Thing is, I met Sharon via the Internet, she lived in Glasgow when we first met. Sometimes you do have to go a long way to find a partner that matches you, but it's so worth it.

My cousin met his wife via the 'net, too.  They're now married and living (via Airdrie) in Texas.

I guess the moral of that story is, when you find someone worth fighting for, then fight. :)

Mef's handy tip #43: Know when to draw the line between 'fighting for' and 'stalking'.

Anyway, I couldn't agree with you more IceFire. Sad state of affairs, indeed.

:lol: Hardly....

However, this would not be relevant if Sharon caught me trying to find out if my chatting-up skills still worked ;)

I can't help but envision your wife as a Cylon. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Yeah, but apparently after 3 or so resurrections, it really, really starts to hurt. ;)

3 Weeks, how far have you got?  not base/fraKK wise but you must have taken her out at least once a week by now?

Ah, that's a bastard - the old who-moves-where type scenario.

Re: If you are single and looking out...
Slow and steady wins the race.

I met my girl in my Psych course and after a couple of months of getting to know her, asked her out to dinner. I think if I rushed things and moved any quicker than that I would have scared her away.

(Although it also helped that she and I were looking for dance partners for Salsa lessons: nothing gets the chemistry going more than dancing to some latin music.)

Re: If you are single and looking out...

Yes. Of course they do.

And contrary to what some people say this IS lots of fun... so long as they are actually interested, arent just stringing you along and arent flirting with other guys at the same time bouncing you off one another into a pissing contest.

Oh yes, I hate those who play games too!  But not all girls are like that though.


I think that this is one of those questions that can best be answered with another question:
 
WHY ARE YOU NOT DATING HIM?

Once you've answered that question, there's a good (not 100%, granted) chance that you've got the answer to your question.

Well, aldo has answered the question.  Some guys are just not really meant to have partners if they don't stop being JAs.

From the title I thought WF was posting a vacancy sign....... :drevil:

Yes.  It's for you, dude :P


Bloody hard.  Let me tell you.  The last one that I had a go at didn't work out so well.  It takes me a bit to psych myself up and it also means that I usually think that person is really great or at least seems really great from the onset.  We had one date, it went really well, and that was it. Then she stopped talking to anyone and disappeared.  By a strange coincidence another guy I know tried to date her about a year and a half later and it went even worse...she blew up when he even tried to ask for a date.

Now I realize that not all of us guys are not perfect and if we're not your thing...not a problem.  But geeze...try and have some class. I have not found anyone with class for a while.  Not a shred of it.  I keep forcing the blame on myself...and I bet your co-worker there...if he's a genuine guy who is trying to find someone...he's probably doing exactly the same thing.  The nice guys, the guys that the girls say they want...nope...we're out here but we're exactly the last on the list.  When we do try and go for someone we're made to feel like the jerks of the whole thing for even considering them.

Its screwed up but you can't get ahead these days by being the honourable gentleman.  Not even close.  I have one friend who's dating this jerk of a guy and she keeps dumping him and picking him back up again and it never seems to end. She really should find one of those nice guys out there but she's content to live this dramatic and possibly abusive relationship instead.

Sorry...ranting now.

It's fine to rant, everyone has to right to rant :)  You sound like someone I know.  Well, I always believe everyone has a path (especially good people) where you will meet someone who will be your life partner.  Do not procrastinate though if that someone appears ;)

Oh, you're probably right about most girls, having naughty boys on top of the list.  I do not have a list, but if I do, it's the opposite :)

Re: If you are single and looking out...
Yeah...attempting not to procrastinate.  I did learn my lesson there...I think over the last 5 years I've run the gamut of far far far too slow to way too fast (well not way way too fast, don't get the wrong impression here).  Neither seems to work.  Sadly the middle didn't either...just gotta find the right one.  Its hard...

And thank you for listening to my rant...probably needed.  One one small piece of my enormously complicated life puzzle at the moment.  I think I want to be an undergrad again...gosh that sounds wrong :)
