RE: read a lurn how I feel

I don't doubt you're a nice guy. Sadly, there are alot of girls who want a guy with money and looks. But there's also alot who don't care as much about that; I know I don't. I prefer a great personality. But, getting frustrated and complaining is a major turnoff. Also, I wouldn't mention marriage in your profile. That might scare off alot of women thinking that you're looking to jump right into it. I agree with someone else about putting more info about you and your interests. Let all the women out there know what a catch you are!

Good luck!

RE: Fav Movies

Clue (too funny!) and The Breakfast Club (have the whole movie memorized).

RE: you me the park any girl intrested?

Sorry, but being from MN, there's a good chance you might be my father's son.

RE: Where is the perfect girl for my brother Barnagie ????

Aww too bad you're like a million miles away.

RE: How can you tell how nice a person is by looking on a picture

They obviously haven't seen the apron pic...

RE: the worst things to happening on a date

Does being stood up count?

Worst experience... probably best not to mention.

As for rude dates, I've been told I was a keeper because he "loves fat women" I should've left then, but decided to try and make the best of it. Unfortunately, that ended up being me listening to him rant about how he thought our government was behind 9/11 and how he had burned a flag in protest. That was it. I come from a military family and Grandpa would've been turning in his grave if that date had continued, lol.

RE: Smelling something funny?

wash it off, it's still good.

RE: What do you talk about PREDOMIMINATELY when you first meet?

Two things I never bring up:
1.) past relationships
2.) money

Especially not on a first date.

RE: would you?

Probably not. I mean if he just impregnated someone within the last 9 months, then he either a.) really cared about her and could reconcile once the baby is born, or b.) he sleeps around alot. Doesn't mean we couldn't be friends though.

RE: How Honest Are you?

The difference between alone and lonely is that you can still be lonely in a room full of people. I've decided not to fret over being single and use this time to make myself the best person I can be - not for anyone else, but for ME. I also consider myself a work in progress. I used to be overweight and unhappy. So I decided to take charge and have lost 30 lbs so far and my attitude has done a 360, and I haven't been this happy in years. So I say, take this opportunity to improve yourself (for you, not in the hopes of getting someone). You can't feel lonely if you're busy doing other things.

RE: What are you thankful for or what blessing has been bestowed upon you

Everyday is a blessing, and I am thankful for all of it - good and bad.

RE: Got a

I keep getting guys who lives hours away wanting me to meet them halfway after the first email. Strange town, no witness... I don't think so, lol.

RE: Favorite Commercials!!

I don't watch tv much, but there's these radio commercials called "Real Men of Genius" for some beer. They're HILARIOUS!!

RE: When women are looking for a man to marry , Not date . What matters most ?

Money comes and goes, looks fade, but it's the personality that makes the man.

RE: You've been dating someone for a while and realize that you don't want to date them anymore...

I don't have much experince in this but I would try to give an explanation if I could.

Only time I ever broke it off, he lived 2 hours away and didn't want me calling him because he didn't want to "waste" his cellphone minutes. And he'd never return my email or texts. Then, he'd randomly show up one day and want to hang out for a week. Since I never got to talk to him unless he was in town, and he specifically said not to call him, I didn't and stopped returning his phone call. That's when he decided to move here - two blocks behind where I work no less, but I haven't seen or heard from him since.

RE: Would a US woman ever date a British man

Oh yes! I love the British accent.

I once dated a guy born in England, but had moved here to the States. But it was destinated to not work out. His profile said he didn't smoke, but he smoked like a chimney, just not cigarettes if you get my point.

RE: Your First Love.

Ah, first love. I was 14. Dillon was a year older than me. I had the biggest crush on him ever, but was waaay too shy to say anything. He was a juvenile delinquent (always getting kicked out of school, abandoned by his mom, dad died, lived with drug-dealing uncle, always in trouble with the law, etc). Then one day he ran away. Afterwards, I find out from his cousin's mom that he had told her he was dating me! (Which wasn't true.)
So fast forward a year later, he shows up in town again. I was walking home from work, he stopped me, and we talked for a bit. He cried and said I was the only person who was nice to him and that he really cared for me alot, he missed seeing me almost everyday, and asked if he could tell people I was his girlfriend (awwww! hey! we were kids! lol).
A few days later, I found out he had been arrested for selling drugs. I went to college, he went to jail, and I never saw him again.
Probably for the best, lol.

RE: No bagage, no headgames please. How I sooo dislike these statements

Relationships are like airplanes. Everyone has baggage, some more than others. You get a small carry-on and the rest gets stored below the plane. When someone brings more than their fair share of baggage, they need to ride the plane with those who have less. Otherwise, there will be WAY too much baggage on the plane and it will crash and burn.

Unfortunately, some people (like my ex) take up the whole dang plane.

RE: Alone and/or Lonely?

I am alone and not lonely. I'm actually quite content to be alone (with my kitties, lol!) rather than be in a relationship I was not happy with.

RE: should you judge people by what they look like

We should never judge others, but most people do anyway. But, that's a big difference from just not being attracted to a certain characteristic. I am also overweight right now, and I'm losing it (22 pounds so far ). Who I am as a person has not changed, and will not change. I prefer to determine whether or not I like someone based on their actions and behavior, not their appearance.

RE: Moving on

Time. It was the only thing that made the pain go away for me. But, for me, it wasn't so much the breaking up part as it was being angry and hurt at what he did to me. Years later, it still bothers me if I let myself think of it.

RE: whos taken and who is not taken

Not taken yet. Maybe someday. I have bad luck with finding only jerks.
