TEXTS FROM THE EX
Posted: 11/13/2009 9:44:21 AM
just ignore her if you can


You guys broke up six months ago and she is texting you about stuff you use to do.
and you still have feelings for you
it sounds like she is behaving like a jerk

Friend can be an Embarrassment
Posted: 11/13/2009 9:31:11 AM
ok
You have gone from i have a good friend whom i like very much to
this is your husbands friend..
which is it

Our friends are a direct reflection of who we are and what we tolerate and who we let into our lives.

Ie i had a friend who was a bit on the crude side but i never knew the whole story of this person. He told a story about how he was dating a woman but wanted to have sex with the daughter and that he would have to wait till the daughter turned 18. (i let that slide as people can just be crude to get a rise out of others). Then i found out he did wait till she was 18 and did have sex with her.
I walked away and never looked back.

Call me uptight but the word friend is not a casual term i pass out like candy at the end of October.

You don't need to invite this friend and you don't owe him an explanation but i would suggest you look at what is the standard of what you consider a friend. If this person fits then great.
A person throwing the n word around in racial humor i could tolerate but to use it as a put down or to throw a negative light on another human would make my skin crawl.

Possible for a man to love two women at once?
Posted: 11/13/2009 9:12:39 AM
Sure but a person can never love 2 equally. I'm sure there are plenty of poly amorous people who would disagree and all i have to say to them they know it's a crock.

The reailty about loving two people is that is there will always be one who is loved more and since you found the letters i'm guessing it is his wife.

You need to discuss this issue about his wife with him.

You need to address her as such as well even if they are separated.

To say a person is separated and even though he was still legally married.
Is only a way to sugar coating it.
HE WAS MARRIED.

Married people are untouchable for dating.
If they care so little about taking care of their own personal business why would they take care of future business with a new mate/spouse.


I have a motto if it sounds ugly then there is a good chance it is.

Spending $30,000 or more on a wedding.

30k is nothing to spend on a wedding if your net worth starts at a million.

Renewing your vows.
Posted: 11/2/2009 5:19:43 AM
I am a FIRM believer in this ...so much fails in life because we take so much for granted.

All too often when a relationship fails the nitty gritty boils down to one or both feeling that the other didn't care which was the reason why the other did.....fill in the blank.
This renewal of vows brings to the forefront why you got married and that you are still in it.
It's why people go to church..it's not because they are super jesus freaks....but to remind themselves and to renew faith...and here some thought the church thing was just a fashion show.

It is hard to keep faith when you leave it in a state lethargy, marriage is the same way.

Renewing vows should be more common than it is but sadly it is not.

Jesus is stealing my girlfriends!
Posted: 11/2/2009 5:01:37 AM
At the end of this it seems your are attracted to women with strong religious beliefs..

You like what they bring to the table in most areas except the no fornicating part.

Analogy ....if you hate that your girlfriends are doing heroin stop dating junkies...



POF has a rating system for sex...it's called seeking an intimate encounter. The down side is you can be blocked by quite a few on this sight if you email a person who seeks an intimate encounter let alone if you have your setting set at that level.

The term Intimate encounter hardly covers the issue.....It should just say sexual encounter...
I find it far more intimate to hold a woman hand than touch her.... fill in the body part...but I'm a word Nazi and believe the English language should be used in its proper form and not in the bast^%dized state that it is in.

COWARD ! - The Ignoring Game
Posted: 10/30/2009 10:07:59 AM
I'm guessing you have never had the 6 hour or longer conversation with the never ending question of
why why why....

I'd broken up with the verbal talk ...and there are times it is fine then there is times when it was not fine and it turned into a stalk-fest...(dont get me wrong i picked that person and take the blame for not picking a more quality person) but if your in a relationship and you see your with one of these people sometimes it's just best to walk away.

There are some who need to know details that in the end will not make them feel better. You have stated that you are one that would like closure.
Some don't so add that to your criteria to what your looking for in a mate.






Perhaps it is because you have been through enough games, heartache and drama to last a lifetime, so this flippant, detached attitude you exhibit is really your defense mechanism so that you will not be emotionally scared again. I am glad that works for you. Must be a wonderful life, being desensitized to all that makes life worth living - the good and the bad. You think anyone with a problem is nothing but a whiner, ****, high maintenance, living in dreamland or looking for a pity party, crutch or scapegoat to project their real problems on to. It is so much easier to just label and dismiss a person versus understanding the reason why someone is as they are. I think someone should start a thread just on some people's conduct in the forum. It is not helpful, it is hurtful, rude and unproductive.

