OMG - I just realized what this thread was about ...... sorry Darren for overwhelming with a kegful of kisses! Enjoy your tea and I'll remind myself to read the start of the thread before posting!
Sent and received a couple of Valentine hello's and well wishes, but no I didn't actually ask anyone to be my Valentine, nor was I asked. Actually don't feel much in the romantic mood anyways - life has some hurdles that I need to sort through first, but friendships and laughs are always good for the soul.
I liked my horoscope for my birthday - thus far not much of it has happened! I'm still waiting. It was actually interesting to note that another one I read matched more with my actual day and my mood. Personally though, I don't take much stock in them, but if the lucky numbers are ever listed I might buy a ticket! One never knows. Its all merely speculative.
hhm ... I have to wonder. I figure if he was truly interested then he would at least write me here. I actually told him that CS recommends that people interact through here only for their safety .... he obviously doesn't understand that there are so many weirdo's out there that one should be at least a little cautious. The only thing I don't like about MSN etc. and emails addresses, is that it doesn't appear that you can block anyone anymore.
Well I just had someone block me because I refused to give out my msn address to him right away. He actually contacted me twice. I certainly don't understand how someone can complain that people block him without an explanation and he turns around and does the same thing. Obviously someone who can't be bothered to write and get to know someone first BEFORE asking for an msn address truly isn't that interested. I don't think I was rude or anything. I suppose I'll be listed on his profile as well along with another lady, but she was smart enough to block him first. In my time here, I'm certainly seen all kinds of people!!
Enjoy your rest. A fresh perspective is always good for our hearts/minds. It can become easy to get discouraged, but I remind myself that I'm seeking one man. The others who cross my path are merely there for a short time .... I'm looking for one to walk down the road with my holding my hand.
If you're not having fun, then perhaps take a break and get out and do things you enjoy. Sounds like you are trying too hard, and maybe people can sense this when they are with you. Relax, enjoy life, make some new friends, network etc. ..... a relationship based on friendship first is a good way to start. No pressures, but simply enjoying each others company. Good luck.
I think there may be some who give their true opinion rating, while there are many others who simply seem to give a high rating to receive one in return. Heck, I've seen people soliciting to have pets rated! OMG - its too funny.
Some people will set up totally separate email accounts for their online friends and I've even heard some do the same with facebook. Personally I find that the ones that do ask for an outside email address will stop writing once you say that you wish to continue using this site for correspondence. I do actually wish that CS would have the option that you could have private pictures, so for example in this case, one could decide who to show their picture to or not.
I would probably give it about 6 months ...... because in that time you can learn about a person, without the pressure. Friendship is a great base to start a relationship. Sometimes I think we try to rush ahead too fast. As well, though, I'd probably continue dating others - you don't want to put your life on hold because someone else can't make up their mind. It can get complicated and I've had times in life where the last thought was dating ......... so I get where they are coming from. Good luck.
Oh the "they's" again! Now one thing I might feel guilty about in the actual amount of chocolate I may or may not have consumed in my lifetime, but never while eating it!
I enjoy both ..... I don't want to live in the boonies thousands of miles away from everything, but I certainly enjoy a residence where its more quiet, peaceful and nature around, but within a short distance to shopping etc. I do prefer a small town atmosphere, but without everyone getting into your business either.
Save and invest in your education. $45 a day won't get you very far in life. As well, you have no guarantee of minimum 3 appts a day. You also need to factor in deductions from your paycheck etc. ......... its amazing how fast money can disappear. Once you get your own place, it will be even worse, so maybe look at sharing a place to help keep the costs down. Get your numbers right as well - your math is way off. At 45 per day you'll be lucky to clear $1000 a month depending on what is deducted from your check.
The thing is hind sight is just that - the opportunity to look at things again and wonder ....... yes, there are things I may have done differently, but then again maybe not for what would those outcomes have been? Better/worse - I don't know.
As well, sometimes life isn't always about choices which you have implied - sometimes things happen that aren't our choice and we simply have to make the best of what has been dealt us - therein lies the choice.
I think we all do the best with what we know at the time, and hopefully continue to make better decisions/choices as we mature and grow.
I totally admit to not being a morning person .............. ie. jump up and zip about. It all depends on my routine, but usually I'm awake before the alarm goes off, but I'll still hit the snooze button a few times as I simply enjoy snuggling under the covers.
