Lady, try Altavista’s babelfish. It takes ages to learn a new language.
Try to learn and concentrate on words and phrases that you might need every day, like:
“I speak little Spanish”, “Good morning”, “Good night”, “Wake up”, “You’re late” school, cupboard, bathroom, bedroom, bed, “Dinner is ready”, drink, soap, towel/s, water, beer, “You’re drunk!”, washing machine, glass, shower, fridge, door, television, clothing, antidisestablishmentarianism, “Hello”, “See you later”, “Have you learned any damned English yet?” , “You dress like a tart”, “ My hovercraft is full of eels”, etc.
With the amount of trouble I’m having in finding pencils, rubbers and rulers today makes me think that there is an octopus studying to be a draftsman lurking in the office.
I’m off for a meeting with some pan-headed client that needs stabbing through the head with a pickaxe.
Whilst I’m prepared to admit that inviting a lady out to dinner can be construed as an icebreaker of sorts, I cannot see a relationship - that should be built on solid foundations of mutual, trust, devotion and respect - being made up entirely of dining out RK.
Shame you won’t invite me to dinner you beefy hunk *batting eyelids suggestively*
Actually, I eat like vacuum cleaner with teeth. So I'll spare you the horrors ;)
I'll print this post and go and read to my friend over his grave.
I’m seeing a lot of contradictions in that post.
"Expecting something in return, and being upset and angry when your generosity is not returned by an individual is selfish and petty minded - just don't treat that person again, smile and move on!"
Why move on then? If you're not expecting anything in return in a relationship then you should be happy when you get nothing...so why move on?
Love, respect and friendship are like a girdle – they stretch both ways. They have to, otherwise something has to break.
I had a friend who believed that if he gave, then at some point in time he would get something in return without ever asking for it – he believed that the reciprocation was automatic which, in this case, wasn’t.
He didn’t read the signs properly and kept giving more and more of his time to an unproductive relationship until he found himself in a hole from which he didn’t have enough mental strength to crawl out.
If you cannot keep some love for yourself, at least keep some self-respect.
But if you look at these people who say “single is so good” and then see how they behave with others of the opposite gender don’t you notice a change? They still flirt don’t they? They still try to attract attention to themselves no?
You can be single BUT still be in a state of emotional connectedness with a particular person (be it over the internet or at the local snail squashing club) and the other way round: be in a “relationship” but with no emotional strings attached.
At the end very few people really want to be by themselves.
Maybe what some people really mean when they say “Being single is the best thing that ever happened to me” is “Being emotionally unattached to someone is….."?
Chuck Norris would probably do a roundhouse kick to get rid of the bug, but being more conventional and down to earth, I would just use a plank of wood.
*spitting in his coffee to give it a frothy cappuccino look*
Is that it? Laugh it off?
Me and Jacko (AND his rubber tree) racked our brains trying to figure out how to get the good apples at the top and I got busted lower than an imp for suggesting to chop or burn the tree down (both reasonable and proven recommendations), now you’re saying that it’s ok to just laugh it off?
You’re not going to ask him if he’d make the effort to get to the good, juicy, crunchy, shiny apples?
This coffee tastes odd...I think it needs more spit.
As someone else recommended you could always send a flower or private message to someone and tell them that you liked their profile or their forum posts – people like being flattered so they are bound to reply even with a simple “thanks”.
Or alternatively, you can write:
“Hi, I’ve just been released from a maximum security prison for the criminally insane were I spent most of the time stamping number plates and weaving baskets. However I am now totally reformed. Say that again and I’ll drill your kneecaps. Is this your mother’s address? Sorry, slight relapse…”
Mind you, it doesn’t always work and it tends to put some people off. Can’t think why.
