groannnn here we go again! http://www.okctalk.com/images/Smailies%2001-28-08/doh.gif


Soo... looking at the calendar and wondering if you will be in town the weekend of the 27-28th Leon? If so would one of those nights be good for you for something? Would others be able to do something then? As far as I know now the only commitment I have for that weekend is to work some of the Friends of the Library book sale at the Moore Public Library (little plug there...) :Smiley220

Well I do not mean to rain on everyone’s parade but, I do not think it will be possible to have a high attendance at any of the singles functions.



Everyone on here works a busy schedule, has a busy schedule with their children, or has work and school like myself.



I am free this weekend only because it is slow at work and class does not start again until Tuesday.



Therefore, here is what I purpose. I think everyone that can should try to find a time to get together this weekend. We can plan to do one of these singles functions once a month and pick different days and locations to have them on each month.



Then maybe by the luck of the draw everyone will have a chance to attend one.



What do you guys think?

I'd love to go the weekend you've suggested, kellekokid.

It's really funny...I rarely have plans, and of course he picks the one day I've got something scheduled.

It looks like that I also will be available that weekend kelleokid mentioned.

There's at least 3 for that weekend.


:congrats:

I, of course, am currently jobless, so unless that status changes, count me in... pretty much any weekend! But, I will have a job soon! :~P

I'll be flying back from Los Angeles that Friday, but I should easily make it back in plenty of time to do something on Friday and definately Saturday.

This Friday and Saturday are still good also.

It's the hot and bothered right before you start getting sick, isn't it? Yeah, I feel ya, sister.

didn't that one guy call it a "skull-et"?? ahh the memories of that manly style~~

Ewww...That's right. b/c it didn't start until the back of his head! YUCK!

ya know when it gets to that...it would be so much nicer if they just shaved it all off or cut it real close. Straggly and stringy= soooo sexy! Oh wait umm no, that would be a no!!

Clarification: Y'all are freaky! :)

aaah but you didn't see that skullet now that was freaky! lol

Hey, the boat show is happening this weekend!....All weekend. It's free.

Where did you see something about a boat show this weekend? Just tried google and couldn't find anything.

It was last weekend, gbyte.

ah, had to check :)

I want to learn to dance.

Me too! But you don't have to have an so to go to dance lessons, right??? ;~)

Assuming you mean a significant other (Someone to go with you), I do not know, but surely there are classes where singles go---I am not single, but my wife shows no interest in learning to dance; I guess that (Wife's not being interested.)is why I have not actively pursued finding some classes to take.

Have you looked into it at all?

hmmmmm :bright_id are there any OKC Talk members who know enough about dancing to hold some classes? It could even be called a meet and greet and have classes too?

I got to thinking about this post, and I guess we marrieds do not have SO's in certain aspects, yet we are not allowed to have a surrogate like in the arena of learning to dance.

All you who want to say here that if the SO does not want to do something that we should not want to either---remember, we are all individuals, and each of us has his or her own desires separate and apart from the SO.

Well I looked up some stuff and yahoo seems to have a directory of dance studios / etc :P

http://local.yahoo.com/OK/Oklahoma+City/7737221/Entertainment+and+Arts/8105026/Dance+Studios/

Well.. what if the person was a trusted friend of yourspouse's that wanted to learn to dance? Do you think a spouse would go for that? But then again there's still the going out to dance after the lessons... hmmm..

I guess maybe if you showed your spouse how much something like that meant to you (if it does), then eventually she/he might go along for the ride just to see you smile (so to speak). Maybe the spouse if afraid of doing whatever it is you are interested in, so it would be worth talking about it to your spouse or SO (in the single's case) just see if there was something more than just "no interest".

I haven't looked into lessons, yet, but they do advertise dance makers during "dancing with the stars". I have to find a job, first, but any ideas from everyone would be great!

Help!! Clarification for the ignorant please, what does so mean?

Significant Other. Oftentimes seen as SO or s/o. :D

Hey! Has noone seen "Shall we Dance" (i think that's the movie) with Richard Gere? There's the ideal! ;) Though we must remember that his wife being okay with it WAS in the script. :D

I saw the movie---He starred with J LO. But he was hiding the fact he was going to dance lessons from his wife for some reason, and it surely would not be because knew he would become sweet on J LO.

Yes, I am sure things can and do happen between people dancing, but let's face it, if OSUPA and I were SO's in learning to dance, not knowing for sure OSUPA's age, still I am sure the age difference would make it impossible for either of us to think of doing anything except dancing. No Offense meant, OSUPA; I just selected you because u said u want to learn to dance too.

I saw that ad back on the other airing of the dancing with the Stars, but I never followed up. My wife would never go anyway.

I've always wanted to take dance lessons. I love to dance and to learn the different types like swing or ballroom would be so much fun. I have called a few of the dance studios near OKC and the prices are pretty reasonable. Unfortunately my husband is a very very jealous man and would never go for it. : ( Unless I could talk him in to doing it with me!

Where did you see something about a boat show this weekend? Just tried google and couldn't find anything.

It was a TV ad....said it was a free one. Others make you pay admission.

Rhinestone Cowboy, SE 59th st.
Dance lessons every Wednesday.
Call first to be sure they still have them.

All you who want to say here that if the SO does not want to do something that we should not want to either---remember, we are all individuals, and each of us has his or her own desires separate and apart from the SO.

I'm with you on this. I can understand not wanting you to go dancing with other women but my X took very much farther and destroyed our marriage. I was the proverbial animal that chewed his leg off to get out of that trap.

Good idea....take her with you, I'll bet she begins to want to dance.

