Again...many thanks to all of you who offered congrats and kind words, we will cherish them. I will also do my best to update anyone who wants to know how things continue on with us...all my love..
I know it's been a while and all since I've stopped in here; however, I never used the success story category before so I am now.
A success story...It was in Dec of '07 when Rickster and I started chatting on CS, met in Apr of '08 and met again in July of that year. It was then that we didnt come on CS much anymore, as we played more on another website...which is where you will find us both now as well.
After July of last year, we didnt get to see eachother until May of this year. That was one long year, and at times I think we both doubted LDR, or at least I did. But things all came together in May, when Rick came back to Iowa for my oldest sons graduation from Highschool, he made one more trip back to New York for a couple of weeks and then came back to Iowa 2 weeks later.
So a success story??? Yeah, I think so
I would like to extend my thanks to CS for this website, Rick and I would have never found eachother if not for this wonderful website. So many thanks
Oh and as far at the title of this thread....YEAH, we are gonna have a baby this coming summer...
To my wonderful friends on the other website and Rick's, please dont mention this on there as my kids dont know yet and we arent telling them until the first of the year or so. I just wanted to thank Connecting Singles for there part of our success and to let you all know CS can work if you keep the faith and are patient...my best to you all...hugs
yeah yeah anyways....I wouldnt use the word "shallow" for you..I have to many others to pick from.
To bad you and leslie couldnt of responded to this thread like mature adults instead of spitting out poison. All the other guys didnt take such high offense...lil boys...
I dont think the use of the word shallow is wrong, unless its the only word that is used to describe someone as a whole.
as people can lack depth in intellect, thoughts, and feelings..would make their thinking shallow.
however, used in this situation..it may not of been the best choice of words...because the fact the people dont want to date another person due to their looks..is more of a personal choice.
for instance, im not so much for dating a guy who is shorter them me...I wouldnt consider that being shallow.
I think everyone gets to this point at sometime...
For me, I wouldnt call myself shallow...but, I am selective in what I want in a man. Im not gonna settle for something less then I want and deserve, after all, "he" could be my life partner (this includes both the outer and inner beauty and both are important when it comes down to it)...I best choose well. so, with that said...I wouldnt expect a man to any less.
Im not sure I have any good advice, except be patient. Ive been seeing a man from CS for almost a year and half; however, he does at least live in the same country, which I would think would be easie...hes on the East Coast and I live in the mid-west. We started out emailing and so forth, now we talk on the phone several times a day...we've met and all went very well, better then I expected. Again, the hardest part for me is patience and trust, both are harder in a LDR..IMO. However, if you both want it...distance cant stop you and time can be your friend or your enemy..depends on how you see it.
I have posted pics of my kids a time or two...I can see some risk, but to actually call it dangerous, not sure about that one...
"to use your kids to lure people to get a date" sorry, that struck me as one of the funniest things I've read. I cant see how posting a pic of your kids is gonna lure anyone into getting a date...maybe posting T & A, but kids...
RE: ANNIVERSARY
congrats to both of you!!!
