Inbetween Holiday's Party!! Dec 12, 2009!! Posted: 11/23/2009 7:19:31 PM
Are those the only hotels/motels that are close? I checked out the Jo Joe and they have all bad reviews and some were frightening. I want to attend but do not want to drive back in the wee hours.....my wee hours are earlier than other peoples....of the morning. Usually between 11 or 12. I checked out Paul's menu and they have some yummy food. They even have fried okra.... ceecee

Are you too comfortable? Posted: 10/19/2009 6:19:46 PM
No luck with the house yet, SB. I decided if it was meant to be then it would be.....as far as myself, I know I'll grow where ever God plants me. I had thought about a different area of Tennessee, then Georgia and Fla., and even as far away as Texas...the last piece of real America. There seems to be less restrictions and laws there...low tax base. But then I think about my son and grandchildren and being far away from them....and then am reminded of when I was living in S.Korea.... In fact, no matter where in the world, I've lived....Tennessee has always called my name to come home. Besides the fact, I would look like a scene out of the Grapes of Wrath, going down the road with 6 chickens, 2 burros, mini horse, along with cats and dogs....furniture and stuff. I have discovered people are just human and humans do make mistakes...I know, a big der.... I will not take it personal. Not likely a person would seek me out to lie to or poof disappear and he's gone......that's just what he does and moves on the the next person. With the economy in such sad shape and to get myself out more, I took a part-time job...a half day, 2 days a week. I still seek gusto and feel certain that when the time is right, the right one will appear, with arms, heart, and mind, wide open for me.....all this other bologna is just a necessary path to my right guy. ceecee

Pet Peeve!! Posted: 10/17/2009 8:59:45 PM
Little peeves: Thinking there might be a slight hint of a possible connection only to find the person does not believe in God....the end. Guys around my age who have a cut off age from a 1 to 10 year difference....leaving my age out of range. Not having my special man to snuggle up with or plan the holidays with either.....finding any ole kisser might be easy, since some people turn into kissing fish, around the holidays. That won't do. I keep hoping but it seems impossible to find the one guy who would be the right kisser for me....and one who I would have a connection with on all necessary levels. Will the "right one" for me please step forward and show yourself. Then there would be 2 people less on pof. ceecee

I'd say, yes I would, if we had something in common after chatting and learning each others likes and dislikes. Nobody or nothing is perfect...some people, I've noticed have it right down to a "tee" as far as the looks and size of a woman...they're the ones only concerned with the wrapper and not what's in someones heart. I think a person must be upfront and honest about their limitations and not hold out, hoping that getting to know them would make a difference......I know I've been blindsighted, not with the person being handicapped, but with their felonous(sic) past. ceecee

SB, she said in her reply, that "he" was her ex father-in-law...........and she wanted to warn all the area women......creeped me out just thinking about what "some" not all, mind you, keep hidden and are not up front and honest about. Not just online but daily, human to human, contact. I also wondered about the bath tubs and there being two of them, facing the water..... was that suppose to be before taking the little blue pill? Although those tubs are really small---Euro small--- and not large enough for two people. Anyway, they messed up the Viva Las Vegas song. I don't like those "male enhanment(sic)" ads either.....the woman whispers it, while telling the world. ceecee

It's just turned fall....but mostly it's been rain fall...soggy every where around here. I had a flu shot yesterday so I feel kinda blah today. The other day, I got a strange message from someone warning about someone being HIV...........so I sent my regrets and asked her why she was telling me and she said she was warning all females. That was a first for me....on here. I'm waiting for the real first......meeting someone and getting off here. ceecee

