Hey Smoky, I know the phrase you quoted is not your own, but I don't believe it. If you have loved, you could not have lost. You would have gained. So not loving now is always better than never to have loved at all. Loving can never be a loss. Whichever way you say it makes sense though!
Yes definitely, I would tell anybody with a "bad" laugh. Laughing is someting one learns by oneself. If one had incorrect table manners, one would need to be told it was not the correct way to eat. If one laughed in such a way to disgust a good percentage of the audience, yes I' d tell him/her to make them a better more presentable person. It is then up to them to change. Remember the proverbial "you can take your horse to the water, but you cannot make it drink.!"
Blind dates used to thrill me because of the challenge that they represented, but from my experience, they were mostly a waste of time. Most of the women were not my types, being too short, too fat, too this, too that, and mostly shy to the point of being boring. But the experiences helped. they were teaching experiences. like going to war and not knowing what the enemy were using, knives, pistols, sub machine guns etcc!!! So improvising, and finding a way out as fast as possible was all part of the game.
An extremely good therapy......if I could only swim. No that is not exactly the truth. I can swim, but prefer to stay in the shallow waters.
Regards sunbathing, I leave all that to you ladies, cos I carry my umbrella wherever I go. I am happy with my colour, and very much afraid of the sun's harmful rays.
You are right Uli. This is supposed to be a dating site, not a site for time wasters, who have nothing better to do than waste their time and ours with material that should be on some other site at best, or in the trash bin.....the real one, not the PC one.
Maybe it is precisely for that Lisajane....that they want to meet/date new people, but want to meet/date as many people as they can, and not get stuck with the first or second person they date. Going into a relationship is a very serious matter, and people who have got badly burnt from such experiences are very reluctant to enter into new obligations.
I go through the profiles of many singles. As soon as I read "looking for lasting serious relationship, or marriage, I skip to the next...not interested!
There are very few people on CS that I would ever contemplate of having a serious long term relationship with, but there have the same problem, they are afraid to go into such relationships
That is where your mistake was, lous*...er LouisH. You don't keep a marriage together by paying bills, and you don't keep a woman by your sise even if you tell her that the food was delicious. You keep a woman if you tell her, sorry, read that show her that you love her.
That should explain the farkin situation that you find yourself in today.
Hey Cosy, nothing is for life these days, not the jobs, not the men, nothing believe me. If you took things a step at a time, and tried to get to know somebody who was in for some time, you might have extended that time again and again until it became for life. But you can never guess how a voyage is going to end before starting it. Buy the tickets first, get on the train second and let yourself go third. It could be a long trip that lasts a lifetime.
Dear Pearl, how could you ever have any doubts about such things? Being a hypocrite is being untruthful, a doubleface, an outright liar.
Do you think you could be that instead of an honest person? I think that only people with serious complex problems are hypocrites. It is because they cannot accept themselves for what they are, and create false images of themselves, mainly to get accepted by others.
I would never be a hypocrite, and never say lies or be untruthful in whatever I say or do.
If my life was uninteresting, and kind of monotonous, at an early stage in my life, I would definitely prefer to meet someone who would spice up my life and shake it up, so to speak.
Once established in a kind of life, at middle age, I would say, I prefer to have no changes.
At the end of my useful working life, over 50, I would prefer someone who would make my life more peaceful.
