Do you mention chess on dates?

It's more fun to hang out with athletic guys who are smart guys than with your typical jock type... that has been my experience

Yeah, I tried that with my wife. She corrected it to "stalemate."

yuk

I'm on a date right now.  Posting and playing chess on my iPhone.

taldrinker is another reader of pdelio.

Wut?

pdela's tips for getting laid. Let us know if they work.

I have to ask PH, since I never read that thead did any of the tips have to do with the exchange of money?

I don't know if I'll get laid but it's not helping my rating.

None of pdela's tips did, but we all suspected that the exchange of money was the only chance he really had.

Yeah, well he would also have had to Duct Tape his own mouth shut if he wanted to get anywhere.

If asked for hobbies, and chess is a serious hobby, you should just be honest and mention it. 

Lol...that'd be my sister who'd say something like that :)

I once started dating a girl while I was in the middle of a three day tournament.  So I had to tell where I was going to be next evening.  She came and stood behind my board and kept whispering "oh come on .. give him the damn rook -- let's go to dinner." 
Sometimes it doesn't work out real good for either the relationship nor the game. 

Did you give-up the rook?

Never give up the rook.  Never.

I've convinced everyone at my chess club I am a mute.  I just hope one day someone doesn't show up who knows sign language and ruin it for me.

I can recall a whole slew of guys who disappeared from the club shortly after starting some relationship with a young gal.

On the other hand, no one believes the chess player who talks about his dates.

I have to get a date before, since I'm with Pepette I get none. I go to Ashley Mad and be back.
