RE: I would love to live in a world

I do somehow agree with Biff.

It is important to be aware what is going on in the world, but if everyone took care of the people close to them, be there for them etc. there would be a lot less misery in the world.

It is easier to sign a petition on Facebook than to look after your grandparents, friends that suddenly have problems and need help etc. Be there for people and make sure you have people in your life that are also there for you.

RE: Age and mileage, please

Life goes in cycles and I had my bad times.

I do appreciate the good times and just hope they will last.

Sounds like an adventure and fresh start what you are planning and that was something that got me back on the current track - not easy in the start but it got me where I wanted to be.

RE: Age and mileage, please

Yep, so far 2 great decisions Biff.

Keeping my fingers crossed for your move and heading to bed soon - have to collect 3 kids (Hotel Auntie is handy) god-knows-when from some pub in Kilkenny and not to forget our early alarm clock.

I liked my fast horses and fast cars and I better don't start how great a powerful motor, immediate reaction when hitting the gas and not to forget, thundering through turns is.

RE: Age and mileage, please

Just got a "new" car.

I was practical about the age, but I got a swish, comfortable car (black leather seats ) with low mileage, only one owner and a warranty.

It actually does remind me of my preferences in regards to a boyfriend

Hope all is well with you Biff and moving etc. is going well for you.

RE: Back on CS again after a failed relationship

Same as real life - when a relationship failed, you still have to go out and meet the people you have met as a couple when out socialising, in your social circle, colleagues etc.

It never was a secret when I was with someone, but then I probably wouldn't advertise it too much to people I'm not too close to when I am with someone.

It is also sometimes possible to have to tell people that things are over, when friend kept asking me for weeks how the (at this stage ex guy) was, that was doing my head in and I just told him.

It is nobody's business other than the people you want to share it with. I had people I could talk to when a relationship ended and they genuinely wanted to be there for me, with others I wouldn't have discussed it. As for myself, I can offer a shoulder to cry on, but if someone doesn't want to talk, that's it and it is their own business anyway.

RE: Settling for less than perfect

NO ONE IS PERFECT

If there is one thing I have found about in my relationships, it is that no person is perfect. 2 people will have different opinions, different things they want to do, a different rhythm or simply a lot on and a bad days.

It has nothing to do with settling either for me. I either connect with someone or not, and if someone is on paper "pretty perfect", it doesn't mean that I necessarily like him. I could never settle for someone.

I think you have to give people a chance. If there is someone I liked and that seemed ok, I have given it time to get to know him. Sometimes it was a waste of time, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

There is always the chance that things don't work out, but there is also a chance that it does.

RE: Should I give up hope?

I'll drop in when I have time - it's a bit hectic at the moment.

You can drop me a line anytime, hope things keep going your way.

RE: International Kissing Day

Yep, getting kisses every day.

Some are the caring, "have a safe trip and good day at work" kinda kisses, some contain pasta sauce and/or chocolate (from the kiddo) but there are also always the passionate ones that reminds me of that first kiss that I felt in my toes that one winter's night...

Hope all is going well Biff and you are looking forward to your big move.

RE: Should I give up hope?

Mimi!

Yes, it was a working trip of a different kind.

Quite hectic at the moment in work and outside work, but that is better than the alternative. So not complaining.

Hope all is well, you're looking smashing!

RE: Happy Birthday Lou Lou

Best wishes to a bright and cracking lady.

RE: Should I give up hope?

If something doesn't work, try something else.

Join a club with like-minded people, build a social network that enables you to get out and meet new people - best way to meet someone imo.

RE: Happiness is a soap bubble

Happy times, had them, have them and knowing that there is no such thing as "perfect", I will hopefully have them again.

Sorry to hear about your car crash Biff, hope you are feeling ok.

On a different note, I know now why some parents go for peace and relaxation to work.

RE: I wish

Thanks for the invite Biff and I really hope to make it.

You'll be grand, money has to be earned somehow and this is probably easier than having to turn up in an office for around 40 hours a week and not telling your bosses to shove it.

RE: Caffeine & Dark Rooms

Listen to your body and mind yourself Track.

RE: I wish

Jeez Biff, a guest house and teaching people?

You must love lots of company and snotty kids wanting to learn a new language.

I love my peace and quiet but that's not happening either on the weekends.

Best of luck with your big move and make sure you have a couple of rooms you can lock yourself away from everyone else.

RE: Distance and the Heart

Not for me.

My family live about 1 3/4 flight hours away and I don't see them as often as I want. We do keep a lot in contact and I do realise that not living on top of each other does cut out any friction that could occur through the daily grind.

A partner - no way. I do want to spend time with someone in person.

RE: crocodile tears...

So, did you find out what she prefers?

RE: ANNOYING GIRL FRIEND

Exchanging messages on Facebook doesn't make someone your girlfriend.

You don't like someone's behaviour, simply stop communication.

RE: A trip down memory lane

You're unforgettable Boban.

Send us a pic when all the gym work has paid off.

RE: 3 years ago

Thanks Biff, too busy for cracking open the champagne, but I don't mind.

It sounds as if things are going good for you as well.

RE: Curlyhead

Get involved and have fun.

RE: A THOUGHT

Pretty good, dropping in to say hi.

RE: A THOUGHT

Busy IBA.

Would be too much to write and no time to do it.

Hope you are well.

RE: You don’t attract what you want. You attract who you are.

I do think the "attracting" someone is the problem. There are enough guys who that simply jump any female.

There aren't a lot of guys I would be attracted to as a partner though - someone decent, bright, interesting and that has my back as much as I would have his and that wants to share his life with someone.

But as a fact, there are a few - and unsurprisingly, these guys do have a choice of potential partners.

I did have it in the past that when I was miserable, I attracted miserable guys. When my life is full and going well, it is easy to go out and meet people.

Thankfully it did happen that I did meet one of the "good ones" and it lasted as long as we were on the same page in regards to what we wanted to do with our lives. So yes, if you want to attract "good", you have to be a good partner yourself.

RE: Basic Human Needs

The needs a partner can provide.

These needs are different from person to person. I do think some people do expect too much from their partner, others are not willing to give much to someone else...

We have talked beforehand about what is important for us should we get together and I think we are pretty much on the same page. No point otherwise imo.

RE: What do you ladies think ?

If my partner died I wouldn't be interested in going out on a date. Even if he would claim that things weren't good for a while, I still would find it tasteless.

He shows no respect to her so I wouldn't expect any respect from him. Good bye.

RE: three things that mattered!

Back to work directly after the New Year, really wishing for a looong period off but that won't be happening.

RE: Poverty and the Catholic church

Yep and seeing how radical the Philippine president is in some of his politics, he hopefully will go ahead and do something about family planning.

RE: three things that mattered!

If you can't let go of things gracefully you won't get much of a good life or any lovin'.

RE: Trust

If it would be a problem for my boyfriend that I used the blogs and forums on CS, I would stop using them as it wouldn't be worth for me to agitate my partner.

But from what I'm getting from your previous blogs, CS is not the only problem. No one is perfect and there are always some characteristics in a partner that are difficult to deal with (and I know what is out there alternatively), but - and that is me and not the same for others - I simply couldn't stick constant arguing and someone doubting me.

Hope things work out for you one way or the other Abby.
