Hey, KappyKorn, the line is not the issue, it's not having anything, I mean, nothing, written in their profile. But, a few more words in the email wouldn't hurt, either.
Hey, maybe I could one day aspire to being the Ques... I mean the one who answers the tough questions!
...to an email from someone who expresses an interest... like, "liked your profile, wanna chat?" (We've all heard that one before, I'll bet.)
and so you have a boo at their profile, only to see they've put, "not good at talking about myself -- ask me and I'll tell you"?
Don't most of us hate that part, the dreaded writing of the profile? But most of us, make the effort, and then.. do we also have to play at being the interviewer and think of things to ask someone who hasn't made that effort? How do you respond?
Actually, I agree with you on this, Airliner. If we want equality, then it would be courtesy to leave the seat up after we use it, as well as the other way around.
That way, you're sure to have a clean seat when you need it!
Don't know where that expression came from. I think of it as a chip on their shoulder, issues they haven't dealt with that could seep into a new relationship. It's a metaphor.
Your 27 year marriage, if it is truly in the past, is not going to be "baggage".
I don't want to be naive and stupid, but I don't want to be overly suspicious and never take a chance, either. I hope I'm being careful and observant. To this day, I have never met someone who wasn't genuine. I have also never met someone I haven't gotten to know quite well first.
That's entirely different -- correct me if I'm wrong, Hugz -- Open relationship impies that the two are agreed upon seeing other people, even sleeping with other people. Not for me btw.
Hi Speedy. It is my opinion that independence, as stated in profiles, means being able to take of oneself and not being dependent on anyone for their survival, be it financialy or emotionally. This does not mean that they wouldn't like to love and be loved by another person and be of great importance to that person. The way I see it, independence means standing on your own two feet while loving another.
How would you respond...
---writing furiously---No, that's good for starters! Many thanks, QQ, er, I mean UniqueMom -- just doesn't sound the same!
