No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I posted a thread here 2 weeks ago, wondering if i'd messed things up with this guy that i've come to know through Sports practice. Well last night, he kind of asked me out and asked for my number

We had a baminton tournament last night with another group of badminton players (who i didn't know) and so i didn't really see him all night because i wasn't playing on his team. But we did say hi, and had a bit of conversation before the start. then towards the end of the night we played a single's match together and i think i flirted a lot (i can never tell), and then afterwards i was so tired that i wanted to go home. But i hung around a bit ( i took a long time to get my coat on ) hoping that he would ask me if we wanted to go out for a drink again or something. Anyway we started talking and we got talking about that night 2 weeks ago that we went out, and we both said we enjoyed it, and so he said "we'll have to do it again sometime - you'll have to give me your number and we can sort it out". But neither of us had a pen (so typical!) so he said that he'd walk me to the Reception (of the Sports centre) and get a pen from there....so we did that and i gave him my number and he said he'd show me some nice places in the town where he lives, and that i can show him some cool places in the city (where i live). The i told him that i'd be in college (which is in the town where he lives) for a few days each week so he gave me his number so that i could let him know when i'm there and we coudl meet up

i know that nothing concrete has been planned yet, but we will go out sometime in the next 2 weeks. i'm very happy that he asked again, although now i'm really scared! I've not been out on many dates, and i've never been out with an older guy, so i feel like a complete beginner! But i am very excited as well yay

Awesome news!!! The only advice I'd offer...and it's something I've got to constantly remind myself to do...just be yourself! As long as you just be yourself and not worry about trying meet anyone's expectations then no one's being led on and there aren't any rude surprises later on down the road.

I have only dated once but my advice is don't rush into things. Be friends first and foremost. Try to get to know each other one step at a time. And have a wonderful time. God bless you my friend.

hey, thanks for all the encouragement, it really uplifted me. we're going out for a meal - which has made me even more scared as i have never been out for a meal on a date before - i'm now paranoid that i'm going to spill something down me or get something stuck in my teeth! But it's is definitely nice to have someone treat me - for the first time in my life, so i am looking forward to it also