If we were dating This little tirade about the emotionally unattached would be enough for me to sit you down and see if you needed thrown out of the plane at 20 k feet.

you posted on a public forum.
a place for the most part where single people(not all but most) give advice on issues that revolve around couples. That makes me giggle every time i log in.

some are helpful
some live to flame
if you open yourself up to the public 2 things need to happen..
get thick skin
get a sense of humor
and above all that don't presume to tell people what makes life worth living...
that ideal is very different for everybody

You should start that thread on conduct in the forum...that is a great idea...

i cant wait to see how people conduct themselves.

why only date good looking prima donna's?
Posted: 10/30/2009 8:20:52 AM
I think it's called preference


just like you have a criteria for dating...

some are superficial and some are even more superficial.


it would be nice if you would not generalize and say why do men...

Your question should be wrote why do the men i want

only tend to go for dating the "good looking prima donna barbie doll type?


call me a word nazi but that question would be ring with more truth..

not all men want a barbie..

COWARD ! - The Ignoring Game
Posted: 10/30/2009 8:13:15 AM
Messages and phone calls...woe nelly.....those are plural words...
If you leave a message and someone does not get back to you then either they are dead or they don't want to have contact or may be they are busy...you know real life stuff.

I say this first part because you include casual dating.
I find it amazing that people think that others owe them something...

It's called dating

dating works like this

A person asks for a date ...the answer is yes or no.
This does not entitle the person who says yes to a second date or even a phone call afterward.
In my case
If i like the person then of course i will call. If i don't then i don't.
I don't owe her a reason why.

now within a bf/gf relationship...
If your talking from personal experience then....
I'm not sure what kind of people your dating but i would fire the person who screens the people you go into a bf/gf relationship with.

Best friend was hitting on your spouse. What would you do?
Posted: 10/29/2009 6:01:07 AM
Any woman i would marry would be strong enough to put the friend on notice at that time and come get me.
If i am not present then i would have to ask why is my best friend hanging out with my spouse. He's my friend not hers. (inappropriate behavior to start with)
that being said
I would get a hold of the friend with the spouse present and ask a few questions.
If he did it? He's gone!
If she is lying about it? Well that is tricky......do you end the marriage..?
I have no clue but there are big problems at hand if that is the case.

Wouldn't ordinarily do this... Maxim mag/porn accusations etc
Posted: 10/28/2009 4:39:03 PM
Wow i just had a flashback

My exwife jumped my case over a movie that SHE PICKED.....

There was a naked girl leaning over the bathroom sink...I didn't say a word i didn't smile i made no noises.....next thing i knew i was in the S@#t pond treading water...
craziness



She says I cheated, spent the evening on the phone talking with old friends acting like I was a complete lech, and wants to break up unless I stop selling Maxim.
I feel this is idiotic and immature, to say nothing of the lack of trust she shows towards me.


she wants you to stop selling the magazine...lol that is funny....better not sell condoms....omg...



your old enough to know what you in for if you choose to stay

Please help me needs advice about a guy:)
Posted: 10/28/2009 4:27:20 PM
grow up and speak to people...trust me it is tried and true and has been in effect for a few centuries.

Less communication errors
With texting is too easy to loose intent of what your saying. Besides most people write at a fifth grade level.
Another reason for verbal communication there is no dropped messages unless they hang up on you.


I know it seems archaic but speaking to people does work.

Does Sex Change How you feel ?
Posted: 10/28/2009 4:05:19 PM
No and No


The only difference in how i feel after the sex is
i am a little hungry and and maybe sleepy
depending on the night

It really depends on how you relate after sex is what determines whether or not you keep the person long term.

dating a drug (ecstasy) user
Posted: 10/28/2009 2:55:39 AM
Well the way i see it is the only future there is for now is him getting off ectacy
he reached out to you...Help him...
but you need to define for yourself why your doing it.

are you doing it because your all mushy inside for this guy because if you are you will be doing him no favors...your vision will be as clouded as his..

If your doing it because you see a human that needs help and they are asking for it...then game on!
Research it so you know a little about what your dealing with
get professional help..as they will know more than you it would not hurt to get some counseling yourself just so you are clear about what you are and will be dealing with.

