Do you make and have plans you follow?

I have a short range plan (1 year), mid-range (3 to 5 years) and long range (8 years) plan which I am following.

So I will most likely be solo this time frame. Do you stick to your plans knowing it could make you lonely? Just curious.

Nope.
Don't like to be locked into anything.
Although.
I do plan to win the lottery.

Soufie, I can't hit the lottery until you do....so hurry and win the darn thing

About that plans and the lottery thingie.

I plan on paying off as many bills as I can when I win the Power Ball lottery, bad news is, I'll still be broke.

Yes, I have used 1, 3 and 5 year plans before. I mainly did that after my divorce to help me figure out a life for myself. I had been doing what the ex wanted for so long that I didn't even know what kind of a life I wanted. I had no goals or plans or dreams.

So, I used the long term planning and it helped. I changed it a lot as I went along. One of those goals was to get a washer and dryer in my apartment by the end of 2011 DONE!

I have plans to see friends tonight and tomorrow. Beyond that, I don't have plans for the rest of the week.

I have plans to find a new job, but there can't really be a timeframe set for that.

I can't say that I've ever made plans knowing it would make me lonely. I can't imagine wanting to do that.

It's very hard for me to make too many specific plans because of my health. I can be fine for quite a while and then....sick.

I go back to school next week.

In the Fall, I am taking a certificate course that will look good on my resume.

In the Spring, I throwing myself into Business Information and Art History AND I am taking Spanish. I plan to get my degrees in BI and AH and take enough Spanish pass a bilingual test for work. This all is going to take several years.

I am seeing someone and that may change my personal life depending where it goes. But he is not the type to stand in the way of my education.

I need to start writing articles again.

My fitness goals for myself are to start power walking every morning and when the condo is back to normal doing my yoga and strength training.

I also need to get back into the Dojo.

I plan to die...can't get around that one....so might as well fit it into the plan.....
Until then.........
I plan to enjoy each new day to the limit....
On the....Edge!!!!

I try real hard not to look that far into the future so I'm using the one, three and five minute plans. It's worked well so far for me. Uh, time to pee. Right on schedule.

Well I have to live very very frugal and save money to buy 2 houses, 3 if I want one, and I don't expect another person to put up with that. I'll make it, just 10 years down the road if things go well.

So you're assuming that will make you lonely? Just be honest with the person. Perhaps you'll find someone who doesn't mind doing free/cheap things.

So far ALL the women I have met:

#1 - What's your income/job?
#2 - Have a car?
#3 - Travel to meet me?

So I'm meeting the wrong type I take it?

Some women are looking for someone to take care of them. Some of us are just very wary after meeting guys here that wanted to be taken care of. Most women here just want to make sure you can take care of yourself.

I have not really met anyone online yet. College is firing up and I won't have any time for online dating, so it's back to the library/grocery store/mall for me, when I have business there.

I've never asked someone's income. If I ask about their job, it's because I'm interested in finding out more about them.

Yes, I would want someone to have a car, as I do not want to be driving around someone all the time.

I've had dates come meet me in my city and I've gone to meet them in theirs. Just depends on what we plan on doing.

Maybe you need to be more specific and upfront about what you're looking for and expect?

Haven't given it much thought, considering my situation. Let me get back on that in 8 years or so!

But you gave it enough thought to assume women asking you those things were looking for you to take care of them? Interesting.

Well, good luck with your multiple year plan. Don't forget to actually have fun, too!

TY. I have fun when not in college, but during it I have to keep the nose to the grindstone.
