Now I'm feeling sorry for all of us!

Honestly, this forum is making me feel better about how long it's been. I don't feel like such an oddball anymore.

For me I would like to go on a date to an arcade/amusement park. We would play a little pinball and some old arcade games like Asteroids, Pac Man, etc, etc, etc. Then we would ride the bumper cars. Then off to a game of Goofy Golf. Followed by dinner and dancing. What's a date? |

I'm actually considering asking the forum users to pick a man for me! Yep, I guess that says a lot about how I've done on dating sites.

If I could I'd give you a big hug! Honestly, you must be an incredible guy! Thank you! Yeah, I'm always the one to count on when someone needs help even if it's to my detriment. I have been taken advantage of more times then I can count. I have so many stories. When I was younger and naive I thought everybody was like that. After all, it seems most everybody says they'll help out others. But, I have yet, to find another, in my life's experiences, that's helped when I needed it. The common action seems to be duct and run. Then they return when I've solved my own problems. Typically, I then help them with something they are doing. The only solution, although sad, I have found to work is to isolate myself. Then nobody can take advantage of me. I understand exactly what you're saying. I am a nice person and I've been taken advantage of because of it and clearly you are too. For nice people? We can't crap on others because we can't in good conscious close our eyes at night from the guilt tearing our guts out. I simply tell myself that what goes around comes around. |

Shyness

Turns out my 'long lost love'.. is shy. Now I'm reading up on that.. try to help him out of that a bit, bring him out of his shyness (with me)..and I'm a believer in talking and saying what you want..so we'll see how that goes, lol.. I've already shocked him with my forthwardness.. I'm shy with men and I can tell you that for me it's all about trust. Once I'm comfortable and feel 'safe' I can let them see the real me. If I have any doubt whatsoever that 'he' isn't being honest with me? Playing a game? Not sincere? I'm long gone. Just allow him time to know that you're sincere and that you believe he's worth the effort and see what happens from there. As for the talking and saying what you want? Being shy doesn't mean we don't or won't. It just means we'll wait a little while before we do. |

How are you? |

sent me a message saying he would gladly swim the Ohio River just to hold my hand.
That was really sweet and very unique Loved it! Did it work? Did you date him? Or say "okay, I'll be waiting on the shore for you"? If he didn't do it, then it's meaningless air. If he didn't get a date, then it was pointless. ...That seems more important: "Most memorable first contact message? Good or Bad that actually worked to get a date or make you feel bad?" No, we didn't meet but that didn't make it meaningless air or pointless. If it wasn't for positive messages such as his I wouldn't be here still hoping to meet someone. |

First off, my dad was taking care of his parents. Then he got sick. So, I took care of him and his parents. Then my dad died. So, I moved them into my place. Then my mom got sick. So, I was taking care of her too. Then my mom died. Then inevitably my grandparents died. It was 5 years of hell. I lost any remaining innocence I had. The rest of my family provided zero help and either protested the Cremations or tried to steal stuff from my grandfather due to his Alzheimers. Needless to say I have zero communication with any of my family and I aim to keep it that way. My dad was my best friend and has not, nor ever will be, replaced. He was the only person I could totally trust. I will also appreciate and remember that. The ordeal of being the primary care giver, and dealing with the doctors, healthcare system, nurses, medicare, and hospice forever changed me for the worse. I was subjected to many things I never wanted to be subjected to. I stay clear of the health care system now when it comes to myself. I dread the day I need surgery of some kind. I'm not sure if I will go through with it or not. I'm sorry you not only lost loved ones, especially your Father, but that you had to go through such a heartbreaking experience. I believe that life will reward you many many times over for the good you did for your family. You were needed and you stood up and you did what had to be done. Yes, your heart was broken and it was a bad time in your life but you should be very proud of yourself. Not many people would have done what you did. If I could I'd give you a big hug! Honestly, you must be an incredible guy! |

I've had some very unpleasant things said to me too on several occasions. Called names, cussed out, etc. Things that I did not deserve and that aren't worth repeating. The thing is? I try and not let it bother me. Not easy sometimes but I do try because men like that are flat out pitiful.

When I was married, my ex would tell me an invisible, gaseous orb would EXIT my body. Strangely, it only happened after the earlier nights dinner consisted of red beans and rice or Mexican food. It must have really scared her.....I always awoke the following morning to her having moved to the couch at some point during the night..... I'm going to admit it. I fell over laughing at this one! |

I lost my Mom two years ago and I just got word, half hour ago, that my dad just passed away.R.I.P. I'm so sorry your Father has passed away and sincerely hope you have many wonderful memories you can treasure forever. "The song is ended but the melody lingers on..." Irving Berlin |

I live in Cincinnati and a gentleman in Northern KY sent me a message saying he would gladly swim the Ohio River just to hold my hand.
That was really sweet and very unique from most of the first contacts I've received. Loved it! |

Have to say I'm impressed by some of the people on this forum. So kind!

I hope the one i wind up with is Kind. That is my number one I think. As for fear...I am reckless and dont invest in fear unfortunately. At least not about finding a partner. I swoon and gush uncontrollably. You know what? It's kind of sad that kindness isn't a given and if you do find your one I hope they are. As for the no fear? I'm a little envious! |