If he does not want that kind of help i hope your smart enough to walk away.
good luck

Is it bad to compramise our values?
Posted: 10/22/2009 9:50:17 AM
a lie is a lie
that being said there are some distinct differences.

There are lies for personal gain

and there are lies that protect
but at the end of the day both are lies

I view the world in various shades of gray mixed with color...I have heard people flat out lie and look past it...and at times i could not...

You have to pick which fights that are important. Just because you can win a fight doesn't mean you should engage the person in a fight.

as far as cutting yourself off from everyone...well that just doesn't work...
The more pressing issue for me is what a person lies about....
The friend who says they want to loose weight then hits the DQ for icecream....i can live with that...
The one that i ask point blank did you do or say this and they say no...when i know they did..is a different story.

A Very Ugly Situation - What Would YOU Do?
Posted: 10/21/2009 6:09:54 PM
set him down in private and let him know that racial comments are not to be tolerated in the workplace. I'd keep an eye on the technical writer and make it clear that if she has any problems at work that she can come to you.

Or you can
Post a memo about sexual harassment policies that will get most of the people in line except the hard core a holes.

and if he is hell bent then you may have to terminate.

a young beautiful wife with a much older husband
Posted: 10/21/2009 2:56:37 PM
i love the folks that don't have an issue with age separations...lol

anyone date a woman between the ages of 34-44.......
I have
and the word
sexual dynamo... springs to the forefront pretty quick.

anyone date a 46-56 year old...man...
(this is how old this man will be when the friend hits critical mass)
i have not but any women who have speak up...
would sexual dynamo be a phrase you would use to describe him?
Im sure there are a few who are but most are not.

Now there are other aspects to a marriage and relationships than sex but the op subject is purely about sex.

btw the fact that your friend married a man she was not sexually attracted screams that she married for money.

I have no advice for her but her hubby should protect himself...emotionally sexually and financially

Posted: 10/21/2009 2:42:40 PM
all things are relative...

any of the things taken by themselves would seem innocent enough .....add them all up and i smell smoke...

The sad reality that i have found that some people find the hunt for a mate far more satisfying than finding one.

pof chemistry test...

It just caught my eye when i clicked on it...and thought i may have saw that may be the test could have some validity.
Not that the ones that did respond or who have contacted me first were keepers...

pof chemistry test...
Posted: 10/20/2009 10:33:23 PM
To start with i have read through some thread where most don't buy into it it and pretty much ignore it.

I'm not so sure that it's a bunch of bs...
I just started to look at the chemistry link and notice that there are a few people i have emailed in the past (that i found during a regular search) only to get a read/delete and they were in the 70% range.
where there were ones who i wrote to that wrote back that was in the 90% range...
coincidence or did pof get the chemistry thing right?

I have never actively sought out people on the chemistry link...i just started looking at it today and saw some people i had wrote to.

I know the questions they ask during the test seem redundant and pointless but If you understand how the test works..then it's not.

We all have encountered the read and delete...no big deal here...but has anyone else seen a connection to the chemistry link to the read and delete or someone responding to an email.

Point of note.... I am aware the chemistry test does not measure chemistry it measures compatibility. These are two completely different things.

Texting endlessly
Posted: 10/20/2009 9:11:47 PM
Im with you beth.....but welcome to the 21st century of the dis attached.

I spoke with my closest friend about this a few weeks ago. It seems like society is slowly moving to a very non personal form of communication. Emails texts are normal just as spelling "your" like "ur".

I'm sure there will be a few hangers on to the art of conversation that takes place via voice...i plan on being one of them but the is a trend going on right now that seeks to replace verbal conversation.

Example...i was out with some people i had met off of my space...
it was not a dating situation.
We were all just friends.
As the night went on i noticed that they were all texting. I thought that was odd. Then i found out they were all TEXTING EACH OTHER!
I sighed ordered another scotch and listened to the band and looked for someone to dance with.

Seinfeld Reference I don't understand....
Posted: 10/19/2009 9:25:56 PM

It is true that he has the power to hurt me really bad and I know it,

I'm sure it was a treat for him when you said after 6 months that may be you and he should just be friends but you continue to sleep with him and go out with other men.

at the end of the day you broke it off with him and only wanted friends but he wants to date...

Your upset that he may only see you as a friend but you said that you only wanted friends.

