RE: Love songs for all you romantics.

That was really great! Thanks, Jan. I always like Neil Young. You'll like this one, I suppose?

RE: Love at last

Oh, I was previously aiming for eternal love, so I stayed in my marriage for 22 long years. But now, I could take 6 months of pure bliss and won't regret it.

So, never mind, Tom and Jan (your names even sound good together) -- just enjoy it and see where it takes you

RE: i bet none of you know who you really are ? the purpose for being on planet earth and the mystery's

Good idea ... that would be quite a makeover for us to see!

In answer to your question, gilly - you're right, on my part I don't really know the purpose for being on planet earth and the mysteries, but I try to be the best person I can be, in every way I know how.

Like Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in this world." Having said that .. now, I suggest you take guiri's offer to knit you another hat

RE: SMOKYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Smoky! Best wishes!

RE: Love at last

Hi Phoenix!

I don't know much about football or soccer, I'm afraid. In fact, I won't even know the difference. I would not be able to distinguish a Man U or Liverpool or a Rode Duivels team in a million years. They all look the same to me -- just a bunch of guys kicking one ball for fun in their shiny shorts and nylon shirts with numbers on them.

BUT, what I can tell you, my dear fellow, is that I can - without a smidgeon of doubt - recognize a quality woman when I see one.

RE: Artist desperately seeking EU men with intellect and heart!

Don't worry, you're learning fast These guys are just winding you up a little, I guess just to make you loosen up a bit. And I understand that very well. My only sister was so much like you when we were younger -- very much of an intellectual, very spiritual, extremely sensitive, awfully serious, frighteningly religious. I used to tease her to bits, and it always gave me a kick. But it did not mean I did not love her and admired her the way she was. I did and I still do.

What I'm trying to say is, you don't give people your time of day if they are not worth it or if you don't care. Well, I don't. You just let them get on with their lives .. without giving them a little glance or a word.

RE: Love songs for all you romantics.

I just want to share this lovely song to everyone:



It could be a long time coming, but you'll get one yourself. There is always a right person for everyone -- and it's worth the wait. So keep hoping like I do!

Good night

RE: Artist desperately seeking EU men with intellect and heart!

Yes, don't take it the wrong way. I think he just wants to know more about you as a woman in his own manly way of inquiring. Lots of guys associate things with ball games because of their fondness to the sports.. or with any kind of ball they would like to play with for that matter.. This is a dating site, after all, and one cannot expect serious talk all the time. It should also be fun, isn't it?

RE: Artist desperately seeking EU men with intellect and heart!

I know what you mean .. Never played volleyball in my life. Quite a terrifying sport actually. With all that gravitating motion on the front side, I always have this eerie feeling that after the game, I will be picking my 'twinset' up from the floor or find them back somewhere on another side of my body.

But you know, I could understand Phoenix' or any other man's healthy interest in the sport. I guess it must be quite fun for some guys to see ... all that motion. Perfectly normal, I must say.

RE: Love at last

Yep! lucky, lucky man indeed! He must have made a lot of CS guys green with envy. Jan seems to be a delightful lady -- kind and expressive, intelligent and hot. I wish I could find the male version of her here .. not necessarily with the same front view, of course

RE: Artist desperately seeking EU men with intellect and heart!

Hello symbolistartist,

I really admire your honesty and strength in speaking your truth and your humility in recognizing and accepting your weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It takes a lot of courage and substance. I like reading you (as so many others do, if you have noticed the number of people who have come to your thread).

No, for a woman of your intellect, character and talent, it won't be easy for you to find a match here as you are very special and unique. But I'm sure there's somebody out there for you. At any rate, it is certainly nice to see a person like you grace this site.

I wish you the best of luck in finding a suitable partner. Please, no matter how "desperate" you are, don't settle for anything less than you deserve. But I guess you already know that ..

RE: Love songs for all you romantics.

Hi Jan! I've read somewhere you're now an item with some very lucky guy in a sheepskin coat. My best wishes!

I hope he'll turn out to be just as good as you expect him to be.
This is for both of you:




Good night!

RE: Britain's got Talent

Lovely!

Check this out ..

RE: Love songs for all you romantics.

This is the coolest thread ever! The camaraderie, peace, the music ... it goes very well with a nice herbal tea before going to bed. Thanks, Jan, for creating this one.

I always enjoy listening to "Caruso", too, especially the version of Lucio Dalla. I hope you'll like this one as well. It always touches my heart...




