RE: Are woman mean?

Phoenix, I agree. GM is definitely doing something wrong.

He is probably too worried about how much the meal is going to cost and portraying himself as a "cheapskate" that he is scarying off the women, or maybe he is not that interesting. I am sure, if wasn't so worried about spending a few Euros/dollars and he was a bit interesting he would have more luck with the ladies.

RE: Are woman mean?

GenuineMale, its not about money, its about being a gentleman. I personally have money to pay for my own dinners and more, but it is a nice gesture when a man offers to pay. I don't usually to go an expensive restaurant on a first date b/c I don't want him to spend too much money.

You state that the first date is as friends, then it will stay that way. First impressions are important, and when a man offers to pay, it makes one feel special.

If you are so worried about spending money on a lady, why bother, stay at home or go out with your friends. If your cheap most likely you won't get a second date.

RE: Why.................

There are good and bad people everywhere, but sometimes we don't cross paths. And, maybe b/c you think there are no more honest people out there, you aren't giving people a chance b/c you already think they are not. Be more open and accepting of people, and you will find them. They are out there saying the same thing, "are there any honest women." So, be positive and look at the good things people have to offer. People want to be around happy, positive people.

RE: What would you do?

Why bring it up, he is dead. There is nothing to gain from knowing if he cheated or not, so its best to remember the good things that person did, instead of bringing up infidelity or other negative things.

RE: comfort foods...

Ok, this is kinda disgusting, but I think you can only get these in the U.S., when I am really down I like chili cheese fries (fries topped with chili and melted cheese) yum. Lucky for me I'm a happy person, so I only have these a couple times a year. They're the best!

RE: Ladies only....Frumpy Cardigans

OMG, I have an obsession with cardies, I must have over 50 (several in my fave colors). They are the best!

RE: I need a lawyers advice.....

Good luck and keep us posted.

RE: Where would you go?

I love to travel and been to Paris many times (like the food, shopping, etc.), but it is true, I have noticed that people are not that friendly and a bit stuck-up.

I am totally obsessed with traveling to Sweden/Finland, maybe when it gets warmer I will go.

Though I would really like to purchase a home somewhere in Europe within the next couple of years, don't know where.

RE: I need a lawyers advice.....

Hi Phoenix,

I am a landlord (in Los Angeles) and of course the laws are different, but these are questions you might want to ask, maybe you are able to go to the authorities.

1. Is there a rental agreement?

2. If so, does the agreement mention anything about about who is allowed to have keys to the property?

3. If the landlord has the keys is he supposed to give notice to tenant stating that he is entering the property?

4. Is there a possibility that your friend could have taken the property or that she could have given a key to someone without your knowledge.

5. Are there witnesses as to the property you put in the property and as to the fact that it is now missing.

Basically, if you go to the authorities or if you want to pursue legal action, you definitely need proof, without it you will probably not be able to do anything to recover your lost property.

RE: Are phone call's better than letter's...?

Nooooooooooo, no phone calls.

For myself, I always get too emotional and then end up saying the wrong thing. And you cannot edit a conversation.

You can be more explicit putting things in writing and explain yourself.

If a conversation goes wrong it will be very difficult to repair the damage.

RE: Men in the World

Twinself, you are right, people just talk without meaning to do it (both men and women). I have had similar situations where men say they are going to repair something in my house, but I never take them seriously b/c they usually want something in return. I usually just pay someone to fix whatever, I don't want to owe anybody any favors.

But yes, if I ever met Mr. Right, I would definitely like him to be handy around the house.

RE: Guys that Still Live at Home with Mom..

It is sometimes cultural. I'm Mexican raised in the U.S. (I moved out of my parents house right after High School, which is very uncommon), and from my experience, most Hispanic cultures men/women don't move out until they are married. I find this to be a complete turn off. If I meet someone that still lives with their parents, I do not pursue the relationship.

I just feel that if they are in their 30s and still living at home they are conformists and if they move in with a girlfriend they probably expect to be catered to like their mothers.

RE: Do u believe that money is a matter for a healthy relation?

Ogden,

Speak for yourself, most American women that I know are not "gold diggers". We areproud to work and be able to support ourselves and have a good life. The last thing that I expect in this world is to be looking for a man to support me financially or give me money. That comment is very offensive to me, I have never taken money from any man, and never will.

RE: Do u believe that money is a matter for a healthy relation?

Robert,

Definitely, I totally agree with you. The ideal person is not someone who is rich, but someone who has the potential to provide a good life both men and women.

RE: Do u believe that money is a matter for a healthy relation?

I disagree, a lot of us ladies have a nice life and can take care of ourselves financially, we don't need to be mooching of any man.

But at the same time, I would like to meeti someone who is also financially independent that doesn't mooch of me.

Money is not important as long as both people respect and don't take advantage of each other.

RE: office work place romance/dating

Tina,

Have you heard the saying:

Don't get your honey where you get your money!

Well, take this advice, if its for casual dating, stick to finding somone outside of work. If you ask and you get rejected, it will be very ackward for you afterwards.

Unless both parties are very interested, don't. Take it from someone that has seen many romances that start in the office sour quickly.

RE: tell me that there are better men than him! please!

MJames,
That is unfair of you to turn it around and blame her, he is the one that is engaged and he also encourage the long-distance communication. It takes two to tango. If he was engaged and committed to someone else, he should have been honest and told her that he was in another relatinship and that if she wanted to continue communicating with him, it would be only platonic.

RE: Why are so many young men interested in 'older' women these days?

Or maybe because they want to go out with someone who knows what they want out of life and don't want to deal with the uncertainty of younger women.

Why is it so different than when men go out with younger women, maybe we want the same thing.

RE: Three things about where you live...

RE: Three things about where you live...

1. Weather is always great, only rains a handful of days during the hear.

2. There are very diverse people from all over the world everywhere you go.

3. Shopping is fantastic, you can find anything you would can think of and ever need or want.