If you want more from this friend ...then you better move from the child table to the big people table and speak up.


Why did the J/E reference bothered you?
How serious do you want him to be about you...when you say to him 6 months into the relationship i think we should just be friends and then you go out with other men?


I don't feel for you at all, as all of this is of your own doing.
I do hope you get it together and communicate with this man in words that are clear and uncluttered.
It sounds like you have a good thing...sadly many never know this until it is lost.

How Can I Tell if it's a Line?
Posted: 10/19/2009 8:27:18 PM
for every one person who says dating on the profile is bad there is another saying long term is bad or friends is bad..
and really you need to be friends before long term can happen and that happens through dating.


The way you sort out the good from the bad...is speaking with them and spend time with them and ask questions and listen

consistency in their lives and about their past is very important to me...a good liar can go on and on and on

but what even the best liars can't do is remember details in detail for more than a month at least the ones i have run into

Seinfeld Reference I don't understand....
Posted: 10/19/2009 4:05:43 PM
Please keep this in mind.....

what is going on now is just a moment in time...and as long as there is no abuse going on here...all the minutia of life that is going on will settle down.

Your perspective is that your settling...my perspective would be i am enjoying and cherishing it...remember master programs are not life long projects unless you want them to be.
there will come a day that 1-2 days a week will become more...I say this only because you have said he has been willing to sacrifice in the past...i would suspect this would continue.
There is that big revealing the love thing...trust me if you love him he knows it...
it comes across in your voice and your touch...so revealed or not if you love him it is out of the bag.

You say you stopped the dating part...i fully understand the reasons...he does have a lot on his plate....but he clearly wants to date you...he is not dating and he gets aggravated when you do date...(im guessing with the situation and not at you as this is what a wonderful man would do)

if i was to make an educated guess he compared you to Elaine to protect himself.
You send mixed signals...i want to date then you don't want to(because his plate is full)
You crawl into his bed...you spend time with him in person and on the phone but yet you date others (to break up the boredom)
Do not take any of that last statement as a judgment or a criticism i am just stating this for a reference for the next sentence.

Did you ever think he may see you as a friend because you wanted to keep it just friends?
I did not ask you do you think...that would just be a question...
I asked it specifically so it would be question and a statement.

You need to watch the FWB episode...it did not work out...and caused problems..they stayed friends but most real life situations do not.



You did not want to continue to date this man and wanted to be friends...

I'm sure you had your reasons...

So you just want sex from this man and not a dating relationship with this guy...that's fine too.

I think he is being polite by putting a sienfeld spin on it...
I'm guessing he still wants that connection just in case you change your mind again.


No new ground seen here...

This answers the sienfeld question.







Geizzelda, I appreciate your statements, but honesty I can't say he doesn't meet me needs. From a time perspective, once or twice seeing him is hard, but we talk daily about anything and everything. We often stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning just talking and we share the most intimate thougthst and feelings with each other. We call each other our best friend (although he has introduced me to his friends as his girlfriend and they all know about me) When we are together, it's awesome. I haven't found anything close with anyone else, not before him and certainly not since him. I am the one who is always referring to him as a friend and when he told his friends I was his girlfriend I gave him a hard time about it, so it's hard to judge if he really just views me as a friend or if he thinks that is how I veiw him. I have been so brutally honest with him in the past about other things that if he was going to bolt, he would have. He always tells me I can tell him anything and that he wants me in his life forever. I am so afraid of confessing more than a "friendship" to him and then ruining it! Like the former poster mentioned, I guess he really is my lover more than a FWB. This arrangement was my idea because of some difficult things he was going through. He gets aggravated that I suggested it to make things easier on him, wont let him give up important things in his life that he has offered to do to be with me, yet I insist on still casually dating to keep myself entertained while he is so busy. (He lives over an hour from me, works an 80 hr a wk job and is finishing his masters degree, on top of having his son 50% of the time) I keep telling him I am here as his friend and will try to support him through this time. My problem is that I miss him by only seeing him once, maaaaybe twice a week, even though we talk for hours during the day (his job kind of allows for that) and even at night.


Geizzelda spoke about you sacrificing your happinesss....im sure she would change what she wrote

now that you added the extra information that this time situation is a temporary thing with this guy.
the child will grow up the masters program will end and job may or may not continue



all seems good with you and your "friend" except only getting to see him once or twice a week.....wow sounds like your getting about 80% of what you want in a relationship and the other 20% is not abusive
AND YET YOUR STILL NOT HAPPY...
again no new ground here.

