I think I actually 'got' your sense of humour, which is a bit worrisome unto itself.

To answer your intended question...it's different for every woman, I would think. No different than it would be for men and the qualities or character traits they look for in women.

Personally, I prefer to be with someone who is funny and not serious most of the time, but is willing to show his sensitive side from time to time. But, that's just me.

IMO, being strong doesn't have to mean being insensitive. The two can co-habitate.

And that's my two cents worth!

For me, I just see it as a way to meet new people and make new friends. If something more comes of it, it's a bonus!

I've had two relationships that started as an online connection. And I've made some great friends!

My advice....sit back, grab a drink and relax....you'll have some fun and who knows where it may lead?

Just my two cents worth!

Enjoy!

Please do share if you make it to that point first!


An actual letter to the Passport Office: click here to read the entire thread »

A little bit of my experience while working on getting recognized as an Italian citizen, a birthright apparently. First, one spends $75 to get the papers that prove that your parents were Italian citizens at the time of your birth. The myriad of paperwork I already had wasn't good enough. Then one has to prove that these people are actually your parents!. Another $60. So, four months later, all the paperwork is ready to deliver to the Italian Embassy.

Then the nightmare begins with the Italian Embassy in Toronto:

They're only open 4 days a week, for 4 hours.

They don't answer phones.

They consider me an Italian citizen, but require that I apply for recognition as an Italian citizen. To do this, I must make an appointment with an embassy employee. The only problem is that they don't answer the damn phones...it's voicemail hell to figure that part out.

So the only alternative is to send an email via their website. Problem? Well, sending an email wasn't a problem, but getting a response apparently is!

So one day, they will hopefully contact me and take another $100 to accept my application. And then, I'll get to start all over again with applying for an EU passport....more money!

They actually advertised in newpapers and on the radio to encourage people like me to go through this process!

It's a good thing that I've got another 2 years before moving to Europe as it would seem it's going to take me that long to sort out the paperwork.

Surviving it all with sanity intact: Priceless!

Everyone that crosses my path of life, romantic or otherwise, has something to offer and is different than any other. Every memory and experience makes my life better. In some twisted way, even the not-so-good memories have a purpose!

I see every person that has come into my life as different and neither better or worse than another. Just different.

Having said that, I can say from personal experience, that the toughest memories to store away properly are those where the break-up wasn't relationship based, but just life's circumstances. Again though, I wouldn't move on to another relationship until I was certain that those bags were unpacked and put away to prepare for the next voyage!

Is that four cents now?

Good thread, by the way, Antcus!


Can a woman really forget?: click here to read the entire thread »

I can only speak for myself on this one as I'm sure everyone's experience is different. If I'm somewhere with someone new, I'm there because I've let go of the past. Letting go of the past though, doesn't mean letting go of memories - how do you forget someone who was special to you at some point in your life? They are engraved in my mind and are part of who I am in some way.

Every person that has been in my life has some special place and I'll never forget, but once I've moved on, it's with the hope that I'll create new memories with a new man, not relive the old ones! My experience with a new person will never be the same as with an ex in the past. He's a different person.

Truthfully, if I'm dancing cheek to cheek with a new guy and thinking of an ex, I probably shouldn't be with the new one. But, that's just me maybe? Would I freely share the memory everytime it pops into my head? Nope, that's just insensitive - if it's still that vivid a memory that I'd subject him to that, I'd probably suggest we go somewhere else instead!

And that's my two cents!

Ditto...the honesty and loyalty are very important factors in making it work until the time comes that you can be together!!

I really appreciate what you've said. Question though: If we understand and can reason that the lies are to avoid rejection or to gain approval, should we tolerate them and still love unconditionally?

Just curious as to your thoughts as I've run into this a number of times!

My compassion and understanding has been tested to the max and I'd welcome some enlightenment cause I'm having trouble with it!

Givenchy's Hot Couture most days and Calvin Klein's Eternity if I feel like changing it up a bit!

BUT, I also have L'air du Temps, Coco Chanel, and Lalique just in case!

Unfortunately, sometimes true meanings get lost in the written word where there is no body language, tones, expressions, etc.

Wishing you better communications! Have fun no matter what!
