I send the first email if I feel like it.

depends. at some point, if you can you should meet in person. then you'll know if there is any real chemistry or not. until you meet and/or decide, keep seeing other people. why pass up some cool local guys for someone so far away?

I think honesty is best, even though I never get it.

ok, ummmm, musclehd do you ever make it to oklahoma? haha I saw your pics and. . . . Damn! You make me want to be "dominated"

To everyone else, especially the ladies, you gals know what I'm talking about. At least it's the one time of the year that I can buy a huge box of chocolate and not raise eyebrows since I may be buying it for someone else (I'm not.) haha

Russell Stover is the best!!!!

I was married for 15 yrs

ok, a couple of thoughts. I myself have been attracted to bad boys; they're fun. They aren't marriage material though, and when women are tired of just having fun, and are looking for a mate, they choose someone like you :) Also, why do you go for women that like bad boys when you know you aren't one? Do you like the chase? Trying to convince them to change their minds? Do you like a challenge? Someday, some woman will look at you and think "Wow! What a great guy!" That's the woman you want. It may not happen immediately, but it will happen. Sometimes, things happen when you're not looking for them.

I was walking through the store with my daughter the other night, and noticed all the rows of heart shaped boxes of chocolate, and was silently griping about how yet again, I'm alone for Valentine's Day this year, when it finally hit me. The REAL reason for all the chocolate the stores sell for Valentine's Day is so that women like me, who were raised that chocolate really does make it better, can buy themselves large quantities of it, without raising eyebrows, so we can console ourselves for not having men in our lives that not only love us but celebrate that fact on February 14th. Any thoughts?

too many swats, lol hmmmm, should I say? 37. who cares. I'm going to see my mom tomorrow but kinda wanting to go out and have something strong to drink too, lol.

any suggestions?

If someone stood me up and didn't call, he better not try to contact me again. Would you **** someone that is married?

sorry; I wasn't good in math, lol. the guy would be 66 or 6. Obviously I can't date a 6 year old. I think the better question is what is the biggest difference in age that you've dated? For me, I won't go below 24 usually - not enough experience in several areas. I won't go above 40 usually, but it depends on the guy.

It depends on your age. For me, since I'm 36, that would make the guy either 66 or 16, either is bad. I don't want to go to jail, and I don't want to date my grandpa.

I could write a book about all the strange dates I've had.

not sure what you mean by real country girl, Sassie, but you're a rarety. I think for me, it's my way of avoiding what will inevitably be a frustration, since men don't usually understand and won't try to do anything but "fix" the problem, instead of listening and being thoughtful, which is what I think most women really want.

I have to agree with the others. A good book to try is "he's just not that into you . . . your daily wake-up call" written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo.

check it out.

If he hasn't called, you're not on his mind. Move on.

what kind of baby food are you giving your child? if this is the first baby food she is getting, you should start out with something like bananas. Not vegetables or meats. WIC has a chart they hand out that tells you what kind of food babies can have and when. actually, of the jarred food, start with bananas. You can also give your baby some dry/instant baby cereal, mixed with a little bit of formula and bananas.

completely agree :)

I think you can indeed be solely physically attracted to someone, and as long as they keep up their appearance, it's good. But for me, what really gets me going is both. Someone with more between the ears than alcohol and women, and someone who knows how to turn a phrase, as well as someone sexy (at least to me, what I think is sexy)

25 in NOT enough . . . duh!!!

You Are a Log Ride
You prefer to live a fairly calm, relaxed life... with a few surprises thrown in.
You don't tend to get yourself worked up easily. You can roll with what life throws at you.
In relationships, you are steady and solid. You maintain a pretty broad perspective on what's going on.
That's not to say you can't get swept away. You're emotions run as deep as anyone else's.

Your life seems like it has been remarkably easy so far. But that's due to how you manage it.
You never stretch yourself too thinly, and you think out your decisions carefully.
Taking the time to enjoy each day is important to you, and you don't let your emotions rule you.
You stay the course and do what's right... knowing it will all work out in the end.

At your best, you are tolerant and understanding of other people's quirks.
You take "go with the flow" to the extreme. Even if you don't like where you're going.
At your worst, you repress your feelings and end up being a little tightly wound.
You definitely have some explosive emotions that occasionally come to the surface!
