I have, 'round about 2010. Under an older account, not this one. Back when I still wanted to be encumbered by a relationship and before I fully realized how good it is to be single.
We met in a rustic historical part of the city and had coffee. She was too cute and I really liked her but I guess my attitude didn't show it. I was weary and preocupied with other things.
She invited me home and we had good conversation until bed time. I slept in the living room on an air mattress and she in her bed.
The end.

Over the years I've had several dates through CS. Only one turned into a relationship which lasted 8 months but with the impact of bringing me to the area where I am living now. As I loved it I stayed when our relationship broke up. I've been here 12 years now.

Since re-joining last year I have met up for coffee with 2 men.
One of them is a great person and we keep in touch although the Covid doesn't help much for visits. We are not wanting the same things from a relationship but as a friendship he is the sort of guy who fills your cup rather than leech energy out of you.

I'm also writing with a great guy who lives on another continent. He is very talented and I love getting his messages with glimpses of his life.

There's a guy who lives round here and a couple of others who we write with spasmodically ...

I like the fact that meeting people can turn into all sorts of different connections if not a relationship then may be a friendship or a job opportunity or a project...

I found that communicating kindly whatever the outcome of the meeting is the most rewarding in the long run.

Happy New Year people teddybear

It has nothing to do with breakfast.

Met some nice people, would be happy to date if they weren't so far away. Not really much women from this country here, even they'd be too far away. But who knows, maybe one day.

That's only about 4000km, roughly 4 days drive from my house, maybe 400 bucks in diesel... Or about 5 hour flight cost 3-5 hundred bucks... Then I'd have to get home again.

Don't get me wrong, I've no plans to date your friend, I think more than a hundred or two km is pretty much wasting time.

Wow we forget how vast Oz is, it's a long way from me to, but I have met this person,of course, but, while I am in the UK, there is 12 hours time difference so our talking time is limited.

WE are meeting up again when the covid lifts, I'm sure a lotof people are in our positin

Cavalero: She probably thought I didn't share her passion for literature because I couldn't remember most of the authors of books I had read... Me and my selective memory, lol. I just don’t encumber my mind with such things.
She was an English major and was surprised at my use of the English language, even though I'd told her I had spent more than 20yrs in the U.S.
But mostly, I think, was because I didn't have a stable job at the time and in Belgium no job means low-life for an aweful lot of people. I understood that and I didn't push it any further.
Wow! You assumed a lot of things all of them negative about how she perveived you....
Her comment on your use of the English language would have been a genuine compliment. Do you have any idea how many people live abroad a bit chunck of their life and yet are still incapable of stringing a sentence together without grammatical errors and have a very limited vocabulary?

Anyway, 'stable jobs are overrated... financial solvency doesn't have to be chained to 'stable job' ...

Hope you're in a place of personal peace now ...
