RE: Pride

Don't think it is gender specific, fella.

Pride? Depends on the nature and context.

Sometimes it is fine to be proud (of your daughter, starting a new business), but when it becomes arrogance and narcissim, then you have a problem.

To all Scottish members..

Originally from the Borders, are ya?

To all Scottish members..

Yup, if not drinking ten bottles of buckfast, stabbing a stranger, then going home to beat the mrs is boring, we are indeed a boring bunch.

Age gaps?

He made total sense to me, in the context of the conversation, to be fair.

Age gaps?

I didn't really like it in Kent, esp that part.

Ever seen the film Stepford Wives?

That is Petts Wood!

Age gaps?

Fair enough, sir -

I lived in Kent for a time, btw. Pettswood?

Close to Orpington?

RE: If he/she was unavailable ten years ago, but is available now, would you go out with him/her?

In some cases - yes.

Only one way to find out...

Age gaps?

All very true.

Age gaps?

In my world, it wouldn't.

However, if you had a daughter of 20, how would you feel if she rolled in with me, 41?

Would you not feel that i was taking advantage, in some way?

Would you go out with someone who wore a full set of dentures?

Neither, tbh.

I am actually v pleased at the way the results on here have played out, though.

RE: If he/she was unavailable ten years ago, but is available now, would you go out with him/her?

Sure would. Unless there was some other BIG reason, not to...

Age gaps?

Isn't that a bit different, though? Different to someone of 21 going out with someone of 40..?

Have you ever been to a speed dating night?

Oh cool!

You are in Malta.

I have family there.

I often wish I could just leave here, and go live in Malta, a total change.

I guess I could, after all, they are in the EU, therefore, I could, no?

Have you ever been to a speed dating night?

Yes.

And that is what would make you human, and, v likely MORE worth speaking to!

Have you ever been to a speed dating night?

Tbh, I thought that before I went.

The penny soon drops that you cannot look like a jerk, since everyone else there is in the same gig!

Age gaps?

If you had a 21 yr old daugther, how would you feel about her seeing a 40yr old guy?

Would your thoughts change if it was a 21yr old son that you had, and he was seeing a women of 40?

Have you ever been to a speed dating night?

Good points.

However, given how artificial it can be, would this perceived rejection actually count?

Surely the only kind that matters, is when those you love reject you?

Besides, how do you know, you might get a fair % of ticks, and get a boost..?

Have you ever been to a speed dating night?

In my experience, and from what I have gleaned from others, what tends to happen is that there might be 15 men, 15 women, and either the men move around the tables or the women, every three mins.

Belive it or not, sometimes it can be a LONG three mins, and I have to admit, you approach a table sometimes and think 'Oh, FFS, I need to get this 180 seconds over with'.... Just being honest! Anyway, the problem is that by the time you get to the 6th person, it gets sort of samey, having the superficial chat that you can have with anyone, in three mins. You get a bit tired by how repetitive it is, by the end.

If you see someone who appeals, you tick them, and that works if they like you.

Next day, you log on, and if ticks mate, phone numbers are released to both.

Have you ever been to a speed dating night?

I went once, because they were essentially offering it to men, for free!

It was okay.

However, I found it all too contrived, and not really a good environment to meet someone, tbh.

Worth a go, if you get a free offer, as you never know what sort of night it might be, but I would not pay £20 for it!

Would you go out with someone who wore a full set of dentures?

Um, well which is it!

Would you go out with someone who wore a full set of dentures?

Would people feel deceived if the person did NOT tell you?

Would you go out with someone who wore a full set of dentures?

A number of people have voted 'depends HOW they lost them'.

Why does that matter.

Come on, speak up....

Would you go out with someone who wore a full set of dentures?

Yes.

I know.

Please link me to one of your threads, for future inspiration.

After all, with a name like God's Gift, I am sure you must have a plethora of stirring examples....

Would you go out with someone who wore a full set of dentures?

Odd how none of those who said they would NOT date someone with a full set, have yet to chime in?

Would you go out with someone who wore a full set of dentures?

Ah...the old legend of the three foot girl, with no teeth, and a flat head, to rest yer beer?

Lol.

To be totally honest, I have never been that fussed about receiving. Odd, but there you have it.

Would you go out with someone who wore a full set of dentures?

I dunno, I might abstain.

I have this image of a really pretty girl, night goes well, and, at the end of it ... her teeth pop out, and go in a glass!

Would you go out with someone who had a serious mental health problem?

Just to be clear, I did not know she had this, when I met her.

I was just told that she was depressed, after losing the baby.

People can hide it well, for a time, but it always comes out.

Would you go out with someone who had a serious mental health problem?

All good points, in your post.

Not sure how much you know about Borderline Personality Disorder, but, yes, I would say that it is a very serious one, as mental health issues go, esp when the person has never really, not really, embraced it, and got proper and consistant help, for it.

Indeed, it has really only been since I came on the scene that she even came close to getting proper help.

But, aside from the other things I mentioned, I would call it serious when a person tells you (without apparently realising that this might not be the norm), that, 24/7, she gets this MALE voice in her head. When she described it, I was v patient, as I did not want to scare her into not telling me more.

Male voice.

Does a sort of CRITICAL commentary of her life, past and present

Is present ALL the time.

Has been, for as long as she could recall.

Tells her that certain things will go wrong, which they then do, therefore, fullfilling the 'prophecy'.

I asked her what happens if she defied this voice, and she told me that it gets angrier and angrier.

I supported her in that, never mocked, I do not mind saying that I could not have been better.

Didn't make a hoot of difference, in the end, but you see, if what she described was real (and I did believe her, although some have suggested that maybe she made that up, as a sort of cover), then how the hell do you keep up with that?

If someone has a voice, telling them to think this, or do that, then the oddds are that many of the times she was SO nasty to me, it was tied in with that.

But there is NOTHING anyone can do with that.

Would you go out with someone who had a serious mental health problem?

Silly? Yes. I was. I have been, I am. I was silly to let my heart rule my head. Silly is not even the word.

:(

Would you go out with someone who had a serious mental health problem?

That is her, to a t.

I am perhaps one of the most empathetic people you could meet.

But, you know what, she would do this divide and conquer thing, she tried to manipuate my friends, she manipulated her entire family against me, and most of her friends, as well.

Pretty bloody hard to be supportive when faced with that.

BPD is just a name, a name given to what, 30 yrs ago, we would have just called the behaviour of a nasty piece of work.
