RE: How many really want

well, having just separated from my ex recently, I have to say that there were some good times in our marriage. Relationships can be hard work. BUT if you meet the right one, and you truly love each other, then I say go for it. I think I have found her myself... and I refuse to let the ex control me. there are a lot of people out there that think marriage is just a piece of paper. NOT SO! marriage is a willingness to make a commitment to one person. if everything I hope happens, marriage is something I'd be looking to persue.

RE: Have you ever actually met someone online and if so, how did it go?

funny you ask. I met a wonderful woman on this site. I am sure she is the one for me. the funny part is that she flowered me first. All I can tell you is we have spent every weekend together since our first meeting, even though she lives over an hour away. The best advice I can give is to take a chance. You may make a friend, or the one connection we are all hoping for. don't give up. I was only on this site for a short time(1 month) andtried to be active on the forums. that's the best way for people to get to know who you really are. I am a firm believer in total honesty, and I think others appreciate it. good luck!

Don't give up... there is someone for everyone

Just wanted to let y'all know that it is possible to meet someone on CS and have success. I have only been on here a month and I have met my soulmate. We have so much in common, its weird. I have been on other sites and had no luck. just believe it is possible, and you are halfway there.

RE: HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New year, all you CS'ers... I just had the happiest in quite a while... watch my posts for updates... She could be "THE ONE".

How many dates?

How many dates does it take to get to know someone well enough to seriously consider them as your boyfriend/girlfriend (ie.go steady).

RE: Landlords and their responsibilities...

Sorry if my post wasn't pertinent to your case, but I did specify in Ontario. My dad owned several apartment buildings and did most of the repairs himself. Just thought that the laws might be similar down east.

RE: Landlords and their responsibilities...

There is one other option, at least in Ontario. If you are willing to pay to get it fixed, you can legally deduct this from your rent. All repairs are to be done in a timely manner, and 7 days isn't timely. The landlord has no recourse against you as long as you document your attempted contact with him. Hope this helps.

RE: Hi From the Okanagan

Welcome. I'm a bit of a newbie myself. The response I've received from this site is great. The people seem to be pretty down to earth, and have helped me out with some good advice. Best of luck to you.

What would you do?

Well, I helped, or tried to anyway. She washed her car the night before, then couldn't get it to latch when her friend got in on the passenger side. She drove to work having her friend hold the door closed. I arrived at her work, walked over, opened and closed the passenger door, and it worked. Had to remind her, again, about moisture and below freezing temps. Once the inside of the door warmed up it worked fine. Thanks for all your input.

What would you do?

we were married for 8+ years, no kids, and to be honest, she was unfaithful. I am having a hard time dealing with my feelings when I see her. I am upset, not angry, that she chose to do what she did, but will NOT get back with her. That being said, do you think I should avoid her, or be human and help? I've always helped people when possible, but do I put my feelings on the back burner when most of our relationship was helping her? I realize I can't tell you the whole story here, but should I have helped her or not?

What would you do?

Something happened today and I want to ask all of you a question. If your "ex" has a problem not involving money or kids, do you go out of your way to help. I am trying to maintain a civil relationship, and she knows I have the week off, so should I help her?

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

good points all. So you'd put up with an hour or more? where do you draw the line... and do you think he/she might be doing it on purpose at some point.

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

yes I could... and it just so happens I receive $10 in coupons for there for Christmas... so when can I do that?

RE: you didn't like the gift

now what are you thinking? wait, you can't post that here

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

I guess we've exausted this topic.. be ready for future ones!

RE: you didn't like the gift

what am I doing well? typing? Not bad for a truck driver?

RE: people who show up

Hey, lock the door, move the car to a neighbors house.. turn off all the lights and don't answer the door. Seriously, even if you don't like them, it's the price we pay for being social animals. There are all kinds of excuses you can use to get away... get ready to go out before they get there and tell them it's an inconvienient time... you are on your way out. etc.. You don't have to play along.

RE: you didn't like the gift

sorry, should have read INTERESTING... fingers don't always move as fast as my brain.

RE: you didn't like the gift

now that's an inretesting question. Regift it? depends on what it is. Is it useful to someone else? Can you think of any other use for it? Is it just ugly and you don't want it around?

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

No it hasn't, she's still sleeping on the bed..lol

Christine, are you getting shy now? and I'm glad more men are thinking about it.

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

Inquiring minds want to know. Specifically mine

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

now now..that has to wait till we know each other better! what did you have in mind?

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

c'mon people... shy?

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

so how about the same for question for the ladies? Would you wait for him if he just wasn't organized enough to be ready?

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

ok.. you don't know me well enough... yet...too new on this site.. but I hear stories from the young guys I work with and thank god I was raised with morals and values... watch the forums for me.. it's kinda fun

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

What kinda guy you think I am????

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

That's a start... I think we should wait... not out of desparation though . There's a reason I specified first date.. If you thought she was worth going out with, waiting can help build the anticipation. Not that I'm expecting anything from a first date other than having fun and finding out if there is compatability.

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

I'm talking about just not being ready... not the extenuating circumstances... and the women are the only ones answering...hmmm. are the guys not willing to venture an opinion?

Here's one that could cause an uprising from the ladies

Men... here's a scenerio for you. Going on that first date. You show up at her door, but she says she's not ready. How long should you wait for her to get ready before deciding she's too "high maintenance" for you?
