He Called Me a Gold Digger!
Good day CS.
This week, I went on a dinner date with a guy. He invited me to his place so we could better talk because its more private and all, I didn't agree. I told him its better that we take time to get to know each other first and for us to take time to have trust before anything more intimate. And also that I wanted to take things slow. He agreed after trying to convince me otherwise the whole time we were at the restaurant.
The next day, he messaged and me to set up a second date. I agreed to meet him after 3 days. I thought, ok this seems promising. The day before the said date, i asked him what the plan was. He then told me, we will stay at his place, watch a movie, and eat something special he'll cook. I reminded him that he agreed to take things slow and that Im still not comfortable going to his place. I suggested it would be better if we go somewhere or do activities like movies or atv riding at red sand. He didn't want those, given the strict laws of saudi about male and female segregation. ( Its always a good card to play for men here, especially when they want to take the girl to his house and make it look like that's the only choice. I understand that some mean it because its truth. But I just can't reconcile it with my consciousness, since Ive been on dates before and nothing happened.) So anyway, we had a discussion where I was trying to reason out with him where I said "oh, I forgot you didn't have a car. It would be difficult to go places together on uber." ( in my mind, usually uber drivers are saudis and they could report us to police and we'd both be in jail.) But after I made that remark, he became distant suddenly.
He didn't message me the whole day next day. And yesterday he messaged me" Hello gold digger" I was so mad I couldn't just brush it off. We went on an argument where I called him a lying AH because he made me believe he was looking for something serious, but when sex was not on the table he disappeared, and he called me a gold digger and Cold because I pointed out out he didn't have a car.
Needless to say I was disappointed because I thought that we had potential.. But what good is potential when its with promised on deceit?
Such a waste of time. At least I had a great burger.

The Boks are back
Love it man.
Not much else to say. Brutal games are beautiful.
Eks, Lukeon, Map (Rhodesian), and any other Saffa. Welcome back brothers
Looking forward to the EOYT especially with Ireland but the BOKS are back. The old foe are stepping up regardless of politics.
Rassie has a plan, Shag has a plan but who can deny the old foe.

Hot and Cold...
I don't like it cold... Even though when I feel hurt I may act a little distant... But I always like it hot, warm... Cozy, soft, hard, sticky, full of emotion, intense, passionate, obscene, sacred, s*xual, innocent... I love it... In all its ways, shapes and forms...
Hot and Cold
"For this love flowing against the current.
For this love that nobody understands.
At times it knows no bounds
and runs amok in a terrible way.
It drags me around like a river,
going between hot and cold,
but it's yours and its mine,
clear as a moonlit night
with the moon full...
it's worth the difficulties.
And at times it takes me so far
that I find myself where I have never been.
Sometimes I lose myself
and then return in an instant, going between
hot and cold.
This love is yours and mine.
For this love that has no pretensions,
for this love
that scratches and spreads out,
for this love born out of time itself.
For this love
that sometimes I myself don't even understand.
And it plays, just like a child
with the face of a rascal,
a game of cat and mouse.
And at times it shows itself to me naked,
so delicate and pure,
that I can't imagine it being wrong in any way.
And at times it takes me so far
that I find myself where I have never been.
Sometimes I lose myself
and then return in an instant, going between
hot and cold.
This love is yours and mine.
And at times I confuse the heavens
with the earth;
at times I don't know if it's going away or coming back,
between hot and cold...
This love is yours and mine."
P.S. What about other things...
My soup, extremely hot...
My drinking water, extremely cold...
My room, cold...
My bed, warm...
My... Nah, I better stop... Jajajajajajajajajajajajja... 
What about yours... Do you like it hot... Do you like it cold... Somewhere in between...

Romance Is Dead
Romance is dead. It died when a so-called enlightened society decided that there is no difference between men and women and any suggestion to the contrary is sexist. Goodbye romance. R.I.P.
Seriously.....How many of you who have been on CS for years have actually met and married someone?
I have been on and off CS for at least almost the last four years and.........? Reminds me of the Stones' song"Can't get no satisfaction"! I am not necessarily knocking CS but......... is this a dating site or...more a "social atmosphere" for all of the mateless wannabees to meet,mingle and commiserate with each other? As usual.... feel free to post any opinion you want to my blog....HOWEVER, I WILL NOT TOLERATE PERSONAL ATTACKS,INSULTS OR COARSE LANGUAGE! DELETED IMMEDIATELY!

6 styles of love. People can be a blend
In response to:
There Are Six Styles of Love. Which One Best Describes You?
Keep in mind, you may still possess some elements of the others.
The Conversation
Rachel Grieve
Love is a complex and powerful force, one that plays out in a number of emotional, cognitive and social ways.
When we love a person, we feel emotional arousal in their presence. We will also have a set of thoughts (or cognitions) about that person, and our previous experiences can shape our ideas about what we expect in our relationships. For example, if you believe in love at first sight, then you are more likely to experience it.
But we use love in many different contexts. You might say that you love your partner, or your family, or your best friend, your job or even your car. Clearly, you’re using the term in different ways that highlight the various dimensions of love.
The ancient Greeks described several different types of love. Following the Greeks, the sociologist and activist John Alan Lee suggested that there are six broad styles of love.
It is good to keep in mind that although these love styles can be thought of as “types”, we are not necessarily locked into only one. We might have a predominant love style, but we will also have some elements of the other styles.
Similarly, our love style might change over time based on our experiences and interactions with our partners.
Eros
This style is typically experienced as a romantic, fairytale-type love. Physical beauty is important to this love style. Attraction is intense and immediate (“head over heels”), and the Eros lover feels an urgent drive to deepen the relationship emotionally and physically.
Because these individuals love the feeling of being in love, they tend to be serial monogamists, staying in a relationship as long as it feels fresh and compelling, then moving on so they can experience those same feelings again with someone new.
Storge
Storgic types tend to be stable and committed in their relationships. They value companionship, psychological closeness and trust. For these individuals, love relationships can sometimes grow out of friendships, so that love sneaks up on the pair. This love style is enduring, and these individuals are in it for the long haul.
Ludus
People with a ludic style view love as a game that they are playing to win. Often this can be a multiplayer game! Ludic individuals are comfortable with deception and manipulation in their relationships. They tend to be low on commitment and are often emotionally distant.
Because ludic individuals are more focused on the short term, they tend to place greater importance on the physical characteristics of their mate than do the other love styles. They are also more likely to engage in s*xual hookups.
Pragma
Practicality rules for this type. Logic is used to determine compatibility and future prospects. This doesn’t mean that these individuals use an emotionless, Spock-like approach to their relationships, rather they a place a high importance on whether a potential mate will be suited to meeting their needs.
These needs might be social or financial. Pragmatists might wonder if their prospective partner would be accepted by family and friends, or whether they’re good with money. The might also evaluate their emotional assets; for example, does a would-be partner have the skills to be calm in times of stress? ...

I lost my heart to a Galway Girl........
.... and her hair was blonde and her eyes were blue....
.....
.....
Would you consider dating a tootist
You know, someone who farts. 
I mean we all fart, right ? But some of us go outside or wait until we are alone first.
But, how about someone who not only doesn't wait to be alone, but somehow reveres their farting, as something sacred, almost a religious experience.
They outright pray......that it was a dry one.
Yes, a tootist not only smelt it and dealt it, but considers the experience a moving experience.
Just move them away from me.
If you have any comments on this situation, let 'em rip !
