Amen to that warhead (Army guy myself)

Isn't spam fun?

Um... 8. I'm so popular!

Haha, I don't think I've ever cooked corn dogs in an oven... Can't you
microwave them? Kinda hard to burn that way...

Hmm, not quite sure how I feel about meeting someone off the internet.
I have to say I'm skeptical, but I'm also a big risk taker. I think if
I found the person interesting enough in chatting for a bit, I might
consider meeting. I've met with a couple people through myspace.
Although we didn't really hit it off, nothing creepy happened, and I
made a couple new friends. As far as traveling a long distance to meet
someone I talked to online, I probably wouldn't unless I had planned to
go to that area anyway. Being in the military and somewhat of a thrill
seeker, I do tend to travel a bit.

For me, my headline says it all... "Why not?". I have no trouble dating
outside of the internet, but havn't found anything that stuck... so I
figured why not give this new fad a try.

Maybe it's just me, but the first place I came when I joined this site
was the forum. What better, and more comfortable place to meet people
than in a community environment?

I wouldn't say "show indifference", but yeah, coming off as desperate is
usually a bad idea...

<-- The complete opposite of shy.

Flirting is harmless and fun. The whole idea of flirting is to make the
person you're talking to smile or laugh, or just happy in general.
Flirting opens the person up to feel more comfortable with talking to
you. I'm a huge flirt, but I don't have the intention of trying to
"hook up" with every woman I flirt with, it's just a good way to break
the ice and have a friendly conversation with someone... it's what comes
after the flirting that determines where you'll go with someone...
That's just me though, don't know if it's the same for everyone.

MsTeddyBear2u was the first person to welcome me here...that was nice

I'll get back to ya on that one.

I just got here last night, give me some time :P

Morning? I just got off work, been up since 0430... Oh well, good
morning anyway

I agree with oceans, I would interpret it as being a "nervous laugh".
Especially during an otherwise serious conversation, or something that
may be hard for that person to say.

hips, lips, and eyes... can't pick a favorite

Why give them up? There's always room for compromise. If they're
allergic, maybe they can take medication for it, or the pet can be moved
outdoors or to a friend/family member's house where you can still see
your pet. If they're just stubborn and don't want the animal around,
then I'd say that's a big red flag as far as how well other compromises
will go in your relationship...

I also agree with newg, but I'd like to add;

It's not important if one, or even many people think you're "Ugly", to
someone in the world I guarantee everyone can be beautiful... However,
how you see your self plays a very big role. Low self esteem can be a
turn off for a lot of people, so that someone who considers themselves
ugly, will eventually look ugly to the onlooker as well. All you can do
is be proud of who you are, and take pride in taking care of yourself
and your appearance, it's just a matter of time until you find the
person who finds you to be the most attractive person they've laid eyes
on.
