Is that you Rush?
Don’t interrupt.
Never honk at old people on the road, even when you’re in the right.
Excellent, hubby use to do that for me, we were married 33 years before he passed and some of those years were also excellent...we slow danced in the living room for all of our marriage if the music was right..he loved a back massage not a foot massage..
Once you learn to fake sincerity, you’ve got it made.
I once said something to a girl which must have been just what she wanted to hear. We were both working at a Summer retreat and lived next to each other.
First of all, she was probably the most attractive girl I have ever known. By attractive, I mean she attracted boys. She was very pretty but I have seen lots of girls who were prettier.
Watching her I was fascinated. I would wonder what is it she does? How does she attract them? One day I drove her to get some things as her car was giving trouble. I was a bit attracted to her myself but my wife had died not long before and I was also a lot older than her so I wasn’t even thinking of a relationship.
I was kidding her about something and not meaning too, insulted her. This made her mad and she showed it.
I looked at her and said something like. “Actually you attract boys like bees to honey. I don’t know what it is or how to define it but whatever it is, you have it”
From then on we were best friends. That fact that I was being both honest and accurate may have been one of the reasons she seemed to like the comment.
20 years experience with such a man...makes you tough
#1 - Be Like Laz.
Now the local public library sold baseball caps with the local library name on the front. Alas, the cap has become dilapidated. In it's condition it fits even better. I cannot stand to wear the Englishman's flat cap and will not- it was a present from her.
I still wear it, but some sort of new headgear is in the offing. She winces every time she goes out with me. Sometimes ya just can't win!
Where I grew up, it was "cool" to be "edgy." Bend the rules, so to speak.
No destructive stuff, but breaking curfew, flaunting the rules, the "rebel without a clue". He was good to have around to help me break out from under my parent's thumbs (they were extremely protective).
What ultimately ended our relationship was that I was a conservative at heart, and he was fast becoming a progressive. I grew up and returned to my core; he went down the moonbat path.
Then I found a rock solid conservative man to share my life and have been truly happy ever since.
“I have to disagree with you there. If you want something more then a short term relationship you should be her friend. You just shouldn’t be her “girl friend”. She has female friends for that (and if she doesn’t that is a major warning sign.)
But friend yes.”
That’s pretty much what I meant, not being her girlfriend. Friendship can grow from dating, but your approach should be romantic, not friends. It’s a different mindset.
There’s that term, the dreaded “friends zone”. That’s what I’m talking about.
Women don’t know what they want...this list is useless.
The only thing they always like is shopping.
BTTT.. will be back atcha here. Been gone most of day/night.. need sleep.
not true sweetheart... not true at all.
cant pigeonhole women any more than we should pigeonhole men..
probably not. (Laz is a cool guy but his MO is more of a turn off to gals, humorous but not a draw.}
bfl
ooooo....#2 bad...not good idea at all....
She gives her “advice” and you don’t take it....
bad, bad, bad...
Thank you for that. I’ve shared it with my daughters who are both a bit disillusioned right now about ever finding “the one”.
LMAO
Thanks, that was a bit helpful!
And we’re all fine, thanks for asking, and hope you are the same!
