RE: Will you fly over?

It depends strongly on the situations.
I would fly/drive/travel by other transportation within reasonable distance, without making it a big issue. I would kind of expect the other site to do the same. Meeting in third place for the first time would also work for me.

I would even consider meeting someone I would be trully interested in from other continent if he would have to at least theoreetical freedom to move to EU.
I would not travel to meet someone out of EU if he would be bounded with his continent or country as strong as I am, e.g. having a child whose other parent live there and they are strongly attached.


But, I kind of do the initiall selection regarding distance (EU). So that's only theory.

Yet, I see some of you guys here - do seem to like each other a lot but living in different continents. If it would happen to me I would give it a try unless my economical situation wouldn't allow me to. So I would suggest you "move your asses" :). Could be just vacation, could turn to something great.

RE: What is the most whimsical excuse you have for breaking up with someone?

He had long toes nails. (Beginning of Uni)
I should have probably told him to cut it but felt uneasy about telling him that so I simply broke up with him :)

RE: Romance

Just one???
Hard to try to pick just one.

From recent ones.
"I like you"
Enough to have a second date ;)

RE: Epic Fail

Hey, sorry for that. Guy behaved like jerk.
Maybe it's you who is so great and he just wanted to relax :)))

But hey - i actually was about to dump my boyfriend when he on the goodbye party got completly drunk, vomited, etc. I got him home and was trying to hydratate him somehow thinking what I have to pack and how much will cost me the last minute airplane to my homecountry. At some point my drunk boyfriend said: "K... You are taking care of me... You are so good to me... Will you marry me?" And next day apologied for being such a jerk.
Did ignore this question that time. Said "yes" to the second sober one. The completly drunk situation never repeated and I find him one of the most responsible guys I met. Pretty good ex to have. Maybe I should give him a link here ;)
Sometimes it's worth to give it a second chance.
Other times its "run Katiko, run" ;)


But I do completly agree that there is no way to change someone if he/she doesnt want. But if you make the person to want to change it can work out pretty well in a limited number of "changes desired". My ex-husband stopped cigarets, learn to drink alcohol with limits, learned to dance, sail, use cookbooks, is learning currently new language...
And he is proud about his new skills :)))
Its doable. It takes time, requires patience. But once one think its in his/her best interest it can happen pretty fast and be fun for both.

RE: Should people get married ?

Of course, if both of them want it.

RE: Which types of men or women would you date?

The interesting, funny, smart, ...
Rather not lower than me. Not obese. No "plastic guy" who spends in front of the mirror more time than I.
The one who feels comfortable with his body, takes reasonable time to take care of it.
No 'white gloves" type unlesshe he is a surgeon, etc.

RE: If someone wants to exchange personal emails when already have one on date site..

I say, sth like:
"Hey, thanks. Maybe I'll use it one day."
Some people continued to write at CS, others stopped.
One of the initial scammers selection.

I use the email provided only when I think it would make sense.
Did wrote back from personal mail at some point.
No scammers so far :)

RE: Have you met a romantic interest from this site?

Again repeated (…) clicked twice or sth like that…
sorry.

RE: Have you met a romantic interest from this site?

Sounds I would be your perfect match, Otterley :))))

Housewife...

Hey, that was supposed to be the answer for the thread "whites" ;)
Sorry for that.
Should probably have bigger screen on my handy or just use other device...

Housewife...

...secret Im not going to reveal ;P
But I do wash cotton whites in 90C every while, with some secret extras.
I do not use very fragrant powder or liquids as I have later allergy. And an extra rinsing program every time almost.

RE: Children

I love kids but after spending over a year at home with one of those I know I do love adults.
Adult for me. Kids for my kid.

RE: love at first sight

OK, when you talk about that early age.
Of course I was in love from the first sight.

I was living in kind of boarding place for few months when I was around 12.
The dinning room there looked a little like from Harry Potter: A lot of raws of long tables. I was sitting at the rear end of one of them with all bunch of other kids. Having the lunch. One moment the door opened and - here he was.
The New.
The girls around me started to whisper and I looked again and our eyes met. I knew immediately I "liked" him.
He got to my group, took a place in front of me at the dinner table, so we were meeting all the time but always with all other people. It never occurred to me to tell him I liked him. Few weeks later I got a love letter from him delivered by his best buddy. Had butterflies all the day but never had chance to tell him that I liked him too... The same night he was taken to hospital and did not came back. :(

Years later I met him on the street, close to my place, one day. We recognized each other and started to talk. Turned out we were living like 500m away from each other for all those years and we never met! He said he had a basic surgery but got some infection and stayed in hospital for weeks.
We even had a date but the feeling was long gone.

RE: love at first sight

No.

The believe in existence of love at first sight died for me after once in a dark disco place. There was this mysterious guy sitting at the bar drinking bier. Me 17/18, he probably 22. Observing me when I was dancing. I noticed. I looked back, he smiled. I though "hmmm… nice guy". I looked again "Little mysterious" and I wondered why.
(…)
Yeah, there was a reason why he looked so mysterious and why his smile reminded me of Mona Lisa: He was missing 50% of teeth at least!
He could have been the best man ever, world box champion just after the game, victim of some fight, … But I was young and appearance counted way more that time than today. So I never gave him a chance to tell the story.

