Be there and be supportive.

RE: Dating and pregnant

The OPs question was not should pregnant women be allowed to fall in love, it was would a man date a pregnant woman. There is a very big divide between the two questions. Everyone should be allowed the opportunity (or opportunities ) to fall in love - of that, there is no question. The answer to "would a man date a pregnant woman" is quite different. There are no guarantees.

RE: Dating and pregnant

First and foremost, I agree that the individual's attention should be paid right now to the unborn child, a true innocent.

There are any of a number of reasons why a man might shy away from this particular situation.
There are men, many of them, who accept responsibility for a child who is not their own in blended relationships. And, bully for them.
But to expect a man to even think about accepting responsibility for a child, not their own, still in the womb -- is, at best, a far reach. There may also be character questions - how much faith can I put in a woman who cannot maintain a relationship for nine months to a year when the welfare of a child is in question? How many one-night stands were there, before she conceived? What is the maturity level of this particular individual? And what might be reasonable expectations for us to establish/maintain a relationship? There may also be hormonal issues, concurrent with the state of pregnancy. Am I willing to endure those, while trying to establish a relationship? What responsibilities/liabilities might I be expected to assist with?

The possibilities are endless.

It just seems that taking care of the unborn child must take priority and, then later, when life has stabilized some, the time may be more appropriate for establishing a love interest/relationship.

RE: Something Went Wrong

Snuggs,
First of all - Happy Birthday to you.

Second, success is not about never failing, success is about getting back up very time you fall.

BTW, I have been dealing with cancer for the past ten years - a couple of years ago, in a reaction to the chemo, in a 13 week timeframe I went from 198 lbs to 132. Never quit. Never quit.

RE: MAN OF THE HOUSE?

A young couple were married, and celebrated their first night together, doing what newlyweds do, time and time again, all night long. Morning comes and the groom goes into the bathroom but finds no towel when he emerges from the shower. He asks the bride to please bring one from the bedroom.

When she gets to the bathroom door, he opens the door, exposing his body for the first time to his bride where she sees all of him well.

Her eyes went up and down and at about midway, they stopped and stared, and she asked shyly, "What's THAT?", pointing to a small part of his anatomy.

He, also being shy, thought for a minute and then said, "Well, that's what we had so much fun with last night."

And she, in amazement asked, "Is that all we have left?"

RE: MAN OF THE HOUSE?

It is. Isn't it?

RE: MAN OF THE HOUSE?

The train was travelling along when a beautiful young woman entered the compartment which was deserted except for a businessman reading his paper.
The man peered over his paper and asked "Would you let me f**k you for a dollar?"
"Certainly not!" exclaimed the young woman, and the businessman returned to his paper.
A short while later he looked across again and said "Would you let me f**k you for a million dollars?"
After a brief pause, the woman replied "yes, I suppose I would." Again the man returned to his newspaper.
A few minutes later the man asked "Would you let me f**k you for five dollars?"
"Certainly not!" replied the young woman, getting angry now "What kind of girl do you take me for?"
"We've already established that" replied the man, "We're just haggling over the price!"

(Turn about is fair play, eh?)

RE: I have decided to quit smoking

I have not had a cig in 19 years 5 months and xx days. I refuse to say that I quit. I have already "quit" more times than I can remember. I choose now to say that I have not been to the store to buy any cigs in a while. And , I have no need to buy any today.

One day at a time.

RE: Obama Rocks! Can America afford to doubt his new president in the time of trouble?

BSD - Get a life! Preferable one in Denmark. Or, at least somewhere in Europe. When you are ready to emigrate -- maybe, maybe, maybe we can start taking you seriously (although I rather doubt it) (know what I mean?).

Any female photags out there want to help me with my dilemna?

RE: why cant i find a decent guy?

Too many negatives in your profile. Either spin them into positives, rephrase or rewrite the profile. Specifically; two kids, pos car, looking for work, not getting along with some family - sounds too much like an invitation to trouble, rather than the opportunity to meet a vivacious creature.

