Thanks Sue, I've only been out there looking for a couple of months now, I'd taken a hiatus for a few years, and it is time for me to be with someone again. I'm not just looking for anyone, it will have to be a very special person. I can tell quickly if a person is someone with a connection, not just romantically, in any way. And to me..."putting" myself out there (with chances of being hurt or used) is better than hiding away, keeping my guard up, and not meeting new people with new ideas. I have learned something from just about everyone, even if it's just a reminder of why I don't like a certain thing. And I can't say I've ever really attracted the "wrong" people. There's always a reason, season or a lifetime as they say. Sometimes it's a learning experience I need, sometimes it is something I can help the other person with, and they don't even know it. And thank you for putting yourself out there and try to protect me in some kind way by sharing with me your feelings. Of course I've been hurt a lot (like everyone else), but someday, there is going to be that person who will make those hurts worth it.
Nice outlook!

I've been single for about a year now and moved back home last November. I'm in no hurry for a U-haul or a serious relationship. I'm happy, content, and all in all, I like my life. There are moments, more frequently than not, where I would like to have someone to share special moments with, if that makes sense. In all honesty, I figured once I got back home, I wouldn't have any issue with the whole dating thing. I was obviously wrong. I know what I'm looking for and I won't settle. I would really prefer to have my next relationship be the last one, you know? As far as who I tend to attract - ugh, that's a story in and of itself. And what sucks about that is I would like to think I'm a decent person on multiple levels - kind, genuine, etc etc. So the 64 dollar question is either - why do I continue to attract people who treat me like garbage, or, what in the hell is wrong with me. I swear i'm a nice person who has a lot to offer, but it seems to me no one seems to want to give me a chance.

How far have you traveled to be in a relationship in the past?
And would you do it again?

Ferret unfortunately if you have a kind heart people will take advantage of you. It is an (all about me world now days). Just be yourself and eventually ,probably when you least expect it someone will find you . Someone who will love you for you.

Tried the LDR thing. One was a couple hours away, different state. One was cross-country, a few timezones away.
The couple of hours I might, stressing the might, do again under the right circumstances with the right woman. But highly unlikely.
The cross-country, nope. It was rough. Too much of a difference in our lives especially when she was just getting home for dinner when I was getting ready for bed.

If it was me, I would pick Scenario 1.
Zimmeh
Happy Friday Eve to all!
I have to be at the airport at 6 AM Sunday.
Scenario 1: There is a party (any gender or sexual orientation) starting Saturday at 1PM. The location is a 2 hr trip each way.
Scenario 2: There is a monthly "women's" dance starting Saturday at 7 PM (let's be honest, people won't be there until at least 8 or 9 PM). The location is 30-45 min each way.
Scenario 3: I could stay home and relax...
So, which scenario would you choose and why?

Is this the place to write this????
Good day everyone(w)
I'm single, I'm femme, I'm a pre-senior (lol), and I'm looking to meet that last first kiss. I'm in Maine, hoping to move south by winter. I'm looking at TX, but if I should meet someone that really clicks, then I would go there, nothing is written in stone, and that really isn't why I'm here. I'm just looking for a butch to call my own. I'm not perfect and neither will s/he. We all have baggage, but finding that someone whose baggage goes along with mine, someone who can help carry mine when I'm over loaded, and someone I can carry theirs when they are having dragging theirs. I am looking more for butch friends than femmes...I have already way too many femme friends, though I would never push one away.
I'm down to Earth; spiritual rather than religious; not political but will vote when I feel strongly on issues; on ssdi, so not looking to be a sugar momma, nor looking for a sugar daddy, I get enough to pay my bills and a few extra things, and that is all I need; I will never be on the cover of Vogue, and hopefully not on the cover of Redneck Digest (if there is such a thing); I'm a very happy person, and hope that people notice that :jester: than the more serious side I'm taking here; I'm very easy going, meld well into most environments and with most people; And many people think of me as a sweet, kinda innocent girl they can take to visit grandma, which they could, but that is just one side of me, I've been around the block a few times:fuck:...lol I can be shy or the life of the party, I'm just me, don't know how to be anyone else.
So, if this is the wrong place to post this, then please point me in the right directions. It would be nice chatting with like minded people. :floatbee:

I was talking to someone that lives in Ballinasloe, County Galway, Ireland. She was five hours ahead of me, and we rarely talked. We decided to be friends and I love telling people about my friend in Ireland. My mom is half Irish and half German. I love meeting people from every corner of America and the World. International relationships are very hard to maintain, so I would choose someone who lives here in the US.
I love to travel and most of my friends will tell you that, I love the Mid West and the North East of the US. I have lived in Ann Arbor and Flint, Michigan; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Boston area.
But I also love the people of the South. I was born and raised in Daytona Beach, Florida until I was 15 years old; when I moved to Flint.

I moved to the Seattle, WA area to be with someone. After three weeks, I got on a plane headed back to Florida. Unfortunately, I would not do it again. I lost a good job in the process and it was a learning experience.

Can't say that I have ever moved ,but had one lady move from Oregon to be with me in Tn. We were together for 5 yrs. till she decided to move back closer to her family when her health started failing. We still keep in contact too.Come to think of it she has a birthday coming up in June.

Thanks Zimmeh
Can I ask what you are missing about New England?
I'm not Zimmeh, of course, but I can tell you one thing that I will miss when I move away: the changing of the seasons. As pesky as those leaves are, clogging up gutters and putting hours on the leaf blower, I love seeing the reds, oranges and yellows mix with the green leaves hanging on. I could do without winter, honestly, but what I think I will miss most is a true fall and all of the colors and beauty it brings.
I would never move to start a relationship with someone. I would like to travel for fun with someone but I would not move.

