Apparently he is unconfident too according to my friends. I've met him and he's very attractive to me.

But I know loads of unconfident people that get and keep women/men

.....why should it be any different for me?

I think if it were meant for both sexes to ask one another in marriage it would of started like that from the beginning.

LOL...I don't think it's 'unattractive' for a woman to wait for a man to propose to her. Just because there are still some people in this world today that hold onto the core beliefs they were raised with doesn't make them wrong.

Men, how would you feel if your woman came to you asking you to marry her

If you want a girl you like to talk to you, then talk to her first - and then buy her a drink once you've been talking a bit and you can see she likes you if you still want to.

An example was that it might be "American" to throw a shirt away instead of replace a button on it

Also, Japan was once known as a workaholic country, long hours and overtime, etc........FYI, America has surpassed that, we work more hours than the Japanese, actually more than anyone in the developed world.... what value does that bring? That is less time with kids, with spouses, with family and friends and community, all in the service of making a buck.

in the past the US was asked to sacrifice in a war effort, now we're only asked to SPEND-

exactly, so it's not ethics and morals (our American Moral Compass) that drives the US, it's "assets and resources" (namely OIL)
that's why we ignore Tibet and the Sudan~

I said we do not need 1000 bases

so if the Chinese say that we aren't doing a good job of marketing their products and decide to send their military to LA to "help" their best interests that would be OK?

the US has about 1000 bases throughout the world and yet our health care system is deplorable and our economy has tanked...enough with the bases, Japan can take care of themselves, so can many of the other countries that we are "helping" by our presence...

So basically he is a bad guy because he plays WoW all the time and doesn't spend enough time with you? Have you tried to play WoW along side of him? Maybe get interested in something that he is interested in?

There's not yet been one self-proclaimed "nice guy" I would give a nickel for... sorry.

I'm a loner I don't have any friends. I always consider having friends a burden.

You get out of life (and love) what you put into it. If you see basic friendships as nothing more than a burden, you my friend don't even deserve a relationship.

Its a waste of time and money that could be spent on much better things.

It's been upheld in court that the police aren't responsible for your safety, and if something happens to you, even in front of them while they are watching, they are not liable for it.

By your goofy logic, if there are drunk drivers who mow down pedistrians or kill someone crashing their cars; therefore all our cars have to be taken away because some fool ran amuck with a car.

You are an idiot. The bradycampaign is moronic, and as brain dead as the clown it was named after.

I have always done for myself and think it would be nice to receive things from someone else for a change.

Saying concealed weapon laws should be changed because of the few bad apples is like saying they should quit selling drills....because some low life might use it to rob a vault.....STUPIDITY!!!!

One of the reasons that some people develop a negative view of all illegal immigrants is the refusal by authorities to deal with the small number who are causing serious problems.

bleeding heart liverals that CAN"T see the whole picture

The horse decomposed long ago, and the saddle's about gone too....they'll be beating the ground under the saddle soon.

WHATEVER, Liberal.

An illegal alien criminal was convicted and DEPORTED!!! It paves the way for more scum to be booted out this country.

,but there children born here illegally

At an average of 5 kid each that's is a lot of future democratic votes . This will make us the minority in this country and in 30 yrs they will be teaching American History Month.

It is not my problem to supply you with section 8, food stamps, medical, education, dream works that buys them a house , yes we buy them a house and pay 80% of the bill with section 8.

SKAJ, I would love it if that happened. Unfortunately, it's not. That's the reason I believe that countless people are sick of illegal immigration.

AND THE POLITICIANS ARE WHY THIS COUNTRY'S SO SCREWED UP, BUT ITS STILL THE BEST COUNTRY ON EARTH

But then what do i know i am not an attorney, prosecutor or judge or cop.

I think it might produce a trickle down effect where other illegal criminals (an oxymoron if I EVER heard one) will know this country isn't going to keep coddling their butts or keep looking the other way when they commit heinous crimes or when they commit the crime of being here illegally.

fewer and fewer people seem to be doing anything really PRODUCTIVE.

our government uses our consumerism like an aphrodisiac
what were we asked to do to "support" the war? shop
we were asked to help our failing economy by spending our rebate check-

The government has been consistently selling us down a river with the "free trade" agreements. Remember Georgie boy's comment "Outsourcing is good for the economy."? Working like a charm!

I live in Vancouver, where the current provincial government has made drastic cutbacks to social services while simultaneously spending billions of dollars for a 2 week event in 2010.

I'm upset that services which benefit everyone are constantly being cutback while massive amounts of money are spent on various forms of entertainment which are relatively trivial.

As a graduate student studying globalization in the disciplines of sociology&anthropology, I tend to view events from the "big picture" perspective.

It's a legitimate and mature perspective, one that humanity needs to take more seriously. Maybe a metaphor will help explain what I'm trying to get across:

Now imagine if all of those resources were directed instead towards something of actual social significance, such as dealing with global warming, improving health care, holding politicians accountable, volunteering in our communities, giving our children high quality education, etc. We could actually be making our world a better place.

But I wonder (and hope) that women may have more innate intuition about what the truly meaningful things in life are, namely caring about people. Or have women become similarly socialized to be obsessed with the trivial distractions of mass-media society? Recently I've noticed a disturbing number of women list "shopping" and "UFC" among their main interests in their POF profiles, so part of my motivation in writing this post is a hope that your responses will restore some of my faith in humanity.

I'm a modern woman, but it's still the really small things that make me happy!

When you pay for yourself and overextend and overaccomodate, you rob him of the pleasure of showing you how much he enjoys being around you. It is your own fault.

Lately he just makes fun of me... calls me names that he thinks are funny, gives me a hard time about dumb things, quotes movies nonstop (usually Will Ferell or Jack Black films), teases things like my feet or face, throws pillows at me... I can usually get him to stop, or I give in and fire back at him, and he is usually laughing the whole time. This is the stuff my 21-yr-old brother does to me!

I suppose everyone has their own way of showing someone they care for them. I am not sure if the teasing, playing rough, and jealousy are things I can put up with for long (esp. the jealous remarks). Right now I am starting to think perhaps he became scared when things were going well and we were getting closer. He is starting to appear more immature and insecure everyday.

Do you think most men evolve?

...so why make it a forum issue?

however adoption is serious serious commitment and responsibility and any man/woman who adopts a child has all my respect.

i wanted to see him and ask him if he was ready to go to the next level of dating, meaning seeing each other exclusively. so after the date i drove to his house. it was quite late when i got there as the date was in a distant city. normally i wouldn't come over so late but i happen to know he keeps late hours.

was i wrong to go on the date without telling him first?