I like that dressing up and dancing around. People are very entertaining so sometimes I people watch. While driving and or sitting in my truck in a store parking lot, with music on.... watching people walk along to the beat of what ever music is playing on my radio...there's always one person who has the same beat as the music. I like to catch people off guard......general conversation with strangers and I say something "off the wall"..nothing crude or rude, just something odd or teasing....just to see the reaction. More so if I know the person....I like the "shock factor". Everyday is a cause to celebrate what I have and how blessed and fortunate I am.....I'm determined to grow where ever God plants me. Many times when I see how a couple are together...frowns and hard looks...then over hear their conversation, I think...."I sure don't miss that" and do a quick two step...the other way. ceecee

my POF experience Posted: 9/24/2009 8:24:18 AM
I think some people's definations of words and expressions are different than others. I came to this opinion after living for 59 years... Words seem to go down the drain real quick for some.... Like: Forever....or until someone I want more comes along OR you've served your purpose and I've gotten what I wanted/needed, from you. Long term....day to day or ---when I get what I want or need from you...then you've served your purpose---30 days max, which ever comes first. Friends....you give me what I want and I move on...Next. A true friends does not sc*rew their friends... This is not everyone and not owned by one gender....it's those few who taint everybody else. 30 years ago I fell quickly, deeply and madly in love, with a man. I felt he must of hung the moon....and made the pedestal that he put me on. 24 years later, I find out, that he was in no way the man I loved....he didn't change in those years...he had dirty little secrets and habits through out our marriage. Leopards can not change their spots but they can hide, in the grass, and track their prey....eventually, those spots are revealed. They also know an easy target cause they've studied their prey.... My point is just because I was betrayed for so many years does not mean that every man would be that way. He was one man who did bad things...ONE. I've learned: To trust until I have a reason not too. Life tends to come at you fast but after a few excuses of "why we didn't meet", they are just excuses and I move on. I listen more to my "gut" feelings instead of my heart and head...they get an input but it's discussed with my gut. If I feel an ounce of doubt or hesitation...I move back 9 yards. Anything to good to be true is probably not good nor true....I hesitate and move back 9 yards. There is a big difference in suspicion and caution. Bitter is a pill I don't want to be. With the internet and people writing their own scripts, heck, we can write anything and be anything, we want too. It's what a person produces that matters. Granny used to say, some men want Kate and Edith too. Ok, I'm off my soapbox. ceecee

my POF experience Posted: 9/22/2009 8:22:08 AM
"happy-happy-funtime with all haste"...funny but I believe it to be true. I also think a person can choose to take negative or positive out of an experience. I believe there is always a lesson to take from the experience lest we continue to repeat the lesson and get the same results. Life is about learning and I don't think it stops until we are on the other side of the dirt. So where did you go, op? ceecee

my POF experience Posted: 9/20/2009 12:52:36 PM
Op, please don't get me wrong and think I'm being criticial or judging you when I say... HUH? You joined in May and have dated and bedded 3 men since then? So you knew them for a couple of weeks, went out a couple of times, then slept with them? Curious..... Where you just looking to just date different guys and not looking for a long term relationship with one guy, before you changed your mind and say now, it's only for sex? Is it because you've gotten hurt by the other 2 guys and been rejected by them.....that you changed your mind? Please don't "sell yourself short"....you are worth more than a few nights of heated passion. That will never fill you up and will leave you empty and alone. For me and my opinion..... slow down and take time to get to know the man.....talk to him, look into his eyes, get to know him emotionally....you might discover you don't even like him enough to sleep with him. Besides the fact there are so many STD's........... Be good to yourself. ceecee

What would you say to the love of your life? Posted: 9/18/2009 7:26:39 AM
You guys are so romantic...romance hasn't died, it just moved to this thread. To my love; With you, my love, I will share the "all" of me. Among the many promises made, to each other..... one, I would make, would be to not turn tail and run at the first sign/hint of trouble/problem....I've lived long enough to know without rain there are no rainbows. If someone truly loves someone, they don't hurt them. ceecee

Some of us meet here...discuss a topic....lend our opinions and that's about the size of it. I'm sure some have met this way.....I just haven't heard anyone say.... Probably got out of here quick...I know I would. I think it's a "two handed" problem with being put through the wringer...both male and female. Sometimes life is a series of wringers........ ceecee

