"We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight...
...We would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois' law enforcement community who have chosen to join us here at the Place Hotel Ballroom at this time. We certainly hope you all enjoy the show and remember people that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there's still some things that make us all the same...
...You, me, them, everybody..."
"…You know people, when you do find that special somebody, you gotta hold that man, hold that woman, love him, please him, squeeze her, please her, signify your feelings with every gentle caress…because it’s so important to have that special somebody to hold, to kiss, to miss, to squeeze, and please…"
We're having a lively conversation on past depressing heartache, etc. Pity party!
You're not intruding, you're part of it.
Did you get what I was trying to say? That was just an example. Check to see if the girl is giving out signals that she is approachable.
To be completely honest I feel like I don't even exist in here.
I saw. What signals do I look for? I am not exactly telepathic.
Hmm...therapist sounds a bit too much. I don't have that many problems. Plus, I can't afford that.
Come on, Paul, this is the Saturday night singles thread! You're among friends.
Well, P, maybe she was going through something painful. She was sitting alone on the bench. Maybe she did not feel like talking. Did you stop to check out the vibes she was sending? You can't just go at a girl like gangbusters. You have to try to discern her mood at the time. Also, if you told her that you cared about her after only a few days, she would be wise to be on guard. You have to give it time. Don't rush it.
Sorry about that. Thanks.
humm...a van is sitting in my driveway....have no idea who it is. I have a tv camera at all my enterances at my house (was for delivery purposes for the business, but now serves as good security. should I go check it out or call the cops?
Upon her divorce, she went out and spent about 12k, for more jewelry. in total, she had about 25k or so, worth of jewelry, including: 2 diamond tennis bracelets, a diamond ring, a rolex(the REAL one), and a couple of necklaces.
Recently, she got low on money. SO, she tried to sell some of this jewelry. She was offered about 15% of the money she paid for it.
NOW-- she knows how foolish she has been, where money is concerned. She wishes she was still married. But she still tries to "buy, happiness," with new clothes, etc, on a regular basis.....
Welcome Theresa :)
Rats!!!! My eyes are dark brown.
Well, there are lots of girls out there with blue or green eyes. If that is what attracts you, go for it. Just make sure the girl is approachable.
LOL I do not mind dark eyes. Brunette, blonde, blue eyes, brown eyes, whatever. I'll take any.
Eye color does not matter to me.
I know that it is a very hard thing to do, but when you realize that the person for whom you care is not interested in you, it is time to end it. Don't try hanging on. Take it from one who has learned the hard way. Been there, done that. :(
I am glad you are over her. Now find the right girl. She is out there. Just be patient.
I just hope there is such a girl out there for me as well.
Well, when they have one, go. Do you like to read? If there is a book signing at a bookstore by an author you like, go to that. You are sure to meet someone of like interests.
Also remember, even if you meet someone to whom you are not attracted in that way, she may have a friend or a sister who is just right for you.
Not true!!! Where did you get that idea? Paul, you just have to go places where nice girls would be. Also, those places need to be places which you like and where you are comfortable. You can't be yourself if you are in a place that is not "you" and where you feel uncomfortable.
OKay, time for the whole story.
This was on a chartered bus trip. Every year, we would go on it. It would last one weekend. She started going when she was about 10, and I was 11. But then she didn't go again until she was 14, and I 15. Needless to say, I was a bit taken back by how much she'd grown.
The first year, I finally got up the courage to sit and talk. Things went fine. After the trip, I realized how "in love" I was (emotional teenagers). I called her, and she acted uninterested. I was devastated. (Phone phobia I have...it's roots can be traced back to that incident).
Year later, we go on the chartered bus, and there she is again. I had gotten over the devastations, but...the whole trip, she acted like she had got a huge crush on me. Lots of flirting, talking. She acted interested in me. I fell back in "love." I was on cloud 9. She even said she'd go to the prom with me!
But after that second trip, I wanted to call her, but I couldn't whip up the courage. I did call once, but her Dad answered the phone and said she was sick and didn't feel like talking to anyone.
Third year, that's when the whole bench thing happened. I whipped up the courage to talk to her, but she acted severely uninterested in me. She'd talk nonstop about how great her boyfriend was. And show me pictures of her with him at the prom (like I wanted to see that). At the end of the trip, I said goodbye, and told her I would miss her, and that I cared about her, but she gave me that strange look. My own fault. I should have dropped it.
Thankfully, I never saw her again after that. But I was so hurt, and angry at myself, I didn't fully recover until about a few months ago.
