Okay, now if I did that everytime things got a bit rough, I'd be inebriated 80% of the time. I confess, I'm not much of a drinker (not with at least one parent being an alcoholic) but when I do go out, I like to have a good time and find a drink that tastes so good that I let loose a bit and let my internal filter go on break for awhile. Tonight was one of those nights.
A group of us from work got together just to hang out, and let me tell ya, the martinis were flowing like water. Top them off with some yummy appetizers - spicy calamari and loaded potato skins - and you've got yourself a good time. Add a little eye candy (aka a former co-worker who's now a cop), some trashy gossip and lots of innuendo, and you've got yourself a damn fine party. Getting to sit next to said eye candy? Even better. 'Course the guy's a former player who has been married for the last two years, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying the scenery.
Which is all I would have done anyway. If V were single, and in the unlikely event showed any actual interest in me, there would be no way I'd date a guy like that. I know I couldn't be with someone who's always looking for the next conquest. Some women can do it, I just don't happen to be one of them. I guess a player is really just a modern-day rake, and while they supposedly make the best husbands, in reality I don't think it's quite that simple, or as romantic. That's too bad, because reforming a rake sounds like an awful lot of fun.
Ever date a player?
Good times, or nothing but a nightmare?
Do you think they can reform and settle on one woman,
or once a player, always a player?

Nope, never dated a player.
bySounds like a WONDERFUL time.
In books they settle for one love for all time and make a great hero, but in real life the cynical side of me says once a player, always a player.
Look at the Hollywood and sports scenes- those are Players with a capital P. A-Rod and Madonna? Can these people just be happy with one person without feeling the need to cause upheaval for their kids and families every few years?
byI am so glad I have a nice stable hubby and marriage.
On the other hand, they are fun to flirt with. I do know a bunch of people who would qualify. And all the single guys who can't find someone decent to date.
Yeah Kristie, I feel the same. I could never completely trust the guy.
byEv, the excitement sure wouldn't be worth all the pain. Glad you have a happy marriage. To me, that would be way more important than trying to hold on to a player. And there's nothing wrong with flirting. Believe it or not, quiet little me can hold her own when it comes to that LOL. Not that I'm a huge flirt, but I do indulge on occasion.
Players? Yes. I've dated them. It never ends well. At least for me.
byI dated a guy once who, I swear, flirted with every woman he met. EVERY ONE. It used to drive me a little crazy. Thing is though, he was southern, and for whatever reason, I truly think he didn't realize that he was being so flirty, it was just ingrained in him. It made me NUTS!
So glad you had a good time. Wish I could have been there :)
byNo players for me. I found the right guy when we were young.
I've dated a few men who thought they were players and they weren't. LOL
byI am all for the eye candy and wouldn't mind flirting with a player, but as for dating them? Nah.
Nope, never dated a player and never will. Although I dated a lying, scheming, cheating, snake-in-the-grass once.
