I'm gonna see where it leads, hopefully good. There have been some key things I've noticed about her that I really like and haven't seen in other girls I've met in the past couple yrs. Some that really stands out is, she contacted me, and she calls me, isn't afraid to hold my hand or such, very outgoing, oh the list goes on. She displays all the qualities I desire, so I really hope it works out
None of the three scare me. The thing that scares me the most, is the heartbreak I felt in the past, and the fear of it happening again. I have just begun "seeing" someone, and I am very happy to have a shot at finding love again, but the fear of going down the same hurtfull path as before. I will not let my past affect this, it would be dumb to do so.
As a lot of you know, my father underwent triple bi-pass surgery last wednesday. The surgery went well, but they had to go back in to correct a small rupture in a bloodvessel post bi-pass later wednesday afternoon. It wasn't nothing major, but my mom and I didn't know, and we were a nervous wreck. He has progressed very well, and looks like he'll be home tomorrow. They are quite amazed with his progress, especially considering he is a diabetic. So the heavy burden I carried much of last week has been lifted.
Early last week I recieved a email here from a woman near me in Cardington, Ohio, a few minutes away. We talked for some amount of time last week. I came home friday night, and went to her parent's house here in Marion to meet her (she was housesitting while they were out of state). We hit things off very well over the phone, and it continued when we met in person. We went out sunday afternoon, to have dinner and see a movie. Being the romantic sap I am, I got her a dozen white roses. She was so suprised when I walked in the door with them. We had a great time. I also went to see her yesterday, and she cooked a wonderfull dinner, and we hung out.
Things are going quite well right now, and I hope they continue to grow. Only time will tell where this will lead.
What's up? Just dropped by for a couple minutes. They did the bi-pass surgery on my dad today. I've been back in the SICU (surgical intensive care unit) a few times to see him. He's doing better and better each visit. It just tears me up to see him like that, hooked up to about every machine possible, completely helpless, and nothing I can do except be there. I like to be able to control a situation as much as possible, and I am just as helpless. It's been hard keeping my emotions in check to keep from getting my mom all worked up. Yes, he's doing ok considering what he has just went thru, but I still worry nonetheless. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
I thought I would drop in and say hello. My dad was supposed to have surgery today, but his info from the columbus vetrans didn't come in yet. They said tomorrow or wednesday for the surgery. But the one the ladies need to follow is right here
Thank you all once again. My mom called to tell me tuesday, that the surgery will be monday August 7th, at the Cleveland Vetrans Hospital. He is up there now doing all the preliminary testing. My mom and I will be going up sunday after she gets off work. I changed the oil in my truck and such, and have it ready to go. I am going over to my parents house tomorrow to get the living room set up for the bed the are bringing for him when he leaves the hospital. Things seem to be going well, but I am still very nervous and scared. I will try to update next week, providing they have internet access up there, which I'm sure they do. Much love to my friends, and everyone else who has shown so much caring and support.
Yes you're right, I am not in one myself. I have been in a long term relationship before. I know how men think, from the good ones to the bad ones. I'm not saying I'm going to be exactly right every time, but maybe give my perspective, or a recomendation to help. I think I can see things from many perspectives, and possibly help. The last yr for me has been none the less, eye opening.
What is he into? What are the things that he really enjoys? With that knowledge, think of something along that line. If he likes a certain brand of cologne ( my favorite is Armani Aqua Digio for example ). Are you going for a big expensive gift or just something simple? If you know what he likes, a present shouldn't be no problem
In the Hunkathon thread I was asked what I do when it comes to the women I date, like what I do, ect.... It seemed to draw pretty good responses from the ladies, so I figured I have a thread where I'd give the ladies & gents a chance to ask questions pertaing romance, dating ect...., and to offer any insights to each other. I will try to monitor this as much as I can, to give my thoughts and opinions.
I want to thank all of you for the overwhelming support. It's hard when you have to be the one who always has to show strength for loved ones. It is a very heavy burden to keep your emotions in check so as to be there for those you love. It's great to be a pillar of strength, but in this situation it is so hard to maintain. I have never been a quiter, so the straight face must remain, and see how the situation will unfold.
My father will be having a triple bi-pass surgery here in the near future. We found out he had a couple previous mild heart attacks, no noticeable damage, but from the tests he has 80 percent blockage in his three main arteries. My father is also diabetic, which adds further fuel to the fire. My parents do not have health insurance, dad can't work and mom's work doesn't offer. Thank goodness he is an ex-marine. The veterans administration has helped the out quite a lot for numerous expenses. They have not set a date for surgery yet. I'm scared to death about it, I lost an uncle, and a close friend of the family in the last five yrs, after going thru major bi-pass surgery. I have started working as much overtime as I can, so I can afford to take time off of work to be at the hospital. I live in Marion, Ohio, and the hospital is in Cleveland, Ohio. So that means traveling expenses as well as loss of time at work. I can take FMLA, so the time off is no problem, but I don't recieve pay, so work, work, work!I'm holding up fine, I just have a lingering fear due to past experiences of dealing with this type of situation. Any updates that I have, I will post
Yes, I've met a about 6 women from off the net. A couple of them I have went out with more than once. I obviously haven't met Ms. Right yet, seeing as how I'm still flying solo
The one thing I like about meeting women online, I'm meeting women I'd have probably never met otherwise. I guess you could say it broadens my horizon.
Yes, there is still men like that out there. I would like to consider myself one of them. I think we should be put on the endangered species list, we're dying out fast

RE: AGRESSIVE or CONFIDENT...Question for the men...
In all honesty, I like it when a woman will act on what she wants.
