So from April 11th through April 17th, I will be available for social dates only.
SOCIAL DATE - $200 PER HOUR
Please understand that this type of date will not begin nor conclude intimately, lots of juicy and heavy making-out is aloud though. Who knows, maybe we'll hit it off and take it to the next level next time you know? Screening is still required.
Anyway, so I was thinking... Would any of you boys like to join me to:
Fall Out Boy with 50 Cent Concert
Where: Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie
Day: Fri, Apr 17, 2009
Showtime: 6:30 PM (I don't know how long it will last, perhaps 2 hours? so please be prepared with some extra cash)
The tickets are on me, but I will need a deposit equivalent to the price of the tickets, just in case you can't make it and leave me stranded with an extra ticket. It will be applied to my above fee though.
So what do you guys think? Something different right? Think about it and let me know...
XOXO,
Nina Moretti
Mo'Nique
Where: Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie
Day: Sat, Apr 11, 2009
Showtime: 8:00 PM
Mo'Nique's career began at the age of 16 in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. She took the stage for the first time on a dare and never looked back. Since then, she's gained popularity with appearances on Showtime at the Apollo, HBO's Def Comedy Jam, Apollo Comedy Hour, HBO's Snaps, BET's Comic View, as well as performing at The Montreal Comedy Festival and Uptown Comedy Club. Her bold and sarcastic style earned her a spot in the stand-up comedy film and live tour in The Queens of Comedy, which earned her a Grammy nomination. She also had a starring role on the hit UPN series, The Parkers, which earned her four NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series.

Nina,
My friend told me about this post, and I'll be honest: we were laughing about it a bit, you know how guys are. "So you go to this concert, there's no BCD, you do two, maybe three hours, but drinks and parking and a T-shirt or two, and POOF. The date's OVER?!"
But that's not a fair assumption; I mean, you DID say that making out is okay, and that's GOT to be fun with a gorgeous woman such as yourself! And at an all-star, big city event such as either of these, I can think of a lot of benefit that any gentleman would find in just the experience, especially if dinner after the show were included, y'knkow?
I'll add (and hope you don't hate me, this is all tongue-in-cheek), though, that the artists listed are not ones that I'd necessarily seek out, y'know...what about the Doobies, or Steely Dan? Have you got a classic American Rock bone in there, Nina? I'm curious, because the Dan IS playing Dallas this year...
And I'll close with kudos and admiration, because I still believe that the "straight Social" is a VERY innovative and attractive date-night package, for the right man. Who could resist you, mon a mie?
Okay,
Bobbo
Bobo: maybe you should have sent Nina a PM instead. And you're tipping your hand by mentioning the Doobies & Steely Dan--they're both geezer bands, and Nina is still in her twenties.
If I lived in Dallas I would take her. --z
Thank you Zangari, you're really so very sweet...
It's okay, I'm up for criticism as much as I am for compliments. It makes you think more (or me anyway), modify or adjust the ideas, try again and come back with something better. That's what it's all about, listen, take notes, learn and succeed... MMmh! I like that.
But I have to agree with Zangari about the whole Doobies & Steely Dan, Bobbo I don't know who those people are! LOL! Those people I suggested were the only concerts I could find for those days...
My post said "something I'm thinking about doing" that doesn't mean it's going to happen or that is going to work. It was just a thought...
XOXO,
Nina
P.S. Zangari, if you lived in Dallas I would take you there and DO YOU all for free luv!!! GGGRRRRRR...

Hey Pard,
It's obvious that our respective approach patterns vary; I've also noted that you appear to imagine that you're superior to me, in motive, content and style.
Golly, Wally, I sure do enjoy being condescended to by you (though I've no idea of your hobbyist excellence or Modern Art knowledge or Provider patois).
Thanks for once again correcting me here on the boards, while making yourself look like a presumptuous creep in the process, and insulting a couple of my favorite "Old School" rock bands in the process. Christ, but you never stop, do you?
I stand in awe of your total lack of social skill and ability to dissect the varying levels of "savvy" present here on the Dallas boards. What I mean to say is this:
How dare you, dude? Who in the Hell do you think you're talking to, here? Godamighty...I don't even know you! Pick on someone dumb next time, huh? Just because you can read an erotic British mystery novel, for fuck's sake, you want to come and pick on me? Enough, already. Okay?
Okay,
Bobbo
Bobbo, your response on this thread is an example of an 'ad hominem' fallacy, where you attack a person instead of an idea. Ad hominem attacks are not interesting or convincing.
Maybe you should think a little more and post a little less. regards, --z
Well,
There you go again, Zangari. Thanks anyway (and I mean that sincerely), but I think I'll maintain my current mode of saying what I mean, in the way I intend to say it.
As for my response to your rather arrogant suggestion about whether I use a PM to convey my thoughts on this rather interesting new (to me) means of Hobbying, I'll repeat myself: You operate your way, and I'll do likewise, in my own way.
I'll add, as well, that I couldn't possibly be less concerned whether I interest, or convince you, of anything at all!
It's honesty without fear, among friends, minus what I can only see as an obvious facade of overt politeness with the intent of currying favor...or perhaps I'm reading you wrong!
I'm willing to give here, old pard. Just keep your suggestions to yourself. I find them condes-cending and unhelpful. I'm sure you're a great cat, just don't offer me any more personal advice, PM, public or otherwise, please. Thanks a bunch.
Okay,
Bobbo
Bobbo,
Regarding PMs: I've never sent you a PM, but you've sent me one, a crazed lunatic rant.
Regarding the Board: When you post on a public board, your statements are open to interpretation and criticism by everyone on the board. If you can't handle criticism, then stay off the board. --z
Zangari,
Let it go, hoss. Enough is enough...Hell, you're not even FROM Dallas, are you?