The culture and knowing that you can walk all around the Boston area and see history. I lived in Arlington Heights and Franklin, Mass before I moved back to Florida. Like Gemme said, it is the change of season and the people. One of my favorite things that I loved to do while living in the Boston area, was to go have Apple Cider at the Au Bon Pain location in Harvard Square. Florida has two seasons, warm and warmer.

Sounds like a plan! I haven't lived in Boston since 1999 and I am originally from Florida. When I was in my 20's, I loved to travel and see the U.S. One of my favorite places that I visited, was Jamestown, ND. My goal in a couple of years is to visit Paris, the South of France and Ireland. What is your favorite place to visit on vacation?

Let me know if you need a travel companion I have been interested in going to Ireland, Germany, and France. I have been to Italy but would go back in a minute it was beautiful and so yummy.
For me my favorite place is the next big adventure. I love Mexico, Canada, Italy, and the northeastern U.S. I would like to see more of the northwest U.S.
Zimmeh
05-27-2016, 04:41 PM
I recommend the North Dakota and South Dakota area. I will see if I can find the pictures that I took while up in Jamestown and post them on Facebook. Italy is on my list to visit and Germany sounds interesting to visit. I know that the area around Auschwitz is eerily quiet. One of the fun things that I did while visiting Boston, was to spend Halloween night in Salem. I wouldn't mind visiting Belgium, Serbia and London. Before my dad became sick, I had already planned on traveling to these countries. After his death, I went to college and never made it! The Scandinavia area is pretty to!

You are correct I do need to see the Dakota's. Thanks in advance for offering photos.
It would be fun to go to Germany and see how I do speaking German with a Texas draw. Haha.😊 I took 2 years of German language in college.
Salem sounds fun too. I like the areas that you want to see.
I need to start a travel savings account.
Argentina was a nice place to visit.
Personally I would love to see Norway.

I had a good time seeing my friends and keeping my plans for the day. I bought myself a very cute Florida themed Starbucks cold cup. I also stopped by my favorite store! I picked up two tubes of L'Occitane en Provence's shea butter hand cream and two tins of rose scented shea butter balm.
I also stopped by the Pulse Nightclub to pay my respects to our 49 family members who lost their lives. My former coworker is sending me a Starbucks Pride Pin so I can show my respect for my former community.

Last week I tried to put in a window air conditioner by myself. I dropped the whole thing out the window.
Got it back in the window but can't figure out how to put screws made for wood into a metal window. Lol
So I just put them into the wood part of the window frame in the wrong place but at least it hasn't fallen again.
Someone needs to start a "Rent a Butch" business, if you ask me. Lol

I am working for 16 hours tomorrow, but this weekend I will be able to spend some time getting my little office set up. I am also gonna try my best to mount my TV to the wall. If my tv falls, it is all of butch-kinds fault for not being around to help lol.
:sunglass: ...just wondering how it went with the tv mounting?
Did it fall or still in place? :thumbsup:
Happy Independence Day singles,
I hope everyone has a happy day.
Time to fire up those grills and find a swimming pool or head to the lake.

Gorilla Glue does hold things well but if she's got a window unit, it's likely that she'll need to take it out for winter so that may not be the best option. They make metal screws, Teaandroses, that you can pick up anywhere, even Walmart. Sometimes those window units can be pretty bulky and awkward so take joy in your success at getting it back in there.
Happy 4th, singles!

Looks like it's gonna be a bit cooler the next week or so on the east coast so you are coming at a good time!
But my phone is sometimes not trust worthy with the weather. :|

My phone lies to me too. Speaking of phones, I wrote you # on a piece of paper, which I lost, so feel free to text or call. I'll be in town Monday and Tuesday night.

Durham at least once a month, but my next trip (later in August) includes a stopover in Toronto. I get to throw in a little play time over the weekend...woohoo!

No plans tonight (unless you count a date with the couch and Harry Potter books).

Sometimes feeling single is good, sometimes it's bad. I'm on the good slope since I head to Toronto TOMORROW to hang out with my buddy. Single with friends is feeling pretty good at the moment. I usually have to force myself to get out and socialize so this is a welcomed exception.

Once you rep a post, that's it. You can only see the reps that people have sent you, not what you send out. Now, if you send visitor messages or private messages, you can see what you sent.

Yes, if you want to be able to see rep notes you have sent you would need to save them in a text file or something.
There is one cool trick that not too many people know about - which is you can see old rep notes that you have received on a post even after they scroll off your User CP. If you go to an old post of yours and click on the Rep icon (like you were going to leave yourself a rep note - fortunately the system doesn't allow you to talk to yourself) a little window will pop up and show the Thanks and old rep notes. The only problem is that it won't show who thanked or left you the rep note, but it is still kinda fun to see the old notes sometimes! :D

I also don't know why the thanks count wouldn't be accurate.
Hey, welcome back Rugged! Haven't seen you around in a long time I don't think.

The 'thanks' button is different than the rep button. Bully mentioned where the rep button is and I didn't know about the old reps, so thanks for that note!
One note for you is if you are going to leave a rep note AND thank the post publicly too, do the rep note first and then thanks. If you thank the post first, you won't be allowed to leave a rep note. Then you'd have to unthank the post, leave the rep note and than re-thank the post. Confused yet?
