@ Sacha Please say it's me.

As have I. It is tiny, could be fleeting, could be something I ate for dinner last night! hah! Either way, I am becoming... more and more interested in one person in particular, well, two actually, but one more than the other. At this point, im just observing like a scientist to see if this is Legit or is it... all smoke and mirrors! Good luck with your crush! I doubt my crush(es) even feel like wise for me and i Sure The HELL am not going to ask. I am Far Too Shy for those things!! So, until I hear further word from either individual, me lips are sealed!

@Sadoi Wow wow the plot thickens! Im too shy as well, though anything could happen, don't keep your lips sealed for too long, I hope they will be liplocked soon enough. Anyone would be mad no to crush back on you.

@Sacha aww Sacha! You are too kind! blush You are shy, too? Ooh so you understand the nature of the silent crush?! I think ladies like you and I could easily be misconstrued for those "chick friends" that others assume aren't interested. Do you just... keep it to yourself until you see further signs that, perhaps, the feelings are mutual or do you eventually get the gumption to bring it up yourself? see, ive never admitted a crush development to Anyone, Ever! I shutter to think! Just the idea gives me shivers of awkwardness. Oh i just couldn't do it! I just couldnt! lol I fear I would black out before the words could even escape my lips!
haha

@Sacha im THAT Kind of "shy!" extreeeme! But Only in the area of romance. Otherwise, i am outgoing and a social butterfly.

@Sadoi You must let your crush know that you like them because you are way too beautiful inside and out . You know what, that crush probably has the exact same thing going on in their head as you do, so you got to step up and tell them. Tell them you think they are beautiful/handsome and you would love to meet them one day for a drinkies/meal, see what they say

@Sacha oh god! just reading your message, i began to squirm and blush! see, think of a 12 year old school girl. Thats ME when i have a crush! I could Never! plus, its too soon. he will think im Nuuuts! haha i would black out at the keyboard! i am... teeerribly shy when it comes to things of this nature. I mean, im an Extreme case. I mean blackout, literally. haha! not metaphorically speaking! haha

@Sacha aww but what you said was soo sweet, too. You are too kind. blush

@Sadoi Write him a secret admirer love note and get one of your friends to pass it to him after class hehehe

@Sacha Omg you are hilarious! I cracked up laughing like a hyena when I read that! Better yet, I can pass him a note that reads as such: "Would you like to be my boyfriend? Circle Yes or No" Better not drop that note, else the teacher finds it and reads it publically to the ENTIRE CLASS! ooh talk about humiliation as a deterrent! hahaha! Instead, I'd just be that idiot stalking him around campus like i think Im in some episode of "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego!" haha

@Sadoi If you are very very lucky he may even invite you to the prom haha

@Sacha ooh them I can wear my fanciest dress and maybe Mom will let me wear my Red Lipstick too!! Bwaahaha! If I ever find myself in New Zealand, I Must look you up Sacha! I think you would be a fun person to meet!! But, the question is, will you take me to prom??! Lol

@Sadoi Damn straight I will, I will get us a limo and everything lol

@Sacha ooh don't tempt me! I have HONESTLY Always wanted to go to New Zealand! Im a huge cyclist, hiking, camping enthusiast and I have DREAMED of cycling around NZ! I've always wanted to go to Tasmania too. One of my best friends resides on Bondi Beach in Australia and he always tells me if I visit him, he will take me to NZ so I have Almost gone to Aussie just to see NZ! haha!! I have another good friend in Tasmania too. In the 90s I Almost married an Aussie. He wanted to send to the Univ of Sydney, but i ended up chickening out and decided I didn't want to marry him and leave to Australia. I was too young and I knew it. BUT, back to the actual topic at hand... I thought about going down under around Christmas of this coming year, 2018. I could hit NZ up first...

I am with you on that! This site is already fast becoming my preferred method of chat! haha

Staying in to shampoo my hair... then my cats hair... then my hamsters hair... then my neighbors dogs hair... hahaha! Absolutely true! And in that, I have snooped the sites of those I find I am slightly interested in. So far, it has been an interesting journey through internetland.

@Sadoi I'll be polishing fridge magnets . Unless I can scrounge up a tinder date or something . The other option is go see a film somewhere nice. I often see other single people sitting there by themselves too.

@ripcurldane Next time you go to the movies, just sit down next to th ehottest singles in there! hahaha! Polishing fridge magnets?! Hmmm... me thinks you need another hobby, perh chance? lol

@Sadoi I have considered the sitting next to a single trick. I could sidle up and gently enquire or get a sense, and then see where the intuition takes me..

@ripcurldane DO IT!! Then report back to me with the findings!!! hahaha!

