RE: anything

Well, Kinsale is usually a good craic at the weekends, no festival down there this weekend, but lots of live bands and stuff.

Sun is doing its best to come out..

RE: threads~does the Op own a thread?? do they have the right to direct people around in it??

OMG, what's wrong with me????

Im turning into a 50's Housewife here...

RE: threads~does the Op own a thread?? do they have the right to direct people around in it??

Its extremely easy, sitting behind a PC, especially late at night when youre tired and if a drink has been taken, to get drawn into arguments and say things you really dont mean. Also, given that we are unable to read facial expressions and eyes through the posts, things so often get taken out of context.

I, certainly, have been guilty of this in the past.

I have been hurt deeply by some comments made on here in the past. So, given that knowledge, I can appreciate more how some of my past comments may have hurt too. We, none of us ever mean to be nasty, but sometimes things can come out like that, unintentionally.

Its good to take a step back sometimes, draw a few deep breaths, and realise what is REALLY important here. That is, to make friends and hopefully find that elusive romance.

RE: threads~does the Op own a thread?? do they have the right to direct people around in it??

Exactly, Hess..

We live and learn..

Nice to see you again..take care..

Youre a Big Squishy Marshmallow, in a Spikey Armour, Yon Dutchman..

RE: threads~does the Op own a thread?? do they have the right to direct people around in it??

Absolutely..

If we all realised that insults and hurtful comments can hurt just as much on here as in RL, then we would all have a nicer time, in my opinion..

RE: Home Sweet Home... (I think)

Exactly..follow your heart. If you hadnt had tried, you would have always been wondering.

I intend to do the same thing..

RE: threads~does the Op own a thread?? do they have the right to direct people around in it??

Are you saying that you treat people differently here to what you would in your life outside CS? Im just curious..

RE: Home Sweet Home... (I think)

Hi Morgan..

I agree with others; you were a courageous and gutsy lady for doing what you do, and I salute you.. I dont care what anyone says - its much more difficult for a woman to make that move on her own than for a man.

At least with Malta, there are a lot of similarities to England, so I understand, so it could have been worse!!

I have no family here in Ireland; my mom lives in England and my sister lives in the US, so it really makes no difference to me if I chose to move to either of these countries again. But Im lucky, from the point of view that I have no committments here - as in no children, or property ties. I can totally understand how hard it would be to leave your children, WHATEVER age then are. They are still your babies - No??!

I respect you a great deal, Morgan, for what you have done..

RE: Ladies why not just an honest "I'm not interested".

Thanks, JD...

Fellow Devil's Advocate...

RE: It is possible to find a woman who doesn' wanna have a kid?

I have not had children, due to personal issues, but I have not felt deprived in any way.

I had step children, which was a tough job, and had its ups and downs. Im now mid-40s, so would find it tough to have children now anyway as Im set in my ways.

But no, Im sure there are plenty of women out there who dont want, or cant have kids who are lovely ladies..

RE: Ladies why not just an honest "I'm not interested".

Is there ANY nationality of lady that you DO like, JD????????

RE: how soon is to soon to move in

As soon as you wake up every morning, thinking of them, go to sleep thinking of them, and cant wait to see them again.

Thats when..

CS World

So, whats happening in CS World, folks?? Anything good, bad, sad, funny, annoying, or simply something you want to share???

Anyone any new news on the dating front? Anyone bored, and just want to rant at the world, or are we all blissfully happy??!



I, myself, am blissfully happy!! Weird..

RE: Any ladies up for a date tonight.

You sound like a polite, fun, and caring guy, david. If I wasnt taken already, I would meet you for a drink myself!

Have a great weekend, ok?

RE: i Am still looking for my guy

Ciao...

RE: i Am still looking for my guy

Its extremely kind of you to offer the guys your assistance Sir, but personally, I dont think they REQUIRE your help, thanks all the same..

I think I would rather talk with a guy who knew he was rather shy and lacking in a bit of confidence than some guy who was over full of himself, and brimming with very unnattractive arrogance. Reading a book makes no guy Dr Lurrrrve, however much they talk themselves into thinking that they are so...

Enjoy the forums...!

RE: Do you tell your real life friends that you're in a dating site?

Well, you and I are like-minded, my dear!!

RE: Do you tell your real life friends that you're in a dating site?

Exactly..

Do you remember those old newspaper ads:-

"Lady, 44, seeks TG, with GSOH,not looking for FWB,or a FB, preferably not a YUPPY.."



Um, what??!

At least here, we can read people's words and get an idea of their nature..well, with MOST anyway...

RE: Do you tell your real life friends that you're in a dating site?

I think there used to be a stigma attached to online dating due to the fact that it may come across as being "desperate", so alot of people kept it quiet that they were subscribed. That, of course, is not true at all.

Given the sad state of the world, and the number of dangerous, rude, and generally unsavoury characters in the world, it is not quite so safe to to out to bars, or clubs, or whatever to meet prospective dates. So, people are turning to online.

Yes, there are strange people here, but at least online you can block and/or delete if you dont wish to continue communication; in a bar it is not as easy to walk away.

As regards Jesse's comment about "real life" - yes, I totally agree with him. In general, the words here come from people who feel, hurt, cry, laugh, etc, as much as in any other environment, so as far as Im concerned, this IS real life, or at least a part of it.

Im very happy to be on here, I have met a lovely man already and I have absolutely zero regrets about joining an online site.

RE: Would you date a woman out of your social circle?

It doesnt matter to me what a guy does for a living. In fact, I actually prefer a guy who comes home, dripping in sweat after a hard day in the fields, or on the site..

I do like a good sharp sense of humor, and common interests, but other than that - I dont care what he does for a living..

As long as he treats me good, then it doesnt matter to me..

RE: Any men on here who actually like women?

I know you did, my friend..

I felt the vibes...

RE: Any men on here who actually like women?

Careful, Pal..

You know how close I am to My Good Friend, Bubba...



Ah, how I've missed the quiet tranquility of the Forum...

RE: Any men on here who actually like women?

There's a joke in there somewhere, but its before the watershed so I'd best button it...

RE: Any men on here who actually like women?

Ah, Sweet Memories...

RE: Destiny of a Relationship

RE: Destiny of a Relationship

Excellent post, slim...

RE: Destiny of a Relationship

As I posted to you on the other thread, riz, dont agree with you, sorry.

These "manipulators" as you call them, can ATTEMPT to break a relationship. They can TRY to cause a split, and I suppose some do that for many a reason, it is not to me to reason why..and if they succeed, then to me, it just means the relationship was not strong enough in the first place, so no great loss.

If, however, a couple are truely meant to be together, and their belief is strong enough and their love for each other is really deep, then NO ONE can break that.

RE: Destiny of a Relationship

RE: Destiny of a Relationship

NO third party has the power to break a relationship, other than the two people involved.

Some may try, for their own reasons, but ultimately, if two people want to be together, and their belief in each other is great enough, and their desire to work things out is strong enough, then it will work, depsite others' efforts to the contrary.

Gossip CAN have a great and damaging effect on some people, and it can cause a GREAT deal of unpleasantness. But, in the long run, if two people want to be together, and take the time to talk, communicate and REALLY know what is in each other's hearts, then NO OTHER PERSON ON THIS EARTH can put that assunder..

Interesting thread, SV...
