RE: The Mystery of Romantic Attraction

Have to admit... I was a bit confused, but now it´s clear.

RE: The Mystery of Romantic Attraction

or maybe they have never experienced it... I know that men can experience it because the man I referred to felt the same way I did.

I was the one who made the first move... he was quite involved with family and friends and not looking around so I hadn´t been able to catch his eye. I went up and asked him to dance... he said yes and when the dance ended I bolted for the ladies room. I knew how strongly I was attracted to him and couldn´t face the potentially akward moment when the dance ended... not knowing if he would just walk off, try to make polite conversation...

When I came out... I sat on the other side of the room with a pillar between us... about 15 minutes went by when I felt a hand on my shoulder and a voice saying... I thought I lost you... that was all it took.

Dimple Burrows... it almost sounds suggestive....

RE: Mary’s getting married to a moron

I think it´s a lovely romantic gesture and shows respect for her father... but what if he says no and she says yes?

Do you respect his feelings or do you go ahead with what the two of you want... if the latter, what was the point in asking?

Have the political threads been of any benefit... has anyone changed their views?

My parents and brother are staunch republicans... my sisters and I while more libertarian then anything else lean towards democratic when faced with a two party system... obviously we don´t discuss politics in my family.... but it doesn´t stop me loving them!

Have the political threads been of any benefit... has anyone changed their views?

You and me both... I found myself becoming someone I didn´t like and getting way to caught up in the nastiness... so I got out. Seeing the results of the poll so far I wonder why anyone stayed in them... it doesn´t seem anyone got any benefit from them, yet they caused a lot of bad feelings.

RE: The Mystery of Romantic Attraction

Yes... that feeling of knowing someone... of recognition... that´s what is so hard to understand.

As far as it happening online... that´s not an option for me. Twice, once online and once by phone... I thought I had met someone special, but when the face to face meeting came... I was looking into the eyes of a stranger... so I don´t allow myself to go down that road any more. If I feel a connection it stays as a fun flirtation unless we can plan to meet soon.

Have the political threads been of any benefit... has anyone changed their views?

With all the distention and fighting that has gone on in the Political threads I´m just curious... has it accomplished anything? Has anyone actually changed any of their views based on what has been posted in the threads has anyone learned anything they didn´t know before...or has it just been a place to release our frustrations and bash on each other?

RE: Frustrations...?

I understand what you say about distance and overcoming it... my question is how do you get to that point if you meet online and the distance is already there? I know myself well enough to know... no matter how perfect things may seem in a written relationship, you know nothing until you meet in person and after that it can take months before you know if that person is the one for you.

To get a true perspective of a relationship it means spending time with each other, seeing each others bad habits, and annoying little quirks, it´s easy to be romantic and perfect if you only see each other a couple of times a month.... I know this because it´s how I wound up marrying my ex husband. If we had just spent a month living day to day with each other we never would have married.

So reality tells me that to try to start something with someone halfway around the world is just setting myself up for a disappointment, why spend months months on a slight maybe cutting yourself off from possibilities much closer.

RE: Good morning Europe

My "guest" was a local feral cat that I have become buddies with... he is always elegant in his black tuxedo and white shirt and is always immaculately groomed, he curls up on the foot of my bed, but never spends the entire night... men! And since my front door is also my bedroom door, leaving it open for him gets a bit chilly in the winter. Usually I wake up, but I´m on muscle relaxers just now, so slept straight through!

RE: Frustrations...?

While I can be intellectual and wax poetic... at the core of me is a very physical being... I purr under the right caress and arch my back for more... so yes, distance is a huge obstacle for me. There are a couple of men who I find intriguing and would love the opportunity to meet but the reality is that while I enjoy the passionate words and mental intrigue... without the physical act of touching and being held... it soon loses the magic it may have started with.

If someone has a barrier it is for them to lower, not for me.... and I love the input that people in a happy relationship give to this site... it gives us all a bit of hope.

RE: US Dollars - yum! yum!

All I know is that I had a great time shopping with my Euros when I was in the States last May!!!

RE: Good morning Europe

Go to the middle of page 5 on the "I don´t understand women" thread. All will be revealed...

RE: The Mystery of Romantic Attraction

It is a mystery indeed and subjective to individuals, fortunatley.... or we would all be competing for the same select few...

When I get hit, I get hit hard... and literally can´t see anyone but him.

I was spending a weekend in Monterey with a girlfriend. We were at a dance club and I had met a really nice guy... had spent a couple of hours talking and dancing... exchanged phone numbers etc. Then this man walked in... my girlfriend though he was ok, but nothing to write home about... for me... he was all I could see.

I turned to the man I had been with and apologized saying that I had really enjoyed him and his company, but I had seen someone who took my breath away and whether or not I even spoke to him... it wouldn´t be right to continue because my head would be somewhere else.

Well we did wind up speaking... spent the rest of the weekend together, and were together for a year after that... I almost married him... but that´s another story.

There is no way that I can explain this sort of attraction, it is indeed a mystery.

RE: Good morning Europe

I was in tears of laughter when I was writing that little story.... ... and now, forever more... I will be tarred with the brush of stilettos and ponchos....

RE: Making Love in The Rain

OK.... you got me all hot and bothered....

RE: Good morning Europe

Well in that case you wouldn´t mind bringing me a coffee... I´ll make it worth your while... that´s one thing I do enjoy in the morning...

RE: STOP PRESS - Uproar as Sarah Palin spends $220,000 on campaign wardrobe in 2 months

As I said before... the only reason this was an issue was because of the hypocrisy... she´s running on a "hockey mom - woman just like you" platform and spending a ton of money on a wardrobe.

In my opinion... thank god she is getting a clue, if she winds up on a position of power in the country... I don´t want to see the country represented by a jean and flannel wearing mama. In a leadership position a woman needs to portray some style and grace.

Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis was an ambassador to the world... why? The woman had incredible style and grace... women aspired to be like her, men admired her. Ms. Palin needs to get off the "hockey mom" band wagon and get some class. Unfortunately cloths can only do so much....

RE: Good morning Europe

I am not a morning person... not grumpy, just really lazy.... it just takes me an hour or two to wake up...that and a huge mug of coffee and a couple of cigarettes...

RE: Good morning Europe

OMG.... you´re so chipper in the morning...

RE: Good morning Europe

at times like this a boyfriend would be nice...

RE: Good morning Europe

I´m gasping for a coffee... but don´t want to get out of bed... I left my door open to allow my guest to leave and fell asleep before he left and my room is cold....

RE: Good morning Europe

Sorry love... I´m still in bed, the only thing I have in the flat is some baileys.... mmmmmmmm a Baileys coffee would be nice...

RE: Love makes you healthier!¬

hhhhhmmmmm, I read somewhere that married men live longer then single men.... but that single women live longer then married....

Where´s the love???

RE: Good morning Europe

Good Morning everyone... could somebody bring me a coffee pleeeeeeeezzzz....

RE: 10 Things About My Friend

There is that honesty which can be painful but if put forth with tact and care can be of benefit...and then there is the one I´m most guilty of... revealing far to much of myself... often to my own detriment... sometimes I should just zip it.

RE: Lets have a shindig!

That´s dawn as in the sun coming up after a good night in the hottub... dish soap or bubble bath in the hot tub will give you enough suds for a foam party..... Foam parties are fun....

RE: 10 Things About My Friend

yeah, but my bad stuff is a lot more obvious then most peoples... there is such a thing as being to honest and I think sometimes my fingers are quicker on the keyboard then my brain is....