Are you too comfortable? Posted: 9/10/2009 7:35:21 AM
I am guilty and do about the same thing daily. Get up everyday and mainly this is my schedule...... Coffee...then more coffee. Check email. Check out POF.... read the forums, check out a few profiles---sometimes I send out a "hello" and read the events. Do all the daily things...work, clean....since I put my house on the market, Ive been doing some reorganizing and packing up. Fast forward to around 8 PM, after I've done a butt load of things... Shower. Check email...delete...reply...spam. Back to POF...check out profiles..sent messages....see who's signed up for some of the events... Check out a few other sites...do some writing. Play a few computer games. Then nighty, nighty, night. I do more than what I've listed...this is the nutshell version. I do reach out and say Hi but, evidently, those "hi's" haven't been to the "right person". Or no one wants any "friends". Anyway, it's all gotten old and now I think...when I consider saying hi....well, what is the use? Negative responses tend to lead to negative thoughts......and a "why bother" attitude. I don't like that so I've decided to limit my visits on here....going to replace the time with positive activities. Am I the only one who is tired of spending evenings and nights with the computer...TV? There are no outdoor concerts or other venues close....to attend. There are many bars but I don't go to them.....I don't drink. Unless I was seeing a musician or bar owner....then I'd go. Please ya'll, don't take this as "poor pitiful ceecee"...even though, me allowing myself to get in this rut and staying there, would be pitiful. I'm changing it by getting out the jack and getting out of the rut. ceecee

Baptisim by fire..... I'd been seeing him from a long while...weekly, when he said I needed to "get out there". He mentioned one of the Christian sites, which I joined it for a short while but found it, on most part, to be the opposite...guy wise. Then on the other end, zealots. At that, very low, point in my life I couldn't see myself with anyone else.....not even in my minds eye. Nov. 2006.... My cousin said..."Why pay for it, when you can get it for free"?..and suggested POF. For a very long time, I had no photo posted. That was my first encounter with a person who was so pushy about it...demanding, in fact, and the beginning of my standing up from my, then, "door mat" position. I have attracted my share of people who are not who they say they are....but still have a grain of hope in finding "the one" who actually matches his profile...or in "real life", someone who does not have a felonious past OR isn't a falling down drunk, with a drinking schedule, that begins at 4 every afternoon and ends when they can't find their nose or the case of beer is gone. I think the current location, of my business, it isn't very likely that I find anyone there. Tons of married people OR people that say they are single....or complain about their spouse. In a sea of lies it's difficult to find honesty........or to know if any of what's said is honest, without getting to know the person, one on one. Who would have thought that a simple, "one on one", would be difficult? To me it seems that some people have just got into the habit (comfortable) of looking then moving on...a daily/nightly routine....check their mail and who has looked at them..look at a few faces....then bedtime. The other day I thought with cooler weather coming up and Christmas around the corner....how nice it would be to work toward a relationship and have someone to "slow dance" with around the Christmas tree....if not, then I always have me to swirl around the tree. I'm settled but will not settle......... ceecee

Thank you so much msg. 4 for understanding my question. My point with mentioning "seeing the counselor" and him requiring me to join a singles site, was how I came to be on here. Baby steps or a toe in the water......to being single. When I first separated, it was so painful to see couples, enjoying each other.....holding hands and laughing...sharing. So bad in fact, I avoided going out.....I remember being in wally world and hearing a familiar song and having to rush out of the store. With time, now it seems like I only dreamed I lived that life....and it most certainly is not the "me" that I am today. Now I see how many single people or mostly women with children there are. Now I avoid the stores because of the prices. I have no problem with sharing my life but it's kinda hard when there is no communication to get the ball rolling. When I said that desire had left the building, I was referring to the lack of contact....my desire is the same. I still have it. I have been blessed with thinking with both sides of my brain (per my ex counselor, now close friend) so I tend to look for the "why(s) or reasons" for things. To the lady from South Wales....welcome to the Tennesee forum. As far as my pics...I have nothing to hide nor am I seeking pity. I am not going to fill a photo up with my face. If someone wants to get a closer view, a simple met for coffee, would cure that. And yipes who said anything what so ever about getting married? I like the farming method: Sow the seeds, cultivate, protect and nurture them, and allow them to grow into something beautiful. As far as FWB.........that is not nor will it ever be an option. I'm saving all my "everything" for one person...the right person for me... ceecee

