It is so comforting to know some people who would gladly burn me for my less than conventional, more heretic than strictly Christian/Catholic beliefs are not in position to do so.

I agree with Manskirt on this one:" Sex should not be something that is tested just because you went out two or three times."

Marriage is a commitment. One doesn't need a ceremony to show the world s/he is in such a relationship. Just living it is enough. There is no need to show anything to the whole world.

I have seen many common low relationships based on mutual respect and trust. I have also seen those who call themselves Christian preaching others about morality and what not, while not living what they preach.

I have come to a conclusion that traditional marriage is the not the only right way.

So, please, live your own life and let others live theirs. If you can't resist an urge to burn something after reading my comment, may I suggest a barbeque?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!
and the best of luck with your quest!

I think you made a smart choice - better alone than with a wrong person.

Thanks for posting it. I loved it!

Miss my mom too ...

(((HUGS))))

Some kids cartoon character maybe? Why not just ask the kids about their favorite cartoons and they might give you an idea?

OK, OK ...

How do you read forums without looking, unless you are using text-t0-speech?

So true!

Now, let me say I am nice.

Thanks. The best of luck to you too.

Welcome to Mingle. Good luck with your quest.

Yes it is hard to find what you are looking for.

I often asked myself same questions you did.

I have come to a conclusion there is nothing wrong with me just because I am willing to take time to get to know someone, let the relationship take its course and expect the same from the other side.

If it's meant to be it will happen, but I am not frustrated because of not finding a soul mate as I used to be.

Companionship is fine, too. If it turns into a friendship or more, even better.

I am not willing to be something I am not in order to be accepted by someone, especially in a serious relationship. So, those who would just waste my time get no reply.

You might be wrong because those of us who do not like texting learn to use those abbreviations to send and/or reply to the messages and keep going on with their lives, in order not to waste time on texting.

I'll use 2 instead of two, but prefer to have a normal call and TALK less often, rather than exchange those messages.
Why even talk too long If we can meet, not every day, but as often as possible?

That's what I tell my friends all the time, but it's useless, since almost everyone switched to texting these days.

I don't like it. Old fashioned...what can I do?

Welcome to Mingle. I wish you to find what you are looking for.

I am not here for the same reasons you are. My taste is pretty much like dcastelmissy's.
However, I appreciate being upfront and clear about what you are looking for and calling it what it is - an intimate encounter, not a date, friendship or relationship.

Do you mean If enough ladies want one night stands, why waste time on relationships?

Hmmm... if I only knew that address...
JUST KIDDING!!!!

Welcome to Mingle!

I loved this one the most:




Thanks for posting your art-work and keep creating!

Great! Now I am thinking of buying this T-shirt.



, making it a main photo in my profile and then posting on one topic. Won't tell which one, so do not ask!

Double post!

RATING

There is a nice photo, no "ask me" or "no answer" replies, you simply and clearly expressed yourself and explained what you are looking for. Thumb up and good luck with your quest!

Would you be so kind to rate my profile now? Thanks in advance!
