My mother does this. I rarely talk, my guy just got used to it.
I only talk in the car, or truck. He talks during tv. I rarely watch tv. I give him the "hush" finger! No talking during movies!
Shh! How do I get stuck with the guys who talk?
My guy talks more than I, and he's quiet. He loves to interrupt what I'm watching. I watch my faves on my computer at 4 am, feed him coffee, encourage games and he's quiet, until 7.
Some, I'd rather learn moves from my customers. One guy is the best country dance dude, ever! One chick stops traffic and ties up aisles when she dances. She dances by herself and everyone backs up to watch. Worse yet, they crowd up to watch her! All ages, both genders...she dances and I can't get through the crowd.
Geez, last relationship I had, I paid all the bills, refused to get married and didn't want anymore kids. I spelled it out, upfront. Two years later I was a wench for not wanting kids. I didn't change, he did.
10 years later, I still don't want to get married, don't want kids, and the new one pays the bills for now. He wants to get married, while I say no. He thinks I'm the coolest thing since sliced bread. He won't let me pay bills and I will never wear a ring, much less have a kid, or take his name.
If I get ready to leave, I like to travel light. No baggage for me, thanks.
My grands started teaching me how to cook when I was 4. I could make a roast with veggies and gravy, in elementary school. I've always made cornbread from scratch. Baked my first cake from scratch at 8.
I currently cook in restaurant, when I feel like cooking.
Learned about chocolate gravy, last night. Seems to be an OK specialty. Not to be confused with Mole.
We all come with some baggage, after a while. All relationships have an effect on the current. It's human nature. Keep your debt to yourself. If someone told me that stuff on a first date, I would run away, too.
If you choose to date on your own, it's not hard. Ask a lady to dinner, make conversation. Ask what she likes, then talk about that.
I had a blind date and we went to an Indian restaurant. I didn't know anything about the food. We ordered mixed stuff and he explained dishes.
(I kept running to the bathroom to blow my nose, because the food was spicy!)
In between me blowing my nose in the ladies' room, and courses, we got to know one another. We went to a jazz joint, afterwards.
I've had worse dates.
We stayed in a motel because of snow. After breakfast, and another chat, I went home.
If it hadn't been a blizzard, I would have left the night before. We talked about his son, music, his marriage and how his son needed a mother. As soon as the snow was cleared, I was gone.
My daughter dated a young Indian man. His mother didn't like her, even though she went to church with him (Catholic) and even painted his mother's house.
My white daughter was not good enough. Only her grand-mothers had a problem. She was crazy about him, and her parents liked him. She broke up with him, after 3 years.
She started dating another guy, getting married next month. She's been with him for over two years. I liked the ex, better, except for the Mother's insistence that he date an Indian girl.
McCain has had serious health issues, including heart attacks. If he died in office, it's possible she could gain the position.
If she took notes from Cheney, everything would be run from the Whitehouse and about 6 people, anyway.
I'm surprised that the Vice President can control cabinet seats and the military, while not being any branch of government. Obviously, it's the catbird seat and we might need to address that issue.
No excuses for setting someone on fire. Even my bi-polar, crazy cousin would accuse people of stuff. She would never hurt anyone, even if she were off her meds. She says crazy stuff, she would never hurt anyone.
That guy needs to go to jail, for the rest of his life.