I was thinking about people who don't even say hello and wondering why some just look and look...and look and never bother to reach out. And wondered if after being single/by yourself, for a long while, if maybe you like it better than sharing your life with someone? Has time and distance from being a couple to being a single made a difference in pursuing a lasting relationship? Has the idea of wanting/desiring to share your life with someone turned into...well, I'd have to share if I were with someone? I've been single....separated in 2003 and divorced in 2007. Been on here almost 3 years but started out as a requirement from the counselor I was seeing. Felt I needed to see a counselor to sort out my feelings and figure out myself.. I have the desire to share my life but it seems on most part, desire and being serious and wanting to have a relationship, has left the building. What are your thoughts? ceecee

What would you say to the love of your life? Posted: 9/2/2009 8:32:31 AM
I keep telling myself that very thing.....not all men set out to "seek and destroy". I do know it takes time to recover from being used as a "toilet"......... .... as quickly as a person was adored and loved, the lever is grabbed and flushes you right out of his mind and life. I had walls complete with molts and a gauntlet of other things built to protect my heart...closed for business. A closed heart will get no where fast and never have a chance to possibly find love....let's face it, some folks don't even want to drive around the corner, to even meet someone. Love doesn't stop, has no limits and doesn't expire....I think, many times, the word love is over used. It gets confused with other things... If someone loves you then they are there through the good, the bad and the ugly. I thought I might say...."I think I might be in serious like with you and would like to get to know you better". I know what you mean otd...nothing, nada along with some strange looks, just because I said hello. On here it's....they never answer back or read delete. It's a suppose to be a social network....a place to perhaps, meet someone. Do some people not know how to be sociable? ceecee

Guess his headline should have said...."What I said to the love of my life". I suppose "love" happens faster for some than others. To my potential "love of my life"...by showing an interest in their profile and saying hello would be my first step. To my actual love of my life I'd have to say........I've been waiting for you all my life and shower him with love... hugs and kisses. ceecee

Tiny peeves of the day: 1. Guys look at my profile then, look and look....and look, look, look and not ever say hi. 2. My lawn mower's not working because I left the dang key in the wrong position, when I turned it off.............and it ran the new battery down. 3. My grass...ah, weeds, grow to fast. 4. People who don't own up to their mistakes and make excuses...always blame other people for the outcome.....unless it turns out good. Then they take credit when none is due. ceecee

Does anyone actually meet from here? Posted: 8/17/2009 3:43:38 PM
Well, has anyone met anyone yet? I read a profile and the age was 3, mere, years younger than mine....had some hobbies similar to mine, liked what he wrote in his "about me", then I get to his "restrictions"....the age he wanted was from 12 to 3 years younger than himself.......... Then I think, "well quit looking at me, already"!....cause I look at who's looking/looked, at me. Today was just the last straw.............so I added a notice to my profile. "Would I care to run ruff shaw over him"....no, he didn't put it that way..... I do not care to dominate anyone, nor do I want to be dominated He should have put that on his profile......... Of course, I could meet the "right one for me" in a few years, if I have to go to the nursing home.... ....like my granny did.... .... she was 85, I think, and he was in his mid to late 70's. Had a big deal wedding right there in the home, then moved out, into his home. I know there are nice men out there. I've met a few at some of the meet and greets.......just not the one. ceecee

Going to some POF get togethers is a great way to meet people. Some people are not as outgoing as other's....I've never had that problem, though. I've had a few strange/shocked looks, just from saying, "Hi, how are you"? Met 3 nice men at the last one I attended in Maggie Valley, NC. Tn, NC, and GA...plus a local stalker....none close to my area......but had a great time and those guys looked like their pictures on their profiles. Hours of non stop laughter. I think, however, one was looking for someone younger and probably closer to his area... ....one was not ready to get to know anyone or maybe I was too tall. And the other one said he really didn't care if he had a woman in his life or not. This was the conclusion I came too when I talked to them.... I did have a great time and also played putt putt golf with a handsome man too. Even though they may look like their pics, it would take some time to discover if their profile was really the person they profess to be. Time does tell all. ceecee