You've made it apparent that you don't want to compromise, so go on trying to seem knowledgeable and curry favor where you can. I'll suggest that your days are numbered, here. The rest of us are trying to enjoy ourselves, after all...I believe the working term is "last word freak", no? Sheesh.
Okay,
Bobbo
Hey Bobbo,
LOL! Thank you! I was hoping someone would say something about that. Otherwise I would really worry... hehe. Actually I don't hate you at all... It makes a lot of sense believe me, I didn't think it through very well (obviously!)After I read what I actually typed and posted, I thought it was CRAZY and ridiculous... WOW I must have been PMS'ing or something, but anyway... Let's just pretend this post didn't happen okay? LOL!
On a serious note though, I will definately think about this more and come up with something good because it sure sounds like something different and fun to do... I don't know, maybe it's just me the one that thinks that. :P
Someone suggested a flat rate, what do you boys think?
OK ciao for now...
XOXO
Nina
Nina, You are on the right path! For the following two reasons: First, men who are new to the hobby may very well prefer a "social" as a way to meet and greet. It allows both parties to relax and develop a sense of comfort with each other. Then, in the future they can decide if they would enjoy seeing you again and to way extent. Secondly, given the state of the economy, anything on a "flat rate" is a sound business decision. I commend you on being innovative and brave enough to try somthing new. You are a true pioneer. Luke
Nina, to many glasses of vino, I meant to "what extent" Luke
the idea would be that I really click with the lady... in your offer above you ruled out BCD time... which seemed odd.
I have two ladies on my radar... one insists on meeting before the date to see if there is chemistry ... no fee for the preBCD meeting ... then another who will meet for drinks or dinner, off the clock ... with BCD time to follow... I find this very enticing...
So is the idea to have strictly a social date, some kissing and playing... but no BCD ... all in the spirit of building desire and anticipation? and then a real passionate BCD date soon after?
Yeah, something like that but better -I just went a little crazy at the beginning- That's what happens when I'm home alone with nothing to do, I open a bottle of wine and then it's all over! My brain starts to move in all different directions and I overthink. Remind me not to drink and type again okay? Haha...
I will definately work on this, now that I started I will not stop until I finish.
Thank you my luvs for putting me in my place, I needed that. Houston to Nina! Come back down to earth! LOL!
XOXO and lots of them.
Nina, Keep drinking the vino, it helps your creative juices! I think that you are on to something. The economy is forcing many of us to reinvent ourselves, be more creative etc..., You will iron-out the details. Luke
great that you aren't getting defensive - that would shut down the interaction... so this is good... ![]()
Thanks Dbara, well part of being a grown intelligent woman is to recognize and accept that we're not perfect and that we're not always going to be right, or sound sane even.
I couldn't even act defensive if I wanted to! I know how ridiculous I did sound... LOL! OMG I so did!
Like I mentioned before, I accept suggestions and criticism as much as compliments. This is only going to make me stronger, I'm going on my 4th year of enjoying this business and I think I'm doing pretty damn good so far. It can only get better at this point.
Be aware boys because there is so much more Nina to come!
Much luv,
Me, myself and my crazy bottle of vino! Salud!
Nina Darlin',
My main point was not to criticize in the least! I really DO think there is a market for this type of date, ESPECIALLY for the upper-end fellows from outside the Big D marketplace, looking for amusement while here on business, and et cetera.
Don't listen to anyone who tried to make my comments sound otherwise...Forgive me, but I'm passionate about music, and thought I'd beat my chest about the kind of stuff that I dig the most. I don't feel that I tipped my hand, or attempted to alienate you in any way! Just talking about a typically PERFECT date for someone of my particular age bracket and sensibilities, y'know?
Though, I don't know--there may be 24-year-old guys who'd love to experience your idea of a date like this!
My main point is that this is a VERY innovative and original idea, and you should be recognized for the notion of the Social Date; though it may have been invented elsewhere, I've never seen it "pitched" anywhere, and you deserve credit for that...hope that clarifies my point. I really wasn't trying to criticize you, I just have this fuckin' punk following me around who loves to interpret me that way! Hope you understand, babydoll...I think you're fab!
Okay,
Bobbo
I know hun, it's okay really...
To be quite honest with you, I don't even know the band I suggested. I'm not thaaaat young, haha! It was just a thought because I'm off this week and they were the only ones I could find online.
Earlier I stated that I will definately work on this idea, write it down and read it outloud first. The reason I thought about this Social Date is because I've had several guys inquiring about just hanging out with me. They just wanted me to show them around Dallas and hang out. Not more not less, I thought it was hard to believe it too but it has happened several times.
Good idea or bad idea, it requires a lot of thought. Something I didn't do from the beginning. But OH WELL, it's already out there and can't take it back.
I'll keep everyone updated here though and see what you boys think.
LUV ya!
Nina
Nina,
Sounds great, and I'll keep an eye out for that; you've got a great mind for business, and I know I so appreciate an open Provider who's willing to discuss the art and industry of the hobby we all know and love...
Thanks for understanding, and I promise to remain just as honest and responsive as I have been. All a part of the community we're growing here, and I do dig it so!
And, my sincere apologies for the nastiness I expressed here before; thank you all for your patience. Selah.
Okay,
Bobbo
that way both sides can make sure that each is socially adept for certain situations. If I need an escort for a business social or to meet a couple that I know, I don't want someone who can't carry on a conversation about, say, the recent Somalia situation or other recent world events. Not expecting a political science major but am expecting her to carry on an intelligent conversation. Anyway, just my thoughts!
