Weeeeeeeeeeeee're Back!

Get ready for the all new episodes of
The Dating Game

Never before has a forum tried such a strange series of events
but we're not just any forum.

Watch KB to bring out the best... and the worst in our three contestants

The game begins with the first question.
Anyone not playing the game should use the commentary thread here

[KB.]

First question: If your life was a movie what would be the song played during the love scene?

[contestant3]

For the soft romantic love scene, I would choose Santana's and Rob Thomas' "Smooth."

For the torrid, earthrocking, mad and passionate love scene, that's easy. It would be Stone Temple Pilots' "Sex Type Thing."

[KB.]

Ok, just for the sake of expediency; here are questions two through five.

Question2: What is more important to you personally in a relationship; a long term relationship, physical or mental attraction? Explain the reason. You can answer outside of the box here, if you feel the need or desire to do so.

Question 3: Plan a dinner party, invite 6-12 people from history, recent or long since passed. Name those people, and what the main course would be. If you feel like going through the effort tell me how you would seat them.

Question 4: I know a woman who has a saying; “If a man were a comma I would marry him”. I have my own; “If a woman were a sentence fragment I would marry her”. What form of punctuation would you marry if it were a man/woman? Tell me why as well.

Question 5: Ask me a question, no holds barred. I may not answer the question; probably won’t, but that isn’t the point.

I would suggest "Tiny Dancer" by Sir Elton John.

Physical attraction is important as well as the mental attraction. The mental attraction is more stimulating for the mind and keeping ones interests in the forefront is very important. Physical attraction is important in order to keep the sex life active and interesting. Seems to me if we have the full circle of trust, security, happiness, honesty and love, relationships have pretty good chances of surviving.

Mental attraction. If you turn my mind on...the rest will follow. If I find you mentally attractive, you're going to automatically look good to me. Sure physical attraction counts for something, but what's attractive to others isn't necessarily so to me. Besides, if we stay together, we're going to be old one day and we'll need a lot more than beautiful bodies to keep us entertained.

Marie Curie
Nikola Tesla
Edgar allan Poe

The meal would be a spread that would hopefully have enough to please all of them. Chicken Kiev, Chicken Marsala, beef roast, baked halibut, twice-stuffed potatoes, potatoes au gratin, green bean casserole, onion pie, cheese manicotti,French onion soup in an antique tureen with croutons for all, crudite, brown sugared carrots, a few extra vegetarian casseroles and more side dishes, and hot crusty bread with real butter. Dessert would be baked apples, creme brulee, bananas Foster and raspberry sherbet. I would have a red and a white wine available as well as sparkling cider and lemon water for anyone who didn't want to drink, although with my guest list, I doubt that'd happen.

I don't believe in seating people even though it's proper etiquette. They would know after Hors 'doerves who they wanted to sit with. People gravitate to people they're interested in, so I'd let them click without my help.
Dinner and the evening would be leisurely and I would have room for anyone who wanted to remain overnight.


Question 4: I know a woman who has a saying; “If a man were a comma I would marry him”. I have my own; “If a woman were a sentence fragment I would marry her”. What form of punctuation would you marry if it were a man/woman? Tell me why as well.

He would be an ampersand. (&) That's my all -time favorite position. Also because I like a man who's a bit of a puzzle and sometimes needs untangling. But I'd be willing to try a tilde (~) or even the @ symbol. But no semicolons!!

Question 5: Ask me a question, no holds barred. I may not answer the question; probably won’t, but that isn’t the point.

I'll ask you two because I'm that kind of woman.

Where have you had your most amazing sexual experience....and what has been the stand-alone thing that has helped make you the man you are right now?

Mental attraction is a vital element for a lasting relationship. Physical aspects fade but your intelligence grows as you age together and experience life.
