Exchanging gifts is a new one. Meet first. Exchange gifts at the meeting, by all means.
I've been bushwhacked by a nutter, ended up having to move after she visited me and learned my address. What people say, and what they really want, can be scary different.
I have a tasteful pair of cowboy boots and a matching 10 gallon hat. I can wear them on their own or match them up with a pair of tartan trousers which go well with the jacket I got for Christmas?
Oh aye we both thought it was a benefit, a chance to take stock and a breathing space while we shake down to being in a new relationship. And it is. If we blow it, then it wasn't meant to be.
Oh aye, pal, you're right, but this is a cunning plan. She'll take one look at the lovely ladies giggling with me and decide that's it, we're both out of here.
And oh yes, off the dating site, the minute she closes her profile, mine will disappear. It's fun socially though. Plus I get to air an issue and debate it
I was committed to the project months before we met. And NEXT job is a suitable country where I can take her with me, plus we'll be more established as a couple by then. Problem solved.
February, the company flies me home, or her out to me, for a week. In the meantime, we're practically spending more time together (on skype) and exchanging letters, than we were when living 30 miles apart. You learn a lot about each other when apart. Priorities? Make this work.
I know the fair thing is to expect no promises but right now I'm a bleary-eyed hungover old codger feeling sorry for himself. There is love. There is trust. I just wish he'd fall under a bus.
High maintenance is NOT money. Not with Scots. It's all about making her feel special and that she has your heart your thoughts and your undivided attention. You CAN do that with money, of course. More effective to do it with your actions.
Low maintenance women don't really care. High maintenance women, the more you put in, the more you get back. JMO.
Love makes you feel young. Well, makes you feel alive and puts a spring in your step. Any age you are.
Or did you mean age difference? Someone close to your own age, so you can spring along together feeling young without being brought back to earth by someone asking if your young partner is your offspring, is good ...
RE: Friends and lovers
You'll find neither on this website. Just fools and losers.There is a difference.
