006 3:22 pm |
awwwwwwww, rodney. after all that build up. hope she gets well soon and that you guys have a blast next weekend.
| ||||
4/22/2006 10:54 pm |
Whew...that was a close one...huh? It's always good to practice though. They say practice makes perfect. My advice, practice smiling in the mirror to make sure the teeth got flossed right! You never know when you might have to smile at her.
| ||||
4/23/2006 5:29 am |
Play nice, and keep at least 3 feet between you at all times, just in case others may see you. Smile a lot and nod your head in agreement, even if you can not understand a thing she is trying to tell you. Act sincere and be sure to offer to pay.

4/23/2006 12:05 pm |
Well Rod... Keep rehearsing the advice you've received from friends. When the right time comes, it would be smooth sailing from there! Enjoy the moment... glo Teach me your way, O LORD,and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever. (Psalm 86:11,12)
| ||||
4/23/2006 2:25 pm |
Hi Bro, sounds great,you will make it,thats for sure. Wish you all the best.
| ||||
4/23/2006 6:03 pm |
Well, it is Sunday, are you going to tell all.............. We hope not, and we all hope you had a wonderful time!!!!! Blessing Rod, life starts all over again, have fun, enjoy and think! You have experience, it's just a little rusty-but with all this great advice- you did fine. Yesterday is past and gone, but tomorrow is forever.
| ||||
4/23/2006 8:42 pm |
Oh my gosh! This is so funny! honk honk I don't believe I can add one thing. They've said it all. Now all you have to do is sort through the ones that you need to work on before Saturday. Pray this week about being a gentleman. And have a good time.

4/24/2006 2:29 pm |
Me thinks 'The1Firecracker' has it all covered!! hehehe what a riot! Have an AWESOME time! Hugs, Sue

4/24/2006 2:32 pm |
Wow, how exciting! I had a date a month ago. We met for coffee. I was hoping for a cake but he didn't offer. It was a noisy coffee bar so I couldn't hear him and had to lean in. Alas he had body odour and was training his thining hair to get it vertical. I'm sure you're not like that but my advice is 'be clean'! We didn't meet again but not for that reason.
| ||||
4/25/2006 1:01 pm |
Does this mean I still have a chance???????????????
| ||||
4/26/2006 1:03 pm |
Dunno, how do you look in your skivvies?
| ||||
4/26/2006 1:37 pm |
Rod, find out as much as you can about her, makes sure you always appear to be attentive to her and her only. Dont be quick to point out any flaws in her logic. People get defensive when thier logic is attacked. I hope shes driving, cause I cant focus on driving when a girl is hungry for my attention. Its like I go into a trance or something.
| ||||
4/26/2006 1:57 pm |
first dates are always sketchy, next time make more ellaborate plans, dont say yeah lets do something 5 days from now, nono. Make sure plans are made before date is set, never the other way around. When the date is set first, people always bail. sucks for you she used such a sorry excuse on you. You should still shower her with attention anyway, and tell her how sexy she sounds when shes 'sick'. lol, that would really show her!
| ||||
4/27/2006 10:20 am |
Be yourself....
| ||||
4/28/2006 1:13 pm |
well Rod, the "next weekend" is here...any plans? Is she better? Date advice...hmmm...how about don't pick your teeth at the table, don't pick your nose at the table, don't ask her how much she weighs, don't stare if she has acne, don't point out acne, compliment her on how nice she looks even if she looks like she slept in her clothes...and last but not least...relax, it's just coffee... WLIC, Sabrina Blessings in His awesome & precious name! - Sabrina   
| ||||
4/29/2006 7:07 am |
Hello Rod. I just wanted to wish you good luck on your coffee date. The only advice I have right now is just be yourself,listen well,and be patient. God bless you.
| ||||
4/29/2006 8:50 pm |
The Date Is Over ...and I survived.. lol don't know why but the closer it got to the time for the date the more nervous I got... like a punk kid.. lol I think it went well and with all of what has been going on here on BC I thought I'd ask her to marry me....NOT... lol I really did enjoy her company she was very easy to talk to... and we talk about everything.. I think we will go out again but not sure if it will leed to anything... my divorce still stings... so friends for now is fine with me.. Life is too short so Lighten Up a bit...
| ||||
4/30/2006 9:51 am |
Congratulations on having a good time YES! Let the sting wear off you need to process and heal make room in your heart for "her." God bless you, man!! Mom
| ||||
4/30/2006 5:51 pm |
Yeah! Glad it went well for you. I take it she enjoyed herself also? hehe! I wondered why my half brain was in a good mood this evening! Al
| ||||
4/30/2006 8:54 pm |

| ||||
5/9/2006 6:11 pm |

| ||||
5/9/2006 9:10 pm |
It's been about 10 days now. Is there anything can you share with us how your feelings may have changed since before your date? Huh huh huh???  Hebrews 5:8 Matthew 11:6
