That depends on whether or not you really mean it. Same goes for just 'I love you'. It's meaning has to come from the heart. Obviously if you sound like a zombie when you say it someone is going to feel like you are just saying it. The best way to approach it, IMO, would be to stop, look at them, and tell them that you love them. Then they know you are really focused on them!

Heh, maybe she just has standards? You know, like morals. AKA she wants someone special for a meaningful relationship rather than just someone to warm her bed. IMO, you are judging a book by your own cover.

Uh, might help you find nerdy women if you spelled looking right?
Or it might not?
I guess this is the: 'Would a nerdy woman rather post in a nerdy post that has perfectly nerdy spelling' conundrum.

"LIVED IN OKLAHOMA" "ARRESTED IN DENVER" Even the article stub makes a clear distinction. The full article (available online at most news venues) gives a lot more distinctions. This was a major boo boo in terms of policework.

I wouldn't want to live in a world where this was acceptable, because I like someone having to prove I committed a crime before I am punished.

And here you are picky about men being intelligent and attractive!
Well, I guess we guys just need to start having really sexy legs?

Sadly, some people would want to be married to yonder woman on yonder poster in the background... with no regard to anything beyond looks. Morons... .....

You can never please everybody. Someone will always be unhappy.
Truth be told though... government is more touchy than many subjects. The good news is, if you really don't like the american way, you can move! Or, you can vote and try to change things. Or even run for office!
However, short of brainwashing everyone except the president, we will never have perfect agreement with any president. People aren't made that way!

Well, if they have only a name, and it doesn't exactly match, and it is not a know alias... they have nada. That's not reasonable for arresting someone.
Also, if they knew the name, it is VERY likely they had more information. However, I can't see arresting someone just because the name is close to the name of someone who commits a crime. That would be like saying I own the packaging company that just so happens to be in town with "my first and my last names, then packaging company" as it's name. It's not reasonable to assume that, although it might make you suspect it slightly. In my case, suspecting it would be wrong. I do not own that company, which does actually exist. Name association is just too weak of a link to arrest someone.
Heck, I'm live in the same town as that company! This was across state lines. It's too weak of a connection.

They would verify photo-id as I stated above. She would have a picture and/or description associated with her. This would have cast some doubt. Even if not, there is reasonable doubt for jail... so having her remain in the county would be good enough (and yes, she probably would have cooperated if asked I'm betting).

Appearance helps you catch someone's eye. However, it does not make for a strong and loving relationship. That hinges on personality. If the appearance factor is really big in a relationship... I'd say it needs time to grow still.
Not that you shouldn't like how a person looks... just realize that is something to compliment and enjoy, and not the reason for love.
All that aside, yes... each of the factors you mentioned does have an impact on my first perception of a person, and I do find that certain traits in appearance are more likely to spark my interest. I'm just saying that I'd never marry a woman just because she looked good!

Go outside, walk for 5 minutes in a given direction with a camera in hand. Take a photo. Now, add 2 random items to the scene when you paint it. You know, like a cluster of balloons and a sphinx. Just be creative and choose 2 fun things!
If you can't decide on what to add, just start looking around for something that catches your eye!

-Just a suggestion for a fun little project.

As similar as the names are... this should have been an easy catch. They had to have taken fingerprints. Those wouldn't have matched the suspect, and she should have been set loose then and there.
Furthermore, her identification should not have matched the suspect. The initial arrest might have been valid, but any time spent in jail, and not just at the local police station for identification, was a violation of her rights.
Sorry to say it, but this doesn't classify as a mistake. This classifies as negligence on the part of the police. A close or same name should in no way cause you to be locked up for 5 days.

Well, other than looking online, I suggest church and organized church events. Some churches have a good singles ministry. Others you may have to just get to know some people, and then if someone is interesting to you ask him if he's taken. Honestly, I know as a Christian guy it's a little ackward to talk about stuff like this in those kind of places... so make friends and go do stuff with them! I haven't found anyone doing that yet... but I know 6 couples who have. It may or may not work, just like looking online, or asking out the first stranger you meet at a supermarket. At least you will have an idea of who the person is if you are friends! Speaking of which, chat it up some here on the forums. There's gobs of fun people on here!
Finally, good on you taking your time to make sure you find the right person!

Single, picky, and proud of it! The picky part.

Sorry, I don't know at the moment. I could try phoning a friend in the area... but he's married and settled in... so he might not know.
Anyway, there's a bundle of us on the forums, and plenty of nice people around! Feel free to say hi, chat on the forums, etc. with the rest of us! We can usually help with boredom a bit.
Here's to hoping the guys who can't read leave you alone!!

Help wanted. I'm not sure what I need, but I surely need something!

I wonder who would offer help, and what kind of help!

You'd better add pancakes and eggs to the bacon if you want me to come over. Gah... I failed to make a timely exit once again!

Very nicely put. Actually, there is a lot in the bible that points to God wanting us to think and question things in this world. It's sad that there are so many misconceptions like blind faith!

I... uh... think I see em over there. *points* Yeah. *vanishes while the attention is focused elsewhere*.

In other words, goodnight for tonight.

Good luck to you! I hope you find one up there!