I'd quit trying to find anyone...then out of the wood works, they appeared. Met 3 (shouldn't count 1, since his English was broken) and as far as chemistry....not there, but can sit and enjoy chat with them. One from online and the other 2 when I was working. They are friends....if I don't have that feeling of attraction and in my mind's eye, I can't see me in their arms....and have no desire or can't imagine kissing them, other than a peck on the cheek, from them not me (in that reguard, I'm very careful where I put my lips, but that's just me).... ....they are friends only. Last week-end, there was a grab and a kiss on my cheek...I recoiled. I do not like grabby I was plenty mad but it was too hot outside to kick his ole butt. Can chemistry be grown? With time or if it aint there to begin with does that mean it will not show up later? The guy I met on here does look like his pic. And several other guys from the POF get togethers have looked exactly like their pic. I've heard that some...not all...guys add at least 2 inches to their height. I experienced the height lie a couple of years ago...said he was 5'11 but when he appeared, I was wearing flats and was taller than him. I do not mind short....I DO mind the lie though. Along with "average" body and pic shows a big belly. Don't mind the belly, again, it's the lie......we can see the photo guys! ceecee

Bucket List.. Posted: 8/10/2009 7:05:06 PM
Ah, Mardi Gras...that's a good one and not that expensive....it's a sight and a half. I wouldn't go alone...male or female. I shall put that in my bucket also. A good room with an inspected, balcony...3 rd floor. Sight seeing during the day, early dinner and on the balcony, out of harms way, for the show. A trail ride into the Tetons...2 weeks of camping out in God's country. Great scenery, great food, great horse and maybe a great man to enjoy it all with. That's been on my list since the 80's. except the man part....ever so sorry, as he was, I had a man then. ceecee

Pet Peeve!! Posted: 8/8/2009 8:27:08 PM
Having no health insurance after having spent many years supporting, following and being a good military wife.... If I had sneaked across the border then could I get insurance???? Death counseling for older Americans. How about this...if the health plan is so great then switch all the government....straight across the board.....including our senators, congressmen AND president, to this health plan. Our neighbors to the north should be upset also, since many come across because they have what is about to be slung at us....long waiting for simple things. Not pet peeves but major "you know whats" ceecee

What's the difference? Posted: 8/4/2009 4:29:46 PM
I know you do "T"..... Love you woman. and admire you for your honesty. My pants have been different sizes since I left my ex, back in 2003, Nov..........18, 16, 14, 12, 10.....now 8 to 10. And no man has gotten into them either. To wear or otherwise.......soI have self control. Someone asked what was I saving myself for............ Well that's a no brainer. For the man I love and am in love with. Also been told it wasn't like a cake and no one could tell if a piece was missing..........my answer, I could tell....I would know. As far as guarding your heart because it's been hurt before....I now swing on the edge of caution and take it slow...baby steps. What seriously got my heart hurt before was the full steam ahead approach..........that and believing absolutely everything that came spilling out of his lying lips. I blame that partly on youth.......... Warped priorities. And the rest of it on my then defination of love. ceecee

OK, I now am in need of a huge bucket Jim, I'm so sorry. I could never begin to describe the emotions and feeling that congered up. That is so heart breaking. God bless you... As for myself, I would always, no matter what the courts had declared.....cause I know full well, sometimes the courts come up with some whacky stuff.... anyway, I doubt I would accept what they said. There would forever and always be a tiny little voice...and a grain of hope...saying that don't mean she's passed. Stranger things have occured. Not that I would mention it but where ever I went I would be looking...subconsciencely (sic). That's just me though...I find it very hard to give up on just about anything...... Look at being on here, without a grain of hope, I'd already been gone....but that little voice of hope, says "one day you will be loved like you always hoped to be loved, so hang in there". I suppose that's on the list in my bucket...but I know love don't come easy. I can say in my bucket is eventually getting married, not like I'm going to scare anyone off y saying it...that would infer, there were guys hanging around.. Two people who sincerely love and are in love, with each other, getting married. .....I wouldn't mind a wedding like Jill and Kevin...check out youtube....best wedding dance ever.....and to the song Forever. I'm selfish and always, I wanted one more day with mommy...to climb into bed and snuggle up with her. She wanted me to snuggle with her when she was in the hospital and I got right in there with her...no matter we set off alarms. I had 2 brothers and 2 sisters but they dislike me...........none of them bothered to come around until she was at death's door. So it's great Jim that you had siblings that cared about their mom. ceecee Hey, ya'll are to funny with your restrictions..........

