I like how Marknis' threads all turn into "let's help other people get into relationships". Lol.

If you pay for the flights :lol:

I’ll see what I need to do with gofundme. But I’m not going to do it if there’s not any participation. I might could kick in $25 to start.

Anybody interested in setting a budget for this thing? Depending on air travel costs, offhand I’d say cap this whole thing at $3.5k USD. That’s a lot, so if someone out there can do the research and cut that in half, let’s see some figures.


I visited the UK back in ‘94, and I remember everything seemed way pricey. So would it work out better getting boo to the UK or hurtloam to Lebanon?

Come on, people, I need some dialogue here...

I'm I actually kinda seeing someone... and if that doesnt work I have another option here in the UK.

Sorry.

I would love to go to Lebanon, but my mother would kill me if I took off to go visit someone I met online.

Thanks.

Actually, we went from zero to two. :lol:
You are like that movie with Dane Cook where because of a curse if women have sex with him, the next day they meet the man of their life. But you only need to ask them out. :mrgreen:

What did you want to write?

And how would you define the "and if that doesnt work I have another option" thing? :mrgreen: :silent:

That's a "I have a boyfriend and a backup boyfriend too" , it's an extended version of the classic one - can be translated to "Hell no, not you".

Never show interest, better if you actually manage not to have it too.

Given that the mods want us to stay on topic and help Markins, I'd advice him to get fitter and sexier and/or try to advance in his career or get a good job, if he doesn't have any. But just getting fitter alone should already have a sufficient impact, I find it easier than the job thing.

You have got to stop obsessing over it, it seems like its all consuming...and that is bad for you. You have to find some distractions to keep your mind off it at least for a while.

I am not saying give up, but you need to take a mental break from it or something...work some on your-self and try to get into a better place mentally. Than try to seek a relationship.

There just really isn't any other advice I can give I have tried everything I can think of. You don't even seem like you want to even think about moving out of your moms house. I mean it would be difficult but kind of seems you are reluctant to even consider that. But realistically there are ways to do it. :ninja:

I think you said you also get disability income but your mom is getting it deposited to her account and she's not even your payee...You may need legal advice, which you could go to a local mental health center and usually they have a Navigations person you can talk who can at least point you in the right direction to deal with that matter. But you have to actually contact one in your area and make the efforts.

Also if you are on SSI/SSDI than you would likely qualify for subsidized housing....but not sure that is the sort of disability you meant. That is what I was going to do, but the way things happened I already had a place to live and share rent before I got a letter about a housing opening. Though you also need control of your money so you can pay rent, unless your mom is going to set it up for you and you trust her with that.

It’s ok... I am not sad, I am not sad at all.

It’s just dust in the eyes.

And oh, Markins, what he said above! (whatever he said).

Always remember that people are the same height when they kiss.

How are you today, Mark?

From another internet forum:

Quote:
Men who live at home with their parents are less likely to marry than men who have their own places. This is more significant in some communities than in others. In communities where circumstances make it difficult for young people to find a suitable place to live-for example, an expensive suburb where there are no rentals-it isn’t as important.Nevertheless, a man who lives alone is more likely to marry than one who lives with his parents.

It's better to be on your own then with the one person. We don't always need someone in order to be happy.I hope when the time comes, you find love . Try not to dwell or procrastinate nor worry about what others think.
