How's Your Love Life?


As to romance, well I haven't got any right now. There were a couple of guys at my last job who seemed interested. There's one I still see around town. He seems upset that I quit though. Maybe he'll get over it.
On line, there's a guy I talk with, but when you've never met, it can't be real. At least not yet.
To this date, 115 men have said, either "I love you or I want to marry you." Most of them were from the Internet. Kinda makes me doubt the sincerity of men or wonder where all the good ones are. Anyway, how's your love life?

don't we test drive cars before we buy them... test drive a few if that suits... one may drive really well.

Touch, Always the salesman, lol!
Go, Watch that tongue! tee hee
EZ, that's an option. He's already said that seeing his little nephews and nieces is starting to make him want to have some. Wow! That's exactly what almost every woman wants to hear, lol!
Mi, don't get so caught up in work that you don't ask women out. If you get shot down, just ask two more.

Mydog no complaints here.also when i ask someone out it is only after i sort of know this person for awhile,no cold calls.Being i work in a job that is male dominated ,i only meet women outside of work,when i have time to take a class ,the energy to ake someone out and the money.getting all of these components together is rare.also i ask a woman out once,for a first date,any more would be a degrading of myself,so I accept a "NO" and move on.At middle age I have just started really learning to enjoy my life,so i don't put much interest into things that aren't enjoyable to me(dating).At the times when I've been "shot down" I have always taken a modicum of time(say 6 months or a year) to analyze the situation while rebuilding the plane,and learn whatever i can from it.enough said.You mean that 115 guys wanted to marry you??and you told all of them no??why??

mi,
about half said that they loved me and the other half said that they wanted to marry me without saying they loved me. Odd that they either said one or the other, but not both. Anyway, why would I tell someone that I didn't really know that I loved them back or wanted to marry them? I'd never even met them. And I couldn't marry all fifty, lol. One would be a pain in the butt enough.

smally, I guess it's everything if you believe it is, otherwise it is just an ornament.

Lil, I agree. I think they become hooked on this thing and just throw the word "love" around because they don't think the Internet is real. You do have to meet in person to see if there really is anything there or not.

I guess for me, I was in the right place at the right time. I met my lover online, right here on AFF, 5 month's ago. I am in Hawaii and he is in London. We met in Vegas and had 5 g8 days/night tg...just the two of us. It was g8 and we look forward to our next adventure. I wish I met him 20 years ago then I wouldn't be here 2day. To date, we still keep in touch daily, whether by fone or email. We plan to meet again in person very soon and we are both looking forward to this reunion. Online relationships can work, but it is hard. Both must have trust, commitment, open commuication and we also have to be loyal to one another, which we both have been. I hope you can find someone...someone who will make you happy, tell you they love you and ask for your hand in marriage. I must admit I am lucky to be have and be a special part of my online lovers life. He is a huge part of mine and I LOVE HIM wholeheartedly!

Best of luck to you, whatever your search may be. Take care.

Aloha,

Azn Hawaii Girl

AznHIGirl,
Wow that is good. You must miss him now though. It's best to have another date in mind to meet to keep it going. Even if it is months from now, you at least have can look forward to seeing him then.
I am trying to look in my local area now. There are a couple of guys at my gym that like me. One I like back. He's one of those guys with really long eyelashes. So cool. I used to work with him. He would stare at me from his math class into my English class. He never said anything and I'd go and close the door. Ha!!!! That's me. Anyway, now he's been talking to me so at least that's a start.
I'd asked him if he wanted to come for coffee with me and my friend. He declined, but the very next time I saw him, he made it a point to talk with me again. Maybe he did that to get back at me for closing the door on him, LOL! I'm so ornery.
