Okay...I've called the Late Night DISers, now I'm calling the SINGLE DISers!

[DocRafiki]

Oh, I'm excited for Disney! We'll all be living vicariously through you, so reports asap, please!

And the next time you have the urge to go clothes shopping but know you don't need to spend your own money, go shopping for me! I am a fashion idiot these days, which really bothers me. When I didn't have money in high school & college, I could throw together some really cool stuff. Now that I have money, I have no clue what to do with it! And I hate even stepping foot into a clothes store, which doesn't help at all! (I spent <$400 on clothes in 2002. So trust me; that does not make for a cute wardrobe. )

There are so many posts here, I can't even fathom responding to them all. And I'm trying to limit my online time. So... I'll check with y'all later. I'll be looking for the Disney Date update (but hoping it doesn't come until tomorrow, for her sake).

Hi, Jen! Were your ears ringing? I was just thinking of you and you trying to stay away from the boards...except for us, of course! Yes, can't wait to hear Disney845's report!! Sure beats trip reports! LOL!

Well, I saw the cute UPS Store girl over the past few days. She either wears her hair in a ponytail or down. She looks so cute in a ponytail! When her hair is down, she looks so sultry! My knees are getting weak.

I would like to send her secret admirer flowers, but I'm afraid. I once wrote a love poem to a girl in a club newsletter. Well, it wasn't true love. When she read it, she stomped all around and kept on asking, "Who wrote this stupid poem? Who wrote this stupid poem?" I didn't say a word!

 

[Pin Wizard]

Well, flowers are always appreciated, Barry! I'm sure it would impress her and get her wondering.

 

[house_of_princesses]

Barry, instead of the secret admirerer approach, why not bring her a small, simple bouquet and thank her for her help she's been giving you. It let's her know you 'see' her, and gives you both an opening. If she walks through the door, great! If she doesn't, you've done nothing more than show appreciation to someone who assists you regularly. Just an idea..... what ever, where ever.....I'm pullin' for 'ya!!


Hmmmmm.....wonder how "date girl" is doing?

more princess dust, more princess dust, more princess dust..... (it's something I have a lot of around here!)

 

[floridaminnie]

Hmmm. that princess dust must of helped since we haven't heard from her yet!

 

[Pin Wizard]

Hmmm...any bets? Is she still there or is she home and sleeping in?

 

[legs22]

Does she have any stubble burn?

 

[Gina]

Well, I made it through the first few pages of this thread... I never did see any guys reply.

I'm one of those hates-being-single people... it's not that I can't, or that I need someone, it's simply that being single just feels very unnatural to me. Just... wrong. All I ever wanted to be was a wife and mother. I just chose the very wrong person to be wife to. But I adore being a mom.

But now, unless Mr. Right crashes his plane into my roof, I'm pretty doomed... LOL Of course, he has to be a Disney fan, and he also has to be an avid RPG'er. Only another EverQuest addict would understand if you told them, "Go out Saturday night?? Are you nuts?! My guild has a big raid that night!" And 99% of everyone totally did not get that just now... and that is why I'm single. It's not like there are tons of Mickey-crazy, EQ-addicted single 30-something guys roaming around Pearland, TX... LOL

But it stinks... but I won't -- can't -- compromise, either. Two people definitely need to have different interests in order to encourage each other to grow, but I learned the hard way that your main interests -- your true passions -- had darn well better match up, or you are in trouble.

But it's hard... especially when my little boy asks me, "When are we going to find a new daddy so I can have a baby brother or sister?" That twists the knife pretty hard...

I too don't think this is the best approach, even though I think it is totally sweet. I personally like a more direct approach - just tell her you would like to get to know her better and ask her if she would like to meet for coffee some time. Even if she doesn't like coffee, if she is interested in you, she will say yes. If men declare strong feelings for you before they even know you - or if they come on too strong - it definitely can scare a woman away.

One of the guys I went out with on match called up to five times a day before we even met! I should have known. I truly think after the first date this guy thought we were going to get married - because he was ready and I matched up to the superficial characteristics he was looking for. It had absolutely nothing to really do with me. We only went out twice before I caught on...

 

[TigerBear]

Hi Gina! I think we have met before - the Kemah meet several years ago? Good to see you around - I'm glad you joined us!

My ex used to do some RPGs so at least I know what you are talking about. I have never done them on the net, but when I was in college I was a huge fan of King's Quest and the like. I'll sound like a broken record to many, but have you thought about trying match.com? You might be able to find a man with similar interests that way, much easier at least than just randomly meeting him on the street.

Oh, we do have some guys with us, a couple from Alaska and Barry. Men! Did I forget anyone else? Oh the math guy, where are you??

 

[Gina]

Hi TigerBear! Yes, we met at Kemah! Wow, good memory. And my New Year's resolution is to be more active at the CB... I usually have my head buried in the cruise board all the time.

I have tried match.com, but didn't have much luck... I know I would have generated more response if I were more general in what I was seeking, but *shrug*

If they ever have an EQ FanFaire down here, maybe I'll meet someone.

Good to talk to you again!

Welcome, Gina! Don't let that knife twist too much. DS used to say the same thing. And he was specific in wanting a brother, not a sister! He said he would send a sister back...LOL! But now he's 10 years old and says he'll put the kabosh on any date I have!

 

[legs22]

Hi Gina and welcome

and he also has to be an avid RPG'er. Only another EverQuest addict would understand if you told them, "Go out Saturday night?? Are you nuts?! My guild has a big raid that night!" And 99% of everyone totally did not get that just now

I'm part of that 99%

 

[tmq2766]

It must have been a good date if we have not heard from her yet...... I am jealous.

I am giving cop cutie the benefit of the doubt until I hear why he has not called...... This is why I try not to get excited about things anymore.

 

[house_of_princesses]

Welcome, Gina!! I'm sure you'll find some friends here!

That knife does hurt at times, doesn't it? My 5 yo dd asked if we could go to the daddy store and get a new daddy, then she became insistent we go. She settled down quick with a hug, but it just about put me over the edge.

Oh, and include me in the 99%. But I'm anxious to change the odds and learn!

Yes it is tough sometimes. dd6 asks me when I am going to get married. (It does help to have a boyfriend first!) And she mentioned that she would like to have a Daddy that lived with her.
I don't think she realizes that XH and I were once married. She was only 2 when we divorced. She has never asked about divorce.

I too would wait to see what he says....


So, where is Disney?