Bonne nuit, ma belle!

Good night, all

RE: Why Western Women are GREAT!!!

They know what they want and what they don't want - and to hell with it!

They can speak their minds, whether you like it or not, and if you don't like it - to hell with it!

They accept you for what you are, but they can also kick your butt!

Long live, Western Women! You can take them or leave them -- like hell they can manage!

RE: Multiple Intelligence (MI), which one are you?

Good morning, all,

Hmmm.. interesting thread, Imma, but too difficult for a Sunday morning. I want my grey cells to vegetate in the weekends.

Salut!

RE: Love songs for all you romantics.

Thanks a lot for that, Jan.

This one is for you:

RE: hi ladies would you date a guy that smoked.

Exactly, Polarbutterfly. My mom and grandma smoked. I never mind and I never smoke. They had a full life and that's all that matters..

If I love the guy and he's got 10 years more to live, I'll make him the happiest man on earth. And I'll be happy.

RE: Would you date with a woman/man who is 20 years older than you????

lol

way to go, sommer!

RE: hi ladies would you date a guy that smoked.

I don't date a guy just because he is a non-smoker. He may be a non-smoker, but if I don't feel attracted to him or he does not have the qualities I want, then no way. For me, it's irrelevant.

RE: Would you date with a woman/man who is 20 years older than you????

Definitely not! When they are over 8 years older than I am, I don't see any potential. I don't need a toyboy, but I want a man who can still function - in all areas.

RE: hi ladies would you date a guy that smoked.

Why not? As long as he doesn't have bad breath. Besides, I will not drop a man I love just because he smokes. Smoking relieves tension. I'd rather have him smoking than be a nervous wreck. There are other worse things that can kill you. You die when your time comes, no matter what..

RE: Girls....

I'm pretty satisfied with mine, but I could appreciate a lovely one when I see one (or two for that matter) -- fit for a Rubens' masterpiece

RE: Girls....

lol

Oh, that's even better! I'm sure that will do the trick. Nicely and slowly .. I like the Antonio Banderas part best. I think I'll take that advice myself Now I just have to buy myself a pair of red satin shoes..

RE: Girls....

Easy - throw them away and buy new ones!

Hi, Marki! your lips are so beautiful

Dating One with a Young Child

Thanks, Tainogirl, and hi again! It's also partly my fault - I did not have patience to wait for him to ease things along. I figured a child is entitled to his parent's full attention and I did not want to compete with him. Or I just did not have enough feelings for the guy to make it really work.

Anyway, I'm sure there are guys who will accept you and your child as a package, but may I just suggest that you start easing the idea into your child's mind now to prepare him when the situation comes?

Dating One with a Young Child

Well, I originally did not see it as a problem either, until I dated one. In fact, I was so glad to find a guy I really liked who was just a few years younger than I and he had a cute young boy I would have liked to treat as my own as I don't have one. Only the boy got so jealous of his father's attention to me and he was so attached to his mom. I finally decided to call it quits.. I did not know how to deal with it.

Dating One with a Young Child

Hi! This is my first thread and would like to know what you think about the subject: Have you ever dated someone with a young child who still lives with the person you're dating and did it work? If you still do, is it creating any problem? How do you deal with it?

RE: Am I a Hillbilly??...a Hick, a Yahoo?

It could just be your bucolic nerve screaming for the countryside.. or the artist in you, but I wouldn't call it "unsophisticated and uncultured" And what's wrong with being a country boy?

Country and western music can be romantic, dreamy and sentimental. I still prefer J.S. Bach, Roger Waters, Richard Cocciante, and lounge music like the Hotel Costes or Buddha Bar series. The last ones don't make me a bohemian, does it? I think we all prefer something that touches a part of us a little or just let us be in our private moments, sophisticated or not.

Just enjoy it, okay?

RE: SHOULD AGE BE A PROBLEM ??

It shouldn't be a problem if there is true love.

It does not boost my ego if he is younger (most men who write me and met are) if he does not have the qualifications I want. And there are younger men who look older than their age.

I still prefer a man of my age or a little bit more, as it seems only men of that age bracket have the potential of meeting my requirements. And I do damn well have my own requirements. It's not for being fussy. I guess when you're at a later age and you're confident enough you can take care of yourself, you won't settle for anything less than what you actually want.

Still, in saying that.. when TRUE LOVE comes into the picture, there is always room for compromise. After all, love is not a one-way street.