No offense taken, Oki! I would definitely be willing to to take lessons at the same time as other people that I "knew"... I still think that you should really ask your wife why she won't take them with you, or at least come and observe sometime. If we could get some more people interested and then sign up for the same night (yeah, I know, we can't even have hardly one event, let alone a "series" of events very easily), but it would take some pressure off. I'm sure there's more than one single person (or married person alone) at the lessons! Even if the only single guy is the twelve year old whose mom forced him to take them!! :Smiley259

When you have been with your mate as long as wife and I have been together, you learn what the other will and will not go for.

Actually, tho, wife has changed a bit in the past couple of years (to the better, in my opinion LOL); it came to the point where it was almost a make-or-break deal if you know what I mean---get out the toys, and use your imagination.

Goddess' husband is too jealous for her to go learn to dance; one thing about wife and me, I cannot remember either of us ever being or at least showing signs of being jealous. Course too, neither of us has given the other reason to show jealousy either---we live such a hum-drum life that it is pathetic.

So you singles who are sitting home alone on Saturday night take note of the above.

Well! She is a school teacher of wee-bity kiddos, so she is always worn out after a day at school---can u think of a better excuse? LOL

Me, I quit working except on my projects and a bit now and then mostly when I want to---LOL Living off my abundant wealth; yeah! Right. But too, I get really tired too after I have a "good" day, so maybe I am blaming her when it is me too, but she won't go anyway. Maybe one day.

Another thing I want to do---I want to learn to play a trumpet; any trumpet players out there?

I used to but ended up playing the baritone (e flat euphonium) instead. Got questions about it?

I was a trumpet player in my "former" life (aka teen years), but sold my beautiful instrument a few years ago. Okiman if you're wanting to play trumpet, why don't you take some lessons?

Just like with learning to dance, I have so many things I want to do that I have put off because there is just so much time in a day, but tapering off from working---mostly just doing whatever I want to do, but I have commitments too that I must take care of---I think I may in short time from now have time to do some of them.

SweetDaisy, could you play it pretty good; was it gold or silver in plating color?

LOL If I take dance lessons, I will probably be like P. Miller on this season's "Dancing with the Stars." With whom could I be compared at playing the triumpet---he or she must be incompetent at it for me to compare? LOL

Back to topic please.

Does anyone have any new suggestions on things for singles to do in Oklahoma City?

Dang! I thought learning to dance and play the trumpet were things singles could do in Oklahoma City.

My apologies for going off topic.

By the way, what type activities are you meaning, Jay?

Learning to dance would be a fun date activity. A music lesson could also be fun, if both parties were willing to hear how untalented their date is. :D

Well! I am about as untalented as they come.

to tell you the truth there's all sorts of just "normal" activities or just random things to do that some people like on dates

for example one time there was a girl I knew who kind of liked "exploring" so on a date she and her bf went to a part of town they had never been and just drove/walked around looking around at the places there and found some interesting places

but for more "traditional" response you have all sorts of stuff:

comedy clubs
other clubs/bars
perhaps a mid-day date for an hour of shopping/food and then a movie
going to bricktown area and walking around
musuems/memorials
concerts/festivals
go to some other town in area and check out their downtown area (for example go to norman/guthrie/etc)
golf (mini, 9-hole, or full round) / driving range
a introductory class for something (like clay molding/martial art/dancing/etc)
sports game (doesn't even have to be Blazers/Hornets)


for warmer days:
hanging out at lake hefner (using the parafoil/kite/etc)
renting some seadoos for lake arcadia
hiking/dirt biking trails
skate park/skating (roller/ice)


sometimes the simplest things can also be used as dates (or can become dates unexpectedly) :P



Oh and Oki Man....if ya ever want to learn how to play / read sheet music I can try to find some good sites on the internet to help at some point in time but remember to play any instrument it takes alot of practice to learn how to do it good :)

Sounds like you know what you are talking about---Hey, is the trumpet the instrument that the "bugler" plays "Taps" on at a Military Funeral. I guess you can tell just how much I know about Music from that Q---The bugler probably plays Taps on a bugle?

If I am right about the bugle, where might a guy find a bugle?

But I still want to learn to play the Trumpet.

Well you can probably find a bugle which is similar to a trumpet except that it has no valves to distort the sound (i.e. change notes) and you can only play a single note on different octaves (basically the same note only higher or lower sounding).

Right here off of NW 63rd and NW Expy is Larsen Music which is where I used to have to go when I was in high school band for supplies.

Hey,
There are group lessons for West Coast Swing,as well as ballroom, and country dance lessons at the Okc Swing Dance Club, NW 50th and Meridian. It's non-profit so its CHEAP!!! You can go as a single or couple, in group lessons you get passed around the room. This way you learn with others as well as your husband. (And he gets to hold a different woman in his arms every 3 minutes with your approval!) It's a Dance Club NOT a pick up!! Loads of fun, good exercise and you go away with something the two of you can share at home practicing and out in public for years to come. Give them a call or check out their website: okcswingdanceclub.com
Happy Dancing!! jo

I took my wife (girlfriend at the time) out for flying lessons once. Try it. An hour lesson will usually run you anywhere from $60 to $100 and your date will never forget the experience. I recommend maybe having a little picnic prepared for afterwards.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but why not give OKCRocks a try? It's ironic I'm posting this the night before Valentine's Day. Get your appointments in fast. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Ever thought about frisbie golf for a first date? A friend told me that, its where he took his wife for their first date. Anyway, you could make a day of it. Most of the courses are already in parks, all you have to do is bring a picnic lunch with you.

How about night golf at the par three course on I-44
