Had my first date last night...

Went out for a movie with a new manfriend last night. He's a local I met at work and was very polite and considerate: very gentlemanly. There may be hope yet for this country. If nothing more it's good to finally start making friends in this area. I think I must be a bit of a hermit. Takes me a long time to mingle with the indigenous. cool

I do not recommend however, the movie "Escape Plan", although it had very good casting and it's probably the best Sly Stallone film yet. He's learned to articulate! doh

Hi Cailin

My dear friend I'm glad to hear that you had a great time on your datethumbs up thumbs up I hope everything continues to work out well in your relationships.
wink wink wink
Well, he's not YOU, Danny-boyo. wink But I reckon he'll do in a pinch. grin I thank you for your kind wishes. kiss
Good luck and enjoy life!!wine
Christ, Bogie! I thought you'd died! grin (Just kidding.) I honestly admire very much your single-mindedness. Very gentlemanly of you. Grand to see you. Glad you are well. You have (honestly) been missed. teddybear
@CC: Ah no, I'm not judging or anything like that really. But on a more relaxed and general note and nothing about you specifically, there would be women out there that might feel that a man wasn't attracted to them if they didn't show interest sufficiently. And by sufficiently, that might mean anything from a lean in for a kiss or something like that. It's tough being a man. lol conversing
CailinCallaghan... I hope you had a wonderful evening. I am sure this will simply be a start to many wonderful conversations and evenings filled with laughter.
Thanks Abagail. It's hard to make this one laugh. Mind, I do like a challenge... grin This man does have to his advantage that he is in the Goldielocks zone as to height. Two inches taller and I'd be moved to take up climbing. All composure lost, I fear... roll eyes I have the tendency to aggress whatever alarms me and anything taller than 6'3" I get confused: "Am I scared or aroused? Hmmmm... Better mount an assault to discern the exact nature of this feeling..." devil

"MuHUhuhuhahahaaaaaa..."
LOL! Yes, Abagail, I find I get fear confused with arousal -- or is it the other way around? grin I love to move mountains. laugh Sometimes the best way to do that is to scale them. There's something to the acute angle at which I have to crane my neck back in order to make eye contact with a BIG man. Seems to cause tachycardia. I use the effect to gauge how tall a man is. Anything 6'3" or over seems to stimulate adrenaline... (I like it. Seems I am dead attracted to scary and to challenge.) doh There's something seriously quirky about me. But it's like this: Fear is the only emotion with which I am uncomfortable because it's the only one that demands a response. Fear means something needs to be done. So, if I aggress what frightens me, there are two possible outcomes: I vanquish whatever frightened me. (Fear stops.) Or whatever frightened me slays me. (Fear stops.) Works for ME! wine devil
Hi Virgo! Great to see you! Keeping you in my prayers along with a few others here. Keep eating unprocessed foods and your health will improve immensely! Cut out the grain and your aches and pains in your joints will improve. (Omega 6s in grains cause inflammation.) Add Krill oil for more omega 3s and your joint pains will likely go away as my own have. (Omega 3s reduce inflammation.) kiss

Tak care of your mountainous handsome self! wink waveteddybear
its realy about the cost of things now that I dont have a job , so its cheeze , soup , and baked beans and walking and getting as much wood and coal off the beach as I can without exhausting myself ...banana
All of the things you mentioned are actually very healthy food so long as not processed. Good rule of thumb: If God didn't make it the way it is, don't put it in your mouth! teddybear
well the baked beans are in tin cans , I was on caned sweetcorn but they put the price up .... I can get 2 and a half cans of beans for the price of 1 can of sweetcorn , I get these fruit iceblocks now instead of Icecream ...wave
Oh lordy i don't believe i'm saying this but for me, i think Maddogs way of thinking with his thinking is righthole
tip hat Howdy Cousin CallingC: I just got back home. And my dinner is now on. Anywho! Maybe the next time, we can double date!. . . teddybear
wave Same as me, new here( 1 year), live like a hermit.
Had one date in three years, and here I am.
@Angel- You and Cailin can be called the doublemint twins
grin grin
batting @GDANIEL: Um! CallingC. And I, are cousin. Why do you think that, she and me, can be doublemint twins?. . . . popcorn
Heya Cousin Angel! You fix in your famous Mustard greens, hog jowels and sweet corn bread again and didn't invite me over t'have none! very mad Good thing I love you and you kin to me an all is all I got t'say! teddybear
Pedalguy! You are just too far up north! Dahlin' Man! You and Dan come down this way to visit FL and I'd be proud to go out with both of you (although not at one time as that would be awkward, I think.) I even have a spare room so you could hang out and the farm and enjoy the birds and the quiet for a couple of days too. The coffee is fresh roasted and phenomenal, man! teddybear
Dan, you are too young to remember the Doublemint Twins. Who you tryin to fool! You can't fool an old fooler! grin bouquet
IW! Are you saying they all find you irresistible?!! What a cross to bear, that must be!! Some women have all the luck.

Here's a funny one, I never realized I was fairly good looking until in the last year. I used to get way too much attention -- not all of it healthy, and it has made me headshy. The fastest way for a man to alienate me is to become too aggressive too fast. He'll have no doubt if I am truly interested. I don't mince words. I rarely flirt insincerity and I am not shy about being direct. I am also precise and tend to say precisely what I mean given my understanding of the words I choose. I am also fairly protective of my prerogatives. My body is mine. His body is his. I generally ask if I may give someone a hug. It seems only fair that I show the same level of respect for his personal boundaries that I expect of mine.

Good luck with that irresistableness problem. grin doh teddybear
I'm off to bed ...
but i'm happy for you, he's one reason to cover many things..

Goodnight, Dahlin' lady. I shall keep your finding the right man for you in my prayers too. Can you maybe pray up a blue eyed mountain of charm and fair and deadlines with a Scots accent for me? Sweet dreams!

Don't worry IW, you did not come off as vain at all. I was just shinin you! Sweet dreams! Your improved luck is in my prayers. Dream and pray me up a beautiful auburn haired, blue eyed mountain of a Scotsman, will you? I just adore that accent and their big sweeping eyebrows. No one glares like a Scotsman! teddybear

Excellent plan! Sadly, as yet the gentlemen previously mentioned as part of this plan have declined to comment! It may end up a girl's night out but I am in for hen parties too! I bet we can still scare up some action! We'll do this =>shimmy and this => drinking until we see this => elephant and then we'll shanghi => waiter and take him to my place for more fun by the camp fire and moonlight. devil Sound good?

Hi Cc
So happy you had a good time out. Sometimes it is good to start slowly and get to know each other better and that seems to be what you're doing. Enjoy it and wishing you a great weekend! teddybear
Thank you Bajan! I have a day full of pulling old sale tags and hanging the new ones at the store! It's lots of standing and squatting and kneeling and trying to focus on tiny little numbers on the tags and on the products -- numbers I have to match product to sticker. But my new friend might come in to say hello as he lives right next door to the store.

I hope you have a beautiful weekend too! teddybear
