See, Dtormala -- and no offense meant to you, Lumination, you glowing star of brightness that lifts the spirits of all mankind -- but in a nutshell, isn't that what I advised earlier? Just do it! Stop feeling like a scaredy-cat and do it!
Ok, you seriously want advice? Or is this one of those poor-poor-pitiful-me posts? 'Cause I can give ya advice, if ya want, and it will work: you'll meet women, starting right here and now on CS, as well as out on the street in your daily life. That doesn't guarantee that any of them will like you, but the more you meet, the greater the chances that one will...and one is all you're looking for, right? (First bit of advice: Say "yes.")
I know two key bits of advice.
Here's the first: the most attractive trait in both men and women is self-confidence. It doesn't matter if the self-confidence is merited or not. You need to appear self-confident; you don't have to actually be so. You want to meet women, just introduce yourself. Don't worry about how they're going to react or what will happen. Remember, the world revolves around you (your world, anyway). Just walk right up to any cute woman you see and say, My, you're cute. My name's Dtormala, what's yours? Those eight words will work wonders.
And here's the crucial second bit: Sincerity rules. If you don't actually believe she's cute, for Pete's sake don't say so. Don't lie. Don't deceive. If she's homely as home-grown sin, but she's wearing really cute boots, say "My, those are cute boots!" or whatever instead. As long as you are honest, no one can question your self-confidence.
Maybe I'm about to get lambasted by multiple female readers of these Forums for posting this advice. But what can I say? I sincerely believe it is so.
Most would not think of a partner who said, "Dear, will you take the trash out?" as being "controlling." More would call "controlling" a partner who said "I don't like it when you talk to your ex on the phone." Yet in the first case, the partner is explicitly trying to control your behavior, and in the second, merely expressing displeasure.
So where, or how, would I draw the line? If her demands, or requests, made me feel frustrated and torn, that's where. Not seeing my friends was one of the problems with my first ex-wife. The friends won.
Ought we not to dispense with such a phrase as "honor killing"? That makes it sound somehow noble and justified. It's murder, pure and simple. Always wrong, never honorable.
I realize such a phrase makes it easy for the media to treat of such a phenomena, distinguishing such from murders with other motivations. And that could be a good thing, if it helps raise awareness of an alarming trend. But perpetuating the phrase, particularly with a word like "honor," tends to justify the murderers, if only subconsciously, I feel.
Yeah gotta see that one. Do you recommend the original release or the Director's Cut? I've heard there are different scenes in both, which makes it hard to choose.
I agree, it's a nuisance. And it seems like a lot of people are having that problem. All that works for me is clicking back and forth between Mailbox and Forums three or four times. 'Course, since I have two unopened mails in my Inbox that I've already read, the Mailbox stays red all the time now.
You've noticed the new Email History feature? It will include the text of new, unopened emails as well. Simply scroll down your Inbox to find the earlier email from that person, and open it again. The Email History will also display the text of the email you haven't opened yet.
As I said, I can't be certain it still appears as Unopened in their Outbox, but it does look that way in my Inbox.
I've discovered it is now possible to read new emails without opening them, as long as the other person has emailed you at least once previously. This seems useful, if you haven't time to reply just then, but don't want the other person to think you aren't going to. (I can't be certain, yet, that it still appears as Unopened in their Outbox, though. But it's still Unopened in my Inbox.)
That's likely so, for those who feel jealousy. It has a bad rep, and one who feels so would probably deny it (except John Lennon, of course).
I have noticed that some women (NOT all women, only some) seem to appreciate minor displays of jealousy. But it could be that what they actually appreciated was being saved from the bother of some other guy's unwanted attentions.
Here's a related question: does jealousy go hand-in-hand with possessiveness?
I gotta confess, I've not read On Death and Dying myself though. I was introduced to the concept by the film All That Jazz and other peripheral sources.
I agree. I think the well-known schema developed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross regarding acceptance of mortality could easily by adapted to other forms of loss and grief.
Now, I am just teasing you a bit, Positive. I hope you realize this.
But there is a point to it: everybody makes mistakes. No one is perfect. Doing everything right is an ideal goal we should strive for, even while we recognize we will never attain it. We will never be perfect, none of us. But we can try our best.
No...if by mentioning a photo you mean, someone met on a site like this one. In such situations, I think it's fair to expect that the person who shows up be recognizable as the person in the photo. If not, they've got a lot of explaining to do, and the date doesn't look promising when someone has to do a lot of explaining.
My own favorite would be Annie Haslam of Renaissance:
Shame Youtube has nothing from her one solo album, Annie in Wonderland. The wordless track "Rockalise" is maybe the most astonishing vocal performance by anyone of either gender that I've ever heard.

it is so.
RE: how to meet and talk to a girl. thanks.
Simple answer: the glorious, exciting, fun-filled and hospitable land of Chile is simply too far remote from Knoxville, Tennessee.