Thanks and s to you Easy Going Maan. My mommy was in total amazement over every bit of scenery. I heard her on many occasions say, "Thank you Jesus for allowing me to see all of these beautiful things and for my wonderful daughter". Back last September she decided she wanted a little red convertable, for our next adventure, so she signed her car over to me, so when I found one I could buy it. Funny, she saw a while haired lady driving one and said.... and I thought I was too old to have one...I want one too! Her only stipulation was there must be enough room for our suit cases/cooler and for Chewy, our traveling dog. Last time we stayed gone a little over a month and we'd planned a month and half to 2 for our next one. She was very fond of Amarillo, Tx., so we stayed a while and a small place in NM., that escapes me at the moment......it has Route 66. The memories I will cherish forever...I still hear her voice saying..."Thank you precious, for showing me so much of the world. I never thought, in my life, I'd get to see so many wonderdul things". I never neglected my mom so I have no regrets....she ruled my day...what ever she wanted, she got. Got up, made her coffee, served her in bed and would crawl in with her...she loved that...and ask what she wanted to do today. Same with what ever she wanted...... After several years, most times, I feel lost without her. I'd say love them, with your all, while they're here. Maybe if you have living parent(s) you could check to see if there are any list in their bucket(s). ceecee

Driving across the USA was wonderful...mom and I did that last year and we were planning the second trip and coming back a different way....when she passed..... ....via the coast along Texas, Mississippi and along Mobile, Ala and into Fla. to stay a week or so there. You never know when you're going to be at the end of "your bucket".....So I cherish and am thankful for everyday.... Nothing better than a cruise when you have a balcony........I too, have thought about cruising to Alaska. But then I'm drawn to the tropicial islands. ceecee

I would see having a guard up to mean; a person has been hurt before and had their heart broken/destroyed...kinda like reaching for something, when you're a kid, and having your hand whacked really hard....tends to make a person think twice about reaching out for something... ....and in the case of having your heart broken/crushed beyond recognition, a person might be relucent to put their heart back out there, for fear of having it broken again. Just as a brain remembers good feelings it remembers painful....physcial (sic) and mental. For a long while I not only had a huge fence but molt to guard my heart.....gees that's like being stuck in a huge, muddy rut...spin those wheels, rev that engine till you break the tack....you still get no where. My way of thinking is a guarded heart is not an open heart....closed hearts can not recieve or give love. My heart is open to love and to be loved. I'm just waiting for the right mister right. ceecee

Kicked back in a hammock, in Key West, de-stressing before a book signing by reading some of my book reviews.........all the while sipping a frozen, tropical drink. Background music...Jimmy Buffet, of course. ceecee

What criteria, if any--the must haves-- could you live with? Posted: 7/27/2009 8:01:09 AM
I keep reading "no drama"...I have no drama in my life and I do not want any. Life is drama, from the time a person gets up in the morning until they tuck themselves in at night. Maybe they're talking about nagging, whinning and constant complaining? I'd say it didn't start out with the above mentioned things but built up with time.....like barnicals (sic) on a ship. Even the clearest radio station can get some static....most of us know how to cure that with a little fine tuning. A great relationship is kept great with constant fine tuning. About 3 years before the end of my marriage, I ask hisnibs if he knew what my favorite colors were. He immediately answered with colors from when we were first together...about 24 years before. He found it hard to believe people change.........go figure. Some tired phrases I've noticed are: "I still open doors for ladies". "I want a woman to walk beside me and not behind me".......I think, "Where do these guys think we're from, Asia"? I want to be in one man's...heart, mind, soul, life, bed....to be the one cause he would be my one. To share.....sunsets, sunrises, funny stories, crazy things witnessed during the day, eat and laugh...play....be silly..get serious. To hold each other closer during the thunder storms.....listen to the rain and look for rainbows. Honestly, I've never had all that cause I've never had a partner, to share those things in life. I did have a task master...I was a dedicated military wife, who moved out smartly before the ink on the orders got dry or cold. So I couldn't live with a task master. ceecee

