I've read tons of profiles on this site and a couple others as well and the ones that interest me the most I'd never message. I really enjoy reading the long ones, but hell you can't really sum a person up by there profile anyways.....they could be lying so easily.
2nd date planned for tomorrow night, exactly one week after the first :)
He's cooking dinner for me at his place, so yeah, everything has went very well, and I can definitely say "I am so smitten"!!!!
We have been talking basically every single night on the phone since the date and I'm pretty sure I can say that things are going better then I even expected.
I have not been on much to post on forums, the long conversations with him keep me pretty darn busy. Anyways....I just wanted to keep you posted.
Yeah well, it's official, we'll be meeting on Thursday night for dinner and a movie....I hate working weekends.....but he is a very kind man for making plans to come down on a weeknight just so we can finalize the first step of meeting one another.
Hopefully, Friday we both can report that our expectations were met
My son runs to open the door for elderly women at the store....I didn't tell him to do it, he saw me doing it all his life. Manners are instilled by your parents I believe.

PS...last time he opened the door for a lady, she tried to buy him some candy and he said "no Ma'am, I don't need to be paid for helping you, its respect"
I really don't think I've changed as a person much, because no matter where you go or what you do, you are there.
I would have to say that I've become a bit more open with my feelings now that there is no fear of retribution for expressing myself. I also feel I'm a bit more confident, not so afraid to let someone know exactly how I feel and when I think I'm being trampled on, I can see the signs way further in advance and the red flag goes up and I put a stop to the nonsense.
But as for who I am and my personality and my ability to make others laugh, that was all there all along.
When I was 4 I asked my uncle when he was going to kill the rabbit so my aunt could have a baby....what a misconception that was, but nonetheless everyone had a laugh at my expense
Chevy all the way here......My dad and brother would spend hours in the garage working on old motors and dad just told me the other day that the days of working on your own car are over, so hell I guess it may not matter anymore what you drive if you have to get it repaired at a shop anyways.
I do know that American companies were building far less superior vehicles then foreign made cars/trucks at one point, like in the late 70's and early 80's, so I'm sure that a lot of folks moved over to Toyota or Nissan for better fuel economy and a car or truck that didn't rust at the fenders in 5 years.
Not trying to cut anyones throat, but I've experienced so many columns where the women kind of sort of kind of have 'hatred' towards men.
I had a man that treated me like crap.....been there done that, but why is it that 'us' women tend to focus so much on the negative. I'm sure that I'm not being a bit naive here, but hell it just seems to me that if you are looking for a man then there must be something positive in finding one.
Whether a guy says "take things slow or not" does it really have that much weight to cause a person to over analyze things and put so much effort into figuring it out?
Sometimes I see guys come on the threads and leave because their thoughts are shredded apart and therefore there is no real interaction between man and woman and it becomes a very one sided thread at the end.
I'm not saying that I'm not guilty of this, because I'm sure I am from time to time, but let's try to take things in perspective and not psychologically tear things into shreds where none of it makes any sense.
Hell I didn't think you were having a go at me at all
I just think that things should manifest themselves and not be rushed. So many people want to put a time frame on things and to be honest if it's good it's worth waiting for.
I really do think that people in todays age want some sort of instant gratification and when they do, they over look simple gestures and comments that are directed toward them because they are looking at the greater scheme of things.
People tend to be so impatient because the progression of things in a relationship aren't fitting the schedule they set forth, they may just be giving up on a good thing before they know it.
Whether a man says "let's take things slow" or a woman says it, I wouldn't put so much thought into the words that are spoken and would spend a bit more time focusing on getting to know each other. If you see that road is one-sided then you've got your answer and you simply move on.
Actions definitely speak louder then words in this case.
I'm not politically correct by any means.....I try very hard not to be, but I do have to be diplomatic. As a nurse, I can't go around telling the doctors they are cocky SOB's that need to spend more time with their patients and less time at the lake with their buddies. (although I wish at times I could)
I would however, outside my duties as a nurse, not hesitate one bit to tell someone what I think and cross the line so to speak.
You know you can talk all you want online, really get to know someone, but really are you able to fully know the person before meeting?
I've done the "pull the cart before the horse" thing and ended up spending a ton of time on a man that I thought I knew to only find out that I didn't know him at all.
So, when I say I want to take things slow, I mean that I don't expect to be moving in with someone after a date or two. I want to get to know the person, not a perception of him based on what he says his life is like or what he says as to how he treats women. I want to see it first hand in real time, not cyber space.
Thanks all of you it means a lot to see the support that I have on here and I'm sure that things will be okay....it's a date, nothing more and nothing less, just a way to see if we'd like to go on perhaps another and another
