Karona, when given the opportunity you have to go fo rit, same with you newly.

I did the eye contact and all last night, a smile return. Their league all went into the lounge last night after league, I would have followed, but grandson with me and didn't think it would be cool to let my grandson sit in the truck.

But one of the ladies we where bowling against knew his buddy who also doesn't have a ring on and it's a mixed doubles league and neither of these two have a partner with the same last name on their teams.

So will try next week, if I don't pick up something better before then!!!!! Yeah right!!!!!

Dawn

It's the last day of school for me Yipppppeeeee!!!!
I am the ISS Lady and believe it or not I have one student assigned to me!

newly, Definitely go ~ you can always find time to stay home in your suburban life not meeting anyone!

Hi K! Do you know this guy? Has he expressed interest in you? Why did your friend slip you his e-mail, other than that he's single? Do you have mutual interests? I'm asking because maybe the answers would give you something to talk about when you break the ice.

Here's an update that you might relate to... Last week, Mr12Wks told mutual friend he had more fun with me and SF was better, but he's making the best of it with W...

I've been out on 3 1st dates with guys I met on line since then, but either I wasn't interested, or they weren't - I've currently cancelled my on-line memberships (too $$). I don't sit home, but I haven't met anyone either. Tonight is the 1st weekend of jazz on the lake, so I'm going out on the party barge with friends and on a hike in the high country on Sunday.

What fun plans does everyone have for the holiday weekend?

what, you mean karona can't email and say "hi! my name is karona. our mutual friend so and so thought maybe you could show me the difference between a nail and a screw. think you can help me out? lets meet in the parking lot of lowes!"

hehe

just kidding of course karona!
mlhb

Sounds like something is working your way DB!
Mixed league, could be fun! Keep the smiles goin!!

LT~~
I can relate. Mr 5 is rarely seen with his female of choice. It's been a year since that whole thing. I've also had 3 one date wonders, but they didn't work for me. I also let my subs. expire.
I don't know if the info you've been given is a + or -.
Either way, his missed the boat when it came to you! His loss!!
Enjoy the jazz and the boat. Sounds like a great time.

As far as this guy is concerned, I know nothing about him, and I don't think he knows much about me. I did ask mutual friend if he was expecting to hear from me, and he said yes!
It was my friends H and another guy talking, this guys [potential date] name came up and my friend says, I have a friend......
At some point, the guy was contacted and the info given to give to me. My friend didn't want to give my #, so left it up to me.
I guess he's tall [big +], guy friend says, nice looking, coming from a guy, was in some branch of the service, and works with tools!! Woohooooo! Seriously, that's about the extent of what I know.

MLHB~~ think I'll leave the N&S out for the time being. HaHa

I have not done anything, yet.

K!

Karona,

He works with tools? That's a plus!! LOL I'm sure he can help you differentiate between nails & screws.

K, please contact him. We need some drama on these boards.
If you don't want him, send him my way. Tall and military work for me.

LetSTry, I also just canceled my memberships. I haven't gotten any contact in months, so why bother. I will meet people else where.

This weekend is my church festival, and I'll be working all weekend, so I should see at least 3,000 people. Perhaps I can meet one of the them. And, another 600 at next week's event (many of them professors).

Good luck all. We are all individuals who someone wants to meet!

Yeah, K! It's been awfully quiet around here lately... Do it for us, lol! The worst that can happen is nothing, and at this point, that's not too hard to take.

Funny how we've had such similar experiences since Mr's 5 $ 11... and it was both of their losses!

Dawn, hope you bowl him over with your flirtatious smile ~ and hooray for your summer vacation!

newly, have fun at your church festival and next weekend, too. There's a big "peddler's fair" (glorified swap meet) here all weekend, so I may go check out somebody else's junk for a while on Saturday.

The funny thing about the on-line sites is as soon as I quit, e-harmony started sending me about twice as many matches in a week as I'd gotten in months, obviously to lure me back... only I can't see the pictures or communicate with anyone! I've got unread mail on another site I can't access, but so far I've resisted temptation...

It's not finding someone, it's finding the right someone that hasn't happened for us yet.

Drama, drama, drama, we want drama!!!!


I'm sure gekko will have some smart [censored] response, but all *I* want in my inbox is a friggin 90 deg hose bib adapter. I am so low maintenance, it's scary.

How long has this guy been "single"?

Given that I recently did a similar "friend of a friend" intro e-mail, I kept it simple. Something along the lines of "Hi, I am Bambi's friend, and she told me that she has this great friend (you), so I am just writing this note of introduction. (Maybe here say a couple of short things about yourself). I would be happy to tell you more about myself, and to learn a little more about you, if you would like. "

That's it, simply a shot through the bow, then see what happens. Have you seen a picture yet? That's definitely a must (at least for shallow me).

AGG

Funny Newly, maybe this is my bachelor, Officer & a Gentleman.
Not sure about the drama factor though. While I complain about the non-datehood, it sure is a safe place to be!

LT~ I've had the same luck with the sites. eH only sent me I bet 10 matches in 3 mos. I call it, ScamHarmony. The other one, same, had emails but couldn't get to em.
I have not been lured back in. All I need to do is see what my options on there and I put the money in my pedicure fund!

Everyone enjoy the long weekend. I have no plans. My girls will be with their dad. My youngest turns 13 on Sunday, I will have her back for the day. Two teenage girls in my house! How did THAT happen?!!!

Thanks all!
K!

I'll leave that for you AGG!
Drama is something I don't need or want.



Why didn't you say so....I have one of those in my garage.

Thanks for the tip on what to say. I think I'll use it.

Your question as to how long he's been single, I'm not real comfortable with the answer.
He's very newly divorced or it's just been finalized. I do know that he supposedly had a gf. Maybe he got his rebound out of the way. Just what I would need right?

Thanks for the input!
How about your dating? I think you've been a little shy on sharing????

K!

Yeah, I knew you would, now suppose you send it on out here!


Eeek. I'll shut up now.


I've become a playa. I hate myself. Why do you think I don't share?

AGG

D-IT I hate when that happens, had my response and hit something and gone!



Now suppose you come to the East coast to get it!
Afterall, many quality women on here reside on the EC!


I know, believe me. The only thing worse than having a rebound, is being a rebound. I've been on both sides, not fun!


Do not like what I just read.
Time for a name change....AGG = ABB [a bad boy]

You are too good a guy for that.

K.

Yeah, so I hear <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.


Yup!


Oh, thanks. It's not as bad as I say, it's just that I am trying to do multiple dating without being exclusive with anyone, and I suck at it. I mean I feel guilty. Really, I am meeting only one woman regularly (for a few weeks), but I am in e-mail with a couple of others. And I feel guilty. I don't wanna be a playa!

A[color:"red"]GG [/color]

AGG, from reading this, you really are A Good Guy, not a playa! I know how you feel though. When you find the right woman, you'll be exclusive, because you're AGG.

Hey, after all, he brushes his teeth the same way you do.

I am glad you cleaned that up!

This is the guy from the board that I held higher than playa level.
You're doing fine AGG!


K!

All I have is the diplomant and he thinks I'm great even if I am flawed.

Sounds pretty great to me Cind!

so karona, did you email the guy yet??? did ya did ya did ya??? huh huh huh?? do tell do tell!

mlhb

It would be better if we weren't 2-3 hours apart - by air on a direct connection....it's been this way for 6+ years. No end in sight. No end to the relationship. No end to the distance. His employer would love to transfer him to another office. The same distance away - in a different direction.