A tater log is kinda like a giant french fry, battered. An average size potato, quartered, battered, and deep fried....I have eaten some that were baked, very good too. Some leave the peel, most don't. Around here they are also sold at some of the "quickie" type markets... ...a cold drink, a piece of chicken and tater logs, equal instant picnic. Don't forget the ketsup and mustard...I mix mine. Pet peeve.... People who zoom around to pass you, then cut you off, to get off on the exit....why? ceecee

Just because the sign says "all you can eat" does not necessarily mean the entire meal. 4 tater logs and 4oz. of cole slaw.... that's it. Wouldn't think a person would have to clarify...or ask for the definition of "all you can eat". Now I know. I love tater logs...fries (steak, shoe string, crinkle, curly, zesty)....hash browns....baked...twice baked....tots......... Please give me more than 4. ceecee

what do you say Posted: 7/23/2009 8:54:52 AM
Sometimes, the timing is just off....for what ever reason. Before ya know it, to much time has went by, to get back with someone. I agree with using the bait you have....to do otherwise is phoney. No bait and switch..... Telling the truth is easier to do than to lie to someone....don't have to keep up with the truth. I think some profiles are written...molded... to be who the other gender is looking for...made to order. Then surprise, people are in no way, who they say they are. Fly bait...... I miss being a couple and doing things together....not everything since I believe in individual time. I've recently discovered I'm attracted to big boys who have "big boy toys"......nothing wrong with playing and occasionally sharing. I envy older couples who enjoy those toys together and think, "I'd like that". I guess that comes partly from spending nearly 30 years with a sissy.......... Sometimes I go to the lake, take a lunch and my laptop... ...fun to watch guys learning to sail/ski or load or unload their boats.....big ole grins on their faces.....frustrations...a few curse words and they're at it again. Just be who you say you are and start the relationship out honest and on solid ground. How sweet that will be, when you least expect it, to find yourself with the one you desire. "Watched pots never boil"....it's when you're not looking that you find the water has boiled all over the stove top. ceecee

OP, when you say...."the problem is when you get something going then it just fades off like the one that got away. after a while you begin to wonder if the bait is good anymore"..... What do you mean when you say, get something started? Do you mean you start talking to them then they fade away? And you feel there is something...a connection...that you share with the person? I can say if I do feel there is something with a man, I would not be running in the other direction. I've been a party to those fade aways.....and what that told me was that/those people were not for me. So they did me a favor by fading away. With all this, get it now and gotta have it immediately...some people forget that love takes time, is not instant, nor can it be forced. Reminds me of that old song......making loving out of nothing at all. Love has to be nurtured and cultivated....time spent together........ between two people, who probably came to the same conclusion, around the same time. At times this site reminds me of hunting instead of fishing. Feeling like a target, or that I have one on my back, tends to make me skiddish. A far as rules for dating.......hey, make up your own rules. My rule is if I don't like the rules, I just change them. ceecee

I'd invite her out for coffee.... Most people are on here to meet a sincere, honest to God, real person, so I'd say be yourself. For me, someone trying different "techniques", are what people do when they are just playing around with others feelings. ceecee

Steve McNair Found Dead Posted: 7/6/2009 8:24:52 AM
4 shots...crime of passion? Interesting to know where the first shot landed...if it was in the head. Also interesting to know who owned the firearm. I just heard, on the news, that the gun was found under the woman's body. Maybe she ---the girlfriend--- didn't do it. Perhaps it was one of her family members? As a former, betrayed, wife....I may have wished him harm, at the time, but that thought quickly vanished, with the voice of reason. Just my quarters worth.. ceecee
