er.... um...
Well, I revived an old online dating thread of mine....
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												LOL! Don't ask me about "dating"!
I have generally always sort of met 'em - through friends, or study, or life and such - got to know 'em, and started a relationship in a very gradual sort of way, catching up with 'em through whatever means I first did, and seguing into it.
Now I am dating, and damned weird the whole thing is, considering how seldom I actually had to do it in the past! I deal with it by refusing to use the "d" word, and pretending we're just chatting at a party!
I seem to be able to get 'em to talk pretty easily, and once that is done, I sort of relax and forget about the "d" thing.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Deb, you usually get 'em to talk pretty easily????
YOU??? Naaaaaa.....................
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Heehee - mind you, I have one who says I talk a lot - but then, so does he...who's complaining...

Methinks Aussie bouncers are a dangerous lot.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Hmmmm - not wrong, narelle - I was just thinking about bouncers and trouble.

 So he's an adolescent now, perhaps!?  America has that effect on people...

So many of them are just thugs! 
 
											 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Yep - sadly I have to second that. I guess we don't know the whole Hookes story, but I am afraid I have a lot of horror bouncer stories....

If you're interested go here to see the tributes. I'm shattered.
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Yikes, so sad about Hookes....
Deb, I'm glad you're chatting-at-a-party now and enjoying it.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												I'm very sorry. Death due to senseless violence, makes it much harder to deal with.
Deb, tell more about your chatting-at-a-party!
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Nah - I'd rather digress.....I hate Tuesdays...
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												In my opinion Tuesdays are generally superior to Mondays.  
 
											 
																									
						
														
					
												Why should that be? Mondays happen to be my weekend! And tuesdays my mondays...
											
					
				 
																
						
														
					
												I see your point, bigdice. But for many of us Monday morning is the same old Monday morning.  

 Now, Friday afternoon is generally an excellent time of high optimism!
