Happy Birthday Sweetie!! :happy: :drinker:

That worked, thanks! :flowerforyou:

Welcome :flowerforyou:

Tried to join Team UK - Mission Impossible! :huh:

Meeeeeee!!!! :happy: :flowerforyou:

I think it's unlikely you will be able to get closer to either woman unless you focus on them exclusively and that means making a choice.

Integrity always. Fake is just plain boring...

You seem to think it's unfeminine

Catholicism? :laugh: :flowerforyou:

Hi I'm in Notts, add me if you like :flowerforyou:

OMG the dating dilemmas!! Why did no one warn me? :laugh: OK slight exaggeration but you get the drift..... :ohwell: I'm good thanks. The new job has taken over my life. I read a Bernstein quote today:"To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time." Well I have the latter in spades so…

Anna you fiend! I want one now :noway: :laugh:

Aha! My specialist subject :bigsmile: The more intolerant of uncertainty you are, the more you need to feel in control. Interesting, I never thought of it from a gender/dating perspective. I'll have a think and post again next week.

:laugh: One man's late is another man's early :wink:

I am always late and it isn't a mark of disrespect for me. I have been late to some of the things which have been most important to me. Most of my friends now tell me to be there 30 mins before they expect me. Maybe you could try the same :flowerforyou:

Is this the same guy you got scared about dating on Weds and almost cancelled because of his text spelling? So funny! :laugh: Well done Jennifer. We've all been there (a slight over-generalisation but what the hell :bigsmile: ). She who dares, wins :flowerforyou: Well, I sure hope so anyway.... news? :happy:

"Over sexed, Over paid and Over here" was a widely used expression in the second world war when there were American bases in the UK. It was pure jealousy, the common perception was that the Americans got all the prettty local women :smile:

I've got my party shoes on already and it's only Wednesday, can't wait!! :bigsmile: :drinker:

I agree that opinion is not divided on gender lines. My observations are informed by similar conflicts within communities on other net forums. It's not on the same scale here, but the dynamics are the same. A minority of men are engaged in a gender war, both online and in real life. Conflict such as that we have seen here…

1) I've not signed up to a gender war 2) If you are conducting one here I respectfully suggest you note Carl's observation that you are unlikely to solve real world issues via an internet forum. From long experience of observing others trying to do so I will add that invariably such discussions bring put the worst in each…

You know what they say about you Yanks: Oversexed, Overpaid and Overposting :tongue: :laugh: (except DMZ and Kristen of course, they have good tatste :wink: ) Welcome Danny and remstar :flowerforyou: Remstar I was in Bath a few months ago at the thermal spa. My second visit. Have you been? That rooftop jacuzzi pool is…

If people are breaking the rules and using abusive language then the moderation policy is fairly clear cut, the site rules apply too. I think the issue that Anna is asking for comment/consensus compromise on are those topics which get very heated and the comment gets personal in tone as people disagree intensely with each…

Ha! You're a class act Anna, no matter where you went to school :flowerforyou:

Apologies in advance for the directness and general unLorroness of the following message which is directed at no-one inparticular :flowerforyou: I find the style of debate that involves not listening, scoring points, trying to win and being as aggressive as possible tedious in the extreme. Sure people have a right to do it…

You're welcome :flowerforyou: That's fantastic, well done for sticking with it and logging every calorie too. You will definitely see improvement soon if you keep it up. Aim for working hard enough to be slighly breathless such that speaking to someone when exercising would a bit of a struggle but still possible. Aim for…

It would be great if those who want to debate something that has come up in the thread start one of their own and redirect people there. You could call it Gender Wars Round 2, 3 etc etc... :laugh:

Diana I think the main problem is that you seem very intolerant of uncertainty in these early days situations and that manifests itself as anxiety. The complex dating rules don't help either, feeding the feeling that there is some right answer to bring you safety/certainty. Please have a think about how your response of…

One track mind. :happy: I'll never know Anna, but I reckon unhappily married. Cheers :smile: Well they were nice enough in different ways, but neither set my world on fire. Can't wait to see you :flowerforyou:

Negative thinking is a barrier to dieting that almost everyone has to overcome. It's totally understandable that if you have an illness in which a chemical imbalance in a brain hormone results in a more rigid negative thinking style then it is going to be that much more difficult. Of course it can still be done, but it's…

My dating drought is over! Been on three dates this weekend. :drinker: In the early hours of Saturday morning I got hopelessley lost in a strange city when the road I came in on was closed. Thank goodness for the kindness of strangers. I found a highways worker who took pity on me and left his work to get in his car and…
