RE: is it possible 2 stay friends with an ex?

I am still friends with most of my Ex's... the only ones I have not remained friends with are the ones who were not nice to me or who breached my trust.. It's a shame when you can't be friends with someone who you used to care about.. strange feeling.. cause I am not usually one to stop caring.. just like that

RE: How much is it important that your partner & family like your food?

I love family meals and I also love to cook.. family meals in our house are great fun .. but don't happen enough cause we have all flown the nest.. I also really love it when my Mum cooks my favourite 'fish pie' when I am going home for the weekend.. it makes me feel special...

Food and meals are such a comforting and sociable thing I think...I also love having my friends around for dinner

RE: After 10 years....

Thats great.. glad things are going so well for you... ... Work is so good.. great for the soul.. keeps you occupied..is sociable..and the bit of money doesn't hurt either.. I always say that even if I won the Lottery in the morning.. I would still want to do something.. say my own business or charity work... I love work

RE: what do you think about the above person's picture ?

... very cool!!

RE: Single parenting for Men ??

I agree with Vonney.. while it is IDEAL to have both parents remain together and share the task of raising children.. I think it can be far more damaging to grow up in a household where there is alot of arguments and tension... a home should be a refuge not a battle ground...

I hope (if I ever get married) that it will be for life and I would do all in my power to make it work, It would also be something that I take seriously.. however if the worst happens and u end up in an utterly miserable marriage.. the decision to seperate may be the only option..

Hmmm..... not my cup of tea really.. a little too pretentious... though I would be curious enough to try.... have u been to the Ivy in London or 15?... Ivy is outstanding.. definitely the best restaurant I have been too.. because they make you feel comfortable and welcome and the food is just straight forward.. good quality fare...



15 is overpriced.. and service is not good.. but the food is excellent.. have u been to Fat Duck?

RE: whats your favourate food?

Yummy... I love Greek food !!

.. its great for vegetarians aswell, which I am...

RE: whats your favourate food?

U r taking the Pee aren't you? what is molecular cuisine when it is at home..

RE: whats your favourate food?

Easy.. cheese!! just love it.. love going to France and trying loads of different ones out..

Love cooking as well though and like to be a little adventurous..when I lived in London, my friend and I used to love going to the market on a Saturday and picking up fresh ingredients..



What kind of cuisine do you like to cook the best?

RE: Are women really looking for a nice guy?

I wonder sometimes what happens to people when they get older If everyone was just respectful, honest and considerate of one another we would probably all be happy... shame its not just simple and straightforward..

I even feel myself becoming cynical.. which I don't want.. but in order to protect oneself.. we lose alot of that simple innocence which doesn't harm anyone

RE: A Nit Picking Topic

What is a Player....

Sadly I think you are probably right Jan.. thats why it is good to discuss these things.. cause if the above IS the case then hopefully this more 'innocent' category (if that as a term can be correctly applied) might learn a thing or two.. or MAYBE even think twice.. I think at the end of the day..no matter what the motivation.. where there are real people and real feelings involved.. such individuals need a swift kick in the but to awaken them up to the realities of their behaviour and how it may affect others

What is a Player....

Yeah sadly.. people can't help their feelings some time... you can't be responsible for that... my friend's flat mate keeps on coming on to me despite my having told him 'several times' that although he is a sweet guy I am not interested in going out with him..

I think as said previously by yourself and others... the key is honesty... leading someone to believe they you are interested in a relationship... say for e.g...making plans and expressing a genuine interest above and beyond the usual 'flirting' can from time to time give an impression of something which is more though..

Dating and having fun though.. between consenting adults... absolutely no harm in that!!! have had plenty a snogging buddy in my time

:cheers?

RE: A Nit Picking Topic

Oh bloody hell... I am over the hill then

RE: has anybody learnt anything interesting from any failed/romance/work/family/freinds relationships ?

Yes I have.. I am heretofore going to avoid 'charmers' like the plague and suit myself... If someone can handle that then.. they might get lucky

seriously though.. I have to say even the bad experiences lead to some good, through increased awareness and knowledge... for my age I am surprisingly inexperienced and I have probably gained most if not all my experience in the last year..

I started late (on the relationship front) and went from a 6 year relationshiop into a 3 year one... so I didn't really have much experience of the rat race that is the dating world..and have only really been on the 'scene' for a short time.. phew!! I am exhausted.. already..

Hmmm :laughing: visualising footballers in dressing room

What is a Player....

.. Hi Irish..

.. compatibility is an issue in every budding relationship.. nothing new there.. I have been in what I would call 'normal' type situations where for whatever reason one or other of the parties involved were not compatible.. that a person can handle.. is quite normal.. think playing is somehow a little bit more complicated than that somehow..

JMHO

:shamrock:

RE: are you faithful when in a relationship?

What is a Player....

I agree that one of the great things about being single is to be able to go out and about meet new people and check out the scene.. its great fun!! and as you say healthy...

Would you think it fair if a girl you really liked switched on the charm and let you to believe there was something there wasn't though.. would you be cool about that.. is that allowed in the dating game?

Perhaps I have been in long term monogamous relationships for too long and am out of touch...

I have alway had guys in the backround showing interest in me.. in work, and friends of friends kind of thing.. but I just don't think it is right to let them think there is something where there isn't particularly when I know they like me

What is a Player....

You make a valid point.. I know that when I was in London... I engaged in American style dating for a while.. i.e. dating several people.. in that case though it WAS very much the getting to know you phase with all these people.. there were never any promises, no intimacy, and they were all very short lived.. bit like trying on shoes for size.. I don't think there is anything wrong with this.. as soon as I found Al (my ex) it was monogamy all the way for the next 3 years..

Where does it cross the line though.. what would have turned my above example into playing?

What is a Player....

In my view.. this is central to distinguishing between the 'innocent' and not so innocent... we all f*ck up and we all make mistakes.. god knows I have made several in my time.. someone who goes on to do the same again in the knowledge that he/she has hurt someone before.. can that person be described as innocent?.. or should we make allowance for the fact that maybe they are on a subconcious level incapable of understanding the emotions of other people
