Your dog is right Franky

I think it's a respitory virus going around. It definitely affects the chest and the throat. There's a lot of wheezing. Which is why I asked my dr if it was Whooping Cough. As you cough so much, and lose your voice. Just surprised no news channel gave warning about it, because it feels a bit severe. Not trying to scaremonger, but it doesn't feel nice.

.. no its the presumption that they think somehow I'm easy....ok.. I am easy..lol.. but I don't want you just to assume I am.. because of the way I dress or look... I find a lot of women.
attractive.. but I don't start... putting my hands all over them.. like somehow just because we're on a date... I am somehow your property...
. that is the way some of them are behaving... I'm all for flirting..
believe me you.. I am NOT some prude.. I can lay it on pretty thick myself.. but my last 3 or 4 dates..
.omg.. like get a grip.. we're on a date to get to know each other.. not immediately jump into bed with each other...

Hope you feel better soon and hope they gave you medicine so your lungs don't feel so tight.

. Lol..... Not to mention his pool stick

Sorry you had a bad experience. There's a bit of humor because usually one hears about the guy acting like what you described.
But I do understand that you feel disrespected.
I hope it goes better with the next person. Just be yourself and hold on to your expectations. You shouldn't have to change who you are.
There is someone special for you out there

Thank you again to the handsome gentleman at the corner store who tossed $2.00 onto the counter before I could get it out of my purse to pay for my lottery ticket. If those numbers hit the $221 million dollar jackpot, you can bet I will be hunting you down in that Silver Dodge Charger!

we used to answer a phone like this.
Pete's pool hall or balls are big , and are sticks are long..lol

maybe it's broken

Lookin' good, Mingle Peeps!

As I understand it though from things that you've posted, you're just looking for a casual relationship. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

Don't get me wrong. I get where you're coming from and I understand that even if it's a friend with benefits that you want the friendship part is really important and you would want to know if that's going to work first but if you say that you're not looking for anything serious you're likely to get women that don't want to get involved and they're going to be thinking that you're going to be up for it on the first date; or when it's a meeting online thing, they chat with you on here and they only make up their minds that they want to meet you when they've decided that they want to have sex with you.

I've had it happening as well. A lot of women just assume that because you're a guy that you'll shag anybody, or that it's just their decision and then it's a foregone conclusion. I had one recently that I didn't even really flirt with that I asked how she felt that the date had gone and then she started giving me a lot of jazz about how she wasn't going to sleep with me that night and that she didn't do one night stands when I hadn't even said anything about that and all that I wanted to know was what I had asked her about how she felt that the date had gone and if she wanted to see me again.

Some women flirt with their hands. I've had them doing it even when I've not done anything to indicate that I'm sexually atracted to them. Sometimes they do it as a come on when you're chatting and getting on really well. Don't think that I should have to tell you that.

I don't know what you're like in real life compared to on here but if you're anything like the way that you are with these women as you are with some of the ladies on the forums I'm not surprised that they would think that you're going to be up for it. If your aproach is getting you dates, that's good obviously but I think that you're right to play it a bit cooler with them and to keep them a bit at arms length. That's pretty much what I do with them. Maybe don't take them somewhere where you're going to be drinking alcohol on the first date. That's one way to get them to slow down. That one that I mentioned that did the sexual contact with me didn't even remember doing it when I mentioned it the next time that I saw her and she had only had a couple of drinks. With a lot of women that's all that it takes for them to lose all of their inhibitions. Also, maybe don't buy them dinner or do anything that's about romancing them on the first date. I've had women coming to my place for coffee that were flirty types and they kept their hands to themselves. There are ways of doing it where you can make it about it not even being a "date" and just meeting up as friends first. Doesn't mean that you have to drag that out or get friend zoned. It can just be tricky with this online dating though, like I said, because for a lot of them, they will only meet when they've made up their minds that you're hooking up for sex.

I can't completely let go of you,
or the love and friendship we once shared,
the squabbles we had, and the giggles we had.
I miss you with all of me,
but you'll be glad to know things have gotten a little easier,
but the pain will always be there,
you will always remain in my heart fore ver

thanks for the sound advice.Tawt.
it makes a lot of sense..hmm
. less alcohol more coffee..
and perhaps I come off a little too.
.hmm.. playful.. maybe I put them at ease. make them feel a little too comfortable.. around me before we even go on a date..hmm.. looks like I may have to change.. after all..hmm.
maybe not me so much but... my style. be a little more formal
les laid back... a little less adorable...lol..

..Awww.. Frankie.. that is so painfully sweet.. and touching..
. you are truly a mature woman..

Friendship is not disrespectful!

I am deeply sorry to hear of the passing of your stepfather...
If you need me, as always, please contact me...

I love you...

Why do you ask soooo many questions about the past?

What a shame....just a shame

OH...


MY...


GAWD...
