I am so glad that I met this guy before telling him more about myself and my life and flirting with future dreams with him on the phone. When the date was over, it was over.
He wore sunglasses indoors in his picture. I wasn't sure why, until I saw him. He asked "Am I what you expected?" I said "You look different than your picture." He said "It must be the glasses".
I talked to a guy on the phone about 3 times before I met him and was really excited to do so. And when I met him, he was not like his picture portrayed. We went out, I was nice and conversational, but it was a traumatic experience for me. Ergo, if someone lives close enough to me, I'd rather meet him first. I said way more than I would have on the phone had I known what he was really like.
Hey sweetheart, please start up a thread for us to talk about important things. This discussion here about proper social behavior, the various other threads about love and relationships, dealing with children, finding humor in our sometimes painful lives - well, sheeit, those are all just - what - not important?
The path/paths I've chosen are so different than my sisters. The last time I was with my entire family - which was the first time in 5 years (because of me - of course), I a couple of times saw my three sisters standing together looking my way and conversing.
My children all understand what my family has done to me. I make them work things out and they can get along really well. They compliment and encourage each other often. It's sweet.
As a middle child, I was pretty much left out and had to deal with my problems on my own. I learned by watching how to communicate with others. Often middle children are mediators.
I definitely see the difference birth order has made in my children. We bring it up and discuss it often.
I think there are more oldest on psychiatric couches than other birth orders. Expectation and all that......But then, aren't most engineers firsts? Most entertainers lasts?
You are not very fun to hang around, Poolak. Please, please would you calm down. I make mistakes a LOT!!! I accept them and move on. You made some spelling mistakes. You did. It's okay!!!!
You started a thread because you wanted to make friends, is that right? Well, honey, we really are trying. But you are being no fun.
My daughter gets teary eyed when she hears her dad's and my "song". It was "Yes it's true, I am happy to be stuck with you." (Who's that guy - the one who sings "...the heart of rock and roll is still beating..."
Anyway, I want my new "our song" to be Still The One by Orleans. ....Well, when I have the other half of the "our", that is.
RE: do you think men or women have it easier when it comes to dating?
Do you "have" to? Would you prefer the women do the hunting? That's an honest question.
