RE: something to think about

Hiya georgie, hope you and your kids are well.

Treating others as I would want to be treated is a given and I think if you want someone decent to come through that door and stay, you have to be decent yourself.

RE: In case no-one told you today

First day back after holidays is always terrible Biff.

Good night and sweet dreams though.

RE: In case no-one told you today

Thanks Biff, bed for me now. Heard this afternoon that we have to make a trip tomorrow at work. Dug an official dress out and hope it's not too much dust on it.

So Tru is his usual lovely self?

Enjoy that glass of wine, I would like some ice cream but will just go to bed now.

RE: Dont settle!

I couldn't be with someone I didn't love. Wouldn't be possible for me to be with someone just as companionship.

RE: In case no-one told you today

Sometimes words like this are needed Biff.

Being able to say the right thing at different times is a gift.

RE: Well, I've gone and done it.....

Hi Enigma, sorry to hear that. It was obvious that you liked him. I don't get it tbh. If he is a complete workaholic, it will be very difficult for him to meet someone that will accept that. You offered him your acceptance of his way of living and that he was still able to have someone special in his life. There won't be too many people willing to put up with a situation like that. The patience you gave him is a lot to offer.

It is hard enough to meet someone you like and you even mentioned amazing - jeez, don't just throw something like this away!

RE: Lastminute.don't!

Great, Kilkenny is a nice place.

Oh, and they have a new zipline in the 'hood.

I'll watch admiringly from the ground.

RE: Lastminute.don't!

Hey, welcome back Biff!

I fly Ryanair most of the time, especially since flights to Brussels are that cheap. Never heard of your crowd, but if I ever do, I'll avoid them. Hate hanging around airports but seeing that I usually get up at around 3-4 in the night to fly home, I sleep through most of the flights.

Let me know when you come to Ireland, would love to meet EVERYONE and if anyone wants to come to Kilkenny, I'll happily play tour guide.

RE: all played out

Hiya georgie,

I wouldn't take any of this serious and like you, say what is done, is done.

Think they are between women or short of choices and try everyone.

RE: Friends

Hiya Catfoot,

I have a good few acquaintances, but only a few people I call (and actually want to call) friends. I'm lucky with my family, I'm close to them. I trust my family and friends and know I can rely on them as they on me.

Making them my friends doesn't mean I agree on everything they do or say though. They are adults and make their own life choices.

RE: Make a wish

Yep, I do make wishes, but it's usually something practical.

But hey, he could come in handy.

Hope you'll have a great day wolfie.

RE: No, please don't make my heart beat fast :blushing

Find someone from Middle Europe you have things in common with.

RE: No, please don't make my heart beat fast :blushing

I think it is right to ask questions. If someone doesn't want to answer them, he knows you won't like the answers. Just don't try to interrogate someone. :converse:

It can be a cultural thing, where I'm from we talk BEFORE we start something, looking around the girls here, some are afraid to ask questions and hope he'll get attached after a while. I'm with someone from my own cultural background and actually HE asked me all the questions I usually would ask. No more questions after that.

RE: No, please don't make my heart beat fast :blushing

That's just my opinion - it is good that you know your preferences, but don't make it a list to be ticked - if I would have "stuck" with a rigid list, I wouldn't have been with someone that "ticked" my boxes in sooo many ways. Someone can be good for you without "ticking all the boxes" initially.

My opinion again, I don't think putting yourself under pressure and absolutely wanting to meet someone will do you any good. You will consider guys you probably wouldn't consider when keeping a level head. Meeting someone and falling in love should be fun after all. If it's not fun in the start, when do you expect it to be fun? After all the responsibilities might put additional pressure on a relationship?

Hope you'll find love and have FUN.

RE: No, please don't make my heart beat fast :blushing

Dating changes as you get older (that was for me in my late thirties).

I found that a lot of the people that didn't commit simply don't want to or can't - it is up to you to take your time and get to know someone to find out if someone is capable or want to have a relationship or just chasing the next skirt.

No one can help you with that, just something from my own viewpoint - when I was happy and content in my life, I - a) attracted a different kind of guys than when I was unhappy after my break-up, b) was more level-headed and could discern better who is compatible with me.

You are a good bit younger and I found that there were less guys with baggage out when around 30. Can you get out of your home environment that pressures you? Get a job transfer and live on your own and do your own thing?

RE: No, please don't make my heart beat fast :blushing

LS, you have 2 masters and that tells me you are a bright young woman - wadda think?

RE: Respect

Hiya Cat, Berry said it very well.

If you want respect, you have to respect others (and give others something to respect you).

Some people are digging their own hole and won't be getting out of it after a while. If they don't reflect on themselves, things won't change for them. Their problem though.

Molly made a good point as well, something I often here in Ireland is that "a child should be seen but not heard". Kids needs boundaries, but also respect imo.

RE: More or No More?

Do what is good for you and your future.

There is no guarantee if you meet someone, have kids etc. that this will be forever. You might need to fend for yourself and your kid(s) at some stage.

The better your qualifications, employment opportunities and income, the better.

Would it really bother you if a guy wouldn't be interested in an educated women? I have a masters and the type of guys I'm interested in appreciates someone driven and working hard. Some guys don't but I wouldn't be interested in that type of guy anyway.

Do your own thing and don't try to please someone all the time. Being educated and independent will get you more respect than being a clingy walkover imo.

RE: How can I feel better ?

It takes time to get to know someone and sometimes something unacceptable comes to light. It has happened to most people and I bet a good few know how that knot in your stomach feels.

Time is a great healer, grieve and take good care of you.

RE: How can I feel better ?

Take your time and grieve Abby.

Then treat yourself well, get out and do something different, meet new people and get busy - whenever you feel up for it.

In regards to him, do what's best for you. If it helps, cut contact, if you think there is a chance, let him text you and see how it goes.

RE: Twitching Muscles

Hi KN I do feel a lot better today to be honest, used to love playing badminton, but, haven't done that in years, I really do need to have a good think, im not tied to time, so, will have the opportunity to try different stuff. Obviously with clothes on

Good to hear you're feeling better wolfie, I know how it is not to be able to walk down stairs and have people in work asking me what type of accident I had cause I couldn't walk.

I tried different things as well and will have to have a look when I have a bit more time again. Being fit actually feels good.

RE: Twitching Muscles

I know I only stick with something that is fun. Doing too much and maybe hurting yourself isn't good.

Is there some kind of sports (with clothes on) you like to do that is fun? I always liked Zumba.

RE: Hypocrisy And Graffiti

Not sure about the bad publicity stuff on here Cat. It gets some people attention, but they are noticeably bemoaning the fact that they can't get anyone decent.

RE: The Senility Prayer

Good ones Jim, I like the one about life being unfair.

RE: A second rainbow.

Internet dating can be quiet an eye opener Ish.

RE: Makes you proud to be British

Some real gems there Biff.

Yep, can go completely blank and then right after put my foot into my mouth.

RE: Blogs Without A Narrative

There aren't a lot with a talent like this.

RE: so true and so often

I think simply being honest and upfront what someone wants would avoid a lot of disappointments.

RE: Blogs Without A Narrative

I don't mind the picture or video blogs, but the inscrutable one liners giving out about something.
