RE: Money

Morning Z
You're absolutely right, debt and finances in general can kill romance very quickly so better keep it out

RE: Money

I keep money out of my relationships. I'm financially independant and I'd expect the same of my partner. Simple really.

RE: NZ vs SA

Goooooooo Proteas
(But I do feel a bit for the Black Caps; I learned about cricket when living in NZ )

Stony, cheers!

RE: To Skype or not to Skype

Z, that was a joke; I really don't care how people see me and I'm quite comfy with my just out of bed look
I don't believe in getting close over the internet; you only get to know a person in real live conversation and spending time together... talking online is only to decide if I would like to meet the person.

RE: To Skype or not to Skype

Good morning Z
I don't have a web-cam; I don't see the added value.
I only use Skype to talk to family and friends I already know.

And at least I can sit behind my screen in my 'just out of bed' look and look drop dead gorgeous in my imagination

For me it has nothing to do with fear; I just don't care to have a vision, I rather meet up in person.

Enjoy your Saturday

RE: Beautiful sky

In the plus is actually not bad at all
Here it has been very mild last week, up to +15, but very grey and drizzly. I'm glad the frosty days are over though - hopefully.

RE: Would you...

Yes, I do understand and like that saying... I actually think I heard my Nana use it... a grootmoeders wijsheid

The temp is very nice, it has been about 10 - 15 degrees last week, but very grey and drizzling. Hope spring will get here soon; I already bought some daffodils to brighten up my room.
How is it at your end?

RE: Beautiful sky

Beautiful images Nevica
The place looks very peaceful, yet very cold

RE: Would you...

Stony, nice to see you too, rhyming and all
You're right about using tact; for me it would depend on the topic as well as the person though
And yes, we do mellow down with age... I tend to ask questions now, instead of criticising

RE: Would you...

PS Would I rather snuggle up to a furry animal or a biker? Tough one

RE: Would you...

Hi Stony
I'm definitely more rude in person than I am in email (whàt even mòre rude?? Yes, it's possible )
I call it being honest and direct, someone else might call it rude... most people don't like hearing an awful truth or aren't open for a view that's not their own.

Ofcourse I'm not deliberately rude or trying to hurt peoples feelings, but I can't be bothered with etiquette if it says I need to lie.

I do like Guy Kawasaki though, he has lots of interesting stuff to say

Happy Friday

RE: For Becca and Livin

Very inspiring!

RE: Would you? Could you? Have you?

Hi Z
Not a bad idea at all and I have been welcoming virtual friends in my part of the world, both men and women. Also visited some friends abroad as well and it is nice to be shown around by a local; I got to see Barcelona from an all different side.

I would go a little by my friends taste and combine the best of Holland and Belgium together.
Brussels is best for city walks watching Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings, followed by a look at the more touristy Grand Place, a visit to some of the finest chocolatiers in the world (tasting included) and a concert in one of the trendy little cafes around.
Then there are Bruges and Ghent, both beautiful cities and the Ardennes with visits to medieval towns and beer tasting at one of the monestaries Belgium is also known for.

In the Netherlands I would do Rotterdam, Utrecht and Maastricht and a road trip along the coast of Zeeland; I know all the less touristy places there.

Ofcourse it would depend on the length of the stay and the taste of the guest; with a woman, a day of shopping somewhere would definitely be in - Breda is great for shoe shopping

Ofcourse Paris and London are also only slightly over an hour away... the sky is the limit

Is this something you had in mind?

I feel like going on holiday now

RE: dating site or another facebook?

Hi Jason
I don't agree with the previous posters; had a peek and don't think there is anything scary or wrong with your profile, apart from maybe you could expand a bit more on the person you are. Ofcourse this is totally personal and I doubt it would make a lot of difference.

In order to receive messages, you need to send some; I think a lot of girls still wait till the guy makes the first move

Do agree with Becca though; just get out there, meet girls and relax. Best of luck to you

RE: Many Thanks!

I totally agree with you Diamond, and it's the reason for sticking around and not giving up on humanity

RE: A New Day

Hi Diamond
It's very normal to feel that way.
I ended up in Belgium in a similar way and here I am, just me too.
I don't mind most days, but some days it can hit me too.

Just think about what you really want, move some place else or not... and see what your options are.

Keep your dreams alive as well, it helps lift your spirits.

RE: Looking for single girlfriends to hang out with

Hi NJGirl
I know exactly what you mean and dealt with it when I moved to Brussels. I placed an add in the personals section of an expat online magazine I was reading, asking for girls who were tired of dating plonkers, to contact me

Got lots of responses and I actually organized quite a few ladies nights out. I made some really good friends this way.

Good luck and go for it, I'd say.

RE: What a panacea for some boys!

Owww honey... you know size doesn't matter
Now... give me your car keys

Spd, you look very nice as a red head

RE: I'm done for now.

Hi Ham
I stopped dating over a year ago and had more fun ever since; guess it's all a bit more relaxed.
Think you did pretty well and the dating thing simply isn't everybodys cup of tea
At least you met a lady that might be right for you; that's more most of us can say

Just chill, make friends and enjoy your morning rides, they sound lovely.

RE: I got a new vaccuum cleaner yesterday

Now I could make a comment about T-bagging with passion, but I'll refrain
for baggy vacuum cleaners

RE: to marry or not to marry

Thought you might Stony, thought you might

RE: to marry or not to marry

Guadal
I don't believe in marriage and will never marry again.
As for staying together, yes I would support my partner through bad times as well, but it would depend on the situation.
If he, for instance, would have gambled away our money and we'd be in debt because of that, he's out the door.

I've always been financially independant and would like my partner to be too.

Sickness, I'd stay, jail, depends on the crime, has no job; I'd give him a certain time to get one, but only if we'd be living together.

So I don't want to marry any CS'er... wouldn't mind test driving a few though - I mean getting to know

Which of the CS ladies would you like to marry?

RE: still feeling great

Just go with it Daniel

RE: Alaska

All nice, but isn't it freezing out there most of the time?
I wouldn't mind a visit though, if only for the nature; beautiful!

RE: Practical woman or evel one?

Spd
Think I'm more the practical than the evil type
What would I do with all these houses?

Stony
Most touches of evil come in different levels... I haven't seen men complain much about most levels

RE: Dear Amir

Diamond, I do go out and don't mind going alone, mostly to concerts. I still like to hang around here as well, since I come to talk to people I wouldn't meet in real life.
And you meet weirdo's everywhere
Just have fun and keep blogging

Aswina
As usual you make a great point

Enjoy your Sunday ladies

RE: Dear Amir

Hi Diamond
Getting drunk on $5, that would probably be heaven

Sorry you got kicked out, but don't let it stop you from raising some hell elsewhere

Don't let the sad cases get to you

RE: Why do women spend hours in front of the mirror?.

Blacka, I don't think they do; women simply like to look nice and make a good impression when going out. They probably care more about the opinion of other women

RE: people judge book by cover insteading of looking i

In order for me to want to read a book, the cover needs to look enticing; it's about the entire package.

RE: Why do women spend hours in front of the mirror?.

Blacka07
Personally I don't spend that much time in front of the mirror, since I hardly use make up and I always know what to wear
Married women might do so to impress their husband, why slack off after getting married?
Or does your friend mean they want to impress other men than their husband?