Agreed! Same for me! This is like a Sapiosexuals coolest fantasy!! haha

Enzo and Ember

@Sacha hip, hip, hurrah for Enzo and Ember. They dancing.

niiiice!!!!

excellent scenario my friend! I think, at this moment, I Am a Wall Flower. And i Like it like that! Besides, the wall NEEDS me! I am the only thing keeping it up so please don't drag me to the floor, else the whole room is going to collapse! That would be my excuse to Not Join in on the dance! haha

You are pretty cool

@Babyseal, I think you are pretty cool too

I agree! I just said, essentially, the same thing in the above response. I Am already slightly... interested in a couple of individuals here, one more than the other, but only time will tell! Either way, I am willing to open up the possibilities and worst case scenario, I make some Really awesome friends. Either way, I win!

hahahaha! Most Excellent of answers my good, gent friend!! What ya got against hell, sir??

@Sadoi Nothing too much, some great people there I`m told and they do fuck-in-hell. Just miles to go before I sleep.

@Sadoi Sorry just googled it. Did not realize it was a place. A gay friend of mine just got a new GF from Dykehead lol

@273kelvin ooh dykehead?! ...hmm is he sure she's a lady? haha! where is gayass? I want to get a boyfriend from Gayass!!

@273kelvin miles to go before you sleep? ... hey! Are you watching Deathproof, sir?! lol Miles to go before you sleep, right Butterfly? If you haven't seen Deathproof, you will undoubtedly have noo idea what i speak of! hah

@Sadoi I don`t know but there is a Cockermouth

@Sadoi miles to go before you sleep? .Us poet Robert Frost

@273kelvin LMAOOO!! Cockermouth?!! oh im dying over here! I knew since you were in the UK that there HAD to be some claaassic names!! bwaahahaha!

@273kelvin it is also quoted in Deathproof! When you quoted Frost, first thing that came to my mind was Deathproof because of the diabolical reasoning for the quote in the movie. Great flick, by the way, if you don't mind some blood and gore a bit.

I haven't done the on line thing myself. How has it been for you?

@Sadoi I'm single...

I had a 5 year relationship, a few 1 or 2 year relationships, and I found my best friend. All people I met on match.com or OkCupid.com

The dating process sucks. Many first dates, very few second dates, even fewer month or two then this isn't working for us, and 5 relationships. I met a few people IRL too, but nothing stuck.

However, I remain hopeful and will keep trying.

@shockwaverider I typically date men I have met in person. I am new to this... internet thing. Its kind of daunting. ooh

Ooh ALREADY, sir?! You Already have your eye on someone? Hmm, well, I must admit, I also have my eye on two someones. haha! Soo I'm certainly not above the game! lol Perhaps we will get lucky and our romantic interest end up feeling likewise! But, like I said in my above posts, I won't hold my breath! haha! If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't, but at least I will have some extra cool friends to chat with! Its a win-win situation either way! I don't really need romance. I am perfectly happy alone, too. It is nice to share your life with another person, but if I never have another relationship again, in this lifetime, I would be just as fine. I can marry my career instead! haha I have No expectations and I believe that is the best approach to have.

@Sadoi Lol, no, not really! I'm messing. Glad to here you've got a couple on the go! Good going!

@Zoidburg well it's mainly one person, but the other is a close second. ????

I wouldnt say no to love be it local or on the other side of the globe. For me, the ability to fall in love with someone is already so RARE an occurance that IF i did find a person I Thought i Could love, I would go anywhere, do anything to nurture it. But, there are a lot of "if's" in this scenario. First task is the most difficult: Finding someone I am actually attracted to. lol!

It is getting to the attracted part that is most time consuming.
In Toronto, I blind coffee dated as much as 4 times in a week. Online many of these women seem real fine. Then when you do the 5 senses check, then all the lying test, age, weight and 35percent are still married. After getting through the lying game, once almost had a transvestite turn into the crying game. It's costly investing even in a dinner for a blind date. Imagine investing in a trip 1000s of miles away to find out the 5 senses are telling you, this blind date does not make good sense.

Some odd faith dreams do come true. Good thing I am not a hopeless romantic.

@Castlepaloma I laughed out loud when I read the "Crying Game" portion! Oh man... see, it is stories like these that bring sheer and utter terror to me and Why i prefer to Not Date. haha!

The he/she, we had alot of artistic things in common. After long conversations on line, we almost set up a date. I figured it out before the dinner date, it was a guy. When I cancelled the date and said I am into natural born women. He/she bitched and nagged at me like she was on steroids.

Si Senor Tom. Here. This site. This place. The here and the now of the internet. hahah

I haven’t been found here on this site yet. I’m new.

@Tom08030 oh it only takes a couple of weeks then: BOOM! Hundreds of alerts every 3 hours! Ive been working on trying to get that number down ALL day and more keep appearing. Currently im still at 74 and that is AFTER i responded to nearly 50 alerts. Be careful what you wish for! haha

I hear ya! Right now, im merely establishing friendships, myself. I have no expectations either way. If it happens, it happens. If it doesnt, it doesnt. No biggie! But at least I will have MORE friends, right? And who couldn't use more like minded buddies? Although I have met 2 rather interesting men here in only this short time. I find them both equally fascinating.

