Thanks. I know I was really blowing things out of proportion... On a lighter note, I met someone saturday night, met her yesterday in person after 3 hours sleep; we spent the whole day together after talking on the phone all night. So far she seems to be really right for me. I'll be seeing her again tonight, wish me luck!!! -A

Train - Something More (Live with intro) Posted: 3/4/2006 4:47:22 PM
Intro: "So we're gonna play... we're gonna play another new song...This is one of, this is one of my favorite songs on our, on our new record, but I wanna, I wanna talk a little bit about this song. 'Cause, being here in San Francisco in the fall, is what this song is all about. Cause you know... you know, alot of you have fallen in love for the first, like, heavy-duty time just recently... (Girl screams) Let me tell you a little story about what's about to happen girl... Everything's goin' pretty great, right? Oh, yeah man... Shit is Good! You call each other every minute of the day, in fact it makes your roommate, and your friends and your mom sick to her stomach. But it's goin' really great, and you've got it all together, and uh, six weeks goes by... And you get a call, from that same person that 'can't get enough of you'... And that person says 'Pat... I... am SO not into you anymore.' '...and if, and if there's any like, question you have, any chance you think there is, I just wanna let you know that, just the sight of you, would make me wanna die.' And so, you know that feels pretty good, right? So, you go on livin, hardly... And uh, couple weeks goes by... And you get a phone call. Guess Who It Is!!! And she says 'Pat, you know... All my ho'in around didn't pay off. Yeah, I really, I really think that you, you are the right one... And then you, you really wanna take her back bad but instead you go... 'I hate you so much... I could never... I can't talk to you right now, I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND WAITING FOR ME.' ...and that's what this song is about..." Something More I just opened up my eyes And let the world come pounding in It's all better now Things are gonna work somehow I guess I'll sleep another hour Tried to reach you at your mom's Well hey baby why you trying to keep away for so long? I stopped feeling good Somehow I just knew I would I guess I'll sleep another hour Feels like I'm wasting my time Hanging on this same old line Got to get you off of my mind There's nothing left for me to find And all the more I want All the more I need All the while you want something more And all the more I want All the more I need All the while you want something more Thought I found the words to say Just to get you feeling fine over heels, my way But it don't matter how I lost the word and nerve and now There's nothing more for me to say Feels like I'm wasting my time Hanging on this same old line Got to get you off of my mind And all the more I want All the more I need All the while, you want something more All the more I want All the more I need All the while you want something... There's nothing left for me to say Wanting what I need, this way And when I'm feeling low I know I need to stop. And someday you will see All the more you want... All the more you'll need me... All the while I'll be on to something more And all the more you want... All the more you'll need me... All the while I'll want something more I want something more I want something more I want something more than this.

Three Doors Down - Down Poison Posted: 3/4/2006 10:45:26 AM
I dreamed about this, sixteen days away... Now you’re here... and my head lays beside your body, You're pillowed under mine... You were poison, spinning 'round my mind. 'Welcome to my world' she said 'Do you feel alive?' she said 'It’s all a bad dream, spinning in your lonely head' 'Welcome to my world' she said Separated world, she stayed... separated. Down poison... Down poison... Body withered, body died. Time to take away this life Bad enough to die from one Not to mention four or five... 'Welcome to my world' she said 'Do you feel alive?' she said 'It’s all a bad dream, spinning in your lonely head' 'Welcome to my world' she said, Separated world, she stayed... separated Down poison... Down poison... Down poison, down... You weren’t there for me, but I was there for you You weren’t there for me, but I was there for you You weren’t there for me, but I was there for you You weren’t there for me, but I was there for you You wouldn’t die for me, and now I’ve died for you You wouldn’t die for me, and now I’ve died for you You wouldn’t die for me, I’ve already died for you You wouldn’t die, you wouldn’t die, you wouldn’t die... 'Welcome to my world' she said 'Do you feel alive?' she said 'It’s all a bad dream, Spinning in your lonely head...' 'Welcome to my world' she said, ...Separated world, she stayed separated...

