And what if i get more than one interested party? How do I let the other one down, or even choose between them? What If I get some weird bunny boiler who starts stalking me or tries to drug me, and what if someone I know sees me and then pick on me for being on tinder? Im getting worked up even thinking about it, God who would want to spend their life with a nutter like me anyhow, maybe I'm better off just being single, for the sake of humanity =(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Work night out. The next morning I walked her to work and was still so drunk I fell over. She nearly pissed herself laughing and she's been enjoying me fall over regularly since, not drunk. That was ten years ago. Married for five of them and have two little uns. Never thought I'd get married and that life could make me this happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Most of you seem to have met people whilst drunk, I feel left out here as I met my now husband on what was I guess a very early form of social media, way back in 1983. I bet none of you can guess how we met! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being honest, I am useless at relationships. I have no idea how they work, I get bored easily, and always find faults. I do think they're some beings who just aren't meant to be with another human being for life. The thing is I am utterly useless at flowing convos with people who I don't really know. I sort of wait for someone to take the kead. I suppose tho if both are the same then convos never go anywhere. I absolutely detest sending messages to someone who I like. It's a very stressful process. Always worrying if I have sent the right thing etc. Then there is the whole do I initiate a convo or just wait. I just remembered this subject was touched upon a while back. Basically the family is a tight knit family and they all moved out of Bristol some 15 years ago. The person who I like said they would be keen on a return to Bristol but worried about missing the family. Maybe I should ask BCFC to send me their promo video that they send to potential signings? I think in relationships there is always things that bug you about the other. Over time these things can get even worse. It all really depends if your prepared to live with those things or not.

Pick up the phone and chat to her then? Ask her how her day was, tell her about yours. Just get to know her. Only then can you decide if it's worth putting in more effort. Suggest meeting up at some point as you can only really get to know someone by interacting with them, be that on the phone/text or in person.

RedM Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 @Juan Kerr cute but not right, @WoodsyI wish that had happened. My meeting sounds really naff when I think about it, but it was very much 'of the time' so it wasn't at all strange back then. I'll have a little think then maybe pluck up the courage to share if you promise not to laugh . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 After nearly forty years together, I tell young people that if they are thinking of marrying or just living together it is not enough to love the other person so much you want to spend the rest of your life with them. Instead you have to love the other person so much, you are prepared to put up with them for the rest of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be yourself and you will be loved for ' yourself ' . There is someone for everyone ( except Thatch ) and what one person finds attractive another doesn't. Only joking Thatch , there's probably somebody out there who loves antagonistic trolls ! You've maybe already found that person and that explains your posts .