That's great, @Sadoi! Me and who else? LOL

@Charley43 hahahaha! ooh touche!! Good response there, sir! I shall add a point to your list now... adds one line for witty retort There!

I am with you on this one. Same for me. I can always use more friends and I am pleased with what I have discovered around here thus far.

I don't even notice where people are located, but when I do, I think, "ooh... i wonder what that city/town/country looks like..." I am more curious about things, hence, IF i did find anyone of interest, I would be willing to travel in order to test things out and see if there truly is a point to going further.

I’d feel inclined to do the same.

@Gatovicolo glad to read you are on the upswing to try!

5000 feet up? Are you hanging with Luke Skywalker at the Jedi temple?

@Sadoi In my fortress instructing young jedi.

@azzow2 hahaha! i love it! hey, can you send me one of those, cute, fat little birds aaand... one of those lizard looking ladies so I can hire her on as my housekeeper??!

@Sadoi Not sure of the reptile they all seem to be hiding.

@azzow2 dang! snaps fingers And to think, i need a housekeeper too! lol

i am open to many things in many settings. i try not to say "no" or "never" because you NEVER no/know! haha

interesting theory...

I would consider those things myself, too, but it would depend upon many a variable.

where did my response to you go? Yes, I have two mild crushes atm, but I am slow and steady so I am watching and observing from a distance. lol! I also have no idea if either of them are interested in my, like that, and I sure they hell have on intensions of asking! I am far too shy for anything like that. Instead, I will merely observe from the shadows and... whatever comes to pass, comes to pass! Either way, I have a couple of cool friends in the end, right?

@Sadoi I had somewhat of a problem on another question and ended up with 3 responses! All because answers sometimes disappeared when I hit the back button on my tablet or on the screen.

Don't underestimate yourself. Give them time to get to know you through your answers. No one can see your messages except you and the other person (and Admin I suppose). Start small. ????

@EllenDale yes. there are sloths with moss growing upon them that move faster than I! haha Good advice. nods

It makes sense. There are many interesting people at this site. So many choices! haha

hahaha!!!
I like them over medium or scrambled (with the irksome ketchup on them when scrambled, unless the eggs have cheese or other ingredients mixed in)

maybe an omelette then? lol x

@LeighShelton omlettes work. albeit, im deathly allergic to onions! and avocados.

bummer ham, cheese and mushrooms it is.I've never tried an avocado and don't want to. does that mean your allergic to garlic? if so I know your problem. you're a vampire and you're from hell. I won't be saying bight me to you anytime soon lol.

Location isn't really an issue for me. I already Know the pond I currently swim in locally has Nothing for me because All the Fish Here Looove god. Hence, why I have finally taken it to the internet. Its either date someone my age who intends to drag me straight to jesus and to god OR date men much younger than myself because they seem to be the only ones open minded enough around here to date a woman like myself. Dating men that much younger can cause major issues! haha

@Sadoi Well, if location isn't an issue, you may consider moving to Portland Oregon, which has the lowest church attendance of any major city int he U.S., or at least has the most people who are willing to afmit they don't attend church. If you work in the Tech field there are also growign job opportunities in the general area. Of course with that job growth has come a sharp rise in housing costs.

@snytiger6 I would return to Calif if I were to head West. I'm not in tech at all. Lol. I consider myself a technotard. I am in the medical field.

@Sadoi Portland, is also on the leading edge of Medical research. OHSU (Oregon health and Science University) is a World leader in medical research. They cured my leukemia using drug only therapies (no rediation or marrow transplant). They also do gene therapies and stem cell research., besides beign on the leading edge of drug therapies.

@snytiger6 all astute points you have made.

Former Portlander, here. Born and raised, but now living in sunny Las Vegas. There is indeed religion in Portland, and lots of it - it just doesn't go by a name theologians would recognize. I'm an escapee of said religion. I still love my Portland roots but the culture has transformed into a grotesque caricature of itself.

@Shawno1972 I think virtually every place with a local colorful culture eventually turned into a caricature of what it once was.

I have yet to encounter persons who are rabidly religious, who want to convert (infect) others aggressively, in the Portland area. In Los Angeles that kind of thing would not be uncommon. So, by contrast, at lest for me, Portland is not very religious at all.

You are toooo correctamundo on that one!! I agree! I believe we have more than one soul mate, but I'm always keeping my eye open, im just... slow on the uptake is all. And i never know what is going on half the time when anything romantic begins to sprout. Im just oblivious, it would seem! haha

@Sadoi I'm pretty oblivious to that as well And I agree on having more than one soul mate. At least I hope so because I've already found one and we both screwed that up a long time ago lol.

@Gunnsmith57 hahaha! yeah me too! let us cross our fingers that my theory is correct!!