Vertical Horizon - Liberty Posted: 3/4/2006 7:57:42 AM
We met as two total strangers As many lovers often do But who could have ever seen the danger Didn't know I'd fall in love with you You are this lonely picker's daydream Like a wish that's wishing to come true So Liberty just know I'm waiting To share this love song with you But do you think about me, when you're lying in his bed? Won't you take the time to explain? Do you ever think you'd rather be with me instead? Or do you only think about me when it rains? So we shared some special nights together And we said we'd watch the morning rise But when the sun was all around us Wasn't nothing I hadn't seen in your eyes. I try so hard to keep it hidden But I am hurting deep inside... For every time I've seen you smile There are two times that I have cried. But do you think about me, when you're lying in his bed? Won't you take the time to explain? Do you ever think you'd rather be with me instead? Or do you only think about me when it rains? Or do you only think about me when it rains? Now and forever my love will be the same I will be waiting underneath the pouring rain...

Ahh, looking forward to warmer days. By then, who knows. Could be a great place to BRING a date, as well as possibly FIND one, depending on how things are going by that time... I don't really have a preference for a specific time, but night seems best, work/schedule wise. Cool!

How pointless. Well maybe except for melly's comments. If somebody could tell me what it is I'm supposed to write in a profile that would tell someone what she'd be getting, or at least give her a vague idea, well that would be nice, but I don't think that's #1 on anyone's agenda here. Thanks for your time ladies. -A

Fran, stop it. I don't hate you or anyone else. But you have to admit your original response to me was antagonistic. And I admit I was easily antagonised. On that point you win. I think I'm a little smarter than you give me credit for. And maybe, you're a little smarter than I gave you credit for. Let's call it even. I hate enemies :) -A

I'm not looking for humour in response to a serious question. You ladies are very far away from me. Seriously, melly, you noticed I my spelling of realize, realise, but didn't notice my mis-spelling of behind as 'behaind'. Don't look at that statement as an insult, because it most certainly is not. I'm not here because I need a spellchecker. I walked right through English Composition 102 like it was a dream. I didn't even try and I passed with an A-. It's just a typo and I think anyone worth my interest would look past that. I know my errors. I just realise (realize) that nobody is perfect. I wasn't looking for a human spell checker, but I think you know that and you seem to be a pretty quick thinking person. Question is this: If you lived in my town or within an ummm... +/-50 mile radius of me, would you accept my offer of a date based on my profile? -A

Melly I've read a few of your posts and agreed with you on most if not all of them. Just because I'm not a regular please resist the temptation to judge me. Fran's post didn't make any sense... why would you say long 5 times? Ok, it's a long profile. I know that already, I wrote it. Should I write a short and uninformative one? I can do 2025kb/sec here, I'm only as fast as the site is. -A

@Frangirl-- Ok, what's wrong with "I"? After all, am "I" not describing "Myself" to potentials "I" have not yet talked to or met? Your opinion is not valid but your demeanor speaks volumes. Seriously, have you looked in a mirror lately, maybe shoved a voice recorder in your pocket and recorded a conversation you've had with someone lately? Seriously. You must have really been hurt somewhere along the line (as have I). Don't make it "my" problem and don't go out of your way to try to insult "me". You're really not that good at it and besides, what purpose does it serve? Anyone have a valid comment on my profile? -A

Train - Slow Posted: 3/3/2006 3:47:07 PM
Train - Slow Don't talk too fast to me, Slow. I wanna know... Share your philosophy, Before you go, I wanna know... If I knew better, I wouldn't wanna say. If I knew better, I wouldn't let the words feel this way. Cold, so cold. Like I woke up on the street. But isn't that the payback For being indiscreet? If I knew better, I'd climb up on my ego like a child. If I knew better, I'd knock down the flag on your shoulder that's... Swaying... If I knew better... I wouldn't change a thing. So don't talk too fast to me, Slow. I wanna know...

