Be bold!

Ann dear, you are lovely and enchanting, and I would certainly have mastered my own self-doubt enough to lavish you with virtual flowers and messages of woo, were you not so remote. But I did not want to lead you on.

Be bold!

I think that's cool. And I will share too, for what it's worth...

Some months ago, I made a joke in the Forums about no one ever sends me ecards, waaaa waaaa waaaa poor me. And a certain someone, very shy normally, took that chance to send me an ecard. We've talked a great deal since then, and to make a long story short, we've both recently changed our Profiles to Not Single/Not Looking.

I wasn't the bold one. I had noticed her before, yes, but I doubted she'd be interested. Same old word, Doubt. If it weren't for her deciding to make that first move, we'd not have met. So I think it does pay off...at least, for the person one is being bold with!

RE: What does SEPARATION mean ?

I take it you've not seen Angst, then?

Be bold!

Hiya Viva.

Be bold!

Travolti is my favorite movie of all time!

But we're getting off-topic. You said you were bold, in your own way. Care to share? Did it pay off?

Be bold!

Hi Lucy. I did finally get that DVD of Nudo di Donna, it's excellent. You should see it.

Be bold!

Ok let's suppose the person who interests you here is, in fact, lying, and their profile has as much to do with reality as Harry Potter. Still, what's to lose by taking that first step? Maybe they're NOT lying. Maybe they really are a 4-time Quidditch Champion.

Be bold!

Ah yes Cin. There's so much to win, and nothing to lose, so why not? As a certain shoe company advertised, Just Do It.

Be bold!

I think what holds most of us back from meeting that special someone is our own doubts.

No, he/she wouldn't like me, he/she wouldn't be interested, he/she is too good/beautiful/handsome/clever/smart/wealthy/you-name-it. That's what runs through the back of our minds. Our own self-doubt. It paralyzes us, so we do nothing.

But CS is designed to be safe. If you email or flower or ecard someone here, the worst that can happen is....nothing. So what's to lose?

I think we might all be a lot happier (and CS might run out of business) if we could all just be a tad more bold, and take that first step. What do you think?

RE: Would you kiss the person above you or pass? Part 2

See? See? This time Ad Robot jumped in between us. I give up.

RE: Would you kiss the person above you or pass? Part 2

RE: Would you kiss the person above you or pass? Part 2

Seems like every time I try, some guy jumps in between us...

...but I'd try again anyway.

RE: What type of woman do you look for here?

One I can relate to, and relate with. That's all, really.

And I think her name might be.....

RE: In Bed Game

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step in bed.

RE: Please ladies, I don't wanna leave!

I suggest you ditch the crappy poetry and just talk with folks. The consensus seems to be that your verses are confusing at best and, at worst, suck.

I also suggest you post some pics of yourself if you wish to have converse with the ladies here. Quite naturally, they like to see whom they are talking to.

I further suggest that you stop publicly accusing all women of only wanting your money. Most every thread you have launched has boiled down to that in some fashion. I know I am not the first to make this observation. Think about it: you want a woman who does NOT only want your money, yes? So, is accusing ALL of them of being golddiggers a great way to meet the that ONE who isn't?

RE: Do you believe the story of Adam & Eve?

I believe in mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosomal Adam.

RE: Rights and responsibilities

I did indeed read it, as I read all Heinlein's works. When I was an adolescent.

Grim political reality does not often feature in Heinlein, and when it does, it is portrayed as a game that old people play, like Bridge. Invariably the central characters find some sneaky way to circumvent what they regard as (and are portrayed as) silly restrictions, but what we might call core principles of governance and of international relations.

I admire Heinlein as a hard-working and sometimes inventive writer. But not as a political philosopher.

RE: Rights and responsibilities

I agree. The whole premise demonstrates the naivete characteristic of Heinlein, whose decades-old space operas remain popular with adolescents for just such reasons.

One question Heinlein neglected was, Who gets to decide who is fit for what form of Citizenship Service? If the answer is Me, I'm all for it. If the answer is anyone else, it's a dictatorship.

(Ok, both are dictatorships, but it's different if I'm the dictator.)

RE: Teenagers, are they worth it?

"“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished by how much he'd learned in seven years.” -- Mark Twain

Please either merge or divide Forum threads and Polls!

You are likely right on the money there Gin...and so is CS, of course. It's only free to us. It's not free to them. Someone has to pay the bills.

The incovenience of Poll Threads not returning to Forums predates the recent changes, though, as you surely know. It may not be a big thing, but seems like it would be so simple and useful to change, without disturbing either members or advertisers.

RE: i needs some advice

Now, I've only heard your version of events. But it certainly sounds like she is using you as some sort of security blanket, and her real interest lies (lays?) with this other fella.

So my advice would be, let the Bluegrass State welcome you home, real soon.

RE: Not as old as you say

I receive CS mail daily from "women" claiming to be in their mid to late 30s, whose profile pics are obviously of 22-year-old bikini models. These are scammers. The pictures are stolen, from anywhere, and the person sending the email is not only a different age but most likely a different gender as well.

RE: The Long Goodbye: The Never-Ending Virtual Romantic Relationship

(I have redacted a portion of the original post which has not matched my own personal experience.)

As you describe it in your second paragraph, Ambrose, yes, been there, done that. Twice. Both times resulted in real-life personal meetings. Sadly, neither relationship ultimately worked out. Not all relationships do, no matter how they begin. So I am not averse to trying again.

I would rather be in love with someone, even though I don't see her daily, than not be in love with anyone I see every day.

RE: Suspicious Minds...

I agree. I wouldn't either, at least, not to snoop. Maybe if I had some other reason for doing so.

Once I was driving my ex's car and I dropped the car keys. They bounced under the seat, so I went rummaging around under her driver's seat and found a rather disturbing birthday card from my best friend.

But I never told either of them, and I certainly didn't set about searching for more evidence.

RE: attraction

Do they? If I were gonna be picky, I'd pick you.

RE: favourites

I erred. One's number of Favorites does appear under Edit Profile, when one uses the screen-top menu.

I see I've been favorited 9 times, a manageable number. I can guess for sure who two are. That leaves seven. Hmmmm....

RE: favourites

I'm one. But it's 28 now.

Your number of Favorites is found on View My Profile, not Edit Profile. The reason you can't see who they are (I suspect) is that the function is supposed to serve the Viewer, not you. By adding you to their Favorites, they can recall you simply by clicking Favorites on the screen-top menu.

RE: attraction

Er...

RE: Thready

Yeah he HID you too. But I read your post anyway.

Btw, Ali? I'm allergic to mangos.

RE: The dating verdict is In...

Well of course. What else?
