Angel....when I'm nervous about things (like first dates), I tend to be a HUGE worry wart. Again, part of my personality. This little quirk of mine drove my father crazy....he used to tell me that he was going to get himself a heart attack just watchin me worry lol. I always think the worse of an unknown situation before it even arrives. One of the reasons I tend to be impatient. Because I always want to know right away what I'm in for...because if I don't ... the worries kick in lol. It's part of the whole ADD/OCD thing, I suppose. Another issue which adds to my history of high BP. Yes, now you see one of my faults that make me the difficult person that I can be at times. The cat's outta the bag!
lol beach.....doin the usual...stayin home for the weekend. I've actually been "out" 3 times in the past 4 months lol. Mostly just work and being mom...that about sums up red's life
Ned....everyone has their own personal reasons for that. I mean...I am here...but in my case, I'm unable to get out much between full time work and raising my 3 kids and granddaughter....so I really can't leave just for the sake of meeting people. It's one thing when I make plans with a specific person on a certain day to do something....but unfortunately, everything I do has to be planned into schedule with when I can actually go out or if I can find a sitter (which doesn't happen often)....my means of communication with people is limited to online access, unless something gets planned to meet in person, in other words lol. So far this year I've actually gone out for enjoyment purposes 3 times....that's 3 times in four months. The man I am going on a date with on friday works two jobs and is busy as well....we have to plan things with both our schedules for a date lol. ...but eh, what r ya gonna do
I will leave eventually....just not ready to yet. There are many people who are on this site, with or without a significant other because they like the socialization, all the power to them...me, if I am with someone I find it inappropriate to have a profile on a singles website, regardless of the reasoning, just a matter of respect for the other, I suppose. So when that time comes, I would most certainly have to say farewell and just keep in touch with the friends I've made through other means.
Yes...I know you're good people beach, glad to have met ya! and not at all...I think you did the right thing...but maybe it's the woman who was just too upset and wasn't thinking ...sometimes people lash out at those closest to them when something happens and misplacing the blame out of frustration. Yep, got a date and lookin forward to it...we're both gettin anxious...friday's just taking forever to get here lol, ... and thank ya dear
Angel...our backgrounds and upbringing are very similar so something good just may come of it. And well, he's only 30 ....yes, almost 10 years my junior, but that is not unusual as I normally date younger.....and I've seen his photo on here and photos he's sent me and they do look like a 30 year old man so they can't be all that old. Keeping my fingers crossed though and either way, in the end, I still have a friend if it doesn't happen...because I really do enjoy talking to him.
Hi beach .....not so sure about the bad guy thing. I don't want a man who's "bad", just someone with a backbone, there's a difference. You can be the sweetest person, but put your foot down when need be and speak up when there's something to say, rather then "yes dear, no dear" (been through that before - drove me crazy)...s'all good to be the "good guy" with a backbone.
RE: the meeting 2
Beautiful.
