RE: Expectations. Part 1

1. Do you have any expectations in regards to your first date offline and in real life?
Yes, I'm honest about what I want and do expect the same. It can be that we don't hit it off, but I wouldn't meet someone to play with someone's feelings.

2. If yes, what are these?
Honesty - that's the only thing I would expect. Not a given when you meet someone of CS is my experience.

On the personality test, I'm a LOGISTICIAN (ISTJ-A). The description is fairly fitting.

RE: When your kids disapprove ...

Happy Mother's Day Biff.

My parents weren't always happy with my choices (but I don't think I was too far out). Anyway, hasn't stopped me from making them and they have never stopped their support to me.

Mum thankfully has found new hobbies and says she is willing to help with the teens, but she wasn't willing to bring up the kids full-time. Mum and my siblings all live at the home place and selling that up would be unimaginable for us, but it's not the case with your place in Scotland. Sounded that you would have moved anyway and what you do with your job and love life is your own business (I presume she didn't asked you when she moved jobs or started a relationship?

I can image that it hurts and it's not fair from your daughter. You don't do these things to hurt or inconvenience her and what you do with your life and your happiness is your business. She doesn't change her life to cater to you and can't expect the same from you.

Hope she sees sense before you drift apart too far.

Much happiness to you Biff.

RE: DISNEY

Hi Wen, I loved to watch the star trek series years ago.

Whatever interests you to take you away from your sorrows or simply gives you joy is good.

If you like animated films, I saw this summer parts of "Song of the Sea" from Cartoon Saloon and liked it very much. Maybe have a look if you can get some of their films.

RE: Jealousy - what is it good for?

On your scenario - I wouldn't worry with himself. If he wouldn't mention it himself, I probably would ask him who it was. I have to give out business cards to colleagues on a regular basis (work only) - I would assume it would be a business thing. He has never given me any reason to be jealous and I trust him. I do not want to be with someone where I would worry where he is and what he is up to.

RE: Reflections Of My life

Sounds like a great party last night Cat!

RE: Where to go to meet a prospective lover/soul mate ?

I think meeting someone through friends, acquaintances and social occasions is the way to go. Joining a group of like-minded people where it is about sharing common interests, getting out and about and meeting people is better than "go hunting". It gives the chance to get to know people over a period of time and gives you an idea about their character etc.

RE: My bf still open his dating site profile..

Sorry for your loss Kasih. One of the worst things that happens in life is loosing family members.

With the guy - early days, you will have to give it time to get to know each other and see how it goes. For your own sake, maybe try not to get too involved emotionally until you know this will go somewhere or not.

If you want this to work, go off the website yourself would be my advise. I don't date off here but I wouldn't like it if someone would still be on a dating website looking around (I take it he doesn't use blogs etc.?).

Concentrate on getting to know each other and see if this could work. If he is serious, he will stop using the dating website and will tell you when you talk about it. If he would continue to use it, it would tell me something about how serious he is with you (or not).

Best of luck.

RE: Reflections Of My life

Happy Birthday Cat!

Go your way, make a decision and stick to it. Countless "what if's" just make people dissatisfied which won't contribute anything positive to their life (or to the people around them).

RE: HUMAN BEHAVIOUR

Every gun can kill. School shooting no. 18, countries where people don't have access to gun (and don't want them or feel the need to have them) simply don't have your countries problems.

I have never seen more illogical reasons that guns don't kill etc. then on here.

Stay safe Wen.

RE: My Valentine

Enjoy your evening Cat, that's what it should be about.

RE: Needs and wants between men and women

Someone that is not a bitterball and makes assumptions will do for me.

RE: Does True Love still exist ???

It is up to you to determine someone's character and suitability for a relationship.

With the other complaints - simply don't be a walking wallet and maybe don't look for someone that could be your daughter agewise.

RE: Ode To Emmycat

It is strange to come into a quiet house when you are used to have Emmycat greeting you.

I know that when our dog died, my mum decided not to get another one (because of her age, the dog was 14 when she died and mum was worried that she would die or couldn't look after a dog as she gets older). I think it would have been good for her.

I hope you'll find a cat you like to adopt who will bring some "life" into your household.

RE: Ode To Emmycat

Sorry to hear you lost your companion loulou.

RE: Divorced?

