What should I do about this dating situation?

Congrats–seems like things went fairly well.

So, come on…now you’ve gotta tell us. What is your sign?

I like the idea of running your dating life by votes on a forum. Come back when you need an election to see if an erection should be had.

I had a one in twelve chance, and hit it!

No you didn’t, better luck next week.

We met for the first time tonight. She’s attractive, lively, and funny. Over dinner we finally got around to the subject of astrology. While she admitted that should couldn’t see how it could possibly work at a physical level, she has had some persuasive experiences with two astrologers. I was gratified to see she was not uncritically accepting of it, and that she doesn’t believe in psychics or other aspects of the paranormal.

We had an interesting conversation and I did my best not to seem arrogant or intolerant. We were both able to open up with some relatively personal things, so I think we felt comfortable with each other. We have our differences, but we got along well enough that it’s certainly worth getting to know her a little better.

So…in retrospect…#4 was the correct and most acceptable option, and I saw only four posters recommending this option. But when #5 is also an option, just about any guy is gonna give you that as THE ONLY OPTION.

Are we losing our touch or are we just having too much fun with commasense’s anticipation of a blind date going awry?

When I was in my teens I saw a gorgeous girl looking through books about astrology in my local library,on the pretext of being helpful and knowledgable about astrology I went over and helped her select a book on the subject faking it like mad .

We met up a few times and I mugged up on astrology so that I could talk the talk and we ended up going out with each other .
Eventually I confessed that I had no interest in the topic whatsoever and it had all been a ruse to get to know her .

On hearing my confession she owned up to likewise having no interest in astrology herself,it turned out that she’d been looking for a book for her brother but she thought that I was cute so had pretended an interest in it so thay we would keep seeing each other.

And before you ask ,no she did not become my wife and we haven’t been together for 20 years but we did have a very pleasant few months together before drifting apart.

But that apart if you have decided to go a seperate way from this girl why not tell her that Mars was ascendant in Scorpio when you were born and as such her being a Libran or what ever ,that theres no future in it for the two of you or some sort of similar bollicks and let her off the hook gently.

Years ago I was given a book on astrology - it said that if someone refuses to tell you their star sign, they’re probably a Scorpio (obviously this wouldn’t work for you.)
At a party, someone brought up the whole star sign thing and a guy I rather fancied would not give his date of birth, so I said “You’re a Scorpio”.
He was.
Then he kept giving me weird looks all night because he couldn’t work out how I knew. No sex there. Too freaked.

And I still don’t believe in it.