From that on, I decided that there is no love at first sight for me. Do not hurry so much. Take the time. Surprises are not always so nice :)

RE: should children under two be allowed to fly

Now, when he is 15months he loves to interact with strangers.
A stranger who would catch his attention could safe all other passengers from a scream and crying more than all the mummy or daddy can do.
I saw it in trains, tramway, or busses already.
It's the age when he needs to try out new things and those are usually forbidden, or to be engaged in some activity. And stranger and their new ideas are always more interesting.
So it could happen it would be better to have you seated close if he would find you interesting or funny. You could save us all :)))

I've just realized that I never had a Belgian...

And this is something I would probably not share at all :)



I think I should go to visit Turin/Torino again.
Got some really, really good chocolates there.

RE: Why people lie so much about their age and social position while dating ???

Yeah, the ability to lie is a proven sign of intelligence.
So, the question is: did/do you chose not to lie, or are you unable to create the other "world". ?

I've just realized that I never had a Belgian...

Godiva is supposed to be Belgian. But not the Godiva produced in US.
The same with Lindt.
They claim it's the same what's in Europe. It's not.
Somehow there is a difference.

I've just realized that I never had a Belgian...

No "any" Lindt any more, though they have few series which are quite good.
The one I got last time lasted for weeks exposed to everyone in the middle of the table, which says a lot for itself. Only my son liked them when he once managed to get them down from the table somehow and it was first chocolate thing he ever had.

In US I would usually go for Peter's and Godiva.

I've just realized that I never had a Belgian...

I do - do - do - LOVE chocolates.
There are only few things better than or as good as good chocolate pralines.
Hope I will never have to cut on sugar that much.

Btw, do you check for diabetes or cholesterol regularly? Maybe I should do that...

RE: Have you ever,...

I am not sure if there is still feeling of love, though.
Maybe just confirmation that you still care.
And if the other person was a good person, we usually care about him/her in some way although time is passing by. I did meet a good amount of great guys in my live, from which some I dated once or twice. I still value them. I would probably ever date none of them because of the reasons it did not work out by the first time.

So, in my case it would be probably the garden dog symptom: I don't want the bone but I am not so okay with others having it. But the same moment I would be probably happy for them. Contradictory feelings. But I was recently experiencing exactly that. I noticed that my ex, the father of my child, has again the smile in the eyes I felt in love to. And I know it's not because of me this time. I feel happy for him one way. But it's some way painful too.

RE: Attraction

That would be the very first attraction, which of course is the same important as the first impression. Just a start to consider meeting the person again. But there are more levels of attraction :)

RE: Are we approaching the End of Times?

Maybe not the end of the times.
Looking at the history, overpopulation, crises, decay of morality we live in, I now that the human population needs to be refreshed/reminded of values, which always happens after epidemics or wars.
But when I think of it here, now, affecting people around me or me, I am scared.
I am freaking out thinking that I would witness how the people I care are dying. Or that my kid would survive but grow up in some terrible conditions with people who treat him as burden.

Yeah, I am in the need in comfort these days.

I've just realized that I never had a Belgian...

Never had a Belgian waffle either :(((

I've just realized that I never had a Belgian...

…chocolate ;P

But I've just finished the German one. Okey only.
I know for sure that Swiss are way better than German.
Are Belgian chocolates really so good? better than Swiss???

RE: When to say "I love you"

Say it when you are sure it is loving someone not just being in love.
Say it when you think that the person is ready to deal with it.
Say it in the way "I want you to know that. it's such a great feeling to love you." without the expectation to hear the same back immediately.
No-one throws away a beautiful gift, but a lot of people would throw a burden.
It doesn't matter who says it first.
It matters you let the person know that she/he is important to you once you feel that way. There are lot of ways to say and show it.
Hearing "I love you" is most beautiful when you feel the same toward the other person.

RE: How to get rid of unwanted guests?

Go next time for summer to them and stay till Christmas - they will learn the lesson.
Personally had guests who stayed over two weeks and felt perfectly right. Had some whom I wanted to send back the same evening.
If they shop and cook for all, and clean after themselves and I have a space - welcome home. I'm happy to come home and have a dinner with company.

RE: Where are the sane women gone to

because the ability to give and receive is a base for any relation.
Name it time, attention, caring word or touch, intimacy, trust, things to spoil, toys, (…)

Being generous is not only about money. Being generous is having the having a joy from giving someone the joy.

RE: Is it right for women to ask for a date instead of waiting on some shy men?

of course it is right.
Do what you feel like doing.
You can ask for a date, you can be asked for a date.
You can seduce someone, you can be seduced.
You can …
As far as you are giving other people the choice and accept their answers you can ask for whatever you want.

RE: Real Men

There is a lot of things which can tell you someone is real.
But I am in bad mood at the moment so I am not going to write it now.
:/
