The dreaded change or delete profile dilema.. Posted: 1/28/2007 6:14:59 PM
I already know the answer but I'd actually like others to comment on it so someone else might get the point. Since you already know the answer this is just a rhetorical question then....... right? This is for T to get the message? It also sounds like a real communication failure. It seems to me that T is just not that into B!

what if a guy wants to move in right off the bat after meeting you Posted: 1/28/2007 2:55:49 PM
Is this a serious question OP? What do you really think? This sounds as creepy as some of the scam emails that I've received from guys in Nigeria and other places. In the very first emails from these guys they talk about how much they're in love with me, want to marry me, want me to be a mother to their kids, want to relocate to my city, and so on and so on. Go with your intuition. If you feel rushed, creeped out and pressured, then say and do what you need to, to get out of the situation. Good Luck.

What not to say when you are breaking up with someone Posted: 1/28/2007 2:40:25 PM
We can still be friends, right? It's not you, it's me. I just need some space. You're a terrific gal, a wonderful person and I wish you the best in the world. It's been fun! I want to explore other options. We just have different interests. You're not the right ................... (Pick a category.)

Should I buy the book, He's Just Not That Into You? Posted: 1/28/2007 2:13:40 PM
Remember now, he asked me to call him. Is this 39 y/o man still playing games or am I just jumping to conclusions? OP: If he wanted to talk with you, he would have done so by now, whether or not he missed your call. If you think that this quy is playing games, he likely is. It's only been a month of dating and weirdness is already setting in? He’s also trying to change your behaviour too....? You probably already know the answer to your own question. By all means, read the book if it will give you comfort. I’ve read the book, which is worth a look. It’s loaded with examples like yours of scenarios where the guy just wasn’t that interested. Learning to trust your intuition might be a more useful investment of time, along with living your life on your own terms, pursuing your nursing studies and caring for your children. ‘Game playing’ has no age limit in my experience. I’ve got the t-shirt to prove it! Guys will sometimes treat you as badly as you allow them to. Raise the bar, be yourself, expect to be treated well and see what happens. Good Luck GQT' Chime

I'll review your profile...you won't regret it, part 2 Posted: 1/13/2007 8:44:40 AM
But isn't it spelled "donair" or is that an alternate spelling with which I'm not familiar? Thanks NoMoreRegrets. Point taken about the 'Professional' comment . This was the spelling of 'döner kebab/kebap' the last time I was in Turkey, there may be variations. Cheers, Chime

My very first.. Posted: 1/9/2007 5:56:30 AM
I think it sounds a bit immature, but that can be attributed to my inexperience. Dwkfym, what a wonderful poem, first attempt or not! Don't beat up on yourself by being so hard on your creative work. Poetry is such a personal, subjective and precious creation. More power to you for being brave enough to share it with the world. You are braver than I am. I'm a fledgling poet myself having written throughout my life, but mainly for my own eyes. I've recently been reading a book titled, The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron. It's designed to help people discover and recover their creative selves. She talks a lot about protecting the artist child within, that it's important to not judge early artistic efforts. Well worth the read. Good luck with your writing!

Ditching the Life Script? Posted: 12/29/2006 2:36:06 PM
There's a script? I must have missed the memo..... I tend to go where my heart and passions lead me.

What's your favorite Quote? Posted: 12/27/2006 8:02:26 PM
Here are some of my favourite quotes…… Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. -Albert Einstein Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. - Carl Gustav Jung All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become. - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. - Albert Einstein Peace.

Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all? Posted: 12/24/2006 4:06:50 PM
Wow..... quite a contentious issue you raised Bosslady! Here are my two cents, it's a matter of choice .... my personal preference is a profile with a picture. I've run into hostile attitudes from men (on this site and others) when I requested pictures from them if they sent me emails without profile pictures. I was accused of being shallow and worse because of my request. Again, it's just my personal preference to see a picture.

Same ole faces keep appearing on dating sites...why? Posted: 12/24/2006 2:14:40 PM
Yes, I have seen familiar faces pop up on different sites. And it's interesting to see some folks' profiles fleshed out some as I view them on the different sites. I've only been using them for a few months and signed up with several to increase the odds. In some cases, I'm not a fully subscribed member, simply there to 'window shop' which does tend to limit my connectability at times. I guess we're all searching and haven't yet found what we're looking for. Nothing wrong with that. I seriously hope that I won't be on these same sites a year from now. Until I find what I'm looking for, I'm just fishing. I may just take a break soon. After a while trolling the profiles and reading through the forums can become time-consuming and addictive.

Honesty pls: Ladies, would you initiate contact with a man whose profile was great but pic was ugly Posted: 12/24/2006 1:12:53 PM
I think women are just as/no more shallow than men. I'll now speak for myself. If the hypothetical man's profile was really outstanding and piqued my interest, I'd give him a shot. After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained. But at the end of the day, the actual meeting would determine whether or not there was any real chemistry between us. I have actually contacted men who were outside the range of men who I would ordinarily find attractive. (Interestingly enough, you have no picture of yourself on your profile....hmmmh)

Here's something really wrong with other dating sites Posted: 12/24/2006 12:52:52 PM
I agree that there's something definitely fishy with Match.com, to name one dating site, in spite of Dr Phil's endorsement. After signing up for a month (I've since cancelled my subscription), I began receiving bizarre emails from individuals professing undying love and offering to relocate to my city, saying that I'd make a wonderful stepmother to the kids, in their first emails! Not only that, but they were supposedly working as engineers in Africa, and I was exhorted to write them as soon as possible to their personal email addresses. It turns out that most of these individuals had no photos nor profiles with Match so it was impossible to block them. To cut a long story short.... I used the delete button quite a bit. Not only that, but the so-called 'matches' found by Match.com were anything but. Live and learn. Plenty of Fish is an interesting alternative. I've not found my match yet, but I life in hope. Cheers.

Can't you tell? Posted: 12/24/2006 12:31:22 PM
I wonder whether it's really possible to be genuine 'friends' after an experience like that. It seems to me that you really wanted the guy to stop making sexual moves on you and have hime respect your body and your space which is your right. I too have been in similar situations and have said the same kind of thing only to be asked questions like, "What is it about me that you don't like?" Not an easy one to to answer gracefully and diplomatically. But I agree with your approach, honesty is the best policy.
