Here we go again, selection reboot, history repeating itself (and hopefully not its whole self).

I wonder if you'll eventually find them meaningless.

Maybe I'll reach this level when I become very used to it.

Good luck.

I found dating to be like getting my teeth drilled, especially the online stuff where the whole situation just feels awkward and contrived and never really loses that sense.

cathylynn: 100? That's harrowing. You've got bigger orbs than me, I've been on maybe a dozen and somewhat dread the prospect of going back to it.

Dates can be entertaining after a while too. You see when people are blatently trying to impress you or play hard-to-get, and it's really funny!

For males being like that, I call them "slimey".

I've been out of touch, when and how did you break up with the Muslim girl?

Aww...well, I find it flattering (depends). Maybe it makes other women feel awkward but I find it hilarious.

This is like my 10th or 11th date of my lifetime (besides the short lived relationship) - hence why I still see them significant.

I am exactly equivalent to a young TEEN who just recently entered the dating world.

The relationship died out gradually - and for some reason, I don't think I am attracted to her enough.

The woman I met today is a 28 years old nurse, Christian but extremely liberal still yet she claims she's hesitant to enter a new relationship (yet the date went very well with a hug-touchy kiss on the end ;p and she's so damn cute :heart: ....) - the other woman (tomorrow) is muslim, 29 years old accountant (how liberal yet i have to find out) and sounds she's dying for a formal relationship :-/.

I could kind of say the same about myself but I've been shaped as well by a lot of other people's successes and misses to where my composure at least works pretty well. The challenge - meeting girls who I can actually fall in deep for; they're quite few and far between.

... Did you write "orbs??"

At this point I'm not sure when I'll stop laughing :D