So he/she USED to be Gay/Lesbian! Would you still date them?
Posted: 10/19/2009 8:01:43 AM
The woman did not overreact I think she did the right thing and so did he

Full disclosure... sexuality.... criminal record.... marital status....likes to groom the dog at midnight covered in peanut butter....
I need to know these things preferably before you find out where i live.

if your a person who has been presented with this
it all depends on what kind of relationship you want from this person... who used to be gay

ask yourself are you the type that will have a problem if they dabbles...(good chance they may as this is sexuality we are talking about, you can bend it you can shape it but it will snap back to the form it desires)

The thought of two women in bed though arousing would never out weight the naggingx2 when i mess up
I know my limits
seriously i could never date a woman that slips back and forth from men to women.
To me it would be very unstable
and the instability would drive me nuts.

Do Cheaters Regret or Reform
Posted: 10/17/2009 4:34:05 AM
wow i love how people want to change the dictionary to define their view point.
A cheater is one that cheats.... be it once or 100 times
lets use the language that we agreed on


If you get the answers to any of these questions please PM me...ill buy them off you..and write a book

Some have cheated never do it again some cant stop.

Cheating people seldom look past self.
so children and family never enter the picture until it is exposed.

You ask how men and women feel....
I doubt you will get any honest responses...
People in general tend to word things in a way that makes themselves look favorable.
Example.....You could say a person has a preference for tall men or skinny women...
Another way to say that is that they are superficial.

i have yet to meet the person that is honest about themselves when the bad light is on them.

I cheated on a girlfriend 23 years ago...i never got caught. and never told her...it was a purely me moment
Was the sex good...it was everything it should be and you'll have to wait for the book for the details.
I did not like what i was on the cusp of becoming. It was a very real moment that i realized we are defined by our actions.
I chose not to be that person some people do.
was it worth it?
with out that experience i don't know if i would be as hard line on cheating now

What i have seen is that most cheaters feel remorse but never enough to stop
There are a few who take their lesson and learn it sadly most don't.

plaxico burress

Boiled down federal law says if your a citizen in good standing you may own a firearm.
He was in the possession of a firearm in NYC and he is doing time for it...
Not for shooting himself but for just having it in his possession.
The state of ny is in the possession of Mr. Burress now.
I'm sure he has the cash to fight it as he was an nfl player...One of the top running backs in the league. Thats one case of state trumping federal .....Burress never had federal charges brought against him as he did nothing wrong in the eyes of the federal government.

I'm still not sure how some states that have legalized marijuana and the feds have not cracked down on it. Though i could care less one way or another.

but there are many areas where state law trumps federal and in all instances it is when state law is more strict.
It doesn't trump it in the sense that the federal government has to adhere to it but you can bet you will still be punished if you break it and since your in a state prison and not federal it falls outside of the federal jurisdiction.
I'm sure there are some that think the federal government has jurisdiction everywhere and they do not.

The supremacy clause is pretty clear that the federal law shall be upheld by state judges..but it says nothing if a law is more strict...ie if state law is more stringent then it trumps federal law within the state that the law is passed.

On topic of the thread...what this jp is doing is bringing his personal believe to a job that serves the public again i would think it is a clear civil rights violation.
The ucla should be all over this...But that would be a noble cause...something the aclu doesn't take up often.

Big- it's a Federal law & Federal laws supersede all others.


not true in all cases..
Just as an example...
hollow points in handguns
the federal government law states it is legal for people to own and use hollowpoints in a hand gun.
The state of nj will put your but in jail if you do within her borders

Just an example of a state law trumping federal.

Rule of thumb the strictest law supersedes the other.(hear that potheads of CA the feds can still come for you but probably won't)

but in this case i would think there has been at least one case before the supreme court with the ruling that this can not take place.
And if not then it's about time it does.
At the end of the day there has to be a vehicle within the system for removing people from a public office that are not doing their job.
It sounds like the aclu would have taking this up...it is a clear case of a persons civil rights being violated.

wow wazhiz

you are equating someone making a joke to a person using a public office to propagate his own agenda.