Prefer not to say? Posted: 3/3/2006 10:18:58 AM
When I see "A Few Extra Pounds" I look at the picture (you DO have a pic posted, don't you?)... Then I decide what that means. I like curvy women as well as slightly over "society's idea of perfection". Now if you're 300 pounds that's a totally different story, and if I can see your ribs, total, total turnoff... What really irks me is people who list one or more of their characteristics as "prefer not to say". What the hell is that supposed to mean? Either you do or you don't, you are or you aren't. Nuff said. -A

Dating Posted: 3/3/2006 8:57:18 AM
Sure, I'll introduce myself... My name's Alan and I live in Newtown, CT. I'm just looking for a nice girl who will treat me right and give me the chance to treat her right. All I'm looking for is a chance and then maybe the possibility for more. I've been starting to wonder if it is just me or if all the POF ladies around CT are just self-involved and judgemental. It always seems to be the same faces on my matches page... Perhaps I should broaden my age range? In any case, if there are any ladies who are looking for a good-natured guy who's not interested in playing games, check out my profile and just drop me a message... -Alan

How do you guys/girls deal with rejection Posted: 3/3/2006 6:11:13 AM
Hi everyone. This is my first post on these boards... but I just wanted to chip in my two cents on this subject. First, my last and only experience of a date (and of rejection) from POF: I recently met someone on here and I thought she was great. Smart, pretty, thinking on the same level, etc. She would IM and talk to me every day, even from work. We would talk on the phone and spent hours online playing Yahoo Games together and chatting on the phone at the same time. When we finally met, there was an almost instant connection. I mean, sure, it was a little awkward at first... but that's to be expected and it went away very quickly. We had 2 dates: The first date I picked her up at her apartment and took her out for drinks and talk at a quiet local pub with a nice, Irish themed atmosphere. We got along really well and laughed alot and agreed on almost everything. We had two beers and shared one from the same glass, and then we went for a walk around the block together. When we got back to her apartment she invited me in. I was really into her, so I accepted but promised myself nothing would happen that night. Nothing did. As always I was a perfect gentleman and didn't want to move to fast, even though the attraction was staring me right in the face. We listened to music and talked until after midnight, she told me I really made her laugh and she felt really comfortable with me and we hugged and I kissed her on the cheek when I left. We talked for oh, two more days like we were before and I asked her out again, this time for dinner. She suggested I come to her place and we could watch some movies and have some beers... I accepted. I picked her up at work and drove her back to her place. We were watching South Park on her computer and after about an hour two of that, that's when I touched her hand. Before I knew it we were tracing fingers, and when I looked into her eyes we kissed. Really kissed. About an hour of this and then before you know it we we're all over each other and well... The passion was incredible. Next day we talked as usual, and then on Saturday I asked her what she was doing that night. She told me she was going to see her best friend... with the tagline: "just friends, nothing more". I had to scratch my head at that one, why did she feel the need to say that? ...but I let it go. I was busy during that day so we talked on and off till she was ready to leave. Next day, she's not online at all. All day. Hmmm. Around eleven o'clock she signs on Yahoo. I said good morning, as usual, and then I asked her if she had fun with her friend. She said yes and that she got her a$$ kicked at pool. I said "well, I'll just have to teach you a thing or two, and then you can be the one kicking a$$". Silence. More Silence... I asked her some innocuous question and 15 minutes later I get some lame one or two word response. This went on for hours, and then I finally asked her why being so distant and quiet. She was just very busy at work. I told her I wasn't buying it and asked her to level with me. Finally she did. She told me it was actually a party she went to, and that while there, she had run into this guy she was dating a few months ago. The one she had told me she wasn't seeing anymore. Then she told me how she really liked me and how sorry she was but "we r not a match". Sorry sorry sorry and I'm thinking "If you're so sorry, why are you doing this? Why did you sleep with me...?". I told her I felt really cheap I never sleep with someone that soon. She says I guess we both needed sex, it's normal no big deal". Damn. So anyway while it wasn't that I was madly in love with her, but she led me to believe that there was something there until (I guess) something better floated along. She took me for a ride, used me, and there was nothing I could do about it except move on. Needless to say I was hurt but I forced myself to forget it. Sometimes it's best to go out with some friends, just take a drive, or curl up with a good book before bed. Crank up some loud music. Clean your house. Anything to take your mind off all the BS. All it is is BS and eventually while you won't forget it, it won't hurt as much, or at all. I still wish things had worked out differently, but they didn't and time to move on. Some people posted on this thread that getting really hammered drunk will make you feel better. That is BS. Sure it makes you forget about it for a while, but when you wake up in the morning you will feel ten times worse. Trust me, been there done that, and it doesn't work. Not unless you want to stay drunk for two weeks! Not a good idea. -Alan