BTW, how's life on the Delaware? (Old Joisey boy here)

RE: It's wild asparagus season, any cooking input's?

Ladyfinger,
If we did, I don't remember it, but I've slept since then.

RE: Who's been to Japan in the last year or so?

Lived in Korea for six years - about the latitude. Being surrounded by water, the humidity stays a little higher. Should be very muggy in the summer and very cold/icy/snowy in the winter. Spring should be beautiful with the cherry blossoms in bloom.

RE: It's wild asparagus season, any cooking input's?

Trim the ends a little (just so they're not tough), brush them with olive oil, roll 'em in a thin slice of ham or prosciutto, and tie it off with a chive. Then bake 'em in the oven at 375 for about 15 minutes.

RE: Obama Rocks! Can America afford to doubt his new president in the time of trouble?

How interesting that so many of our "foreign correspondents" have such a high opinion of our current president, and such a demeaning opinion of our previous chief executive. Truth be told, neither can be judged at the present time concerning their effectiveness in leading this great nation into the future. That assessment will be made at some point in time when all of the nuances of their leadership can be properly sorted out in a much fuller context.l

RE: What is really ticking the Republicans...

Buzzy - You'll have to explain that one to my grandchildren --- who are already in debt and aren't yet old enough to start school. I am sure that they will apppreciate your viewpoint much better than I.

Personally, I have grown weary of the greed on both ends of the economic spectrum, and fail to understand why I must be responsible, carry my own weight, and then be expected to carry a share for those who choose not to. I do not have an issue with helping those who need an occasional hand-up, but I do have an issue with being put in a position of having to help those who have nothing better to do than to demand their hand-out, upon hand-out, upon hand-out.

In my younger years, we referred to it as a sense of personal responsibility.

At any rate, I doubt that any movement in our economic situation can ever be attributed to one man - there are too many divergent forces in motion on a global scale, all at the same time, for us to assume such a narrow view.

RE: Hello Texas users!

Off to Mardi Gras in Galveston this weekend.

RE: Why do men run from a single parent?

Women will also run from a single dad - been there, done that - got the t-shirt.
Then - met a woman who was also a single parent. She had two kids, I had two kids. Three out of four were okay with our relationship. Her son detested me and saw me as trying to replace his dad. His antics destroyed any possibilities between us.
Trying to establish a solid, lasting relationship between two adults takes time and effort. Having to cope with all of the outside drama just makes it too complicated sometimes.

RE: " I LOVE YOU" 3 WORDS:STRANGLED MEANING

Two thoughts
We have become a society so enamored with the concept of immediate gratification, so that we fail to take the time to develop possibilities to their fullest potential. Hence, it would seem that the ex was in a hurry to find "next", rather than "right" - telling me that, at five months, there was a shallowness to his search.
We are also losing our ability to communicate completely and effectively, when "I love you" becomes as common as "Good morning". The words lose their meaning when they become a triviality, and fail to retain their full import.

Sassy - hang in there. I was told long ago that when one door closes, another opens. But we have to be observant enough to see which door it is, and then we have to be willing to take the risk of stepping thru the doorway. All things happen in their own good time. Be patient and observant. Time is on your side - and, when the timing is right ...

RE: Any hope left in the dating world at all??

THOUGH I AM YOUNG AND CANNOT TELL

Though I am young, and cannot tell
Either what Death or Love is well,
Yet I have heard they both bear darts,
And both do aim at human hearts.
And then again, I have been told
Love wounds with heat, as Death with cold;
So that I fear they do but bring
Extremes to touch, and mean one thing.

As in a ruin we it call
One thing to be blown up, or fall;
Or to our end like way may have
By a flash of lightning, or a wave;
So Love's inflamed shaft or brand
May kill as soon as Death's cold hand;
Except Love's fires the virtue have
To fright the frost out of the grave.

Ben Johnson

Who are we to know the wiles of fate? Trust and be still, lest you miss the humming of a heart nearby.

RE: Any hope left in the dating world at all??

Thanks, Diamond. Shoulda known you'd like the analogy.
