'Notice' and believe aren't the same. Be fair to the OP. We all have standards, and they are all different. I'd not want a beer swilling yobette who spends every Friday and Saturday 'on the lash' and every Sunday afternoon back at the pub for the meat raffle.
That said, I swear, fart, burp and am as full of crude innuendos as the next person.
I think the OP feels that, to be satisfied and stimulated mentally, they require a certain level of knowledge and ability.
Whilst I agree that spelling and grammar in no way confirm such traits, I do think that the TOTAL LACK of these abilities, not just a typo or two, DO imply the lack of them. For the OP, this is important.
I dislike grammar and spelling issues too. But to be FAIR, Many people may have TYPING issues, rather than spelling ones. On top of that, we are often eager to get out point across and do not spend the necessary time proofing our comments, in the rush to post them whilst they are still relevant. I feel we have to consider these points too.
In an EMAIL, I'd consider it different. There's time to construct your letter thoughtfully. Perhaps not to a friend, where you simply swapping banter, but certainly when introducing yourself, as it were.
I have an additional excuse - I bought a cheap, nasty keyboard from the local "50 cent" shop here in Spain, and there are some keys that don't always respond - lol.
I tend to agree - I have been in BOTH situations in my life. Having someone around whom you 'adore' is purgatory - believe me. But, having also been in a place where you KNOW there's someone out there who'd take the same risks as YOU to 'find out'. That's death too... lol.
Sure - but what if you just cannot ever meet. You both work, have financial or physical commitment to your own places. Neither of you wants to jsut 'hook up' twice a year! There's too much respect.
's Advocate... I can see your thinking. It is POSSIBLE to understand the 'local' situation, but KNOWING there's someone out there who feels the same...
I DO - an unnecessary decision. I have been in relationships with people 12 years younger and many years older than me. It's the PERSON.
And to say 'women do it'. is a bit sweeping, isn't it. Just like "all guys say the're thinner and 'attractive". Some do it - I'm just saying it's not needed and can case SOME negative feelings in what could have been a promising situation.
I can't agree - for me honesty is everything. If you're lying about your age (guys and girls), when it's REALLY unimportant, then lying about more serious issues could be considered a given.
I dislkie lying in myself, and struggle with it in others. I always give an honest reply, or refuse to answer if I don't want to be compromised...
1st and 3rd of the month. You'll easily recognise me - I'm the tall woman in the red cocktail dress and the goatee... Oh, and I'm all alone... Wonder why???
What's worse? Local Unrequited Love or a Connection at Distance.
hehehe - Guten Morgen - German for Good morning and a play on HER name...nín hao
