Yes, a bear cub on a trail in Yellowston. I never moved so fast getting away from it either. Haha!
Have you ever been scared of snakes? |

Your most tender memory

Childhood summer mornings waking up to the sound of Mom’s humming little ditties as she hung the laundry on the line. I would lay there for a few minutes before getting up just to enjoying the cool mimosa scented breeze floating in the window. I wish I could get that mimosa scent on my clothes still today.

Whats with the fascination of the disaster date? Morbid curiosity? A need to classify your own failures against others? Seriously, I don't get it? While I have had my fair share of date failures what makes it alluring for me to share those experiences with strangers? Do you use it to gauge how messed up your dates were to mine? Why, seriously, why would that matter? Wouldn't it be more helpful to request I share the successes? That we all might learn what works rather than what doesn't work? This all fits nicely with my discipline that negative results in negative. People are focused on the negative aspects in life rather than the positive. When you seek negative, all you find is negative. What about my story is negative? Most people I know look back at these kinds of things and laugh. |

Share your worse date story.
I sat and waited, and she never showed up. That's the "worse." I like "disaster" dates. I may not get a mate, but I get a story, and I get options and information. That’s just rude! But what a good attitude to have about it! |

Hello Jan I had to endure the heat inside a car while it was being pushed and also another time, with the same guy a bus behind us bumped the same car. I hit my head on the windshield good thing I was wearing a seat belt. I married that guy. I should’ve paid attention to the signs lol Haha! I didn’t marry my bad date story, but we did date for awhile. Always late and quite the klutz, but a really nice guy. |

I spoke to an old friend today who reminded me of a hysterically disastrous date I had in my early 20s.
It made me think the theme might make a good sharing thread. ******************************************************************************** My.story begins with me sitting at a crowded bar alone for 30 minutes waiting for the guy to show up. Just as I was leaving, I literally bumped into him as he was walking in the door. We went somewhere else for dinner and his car ran out of gas on the way there. We were only 1/4 mile from the restaurant, so were able to pull into a parking spot on the street and walked. We were still late for the reservation and ended up eating at at the crowded bar, where we couldn’t speak at all over the noise, while waiting for a friend of his to bring a gas can. When we got back to his car and got it running, we went for ice cream at a Baskin Robins near a park, where we sat on a park bench to eat our cones. He leaned in to say something and the top scoop of his cone fell onto my lap. We did have a nice talk on that park bench in the end. And it was a beautiful summer night. And he even got me home without insident. Haha! He called the next day asking if I’d like a do-over, and I agreed. On our next date, he banged a guy’s bumper parallel parking near the theatre. Haha! ****************************************************************************** Who will share theirs? |

I think love finds you. All you can do is be open to it and willing to take the risk when it does.

Have you ever waited in line all day for anything? |

Of course. Lol. It’s challenging enough to be me. No desire to be someone else. Have you ever given something sacrificially but anonymously and realized that it feels amazing? Yes. I became addicted to it. Have you ever spent the day in pajamas when you weren’t sick or injured? |

Be yourself when meeting new women and eventually you will find a spark with one.

Personally, I’m attracted to profiles that are half informative and half humorous, without cheesy pickup lines. I like a clean and natural picture without the flexing muscle “look at me” hype. Pictures of men in their natural element speak to me more than staged poses do.

Ohhh.. snap !..that's what I did wrong.. .. I was supposed to keep the passion burning brightly throughout the relationship... not just for the first year....hmmmmm..... I figured once I got a ring on her finger... and showed her how I like her to run my house.... I wouldn't have to do... the romance thing anymore.. You know!! take her out for dinner show her a good time.. make her feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.. Keep myself looking good feeling good smelling good... so visually she's attracted to me.. help out with the day-to-day running in the house.. so we both have a little energy for play time.... Put her needs before my own.... Dang it I knew I was doing something wrong.... I'm such a selfish bastard... Lol I certainly wasn’t meaning to offend anyone by sharing my own shortcomings and solutions in my own relationship. |

According to the writers of "Must Love Dogs", "athletic" is code for flat chested and "a few pounds" is code for obese. If that's true for even some of us, the description wouldn't really help anyway. Besides, the menu of options provided are vague. If you choose you don't want kids, could tell someone you hate kids, or simply that you love them, but are done raising them at this point. You can't tell how people might take the answers you do provide. Oh Em Gee! I'm flat chested? Crap! Now I gotta go get a moob enlargement. I guess so. Haha! |

My husband and I were together for 30 years and married for 23 of those. Love was always a constant, but not so much our intimacy. Life and stresses can alter one or both of your desires for the physical.
It’s when one of you cools that the other will suffer. I never took his desire cooling personally because I realized there were times I was the cooled one when he was still eager for physical attention. I would say those times will pass, but don’t know that, because I never waited for them to pass. I would try to seduce my husband when he got like that and would tell him I needed to be seduced when it was me. In young relationships, we’re automatically seducing one another. Life gets in the way of taking time for seduction. It takes time to get back in the habit of seducing what you begin to feel should be a “sure thing”. But intimacy is never a “sure thing”. We all still need to feel the kind of desire we had in the beginning sometimes. |

You can't tell how people might take the answers you do provide. True but not all are here to date. This is a dating and social site. Members shouldn't have to provide answers. I make it clear in my profile and still get people asking me Just bypass them. This site should never force people to answer I don't think the site should force people either. I changed my mind about dating here, at least for now...no offense to the nice people on the forums...and am also still getting asked to meet. I don't think most read profiles anyway. Nice to know I'm not alone, Yellowrose. |
