I am a strong woman, too, and I probably scare alot of men off....
However, I opened up more to what kind of guy I would date.....such as age, race, how far away he might be..etc, etc. You might want to loosen up a bit and not be too strict with what you are looking for. A person can have such narrow criteria that there is too slim a chance to meet someone
My kids are half Vietnamese and I don't remember any of the kids using kid chopsticks, but that was in the 1980s. My kids and all the Asian kids could use regular chopsticks by the time they were 4 for sure! It involves a few different muscles in the hands that a fork user doesn't develop. I could always use them just fine since I was about 10 or so myself! I find it easier to eat tossed green salad with them! I used to use Chinese soup spoons too.
Just be yourself. He has to love you for who you are. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. If you wish to become a better cook, you can take a cooking class. Perhaps your significant other will go with you. Get an easy to follow cookbook. Crock pots are easy! Just put the food in and leave it to slow cook for several hours. It usually comes out moist and delicious; not much can go wrong. I even do the Thanksgiving turkey that way and it is never dry!
I"ve done the book reading thing which killed the moment, and one time I said I was tired or something, and that really killed the moment. The guys really want us to be into it or it is a disappointment for them
Many Asian people are small, but some of them are tall, like the Mandarins in north China. My son is Vietnamese and one of his uncles was 5 feet 11 inches tall, and another uncle still in Vietnam is 6 feet 4 inches tall, and they are not small boned. My best friend married a Vietnamese guy who is also bigger boned and around 5 feet 10 or 11 inches tall or so. Some of the Koreans are very small though, although some of them can be tall as well. It just depends....there are small Germans and there are big boned, tall Germans too. There are some very tall Africans and there are some very small tribes as well; can't remember what the ones who played in The Gods Must be Crazy, were, but there are the pygmies too.
I miss the companionship, and someone to go places with, the compliments, the touching, the cooking....but most of all.....I miss the romping! Just being honest! Well, it was the best part of the relationship
I once had an ex do that, and it is annoying! I think the person just wants to make themselves look good to others, even though it's dishonest and makes them look like a fool! I guess it is arrogance?
For me, it is someone I'm attracted to, and it isn't just looks, but the whole person which includes his behavior, the way he interacts with me, his demeanor and the chemistry between us
Being yourself and if there is chemistry/attraction for each other. And meet in a place where you can talk and get to know each other, not in a movie theater or anywhere where you could not speak.
If a guy is too serious....and it's all doom and gloom........I don't want him. He's a re-ject, simple as that. It's the guy who smiles and has a healthy, positive outlook on life that wins with me
No, no, I will not let you decide as to whether I am "normal" or not....I will continue to be my "unique" self.....but just to be sure, I'll ask my therapist....
The reason I want a man who laughs at times ----not a though---is I want someone who is emotionally healthy who does not take life too seriously, is not depressed, negative, abusive or cynical. If he cannot I'm not interested! When I look at a profile photo, I need to see a smile or at least a contented look and kind eyes.....a "bad", hard, weird, gloomy, tired or dull expression repels me
I agree. I will tell him privately I'm not happy with what is happening...then sit back and wait to see how he handles it. He either sinks or swims....
Woww, now that woman was just a wee bit too much Good riddance! This LD guy I'm romancing had some woman friend try to break us up, and he now refers to her as "that crazy woman".... and he blocked her so she cannot contact him anymore
I respond similarly to the way you do. I do let the guy know I'm not happy with the woman's behavior.....the rest is up to him. If he doesn't react appropriately, game over. There was one time I had been dating a man for a couple months. One night I was at a danceclub and ran into him---he was with another woman he had told me about. He came over to me to say "hi". The other woman was pretty jealous and came strutting over, and asked/demanded "do you know who I am?" I casually replied, "yes, you're Mary" b/c she fit the description of this woman he had told me about. Then, I got on the elevator.....leaving him to his date. About an hour later, he came over to my place. That woman had a thing for him (he had previously told me about her), but he preferred me. (as a matter of fact, he had wanted to go out with me that night, but I already had the plans to go to the danceclub with my best friend). It was kinda funny when about a year later he and I were together in another club and we ran into her there. We were definitely a couple by then and he just stayed with me.

someone was trying to mess with me, and I told my partner about it, and he asked for the guys' phone number. I told him I'd handle it myself, and I did
Have you ever had a problem with some other female trying to flirt with your man, make a pass at him, try to go after him or just jealous of you guys in general? How did you handle it? How did your guy react? Were you satisfied with his response to the woman? or towards you? Describe
I've never been married (so far), but I believe it is a personal choice--no one should be forced into it. The two people involved choose how, when, and where to do it. They choose how to behave in it, and how to treat their partner. They choose whether to stay in it or to get back out of it. Simple as that, but apparently not easy. I don't know how people manage it.
RE: having high expectations + being strong woman
