after reading this thread i feel like i'd rather date rob or !@#$%! than phoenix or knox

:?

why limit yrself to just one? I'm sure that they both want to pound yr ass.

and by both, I mean, Big Gay Rob and El Pito Loco.

He's the romantic type that's why flotz.

fine with me

sounds about right Nefeli, especially the many interests and friends. One of the on going problems when I was married is my wife had the friends but not the interests so she stayed home alot while I went out a couple of times a week to play sports and drink with guys. I tried my hardest to get her interested in something but no go. Now we're divorced she goes knitting once a week goes to the gym for yoga and a swim. All things I tried to get her interested in. ahaha

well that says something doesn't it.

No, you are 1000 steps ahead of most people. The reason I am so weary of relationships is exactly because I don't want it to be the only point of existing for both of us, because, at least for myself, it would be a lie. That said, I still believe in the fact that if you meet the right person most things work out nicely. I just don't happen to have that many good examples around me. I'll explain better to you tomorrow.

I don't think I would want someone that is very busy. I've had friends in relationships that, practically speaking, were comparable to pen pals sharing the same apartment.

a great relationship, true love, is overwhelming to near anything else you may want to do in life.

but it is worth it.

anyplace you can meet girls who are smart and like sonic youth, is a great place.

Lunatic asylums?! :D

not really should just be complimentary to who you are when not with the object of your affections.......

best place to meet women? Large bookstores or record stores. They will be browsing right in the same areas you are there to visit.

Also, concerts and art shows/galleries, again, they're there for the same reasons you are.........

shoulda coulda woulda

lots of things SHOULD be, but they rarely are.

pobrecito !

hhhmmm let me see, date worthy? bus station!

I've never quite understood the idea that galleries or book shops are great places to meet people. They're great places to see people you might like to go out with but the step from seeing a woman flicking through a book or looking at a painting that I like to trying to start a conversation with her about it seems like a very difficult and unnatural step to take, at least for me.

A very fair point, I can only concur. Too bad not too many people think this way.

yes, but not necessarily. my girlfriend for example, doesn't have as huge amount of friends as I happen to have, but her small group of friends are really REALLY close to her and can be more valuable than rather shallow friendships that most of mine are. she's not that type of a person who hangs around much and doesn't have that kind of a job that I have that involves being in contact with people a lot.

Yeah, in my previous relationship I used to have to see his friends more than he liked to see mine. He always tried to find an excuse, and I think deep down it is because I do know some really smart people, which is bound to intimidate your other half, if they are insecure. It's all about quality, though, not quantity. Also, often someone who seems like a confident social animal can easily turn out to be a pussy, and rubbish in bed. Talking from experience only, I understand there are not rules as such for that sort of thing. Anyway, what I meant to explain with that post is that I can't deal with someone who makes me their only object of desire, it is too boring like that. Someone who has interests and goals of their own is cool. Chillax 'n all that.

I'd like to say....we're human beings.
