How Do I Convince You?? (26)
by being flat out honest. simple answer i realize, but i would just explain to that person that i was serious. If they didnt agree then i would move on.
You should never have to convince anyone that you are serious, if you really are. Its only when you are playing games, and decide not to anymore that you might find it a bit more difficult, and thus have a need to convince someone that you are serious this time.
Firstly, Urs, I like your forums.
Next, I like your intentions, but you must remember, this is wonderworld and until you meet someone, virtually all the rest is not yet founded.
If your rhythm says BEAT
then izz gooood!

I guess I just worry about getting disappointed and or rejected so I just mainly try to hint and show it somehow in words or actions and hope that the other person gets it and says something.
I know I need to change that and this year I have learned that its time I speak what I feel instead of sitting in the background waiting. Because otherwise I could miss out on opportunities that I didn't know were there.

Where you met is of little consequence. That fact that you did meet is what matters most. If there are any feelings there - you will be too involved having fun and enjoying each others' company to have to convince. And truthfully why is that other person not trying to convince you that YOU are special, and that where you met is of no consequence.
PS thanks for the bashing the other day Thumper. typical canadian. Perhaps when you feel better about yourself - you will feel less need to belittle others in forums. They are allowed to have an opinion also.

You shouldn't need to convince people.. and just like what some folks here said you should just be you and be honest and the rest should just fall into place.
When Xfahctor and I first met up everything was so bloody natural it was kinda weird. We had chatted via phone email msn ect... for about a month and a half and then when we met at Tim Hortons he just sat down and we talked like we had known eachother for a long time. He was who he said he was and I was who I said I was...
We didn't need to convince eachother about ourselves. That would be wrong to start any sort of relationship off with that much mistrust. I can understand maybe some people have had bead experiences before but I belive that should make you cautious NOT untrusting of other people.

That's the question I have myself. And maybe there doesn't need to be any convincing done.... I just started answering your post but I'm gonna stop because I'm already confused myself 
OK Dear Canada....
First, you give yourself a handle. Then call me "typically Canadian"...
Who did I belittle or bash? BTW - don't send me anymore flowers or mail please....

Yes, everyone, including those who email you, are entitled to their opinion, as you wrote....
And with their opinions, they can stick with people like you...
P.S. don't email me. I am here for the women.

Hey James- you don't have to convince me, I know you're normal, I know you mean well, I know you're smart & damned funny too. By the looks of things your "friend" doesn't have to convince me that he's a jerk either...it's pretty clear!
James, it might have been your quick wit that got you in trouble- see the Do you mind if I flirt with you thread:
he said:
Flirting is just a way for people to feed a hungry ego. Just be prepared for when some9one is flirting with you - you are interested - and he leaves you standing there . Why , because he was only flirting
you said:
Or in the case of those behind the monitors...sitting...
and the rest of us laughed at your humour!

Yep! I remember that lol I was flabbergasted when he msg'ed me telling me you were bashing me. I was like get real dude and get what we people call "humor" lol
And that is the tricky thing about the internet. Sometimes its hard to read into what one person is writing but there is also no need for hate. Nothing wrong with voicing a concern but when you attack that person which you don't know then that is crossing the line.

Laughter is such good medicine.

Crossing the line, comes with going with crossed signals.
When someone comes outright and sends "cross" email for no apparent reason and without provocation, then there are some real issues with those who "sit behind the monitor"....

After reading the posts here...though it took off in another direction for a moment...it actually made my point...
In the "real world" you may not need to convince someone of your intentions...your body language and "presence" may do so for you...but on a screen typing words..it is much harder to convey what you are feeling...
Point in case...a "joke" was misunderstood because one could not see the "laughter" in the other as they typed...

James is a wonderful person...and has (or rather had) beautiful blue sunglasses...which is now part of my home decor...since he left them here!!
Ah hah! You do see! It must be the glasses!!
Actually, you have convinced me dear Urs. People can write words on the screen, but they will make intrepretations and take judgement. I have had the wonderful experience of meeting you in person, which makes all the writing on the wall (or screen...) clearer....

One can only say what they feel and how one perceives it is how they choose to feel.
As long as your honset,and what you feel ,to you,is genuine,then you have done all you can do.....
