Situation has never arisen. If I make plans for a second date, its because I want to see her again so I go. If I don't want to see her again, I don't ask. If something unexpected came up, I would definitly call, apologize, and try to change the day.
Hey Stress! Whats happening bud! I agree with you completely. Just see what happens. If there's chemistry, it all works out kind of naturally. Best of luck!
Don't think twice about it, kiddo. Just go for it and see what happens. You don't have to be rushed into ANYTHING that you don't want. But, allow yourself to go with your feelings. No timetable, don't analyse, just feel and enjoy. Only way you're ever going to know for sure is to try. Good luck!
Nice thread jlb! I think we all consider the possiblity of being alone the rest of our life. Nothing is certain out there. I won't accept that possibility, tho. Probably till the day I die! lol! It's not that I couldn't live and enjoy my life alone. I do and could continue that way if need be. But, I know it could be SO much better if I had someone to share the adventure with. Been there, done that, and I was totally content with my life then - no 2% wondering. Maybe the fact that I experienced a fantastic marriage gives me an edge in that I know exactly whats missing in my life now. Won't/can't settle for anything less ever again.
Planning on buying a house on the island of Crete. Bought a painting there this summer and hung it so every morning as I come down the stairs, its right in front of me. Reminds me of what a beautiful, beautiful place it is and fires me up all over again! Going to happen!
Sommer, I realize your not trying to insult anyone here. But, I hope to god you never have to go through the experience of having your lifetime "partner" die. You really don't know because you have never experienced it.
Why do you even need that? Blind dates? Unless you're talking about something different. A date can LEAD to other things, but it also can just be about talking, enjoying each others company. Doesn't have to be a big romance.
Tell her to hang on to that check for dear life! Hell, he hasn't been paying his child support; what makes her think he's going to give her anything after she signs the check over to him??
Back at ya! I think you can bare more of your soul to people online just BECAUSE of the fact that no one really knows who/what you are. You don't have to hide your true self like most end up doing in their real life/job/ect. You and I are a thousand miles apart yet we can sit here and type about our innermost feelings to each other knowing that most likely we will never meet and getting almost instant responses to questions, hurts, happiness, ect. Simply incredible.
Really strange, isn't it? You meet people here and become friends without really ever meeting them. Just plain weird! Some of the people I've talked to-- seems like you've know them all your life when in reality you've written a month or so. Think maybe its a little easier for everyone to be able to express themselves - maybe even show what's in their makeup - behind that curtain you call a handle.
