RE: One month before

Not for me. It's another work day and another 12 hour shift so will likely be too tired to do anything but sleep anyway. And there's been no significant other in my life in over a year but it doesn't concern me one way or the other.

RE: What's your favorite book?

Just finished reading a true story by John Grisham called "An Innocent Man". It's still on the best seller list and is a real page turner. I highly recommend it.

RE: What's your favorite book?

Don't have a particular favorite but I do have some favorite authors, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, V C Andrews, Dan Brown.

My favorite genres are historical fiction (loved the Kent Family Chronicles by John Jakes), and true crime such as Ann Rule

RE: Do You Believe That We All Have a Soulmate in the World?

Dustin, I suppose a mail order soul mate is an option. I get emails from Russian and Chinese women all the time. But realistically, it would just be a matter of time after obtaining their Canadian citizenship that they'd be moving on. No thanks, would rather be alone. If my soul mate is indeed out there somewhere, chances are she lives in Outer Mongolia.

RE: WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF....

You mean to suggest that I would have to find some other means of getting a life?? Blasphemy!!!

RE: Do You Believe That We All Have a Soulmate in the World?

I think the old adage of "someone for everyone" is a myth. After having been in the dating world for nearly 7 years now I've come to the point where I just don't believe that a significant other in my life is in the cards for me.

RE: What would you do if..

Wish them better luck than I'm having..

RE: How come some men don't want Ladies with kids?

Even though my children are older and almost out the door I have encountered this issue from time to time. I think it's one reason why I have trouble getting my dating life off the ground.

RE: If he/she is so perfect why still single?

I will never settle but I can picture myself when I'm 75 and sitting in my rocking chair on the back porch all alone.

And then I see myself kicking off and no one will even notice I'm missing until my neighbors complain "what the hell's that stench?"

It would be great to have a significant other in my life but I'm becoming more and more convinced that it's just not in the cards for me.

RE: Whats going on?????

Abby, if a cute girl like you isn't having much luck here then what hope is there for an average Joe like me??

RE: How many women make the first step/introduction?

How come it's always up to us men to face up to rejection??
Ladies, try it, then maybe you can better understand why we sometimes hesitate.

RE: What is your favorite cartoon?

uhhhhhh.... hehehehe... Beavis and Butthead, they were Cool!! heheheh
Ren and Stimpy
Family Guy
Foghorn Leghorn
Daffy Duck

RE: Tim Hortons Hate Club.

I like Timmy's coffee but I'm not addicted to it. I live right behind one and sometimes I'll walk over just to see if anyone I know is hanging out.
I do love the ice caps on a hot summer day.

RE: New Year's Eve

Single, my plans are almost identical. Will most likely hit the local bar and alas, no one to kiss at midnight, either. Or any other time for that matter.

RE: Do you really know anyone here?

Ooops, that's not quite true. One of my best friends is also on the site.

RE: Do you really know anyone here?

Don't really know anyone although I met a few of you once at one of the events and I do have a cyber friend in Ontario who I am corresponding with and getting to know better.

RE: When is the next event

Sat nights and the occasional Friday night are my only nights free. I can't promise but I can say that most likely I could make it then.

RE: DESTINED TO BE ALONE??? WHERES MY MR. RIGHT?!?!?!

Well let's see..

didn't date at all in high school, hardly at all the next few years, married young to a hopeless alcoholic for 17 years and was in many ways alone during that time , family thousands of miles away, been in the dating world for about 7 years filled with many disappointments and heartbreak, working a 60 hour week, single dad of 3 children along with the accompanying burdens, live in a small town, and I'm not perfect.

Yep, at least for the foreseeable future, I think I'm destined to be alone.

The future?? Well, it's certainly a possibility that my kids will be scattered all over and when I cash in my chips no one will even notice I'm missing until the neighbors complain, "what the hell's that stench??"

RE: I want A date

I hear ya Kitty, it's been awhile for me too, and it isn't just Friday night but Saturday nights too.

It gets to be a drag after awhile going to the sports bar, downing a few brewskies and watching Hockey Night in Canada on the big screen. Kinda leaves a man cold, ya know?? Something warm, soft, smelling good and posessing a pulse would be a very nice change indeed.

RE: What do you want for Christmas?

30 inches of snow??? Noooooooooo!!!!

RE: Dating....

Cougars with younger men are common but I have yet to see it the other way around, younger woman with older man, unless the older man is loaded.

RE: Feeling sad

We all get the blues now and again and fantasies are often rosier than reality. Call someone who you haven't seen or talked to in a long time, invite someone out just for a friendly coffee, visit family if they are not too far away. These are just a few things that work for me. Or sometimes I'll just go and hook up with my good friend Jack Daniels or Captain Morgan, .

RE: What do you want for Christmas?

Making love with a beautiful woman on a bearskin rug, in a cabin in the mountains, and champagne on ice. Ah well, pass me a beer, will you please??

RE: Try to Say something Intelligent

I don't think it's worth all that wear and tear on a hen's butt for a dozen eggs.

RE: Best concert?

The absolute best concert I ever saw was Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet band at Cobo Hall in Detroit. The man and his band are all from Michigan so maybe it was because they were sort of playing for their hometown fans because they really poured their heart and soul into it.

A close second was Kiss with special guests Cheap Trick when I was still living in the Moncton, NB area. Long time ago, they were still wearing their makeup back then and Gene Simmons was complete with long forked tongue, high heeled boots, and breathing fire. Good show!!

RE: Whats going on?????

It took awhile for me to hear anything too and I'm no matinee idol either. Curiously I don't connect with anyone local, the nearest originating email I received was Ontario, and of course a few from China, lolol.

RE: TV shows you use to watch

Yeh, some shows I completely forgot about, thanks for the memories

RE: TV shows you use to watch

Party of Five
Life Goes On

RE: TV shows you use to watch

Different Strokes
The Young Riders

RE: what is real love?

Same thing has happened to me, been told that they love me and then they are looking for the exit door shortly thereafter. Love must be nurtured and grown, if neglected it will eventually die on the vine.
