Ok Brooklyn Potter.
I'm available for an hour (possibly more) of park sitting one day in the early evening this week. I will bring at least one hour of witty repartee, and a cute dog, who will pick up the slack if it turns out my repartee is not as witty as I think.
Picture available, picture requested. Picture of the dog negotiable. PM for details.
Time to walk said dog now. -

I'm pretty into my running, but the few ultimate players (or disc as they call it) are very obsessive, very competitive. Oddly, the two players I've known best, one is very high strung, the other is as laid back as they get. -
athletes scare me.
I have a bum back so I do pilates for strength. beyond that, a stroll to white castle at 3 a.m. is about as athletic as I get. -

the soccer and ultimate players are not the same beast
do you feel the same about soccer players?
if you wanna infiltrate the dog owning community
then offer a friend/neighbor with a dog to walk him/her to the park a couple of times
it's real easy to start a conversation when you've got a dog as a buffer
and you can start the dog rap :P
1. what breed of dog do you have?
2. is it neutered?
3. is it a rescue?
4. what's it's name?
5. they are bred for?
6. don't you hate it when they throw you off your bed?
7. i hear they have hip problems
8. do you give it clucosamine?
9. park slope food cop has it!
10. where is your vet? -
i'm fine with soccer players; i'm just DONE with ultimate players.
dogs... sigh. i wish i could have a dog. but i have a cat who doesn't like friends. ergo, no dog. (and yes, i've borrowed friend's dogs. )
really, other than steve--we should talk--i don't think there are any other single men in the slope whom i haven't dated. and hell, i might have already had a blind date with steve.. are you the shrink who made me cry at barbes? the photographer who met me at 12th street and told me how he went to college at the school of "hard knocks"? the one who flirted with the waitress after 5 minutes, telling her i was his sister?

I'd vote to change "Same Sex Partner" to "Domestic Partner". I'm a resident of 6+ years (3 in WT, 3 in PS, and currently 5 months in PH), and have none of the above. However; I do have a hetero husband and a cat. I'd imagine that has to count for something.

Anyway, I am neither a shrink nor have I attended the college of hard knocks. I can't imagine doing the sister thing either, that's rough.
I haven't had many first dates that I remember as being that awful. Usually, they're just degrees of boring, unless they are not. About a month ago I met some girl on the subway, and we agreed to meet for a drink and then she didn't have a drink, and I though that was just awful. It was like she shredded the whole social contract. Society's going to hell in a handbasket. Back when I went to the school of hard knocks... -
Hey all, Im a single male new to the area and was just wondering what bars, clubs, restaurants, etc in the area is the best place to meet single women?
Even though I've hung up my single dating shoes for a while, here's a sure fire way to meet a girl in Park Slope/Prospect Heights:
1. Go to the Brooklyn museum during a first Saturday event. There are tons of them there. You don't even have to dance. Strike up a convo and hatch a plan to hit a local bar afterwards.
2a. Hit a local bar on first Saturday with or without a lady in tow, and make that bar Soda, or any spot on 5th ave.
2b. Even better, go to Southpaw on first Saturday. Women go there with the express intent on getting drunk and leaving with a guy. Again, you don't even have to dance, but if you do, it raises your chances to the 95% range.
3. Go to the park and give quick glances at every girl you find cute, go home, and keep checking Missed Connections on craigslist. You're bound to see a post for you, especially if you did something wacky like tie a pink sock around your head.
4. Try it all again and again. -

while i may be a single woman who can't seem to find a date outside this laptop, lift and cut... you're playing it all wrong.
well, depends... do you want to meet a 25 year old girl? if so, follow lift and cut's advice. seriously. you'll do fabulously.
as for those of us in that next generation, i've tried the museum (mom's with kids, 25 year old boys; i've never tried those bars... because i'm not 25.
here are some places the women i know (except me) have found dates:
--12th street bar
--tea-lounge
--in the park on aforementioned blanket
--monday night movies in bryant park
--9th street C-town
--ozzie's
good luck![/list] -

Okay, okay, duke seemed like he needed a quick fix so I was just giving him the best chances of landing a piece of tail. However, while I can't necessarily reccomend the places you put out there, I can say this: whether you meet someone through a friend, at a bar, at a party, at a museum, a park or on the street, just be yourself and talk to the woman like she's a human, and not someone you want to give the 'ol saucisson too. Women around here tend to be friendly and up for real conversation (start reading the New York Times, dude). The online thing works well too. You know what, maybe brooklynpotter and newsloper shoud meet, while we're on the subject. Cheers! -

ozzie's is nice. but it's kinda outta the way -
Ozzie's is doo-doo. Who the heck goes to a coffee shop to meet people?

Subject: tea lounge
i'm not a lesbian, and i go to the tea lounge. and i've actually seen actual men at the tea lounge... not that they talk to me. (really, i swear, i'm adorable. i am!)
--a -
Okay, well maybe someone will have to go to Tea Lounge and investigate your claims of being adorable, and report back. Of course, that person probably would not know who to look for. I've never been to Tea Lounge but I don't know if I would ever go.
-
anyone who wants to see what i look like can go to my website. but it's too hot to even think about walking to the tea lounge; working from home in the AC

If you're looking for anonymity, you might want to remove the link in your profile that includes your business, address, phone #, email, and link to your blog. Your screen name is really the least of it! :P -

we're all... a little lesbian..... :shock: -
a PAIR of lucky brand jeans. A PAIR.
not butts. silly boy -
Yep, you are pretty diggity-darn adorable, I have to say.
-
Subject: see?
i'm not being conceited, not saying i'm gorgeous or that i turn heads... but yes, adorable. and not insane or completely screwed up... so why can't a girl over 35 get a date in this town? -
It's not that hard. I'm 34 and I've dated plenty of women your age. Maybe you're not looking in the right places. I'm sure with the scores of BBQs and parties this summer, you'll meet your prince charming. I'll send a dating blessing your way.
-
don't know... i've had plenty of seemingly charming men turn ashen when they hear that i'm 40. then again, i get ashen when i think i'm 40. i SO do not feel 40.
-
That sux. Well it's all about how you feel. I'm pretty much a nincompoop at 34, so it's all in the miind.

I know, it sucks, right? I am about to turn 40 and not sure how this happened.
No one mentioned Barnes & Noble -- I've always thought that would be a good place to try to meet someone.
Howdy, Stranger!