Do you think you needed to point out that this man who made that joke was they type of person (of color) the jp was referring

Trust me he lives it...and sees close up everyday...I'm glad he's got a sense of humor about it...
I'm not so sure i would if i was the one being under this kind of bigotry.

besides everyone knows the tooth brush was invented in wv


on the serious side of things it looks like it may have been a clear breaking of the law lets hope these people have the stones to get something done...does anyone know of any legal action being taken...IE may be send contributions to?
And though the op's intent was not to solicited...i have no problem supporting this...

send personal message if anyone has info on this...

I would never live in the south.

Not only is racism prevalent, but the people there think it's a way of life.

I am originally from PA
I use to think this till i moved to NC.

The racisim that is down here is very in the open..and can be dealt with pretty clearly.

The racism that i saw back in PA was very behind closed doors and not so easily spotted.
Many people got the short end of it and never knew they got it. jobs memberships ect...

There are backwards people everywhere and they are dying out everyday...thankfully



Louisiana...does not surprise me that they allow this person to be in government office.
If there is a law then there needs to be a lawsuit and take it up to the supreme court till it gets overturned.
If there is no law then this person needs to be removed from this job and He should be tagged like cattle (big ear tag with a number) that way he can be spotted at his next interview.

I understand his thinking but clearly do not respect it.
It's so wrong from the children to these quote relationships not lasting long...

Do i think he's a racist...probably not.... as racist hates one race or another...
but one thing i have learned is you never know whats in a persons heart
what he is doing is placing his values of what he thinks is right on the public though a public job and frankly there is no place for that anywhere.
You are suppose to do your job as the law requires.

This thread saddens me...though it is a clear abuse of power so it should be fixable.

Needs & Wants
Posted: 10/14/2009 3:11:12 PM
Wow so you cut off your friend from speaking to you about her troubles...
Really?

i guess she is only a casual friend and not an important friend
it's alright we all have these people in our lives and then there are those who matter....those who don't

What i have seen is that you want life on your terms.

I need advil

and a want for you to go to a war torn country and see exactly the things that you take for granted.


And i truly hope with all my heart that if there is ever a time you need or want a friend because your life is upside down (by your own doing or not)
that you have someone who will not cut you off.

trust me i get that the examples of what you give are for clarity but i hope in my heart that they are only examples...and not based in fact.
If they are you have far more pressing issues than want vs need.

damn i thought i was cynical....

May be just may be he was letting her know he was thinking about her. May be sexual may be not. You'd have to ask him but it could be taken either way

the tribe of the jaded sometimes forget that flirting is just that flirting with no intent and is just a way to let someone know that they are on their mind
This was said in an email or letter...

It would be very different if he was looking into her eyes over candle light in a mountain cabin in a winter storm with one blanket with the wind howling

A real woman

taztiger72

Im only 5-8 or 5-9 depending on what part of the floor i stand on.

Height is a very valid reason to date or not to date...but understand it has very little to do with getting to know a person and very much falls under a fetish category.
Some will call it preference but it is a fetish.

It's no different than people who only date red heads or the chubby chasers... or men who like women who dress up in tabby suits( hint hint ladies)
If height is a deal breaker for some women im sure you are i would not have much in common with them anyways.

It's no less shallow than this one woman's profile that said the man she will go out with has to have a size 30 waist....

Like i said before in this thread love seldom looks the way we think it should when it arrives.

I'm sure that's lost on most but frankly im too busy grooming the tabby suit.

who is the one that sets what our place to be is in society?

and if this is the case it would be their reality and not ours.

all that aside
Reality is a perception... subject for interpretation and yes even circumstance. What looks real and feels real to one can be very unreal to another.

Do we phase in and out of reality...i would say may be reality is what is phasing and it's side effect of the fact that humans change/grow.

A real woman

Still men are not that interested because they are looking for someone who is a very close version of Barbie



i see the blanket statement and it makes me want to pull my hair out..wait i have to have hair for that...but you get what im saying.

Your statement would be better stated if you say the men that you are attracted to want a close version of barbie.


What i look for in a real woman is genuineness.
A person who is not pretending to be something they are not.
a sense of humor and an established life....(ie i dont date under 35)
If you never had an electric bill in your name im not interested.
throw in some common ground and wait to see if there is a chemical spark.
dosn't have to be a barbie but i hope it's not an Ernest borgnign look alike.
i do know love seldom looks the way we think it will when it shows up.
