The Chase
Courting, to use Cat’s phraseology, is usually a game of cat and mouse; the predator and the prey.Not in a bad sense, but one usually does the chasing, and even in today’s modern world, that is usually the man.
So, how do you play the game? Cat has already told us his style, and it works for him.
Some people like the full-on romantic approach – flowers and flowery talk and whisperings of love from the outset;
others prefer a slower, softee softee approach.
Some like an ‘exclusive’ online relationship without ever having met, others don’t believe that online chatting is a relationship.
Some hate a particular approach, while others revel in it.
Whether we are the chaser or the ‘chasee’ (or both, at different times), we all know what we like and what works for us.
Or do we?
Maybe we can learn from how other people approach it

I've witnessed countless baptisms there...really nice ceremony, I usually go with them every time there are groups of members ready to be baptized but I always tell them I'm not ready yet...the water was tempting but too muddy and the current too strong....I'll go for a nice swim but not to be baptized
I don't think I'll ever go to a confession...the priest will more likely faint
They used to do that to all babies here, before they even had a chance to decide whether they even wanted to be in a religion themselves or not
That should be a choice that adults make, not adults for babies
discretions, yeah everyone has , , even the holiest ones
You're even playing hard to get with the almighty
Well done you!
That whip cross over Idea of yours sounds very tempting.
But, and this is a big but, a lot of men still like to be the predator. They feel secure in that role, and feel it is theirs.
Having said that, I would invite a man out for a coffee. I have done in the past, and paid for it too
Now let me check what´s going on here with our lovely CH and her dogmas
Men generally do the chasing/contacting in the first place.
and a sharp knife..
Bon Voyage CH
As usual, please feel free to continue on the blog. I will catch up tomorrow
Yeah ...I´m in the mood because of that Baptism thing lol!

See, all Catholics are born with 'Origional Sin'. Thanks to the woman temptress Eve and that dumba** Adam taking a bite of the proverbial apple, we are all born with this 'Origional Sin'. Baptism is the process to remove this 'Origional Sin'. If the child dies before being baptized then they will not obtain the Beatific Vision (meeting God) due to this sin. Hope this clarifies why it's done and done quickly upon birth.
Ms crazyheart, Why are you having to be Baptized again? I think being Baptized in the Jordan would be an honor since I believe thats where Jesus was Baptized.Take note above of being in a state of sin and being unrepentant.
I haven't read any comments. So may be someone already said this.
I don't think online chatting is a relationship. It's just a start of a friendship until you meet in person. Nothing is real until I know, will my skin crawl when I shake hands or I feel something else. If I feel cold and get goosebumps, I know I am not physically attracted.
I am attracted to people with good sense of humour. If I see one with my kind of humour, I will try and get him. I am too old to run or chase now, so I will be direct in my approach.
I think Catfoot's technique would be the one that would work on me.
Arrogance, like TokyoRogue's strategy, will only sharpen my thorns.
It won't work on me.
I guess I'm the kinda guy that likes to wing it.. no plan or agenda..
When I was out and about and open to talk to people, I had no problems with a decent guy coming over for a conversation. If I was out with a friend catching up and we made it obvious that we weren't interested in contact with someone else, I didn't appreciate someone ignoring my wishes.
The clue is someone with half a brain and social skills that simply knows these things.
I like to take my time getting to know someone. I'm straight - if I like someone and would like to see him again after an initial date, I will let him know. If someone thinks it's cool to play games (waiting too long and only texting when it is obvious that he doesn't have anything else going on or trying his luck getting laid when I made it clear that I wasn't interested) I will tell him in no uncertain terms to eff off.
Once we know we are interested in each other and want to spend time together, flowers/little presents (for him) and spoiling someone with cooking etc. is normal.
I think you want what we all want, somebody compatible and that we like being with
My blog wasn't directed at either men or women specifically, yanno
You are totally right, and reiterating my point.
If a person isn't born Catholic, then they do not have the so-called original sin, so they are immediately onto a winner. They won't have to suffer Catholic guilt or any of the other related ailments which come with religions.
But humans are such complicated creatures that it sounds better in theory than in practice.
If you , for example, fancied somebody on here. How would winging it work?
If you don't contact them, they will not know you are interested.
And yes, I do like spoiling my man too. It is nice to spoil the one you love, especially in the small but important ways
Jokes aside.. I think you're right. There obviously has to be some level of plan or strategy.. but in all honesty I don't think about it too much and just see what the blogs bring me and take it from there. Not to mention my region is blocked for most places anyway so its not like I can act on my impulses freely..
and you... sometimes I just want to strangle you.. grrrr...
