why are these people not "taken" or in a" relationship"? ( Archived) (134)

if you were closer to me you would need two really big dogs to keep me away from you, i say two dogs because i coundn`t afford enough steaks to distract two dogs

That's why you go to talking on the phone and meeting in person as soon as possible...to make it more real.

Communicating daily in emails and IM helps, too.

I can tell you why. I never learned how to flirt or make small talk, i.e., "to play the game". For example if a woman played hard to get, I took it to mean she wasn't interested, and it would just be her loss. Besides, most women aren't my type (I know what I like, and it isn't just any woman). There WAS one exception I can recall... at one speed dating party a couple of years ago, I talked to one woman who told it like it is, and believe me, if she would have been my type, I probably would have proposed to her right then and there!

But, it all comes down to whether you're on the market for a game player or a keeper, and whether you're a game player or a keeper yourself. I am very much a keeper, and I never get the hots for ANY woman who I think is a game player... it would be a big mistake if I ever married one.

I hope you find what you seek and need, then. I'm with you on one thing...I only date those who seem to be keepers. I'm not a game-player, and I don't want one. Just sometimes you've got to date them to find out that's what they are, and then you say "adios" and move on. I'm a keeper, and I hope I've found one who wants to keep me, and me him this time. So far, so good...and I hope it just gets better.
