Any Single Disney Men Out There?

[CoasterAddict]

Then get your two best single female friends and begin singing....

"matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match....."

Nah, I don't want to end up with some Communist revolutionary who's then going to get thrown in a Russian jail...might as well stay single.

Besides, as I posted earlier...my good friends seem to be plagued by the same syndrome I am...guys love our company, but put us into the "buddies" category quickly.

That would be OK if we then spent time getting to know each other better in order to move beyond that point. I do think that "friends first" is a good strategy. But "friends *only* seems to be what I find--or what finds me--and that's a little limiting.

So I guess the lesson for now is to be patient. And to read the posts carefully so that if the special guy ever does come into my life I know plenty of good places at WDW to make the most of the romantic situation...been thinking about the Lego store in a whole new way!

hmmm...not very helpful. And you're up late!

Yes, but I can be entertaining late at night as well as in the morning.

My best female friends, are suffering what I like to refer to as Noah's Ark Syndrome. They have all paired up...and think it time for me to be paired to as well (which I do)...but they of course don't know any single guys as I am the last of my friends to get married.

If I have to hear one more time..."if he wasn't seeing someone" I would fix you up with him.

This is why I like the boards and chat, I have only been doing this for a week or so, and have met a nice group of people and had some really great chats

...the resident "pro" came over, and for about 20 minutes, stood behind me while helping me bend my knees and hold the club right and hit the ball. I glace over to where the best friend is sitting, and her face is bright red, and I could tell she was trying really hard not to laugh. So after 20 minutes of this nonsense (he wasn't getting anywhere), he gave up and walked away. The best friend says, "Didn't you realize he was trying to pick you up?".

Wow. That's not the experience *I've* had learning to golf! Maybe I need to try a different driving range or a different teacher.

I'm so shy that I am also afraid of rejection. If I PM someone and they are not interested I would be upset and feel bad that I would stay away for awhile. The funny thing as friends I can talk and talk but I get very shy when it comes to dating. I think after being with my X for 12 years I am very out of practice. I'm great once I know someone but just have to get to that point.

I have trouble just chatting on dismates in the general room. I love when the conversation is on Disney because I can talk about that all day but I get real quiet when it's anything else.

I wonder if my ex thought of me as practice....

We live, we love and we learn....some of us are faster learners than others, but the goal, is to end up in the same place

Wow...2000th post is just around the corner.......who will it be now? Who will it be now?

Not me I am going to the country fair today to take in exotic scents, sounds and sights...

I'd rather try and fail than to not try and find out I would have won....

 

[Disneynut71]

enjoy the fair. I would love to go to something like that I hate being home. My grandmother mentioned to my dad last week that I haven't been over in awhile so I will stop by today. I love going to my grandma's but she has a chore list everytime I'm there.

Have fun at the fair and hey maybe the 2000th post can be saved until your return?

My biggest problem is I am very very shy. I am great as friends but it takes me awhile to move foward into talking to someone I am interested in which leaves me alone too much. One of my best friends told me they need to make a Disney Dating site and I couldn't believe when I found dismates. I called her yesterday to tell her she just kept telling me I knew it had to be out there.

Problem is I'm still very shy.

My boyfriend & I were talking about our first date because we are both super shy. You should have seen me on that date looking around at everything in the restaurant. Now we aren't the least bit shy around one another. When the time comes you'll stop being shy.

 

[Disneynut71]

Like I said once I know someone they shyness goes away but I always worry about what the other person is thinking. SO I keep quiet until I know them better

 

[mickeysbestfriend]

Just wondering if anyone else has had a magical experience while at WDW as a single person?

My first was when I went with my brothers in 1977 and then the last time I went alone, I ran into the same person again, almost 30 years later and we recognized each other. Who knows what is lurking in the shadows of life?

I have met a lot of great people while experiencing WDW as a Single. I have had other singles invite me to sit at their table in restaurants, spend a day running a park, meet for a drink at a hotel bar, experience a ride that I would not have gone on alone, shared a ride to or from the airport, wating in line with them and let loose my inner child. Did any of these turn out to be long term relationships? No, but it did make the hour, day or week a lot more fun!

And what happens if the guy is shy? We have two people who could be happy together not talking with each other...waiting for the other to send a "signal."

 

[Disneynut71]

I worry about that too. I'm trying which is why I go to the chat rooms and post on the threads so I can meet people and go from there.

I have always became friends and then if something happens I go from there. I am not so shy then.

And I'm not allowed to attend Catholic Church on Sundays as the Priest says that I murder the Mass. Also I do kill my cereal in the morning. But I do seem to get along on DisMates.

You know, everything you said applies to me too (except replace the 12 w/17...I was YOUNG)

 

[DisneydaveCT]

I moved to WA in '94, from W Hartford. I know where in CT you are because you told me on a Dismates chat...

Do you use the same s/n on Dismates? How did you end up relocating from West Hartford to the Pacific Northwest?

 

[dee47]

Obviously

I'm DisneyDee on DisMates. My ex (who wasn't my ex at the time) got at job with the Evil Empire. Now I never want to live anywhere else. It's so great here.

Which Evil Empire are you referring to?

Is this #2000...do I win the Disney Princess?
