I'll have to make do with a nearby lake. Maybe I'll be able to make my way there Sunday.

Awesome Penny!

But now I want to go to the beach so bad!

I agree. I'm a chicken when it comes to saying it. I'll try to convey it in every way possible without saying it until I think he already knows and accepts it...and returns it.

Common....you KNOW that's not always true Goof!

She most certainly will want you to KEEP that thing you got on that last "guys" weekend all to yourself.

Sweetestgirl is way ahead of you. Page 2 David.

OH...D5? YOU SANK MY BATTLESHIP!

This is so PG-13

Marriage or long term relationship?

Yes?

If I ever get married, I like to think that it's a long term plan for BOTH of us.

Why? I very much believe in exchanging vows in a setting that is sacred to us both.

I have no time frame for too long or not long enough before getting married. I simply won't consider marriage unless I feel it's not our vows that will keep us together, but the fact that we would choose one another every day for the rest of our lives.

For wedding bands, I prefer the idea of finding something that matches the personality of the people and the relationship.

I don't want a big gaudy relationship...so wouldn't want a big gaudy ring either.

That may work for some, but personally, I'm gonna want him in my bed. I'm just selfish that way.

Thankfully, I don't snore or toss and turn andcan sleep through just about anything, so if he takes over the guest room...we have problems.

I had the flying dream a lot when I was a child. It was such an incredible feeling, that I always looked forward to having it again. I used to try to imagine flying as I drifted to sleep and sometimes it actually worked. I stopped having my flying dream when I was a teenager, but had a couple of short periods were it would come back a few times in my early twenties. I think it was ever better then, because of how long it had been since I had flown.


Ironically, I have a bit of a fear of flying in an airplane, but seemed to be perfectly fine about doing it without one.

This ^^^^

But I'll want a beer or two while watching the game too. I don't see the problem with that, but if he's not comfortable with that, I'll use the Pepsi koozie if it makes him feel any better.

I wish I could do it all over again...and again...and again. And I would do it differently every single time. Not because I don't like how it's turned out so far this time around, but because I have more interests than I can dedicate the time I would like to to each one in one lifetime.

Next time around, I think I would concentrate my efforts on scuba diving and become an awesome attorney.

The time after that, I would make time to join archeological digs in Egypt during the summer semester off of being a history professor.

I could go on and on, because the possibilities would be endless if we could only do it again.

UGH!

I've posted pictures in my profile that were taken 5-7 years ago, but when they were on my profile, so is a recent pic too.

I guess I'm counting on Minglers to rationalize that the pictures I look a bit older in...are the more recent ones.

But if anyone knows how to age backwards...I could be interested.

Hiya Willow.

Your health is so much more important than any of that crap anyway. I hope your health is good now.

My best friend has always been a super hot stud in my book, but women never seemed to notice him. Two "get fit or die trying" years and 50lbs later, he had two women lusting after him that he's had crushes on in the past...but who'd never gave him a second thought before he grew a six pac and big guns.

This leaves him with the fear that he has bad taste in women....cause he really really liked both of those gals.

So he collects phone numbers he never calls.

No. I also need attraction. I can love someone I feel no romantic attraction to. If I tried having a romantic relationship with them I doubt I would be fully satisfied. Personally, I need both, and feel they deserve both too.

If these particular women were so smart, it seems to me they would have known the difference between a man who truly cares for them and one who sees them lusting after them and says the magic word that made their panties disappear.

So, at least I agree with the above quote for some.

A woman who is turned off by your child...you don't want around your child anyway.

I think they get you something! I think most women think of every romantic gesture their man ever made. So, he's gonna get a replay of the night he brought her flowers two months ago....compliments of Lifetime.

It's really nice that you two were really there for each other like that. I like to think that's what people do when they care about one another. Awwww!
