ha ha!! i only have a degree in agricultural zoology my brother would have caught that- even form the small picture ( can you tell i didn't go on to wow the world with my zoology skills I thinkg david attenborough can rest easy)
whew!! thought i was going to have to be the pedantic one here..paris =France Rome= Italy
where do i like to be taken?? well if it's not an early relationship date, then the couch, the kitchen table, the bedroom, the shower- you get the drift. but on a first or even subsequent ones- either an atmospheric restaurant with good food and decent wine with his/ or your friends with waiters/waitresses that enjoy their job and have a laugh with you as well as serving,.... or a nice home cooked meal where you can sit and get to know each other better. I had both this weekend and i couldn't say which i enjoyed better. god i'm bragging now- shut up Alison ( but i deserve it )
that doesn't just go for men- in my youth i was a bit like that- enjoyed the chase but once they showed interest i lost interest. Have grown up since then and would only allow men that i was interested in to 'chase' because i want to be caught
i can state honestly that it is!! my brother ( now a vet) when he was a student had an indian python, rats, pirahna fish etc as pets- he tried to get a tarantula, but apparently they wouldn't let him as there was no antivenom for sale. i think he was a woose and too scared and that was his excuse
when i first saw my man on our first date( had met him before) I thought- oh no- don't fancy him at all- not that he isn't goodlooking, just a split second thought- but we talked all night and i enjoyed his company. Am so glad as now i think/realise he is GORGEOUS!!
glad you are feeling better but -here's one to keep for emergencies .. what i need is motorway all the way from here to Dubl;in so i can get my real hugs sooner
going out on a limb here- i have always held the opinion that if i let a guy know i liked him ( this could be after a few dates when \i knew he was really interested in me, then it gave him the 'upper hand' and would lead him to treat me badly. i don't know what gave me this impression, because it has never happened, but we can't get rid of the demons that haunt us.
i realise now, again through cs to some extent,that letting someone know that i like him as much as he likes me, is not a bad thing, and even a good thing.
i have never been treated really badly by a guy or dumped , cheated on etc etc, so i have no real reason to be distrustful of men. I suppose what i am trying to say, is that MEN!! don't always see women who are a bit guarded, or reluctant to make the first move, as a 'tease' or players/ playing hard to get. sometimes we are genuine, passionate women, who just don't have the confidence in ourselves to believe that we are desireable to men, regardless of what we are told
i am- not getting married, but i'm loving every minute of it. life after a separation can really happen and it's......?? where are the fireworks emoticons?? !!
arrgh- the kid from across the road came into my house last year to show us what he'd got- and left a trail all across the living room carpet merry christmas
for me- just to find out he is a jerk, that i have nothing in common with-or that he would obviously think i was not his type either!!
well, dinner with me and three techno-mad small boys was never going to be a two hour fest of conversation, witty repartee and cullinary appreciation!! 15 mins start to finish!! took me longer than that to peel the potatoes and veg. ah well, as said in the other thread- at least i had 3 healthy boys to talk to and share more than enough food with!! and i got to eat all the brussel sprouts ( for some that would be torture, for me- YUM!!
Following on from another thread that was mentioning how do they get through the first christmas without a loved one.... I have 2 friends that have lost their wife/husband this year through car crashes- both young people with 2 and 5 kids under 10 years old
those that have lost someone close to them... what is the best thing a friend could do for you this year?? I am at a bit of a loss as to what I should do- In ireland, I believe the tradition is for the bereaved family not to send cards or recieved them, not put up a tree etc ( i don't think this is the best thing if there are small kids in the house, but that is what they do apparently). should I stay away, and let them grieve alone? should I go there on Christmas day and hug them? what would be the best thing someone could do . I realise that everyone handles their grief differently, but there is probably some common ground.
RE: Do men enjoy the chase until they've caught you?
exactly- just because you know they will let you catch them, doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the chase
