alabamabebe: As long as he knows paying doesn't obligate me to anything.
Shoulda said as long as he know his paying for it doesn't obligate me. Yanno what I mean. My paying doesn't mean he's getting anything out of it either.
Totally agree with you....EXCEPT!!...when the salary differential is large....women here earn a pittance....how can you sit by and watch a woman pay for supper when you know that she's blowing her budget for the whole month??!!....no way.. The US is something else....different set of circumstances...
HJFinAZ: Hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think she should pay, I believe in equal rights..

I agree that we in Malta have much lower salaries than in the U S and yes there are people who earn a pittance.
But there are women who earn more than a pittance.
Apologies...what I meant to say "some" women earn a pittance..as do some men here...salaries are low by european standards...the result of a very small insular market.... ..sorry, no slight intended...

-Hi 'Lagoona22', --indeed you are so right, for now i fully understand, she had all the money anyone could ever want, --to her, money was not the issue at all, ---rather, it was simply me she was interested in, for what she lacked was the love of her life (which money cannot buy)! Hopefully, my relating the above, may help others in their quest of love and the wonderful naturally resulting lust of it; --just be yourself, and try to express to the other person (which i totally failed to do) how you are feeling emotionally! Had i done so, she likely would have said- "Robair, just be yourself with me, for your aspiring career as an innovative Industrial'Designer is what you must focus upon for the present, -and know that what is meant to be shall be between us".... Thus, to this day, i think of grabbing her and showing her how i felt... ~Robair in sandiego

Man...that's heartbreaking....regrets of the heart can crush you if you're not careful....hopefully, you've had a fulfilling life anyway....
Tried to get a scholarship to the Art Center btw....:-)...but ended up at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts....yes, I know....nowhere near the same league....

WOW. Sir Robair, such touching and sad event you have shared.
You show us just how very important it is to be honest with yourself and others.
Have you thought about meeting her for lunch again soon? Maybe she misses you too? What would there be to lose?
Hi 'lovestrees', Thank you my friend, --yes actually, -the thought did enter my mind of perhaps mailing her $5, saying: 'remember me, the guy that found you so attractive at the ACS-college decades ago? --well here's the money i owe you for the fine lunch! --may i invite you this time? But then reality sets in, and i realize that that was then, and this is now, and how would i even find her mailing-address, as she is doubtlessly well isolated from the general public. --Oh well, "C'est la vie"...
Oh and 'Lagoona22', -interesting to learn you were also a student of the arts... ~Robair
Robair....seems to me you haven't quite learnt your lesson....it is well known that rich and beautiful people are often the loneliest, precisely because they become untouchable....why don't you turn history on it's head, slay this dragon that has been intimidated you for most of your life....imagine sending her a handwritten letter, with an invite for lunch....imagine her receiving it in her ivory tower, and the unbelievable joy that she would feel for a chance to relive a memory from her youth, and meet you again.....Hey, you just never know.!!...Slay the dragon, I say....otherwise the dragon will slay you....slowly...
One small change, skip the $5, rather include a pic of you from college days....she'll freak...
...and hey, even if she doesn't remember you....you've still got the makings of a great Hollywood script....

Funny. I went to school with a guy that that who was extremely handsome and all the girls would fight over him. I would never go out with him for that reason. Just assumed he had too much money and too many women to ever be anything of value.
Years later he told me how unbelievably lonely he was and seriously comptemplated suicide on more than one occasion. You could have knocked me over with a feather then.
And to think I really DID have a crush on him all that time!!!

Yes! What he said. Check your e-mail KnightyKnight!
Right on Lagoona22! On the same page with you here.
Also, one of my friends from HS was crushed on by every hot girl there. He was shy and did NOT even know it!!! He could have had any of them for his girl, just by asking. He was quite lonely instead, no girlfriend!!
Robair, That is a great anecdote! I believe that things happen for a reason in life. Perhaps if you had pursued this creature, then eventually the issue of money may have created tension again. I would take the first "date" as a harbinger of things to follow.
Hi lovely 'NatureLover81', --indeed, your womans point of view is likewise vitally important for me to seriously consider; --and also my desire to still procreate now later in life (-wow, i am really a late bloomer; --whilst the youthful event i related above eluded me, -and today she would be past that ability to have offspring); --what is your opinion about this aspect of my life, now that i have attained financial stability, --yet remain alone in search of love. A much younger male buddy, told me just yesterday as a matter of fact, that i am being totally foolish to expect that a much younger lady of my dreams would consider starting a family with me, especially since i am very discerning, and since he at age-39 is even having a problem finding the right gal for himself (-am trying to get him to join this great CS-website); --please advise most frankly (never mind the possibilities of eavesdroppers, i really need your lucid unvarnished opinion!).... ~Robair vH
