Hmm, what planet do you live on?

Short, thin, brunette. These aren't conscious choices—they just seem to be what I'm attracted to. I'm sure if the right woman came along (regardless if she was short, thin or brunette) this could change, but it hasn't happened yet.



Lady-like qualities (kind smile, listens attentively, pleasant, demure, etc.). I see too many women these days who are tough, cold, comatose and indifferent and it makes me wonder, 'What happened to all those lovely feminine qualities?'



Having a woman try to impress me would be refreshing. So often the guy has to do all the work and that gets old. It would be nice to have a woman expend some energy on me for once.

Hahahhaaaa....ohlololol....oh man....whew....thanks, I needed a laugh this morning.

Why? Did you send me an email? lol

LOL...really. Just like a woman to make a post like this, then not respond.

I've made it known to her how I feel. Now it's up to her to make the next move. If she doesn't, then I just move on.

Aw, what a nice compliment. Thanks. We do still talk—on the phone, through Facebook and text messages. I've come to know some things about her and one of them is she isn't overly romantic. She's even mentioned this a few times and said that it's been so long for her being with a man that she's not sure what to do. She was married for 25 years (got divorced four years ago), has five kids and a full life (job, raising the kids, involved in local plays, etc.)

She's so busy she hardly has time for herself, let alone a man. So I can understand and sympathize with what she's going through. I'm sure the non-responsiveness is all part of her busy life and lack of any romantic elements she has had. It takes a lot of time and energy to raise kids, and she has five of them. Plus she's had to do everything herself, because there's no longer a man in her life to help.

Amen to that :)




Yes, we do struggle every day with sin, but that doesn't mean we should give in to lusts and temptations just because we are human.

"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)

We may have temptations, lusts and all manner of fleshly woes, but we who are saved have been given the mind of Christ and the Spirit who intercedes on our behalf with the Father. With these blessings and His strength we can overcome anything—if we chose to do so.

The bible is pretty clear on what fornication is, but still people (even professing believers) can and will do what they want. That is their choice and they alone have to answer to God for those choices. Just because we are human doesn't mean we should do as humans do—Jesus calls us out to walk separately from the world, so we can be an example—a Light—among men.

Kind of hard to shine like a Light if you're behaving just like the rest of the world.

Don't ask. Do.

True. I'm not sure what's going on with her, but obviously she's keeping herself at a distance. I'll respect that and in the meantime we can still be friends.

Because anyone would like to know if the other person enjoyed being with them. I did call and tell her I had a great time the next day. The only thing she said was that her daughter had to go away for the day and she was feeling lonely. So she said, "I must miss you, too."

Not the greatest compliment, but better than nothing.

What's even more interesting to note, other than the above scriptures we've been discussing, are the scriptures that follow....

"Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife." (1 Corinthians 7:10-11)

I can't tell you how many people I know (believers even) who have not followed these scriptures, but have divorced and married again—sometimes more than once. This is just another instance of people doing what they want (instead of what God wants).

What's important here is not how we feel or think or what opinions or views we have, but that we follow what God has told us to do. He didn't tell us these things to make our lives difficult, but to make them better.

I remember the first time I read this in the bible. It was right after I was born again. Reading this it seemed to me that God preferred you be alone, because then it would be easier to serve Him without all the hassles that come with being with another person, but then if you couldn't control yourself He was giving us another option—marriage.

So, for me, it seemed marriage was just an alternative choice that God was offering us, as opposed to burning in lust and falling into sin. However, the more preferred choice was being alone, like Paul was.

I feel for people who are overweight, because I know what a struggle that can be. It isn't always women who struggle with the weight thing. I used to be heavier than I am now. I lost about eighty pounds, because I finally got tired of it and started exercising regularly. You have to keep at it. It's all about willpower.

I've had experience with the very first one so often that now I just tell women, 'Look...I have many talents, but ESP isn't one of them.'

It's suppose to be humorous. You know, ha-ha...funny.

LOL...ain't that the truth.

This is how me and my gal say good morning to each other—before we're awake, lol.
