"I'm 60 so the younger fit ladies appeal to me, compared to the average ladies my age that think their weight is something to ignore. Have you ever looked at 690 year olds on an american dating site, holy crap batman, what a shock"
It depends on what you mean. I live in a foreign country, so having an 'international relationship' would be just having a normal relationship. If you mean while passing through, as a tourist, probably not, especially if we couldn't communicate because of language issues.
I pretty much disagree with this. If you believe in the study of human psychology, people are very often unaware of what motivates them, and it is very, very difficult for anyone to have a clear and objective perspective on anything. I think part of being honest with yourself is being aware of the fact that you may not know yourself as well as you think you do. There is conscious thinking and awareness and unconsciousness thinking and awareness. As much as we would like to think we're on top of it all, we're not. It isn't possible.
As much a thinking people try to be honest with themselves, I don't think it is possible to be objective--we are inside our own skins and can't see the world from outside that skin.
Most people in the poll say they know themselves best---I just wonder if we know ourselves as well as we think, given it's impossible to have any objectivity. Once, when I was in a long term relationship, my partner would occasionally say "I know you better than you know yourself." It didn't irritate me, 'cause he would always say it in a sweet and loving way, but I would think either he was so wrong or wonder maybe he was right.....Is it possible someone from outside ourselves actually could know us better than we know ourselves? I don't mean all one's little secrets, but who and what you are, the kind of person you are...?
The thing about American "brashness," "style," or "charm" is that it is Irish Wit, Scottish Fire, English understatedness, French style, Latin Passion, and a whole lot more
I think it would be fantastic to know what they are thinking--I'm sure they're not always happy with me, but I don't care, I'd still like to know what they are thinking and feeling. The implication of your question is that we wouldn't want them around because they might disagree with us or complain--hmmm, if that were the case, we wouldn't want kids or a partner or friends, etc. etc.
I would definitely think, if a man said "I'd like to take you out" he was interested in me romantically. If it's just friends, there are other ways to say you want to spend time with someone--but this sounds like a date.
The best times for me are when I am traveling--I liked it so much, I found a job that lets me live overseas. Been living overseas five years now, this is the third country, and I also travel as often as possible--spent 3 days last weekend in Hungary. So, THIS is the best time of my life!
