Went for a bike ride today and almost died...lol It's been about 4 months since I've been. Might do a walk tomorrow and crochet more on a baby blanket.
After working with a woman for 5 years who has a husband who has to call her for every little thing (including how to get to his destination)...and now that they both have phones that can handle text messaging (and it's constant)....if I were in a relationship I would prefer that my guy call me outside of work hours, unless of course he was going to come down to take me to lunch or wanted to make a quick call for after work plans (like where he was going to take me to dinner, etc.).
It's a little irritating how much time she spends on the phone with personal calls and I'd rather not be the person who is irritating others by filling my day with personal calls. Calling me while I'm driving would be ok, and calling me once I'm home would be good, it's a lot easier to hold a conversation that way.
I'd prefer to hold a regular voice conversation and save texting for just a quick "on my way" type of thing. To me too much gets lost in the translation of text messaging (or emailing) because you can't hear the tone of the other person's voice.
My grandpa was born in Bohemia and came to the U.S. with his family when he was a little boy.
I've got ties to Ireland, Scotland, England (two to Cromwell), Netherlands as well as Comanche & Cherokee. I know one set of relatives were on the wrong side of the revolutionary war (they were Tories - one of the connections to Cromwell).
Congrats!! Hope you enjoy what you're going to be doing! Have to admit I've been eyeing some of the road construction (CalTrans) guys where they've been doing work on the highway...lol
If I should ever find someone that I feel I want to spend the rest of my life with, then I'm thinking something very small, maybe go to Tahiti and find us a preacher and get married on the beach...we'd already be in our honeymoon destination...........or Vegas...lol
The Mexican food in New Mexico is better in my opinion. Visiting ex-inlaws (they weren't ex at the time...lol) there got me hooked. I wish the one restaurant here in Redding that serves Sopapillas did them the right way. I completely enjoyed my lunch in Albuquerque last April *sigh*
Enjoy your time here EE.....one day I'd like to do a tour of the British Isles.
I can't explain why it happens, but it's happened to me LOTS of times. I can't understand it either, and like you it makes me wonder what the heck is wrong with me that I can't keep a guys interest long enough for him to realize I'm the one....OR, at least cowboy up and say he wasn't interested. It's had me at the point of giving up several times. But I haven't, I'm still hoping to find the right guy who's willing to invest the time to get to know me and for us to fall in love with each other.
Your wife should be able to go to whatever Dr. she feels comfortable with and it's up to her to determine whether the Dr. acts unprofessional or not.
For General Practice I've had both male & female. Same as for my GYN. Made no difference to me although one male OB/GYN I had during my second pregnancy was very good looking BUT I was a good girl...lol
But it's also the same with men, they should see whatever gender Dr. they're comfortable with, not who their wife picks (unless she happens to know of a specialist that's she's heard good things about).
Geez, haven't been out on a date in a long time. Any first time meetings I've had have only been for a hot chocolate, a jamba juice, or a walk.
Now I did ask one of the custodians at my school out for his birthday, and I would've paid for the tickets for the comedy show if he had accepted, but he didn't so I went by myself.
There have also been a couple of times in the past 5 years that I've paid for concert tickets for me and my date because it was something I wanted to do.
So I guess that falls under it depends on who does the asking. Of course one way of splitting the cost....I buy the tickets & he buys dinner (since I don't drink I think he'd get off spending the lesser amount of money).
If you want to call it "pre-judging" then I guess that's what it is. Heck, it's the reason we put profiles & pictures up. We use that picture and what's written in the profile as a way to determine if we want to contact that person, if something they've said or the way they smile or have a twinkle in their eye generates an interest then it's all "pre-judging". And I don't care how loudly someone says that looks don't matter, we all know they do in some part. You know what you're attracted to and it's different for everyone and I will admit that sometimes in person is better than the picture, but then again there have been times when the picture was better than in person. So yeah, it's all "pre-judging" in some form or another.
At your age you're still dating girls, and as young as they are they don't know what they want yet. If you plan on making the Air Force your career you might be better off finding a military brat who knows what she's getting into by dating you.
As we get older though, some of us get it figured out and don't play the games anymore, but there are some (both men & women) who never get tired of playing games and continue to hurt people.
I think Loves 2 Dance & Steve might be a little more on the mark. I would bet that those women were there for work, either military or government, and like Loves 2 Dance said, may have been advised not to get involved with the locals.
With everything that's going on in the world today, and with movies based on true stories, American women are more likely fairly forewarned about getting involved with anyone from the middle east.
In my opinion, if they're not a scam artist and give their email in the first contact with me, then they shouldn't have a problem with continuing to email here through the system. Email is email right? Why do they need to go to a private email right off the bat if they're for real? I'm more comfortable using the system email for awhile before going to private since my email address happens to be my real name.
But....when I've given the preference to stay here I don't hear back from them....which tells me what they are.
If there's not a picture I don't go any further....and then depending on if I find him attractive in the photo....as been said before, initial attraction.........also, if he smokes it's a no-go.
I've been here off & on for a few years now. I don't think I've met anyone from this site, although there was one I wanted to meet............ooooh...wait, I take that back, there was that Marine I went down to meet....obviously didn't last too long.
I think it's the nature of the beast...it's the same regardless of what site I use. I'm beginning to think I have some type of tattoo across my forehead that tells men to stay away from me
But I have heard of the lucky few that found someone who was willing to meet & get to know them. Just wondering when my luck will change....but I admit it's probably some my own fault because I know what I want & won't settle for anything less.
It's only tough when I can't keep my mind occupied, hence the need for music while I'm doing mundane things like yard work or staining a fence...most days I'm fine.
Gonna have to check the cows at the stockyard & see if they have bells...lol
I tear up when recognition is given to veteran's. Sunday they had flags all over the church. One had flown over Baghdad, one was from WWII, one had flown in the White House when Reagan was President, and several were the casket flags that widows let the church use....even when they just have them stand up to be honored....my dad standing up with them....I'm always wiping my eyes.
Today, during the time I didn't have music playing while I was staining the fence, it was thoughts of my kids that was getting to me. Feeling the loss of the relationship we used to have that was destroyed by their dad and wondering if I'll ever have a relationship with either one of them again.
Usually I'm pretty strong....but sometimes can be a mush.
I've been working on it in the mornings before it gets too hot. So far 3 days, about 4 hours each day & 50 feet. So maybe by Saturday I'll have the rest of it done...lol
