I wasn't taught how to cook because my Mom didn't want me to mess up the kitchen.
I can still burn a pan with water. Once burned noodles. My ex would tease me about my cooking. But once in a while, my cooking was great.
We usually took turns cooking dinner. Whoever didn't cook, would clean up. Worked pretty good.
Then I realized I could make easier menus by not using more than 6 ingredients. I also wanted to eat healthier. He would say I was doing it on purpose, not cooking meat and potatoes. This was near the end. I got fed up and said, I will cook good things for us. But if you do not like it,make a face, and complain, eat ceral. Sometimes he did.
I did know how to bake and make fried blackberries with a side of vanilla ice cream, yum.
Kid, here is an idea, I do not think I am the only one that was taught that or thinks that.
Just post a thread to the forum or make a poll and see what answers you get about it. I to be honest didn't know that guys felt that way. I really thought they would think we would be forward.
I got the sign from my new guy he wanted me to call him. So I did. I liked calling him first.
I am just telling you that I would not call a guy unless he asked me. I am not comfortable with being the first to call. Guys do call me and I like it that way.
I'm sure you love it when a women makes a point to show you she cares. My ex use to leave me little notes and love letters. He also made home made birthday and anniversary cards. But I burned them all, because he had left the building.
I am glad that you wrote how you felt. I think it is nice that a guy would like that.
He diddddddddddd. Happy about that. He's going out of town on the weekend and won't be back until Mon or Tues. He said he would call back on one of those days.
I really like a guy who says he will call and does. Then further, says at the end of the conversation, when he will call again. It's good communication.
Kid, I think alot of it, is we are taught it is bad to call you at first. So that can stay with you. We are told and also think that he will think we are pushy and won't like it.
I called this guy first after emailing alot because I guess he had gotten to the point of wanting to talk to me and didn't have my number. He gave me his number to call.
I remember when a boyfriend was in Vietname, I wrote all the time.
I agree, it also could be a lack of interest. That is what I think of if the guy doesn't call me back. If he was interested, he would. I guess if they were to call back to tell you they weren't interested, it would hurt your feelings. So maybe it is better not to call back for everyone involved. You get the message for sure that way.
1. Broke my hip while on pain pills for a bone fracture, I knew something was wrong, but the doctor never took x-rays. So while on crutches, lost my balance and fell backwards, breaking my left hip. Just had seen the doc the day before. He told me later, I did a x-ray, you have a bone fracture. I told him, I told you the pain pills weren't working.
2. Next summer, broke foot on same side as hip. I was trying to help my nephew out who had a itchy back when he came back from the emergency room after a cup of coffee had fallen over while he was reaching for his milk at Starbucks. I went to get a pop cycle stick and was moving to fast and fell. Then I went to the emergency room 1 day later.
3. At the hospital, they were putting me under for a operation, they said I started choking and they couldn't help me. They called on the speaker for my ex at the time to come to where I was. Close call.
4. At the hospital again, they had put air to my face because I was not breathing and I came back again.
Sweetly, you are working on your self right now by reaching out to CS. If you are feeling down, depression can cloud up your mind. Or if something got you upset, you can still be playing it over and over in your mind.
Each day will get better. Sometimes it helps me to take a walk even if I don't want to.
Another trick to to do something that you enjoy for 10 minutes, it will give your mind some peace.
Hi Pretty, no I didn't just because I know the signs already.
But last night, I could not believe a conversation between 2 guys.
A guy was telling his bud all about his girl friend. He was so down on her. I guess she wanted to see him one time and he got with his friends instead. Maybe that was his only free night to do something. So instead of inviting her, he did saw his friends.
Then told her that his friends were important to him then her and they were not on that level yet.
Then she also told him she would like to have a phone call everyday and again, he told her, we are not on that level yet.
I couldn't keep my butt out of it and said, "doesn't sound like you like her that much", and brought up the movie title "He's just not that into you".
He seemed proud of himself when he talked to his friend, like how dare her to be talking to him about what was bothering him. He basically was telling you, this is how it is going to be, and if you don't like it, then .... (I guess).
I know there are 2 sides of the story. But he just seemed mean natured and not into giving much of himself. I had to leave because I just couldn't hear it anymore. What a date he would be, ha.
That is good of yoou crazeddog. I guess I am thinking, I would hope they would call me but if they don't, then I'm better off to find someone who will.
Very good point, Out of Africa. If they really liked you, they would.
Right now I have been emailing with a guy. He gave me his phone number so that I could call him so we could talk more. He is suppose to call tonight after 8:30. I would say there are pretty good odds that he will. But you never know.
I agree with you Meri, hope you are having a good day.
If it is a good match, they will but if it isn't, then they won't. I guess if you think about it, why would they call back if not interested, that would not be good.
Also, maybe saying I will call you back, is just plain a thing for guys to do. The date has ended and they want to go home.
I will say yes, when I found out he was cheating, plus he blew cigarette smoke in my face and smiled. I would say it was his mistake and I do not think he was expecting it. I frankly couldn't believe I did it or had such good aim, right on his cheek.
Another time, I was touched by a guy on the dance floor and I didn't know him, so I punched him in the stomach and walked out.
If someone goes below the belt with me, it's up to me to take charge. Other times, I do not believe in.
I know it is Smitten or Smitty that you were refering to, it is even in the title of your thread.
Ha, leave it to me, to think as I did, I'm sure it added some confusion.
Good post, UK. It was nice to see. After that note, I'm sure either she will come your way or someone else, because women really appreciate that side to a man. It is refreshing and so much better a post than the one you referred to and I will not even mention the topic, I know you know what I am saying.
The guy says he will call you back
Why are you so argumentative? This was a simple point of view poll and you make more of it.I was not waiting for a call when I did the poll.
Typical you to think it was my fault if a guy did not call back, not. Maybe he realized we were not a good match. Anything could cause it.
Do you ever see the good in people?
A guy just called me back last night as he said he would and has told me when he will call again. No surprises, just good communication.
