How Did You Get Here??

Guess you heard wrong...and now you're looking for a new site huh??

The Thing I Love....I Hate....

Are you opening the "friendly english woman" salon...or the "gay guy salon"???

Either way...can i get a standing appointment for every third Thursday morning??

RE: Hey there everyone...

Hi Todd

Welcome to the forums....enjoy the ride!

NOT in the mood.....

That's right Bobby....HE won't have to pull IT....


Just hope i don't break it....

A Year Ago....

Thanks you two!! I wish you both every success!!

As some know I have sold my "marital" home and will be moving in with Clayton at the end of this month (whom i met here on CS)...as I was packing i kind of just thought back to a year ago...and like some remembered how "lost", "confused" and depressed in general i felt...and I'm sure my threads reflected those emotions...

A year later here i am about to embark on a new chapter in my life and am simply amazed at how time has a way of marching on and carrying you along with it for the ride, when you yourself don't even realize it...

How Did You Get Here??

I was really considering moving to the States at that time in my life (almost a year and a half ago), and i was more looking at the southern states because i love their accent (I know I know...how dense was that reasoning!!..lol...well i had to start somewhere!!)

When i looked up "dating sites" for Southern States this site came up...and well of course the rest is history!

The Thing I Love....I Hate....

Well I just got back from this again...and i hated it even more!!

When i move to Waterloo i am going to desperately find and english speaking salon....


Ahem...I just took a moment away from packing to do this by the way....

How Did You Get Here??

Do you remember how you found "Connecting Singles" and what prompted you to join?

Where were you at that stage in your life??

RE: Taking it to the next level

I told my daddy today that i absolutely adore this man....there was absolute silence on the other end of the line....

A Year Ago....

Hi Dave

Well i know its hard to continually find topics that people haven't already "talked" to death....

But the few that do come up kind of get lost in the melee of "fun" and "just because" threads so the opportunity is lost...

And yes the people that were on here back then did do alot to make the forum successful....but they also applied that to their lives and perhaps that is why they have moved on....as will I at the end of the month...

I think some of it had to do with them separating the forums as well...

A Year Ago....

Well how did you find your way onto Connecting Singles??

A Year Ago....

LOL...A year ago i was sure what i really wanted out of life was to be a "southern belle" so i thought i'd find me a "southern gentleman"....and that's how i found myself on Connecting Singles...

RE: Wandering eyes

I'm a shameless flirt...and Clayt knows that...

However what he also knows...is that my heart only belongs to one!

A Year Ago....

I too know that a year ago you could have spent the whole day on this forum and not even know where the time went too....

I miss my "old" friends and hope that wherever they are and whatever they are doing is what makes them happy now....

Back then the threads were thought provoking...they helped and you could always find a helping hand on here and a shoulder to cry on...

The "disagreements" were short lived and laughed over at another time...

But i did learn alot in the last year....and i feel privileged for having made so many wonderful friends on here and learning about "life" through other's eyes...

A Year Ago....

Hi Doll

Sorry to hear about your ribs girlfriend....

A Year Ago....

If you could go back a year ago and pull up your old threads, or the replies you made to threads back then...what would you say has changed for you in this past year?

Where were "you" back then as opposed to where you are now in your life??

RE: Taking it to the next level

Thanks Angel....

As I was saying to someone else...its all about "timing"...there is a "time" for everyone...and you never know what will be waiting for you around the corner...

A year ago today I can pull up my old threads and tell you where i was at that point in my life...not in a million years would i have guessed that a year later this is what i'd be doing with my life...

RE: Taking it to the next level

Do you know one of the things that i am most looking forward to (besides of course the obvious... ) is having someone to cuddle up with and watch tv...someone's hand to hold and someone who i can't wait to see walk through the door in the evening...

Those were the things i missed in a relationship...

RE: just me

Welcome back Chris...glad you found your way back to the forums!!

NOT in the mood.....

I'm desperately trying here Willow....Clay will so be "in for it"...for the life of me i can't think of a time when i think is "NOT a good time"...

NOT in the mood....

...I just know i'm going to "kill" Clayton...

RE: why are all the threads

Maybe because she's "resurfacing" too???

NOT in the mood....

The funny thing is that the subject came up...and when put to the test...I found i had no answer...

Not that i've spent time thinking about the question before...but when it was there i tried to think of when am i really NOT in the mood...

NOT in the mood....

..."when I'm doing a project.... why is it they only come sfter you when its a project you enjoy doing. never when its something you hate doing???? "...

Well if you're doing something that you really enjoy...that means your mind is not on "her"...how else should she remind you she is priority?...

NOT in the mood....

Thanks Luis...I appreciate "male" input...

RE: Advice from experianced moms (or dads)

Stacy as you know from your own "experience"...it will pass AND she will survive...

And as heartbreaking as it is at this moment, there is nothing for this kind of pain...

Keeping her home was a good idea...I found that with my daughter treating her like a "grown up" at that moment, and recognizing her pain as very real gave her a sense of support...

I'm not sure I agree with "replacing" the boyfriend with another, I don't think i want my daughter to think the only way of getting through a break up is to "replace" one with another...and as you know those are "rebound" relationships and i don't think i want her involved in those...they are not always "healthy"

At the same time, you have to find a way to bring her out of wallowing in self pity...you can't allow that to go on for a long period of time either...find things to do with her that will take her mind off it...of course shopping for shoes is always my idea of "healing" everything...

Good luck...I know its hard when you are not able to protect them from ALL the hurts in this world...

NOT in the mood.....

Just curious....

Can you give an example of when you'd really "NOT" be in the mood??

(In the mood...for "you know".. )

What is an example of when you would really "NOT" be in the mood??

(In the mood for "you know"... )

...and be honest...

RE: Taking it to the next level

Rose you absolutely make me want to cry....

I cannot tell you how awesome Clay is...and how blessed i am to have him in my life at this moment...

Thank you for your kind words though...it means alot to me right now...