I can understand that your sister can invite her for HER birthday - but why to the family thing?

It's your birthday celebration as well on Sunday and your wishes should be taken into account.

If you would stay away from these 2 events, they probably would see the light after that.

Don't forget to tell them that it is rude to ignore your wishes.

Sorry, I don't get it. I wouldn't inflict that on anyone and I wouldn't accept that from my family. I still can remember that for my kiddies birthday my mum insisted that I had to invite the neighbours kid I absolute loathed. I was never invited to hers and I had several discussions with my mum why I had to invite her (she told me to there would be no party if I didn't). I would not do that to anyone in my family, no matter the age.

RE: Why Women Love Dancing AKA shaking their behind...

It's just fun when the music is good.

RE: Divorced?

Cat, it is your birthday and your family shouldn't even have gotten involved and talked to her. You don't want her there and she shouldn't be invited, end off.

RE: Divorced?

Took you a long time to put your foot down Cat.

I cannot understand your family and how you put up with it that long. My family are not hostile to my siblings ex, but they wouldn't get the idea to invite them to family functions, especially against their wishes.

Things like the children's holy communion or wedding have to take place with both families around but I don't think that someone's family event should include someone's ex.

RE: EARTH TO EARTH

Hi Wen, English isn't my native language and sometimes I do look up stuff if I don't know the meaning (or if I want to use a specific word and can't think of it).

It improves my vocabulary and I think that's a good thing.

Have a lovely weekend yourself.

RE: When you are expected to pay for lunch or dinner on the first date offline. Online dating No.2

Over 100 emails - some people are good at keeping a straight face to get into someone's knickers.

This is simply part of dating, I have given my phone number to guys that seemed ok when talking to on a night out and the texts I had in the morning were completely unacceptable to me (I don't give out my phone number just to everyone btw). That's simply the way it is and you most likely will encounter this repeatedly (I have).

People want what they want and you won't be able to change their behaviour. All you can do is look after yourself, block them and don't let it get you down.

RE: Bad Experiences With Men

People change and people can deceive.

It takes time to get to know someone and sometimes it does emerge that someone is not a good person after a period of time.

To get to know someone you have to give them time and the opportunity to do so. Just for myself, I'm not into being a doormat and don't tolerate behaviour I think is unacceptable for any length of time. If I figured out someone isn't ok, I didn't hang around.

I haven't been treated badly by an ex. However, there was a reason why someone became an ex - no one is perfect and everyone has a side to them that can be problematic. I always knew who to keep away from though.

RE: When you are expected to pay for lunch or dinner on the first date offline. Online dating No.2

HI Stargazer, do not take such emails personally.

I did in the start but I figured out quick enough that there are a ton of chancers on here that try to get a leg over anything.

See it as someone saving you time - anything not correct, just hit the block button.

RE: Look At My Beautiful Lawn

RE: CSs surprises me

Welcome to the world of internet dating.

People can be anything they want and mess around people without any regard to someone's feelings.

Nothing surprises me here anymore. Set boundaries as to what you expect or look somewhere else would be my suggestion.

RE: Look At My Beautiful Lawn

There is no such thing as bad publicity Cat.

RE: Look At My Beautiful Lawn

Hiya Bea.

Ahhhw, poor you Cat.

I could do with some of the sun - for the last 2 weeks the contractor is announcing to come out to take out the hedge and moving lots of soil, but it's too wet.

RE: Look At My Beautiful Lawn

Looks like she can get close enough to kick you for comments like that Cat.

RE: Look At My Beautiful Lawn

Jeepers, want a bit of my road frontage?

Lawn, yeah ok, but I wouldn't be looking at the lawn if I were you.

RE: Are you selling yourselves?

Yes Molly, it's not only men on dating sites where some can't spell or don't put emphasis on correct spelling and wording. I joined one of the local Facebook groups were things are sold, and some of the postings there make me cringe...

There could be some matches made in heaven if they figure out what the other person is on about.

RE: Are you selling yourselves?

Thanks, all good Wen.

Not everyone is truthful - that applies to well written and badly written profiles. Both will be apparent after a while I think.

If someone isn't able or can't be bothered to put together one decent sentence on their profile, it wouldn't entice me to get in touch. I haven't had any decent conversation with a guy that had a illegible profile text.
