Relating face-to-face? ( Archived) (28)

I enjoy the face-to-face discussions. I can talk to someone for hours on end. I had a first last fall that lasted 10 hours because we couldn't stop talking.

I wrote a thread on web cam, which is pseudo face to face, but at least better than just emails and the wait game.

Yes that is much better for sure...

I am utterly sick and tired of a computer screen and would drop all in a heart beat to spend even just one day with Mercedes1 in person, to heck with the airfare and all it would be worth it to me regardless. but that's just the way I feel right now so "BLURT" there are the words that fell out when I opened my mouth on this subject...

uhm.... hmm I voted yes btw.. in case the above was to vague...



Sorry Merc but since I am letting that "other thread" go I had to blurt out something here... You can punish me later.

No, there's nobody to ask out around here that I can find. A married friend of mine who I fly model aircraft with has suggested I try going out to bars and stuff with his son who is a little younger than me... he thinks I might have better chances with a wingman, of sorts.

But, I've visited the bar scenes around this side of Houston and frankly they were all full of couples and other single men... I never saw a single gal in those places that I really had any desire (or chance for that matter) to talk with. And I went out on average 2 times a week for several years before it just got too damned depressing and I had to stop.

It'sa bad bad singles scene around here because there are just far too many single men compared to single women in the Houston Metro area (and that's according to the CBS evening news no less, I'm not making it up!). I'm a genuine guy, not a pick-up artist... I don't stand much of a chance especially in the bar and club environments.

I used to love taking my boat to the lake and cruising the lake, kneeboarding and stuff, but I haven't in years now... even though I really enjoy that activity (and own my own boat), the same problem as the bars and nightclubs exists there too. Far too many couples and other single guys at the lake. It get's depressing after enough years, so my boat has been parked under the carport and covered for awhile now.

Good God man! After the first 8 hours, don't you think it's time to get a room???

LOL!

Sorry couldn't resist... there must have been at least a little chemistry going on there though.

well what u have just posted from the bbs i wouldnt do 69 you might catch something

Don't know why or how, but I can feel comfortable and talk forever with people. Probably because I listen more than I talk. When you show interest and understanding in other's opinions the conversation is easy.

Note to self: Visit Houston during next trip back home.

he speedy gonzales good things come to those who wait

Indeed and I am a very patient man.

Make sure that plane lands on the Mississippi Gulf Coast first!

id much rather speak to someone face to face than over the internet or txt . you can truly tell there responses to what you are talking about and the conversation is more spontaneous .and of course it is much more fun to be on an actual date than just chatting over a computer

Yeah, so I heard from a friend who lives in W.Falls, TX. He's a really good looking and nice guy and still - no luck. Hang in there, man!

Sadly, you're right. I never made it up north-north. By the time I found out about those gorgeous Canadian men, I was already in the process of switching pond sides. Next time I fly back, I'll make sure I go up there and check you guys out

n yep face 2 face juz gotta luv it...like 2 see a persons expressions and can tell a lot about a person wen u look in2 their eyes...u juz cannot beat the 1 on 1 inter-reaction

Depends on your age.
