Journal NCalGal's Journal: Barely kissed, willing to tell... love life learnings... 27

Journal by NCalGal
Sigh..... OK so my Internet & phone instinct are not so great. Or maybe they are and I simply wanted something and was willing to take a 2600+mile trip 1 day, meet for 2 days, 2600+ mile trip back to find out, if I or we could 'make it happen'. I did find out and WHAM! nada, zip, what was I thinking, coocoo etc... One directional interest and towards me and not from me :( For inquiring minds...my learnings: 1) Do ignore your parents phone calls when they call when you are on an adult weekend (ever since the divorce they think they need to PARENT me more, like I'm 13 again). 2) Ask more specific questions about health habits. What does non-smoking mean?- could mean chewing tobacco... What does 1 maybe 2 drinks mean?- could mean needing a six pack just to make a pass 3) Do not live on one meal a day 4) ALWAYS eat chocolate when you crave it, so pack it when you travel 5) Being called "Darlin", is not so special. For some reason I was thinking about Alfalfa and Darla, and that I was Darla :( 6) Jet Fuel noise is no aphrodisiac 7) If someone is too nervous to love you, then it was never meant to be. It means your connections are at different levels and you should never have a relationship. 8) If someone hands you a token in the first 5 seconds of meeting, that signifies they have found their soulmate--Give it back straightaway and say 'wait and see'. Though I don't do cams, maybe i should consider it in the future...

  • Sometimes things are not meant to be. You don't really know until you meet in person. Something that I am waiting on these days...

    I know what you mean about parents. Ever since my divorce, my mother has been calling a lot more. If my youngest brother was not in fairly bad shape, she would be somthering me, I think. :-) Seriously, it's nice that she is concerned, but I am doing OK. Which she does not appear to believe.

    Chewing tobacco? Ugh. I guess that I'm not likely to run across a woman th

  • Not that looks are the end-all, be-all, and really, if the other stuff is there they are very UNimportant.

    But getting used to someone's looks and even seeing their mannerisms when they talk can reveal a lot about them and how you will feel about them when you meet face-to-face.

    Of course, I've never done any webcam interaction, but having met so many guys via the internet, I *definitely* know how it could be helpful.

    And "tobacco free" is a useful term to know, particularly when dealing with folks in t
  • to have given it a shot and found him lacking. Compared to 5200 miles of travel for a disappointing 2 days with someone, any other dating hardships are likely to seem trivial. I doubt that I would have done it, which is why I'm pretty sure it was the right thing to do. My romantic regrets are all things I didn't do.
  • I am curious how long had you talked to this guy online before deciding to take a trip that far?

    there is also skype, if you can manage to get sound to work properly ;) (i have to run my mic through a pre-amp to even get my voice loud enough that people can hear me)

    You won't have to be alone forever... but the reality is that most people are single for very good reasons. At least if you're looking at marriage and commitment as a way to 'add to' and 'enhance' your life. the truth of the matter is that many
  • You could have fallen for the guy, and then gone back home and cried because there is no way either of you could move to be with the other. At least that is kinda what happened to me; though instead of a he she was a she. Sadly aside from the useless story I have nothing to contribute.
  • That bites.

    Next time, you should come and visit ME! I'd treat you right, I swear. I don't chew anything (even gum), and we already know that we get along! Ok, so I'm a girl, but we would still have tons of fun. Who needs those stinky boys anyways...

    Will call to get all the details...

  • Back to speed dating...
  • Was it like a Chuck E. Cheese coin, or an arcade token? Details. Elaborate...
    • I'm gussing it's one of those fad break away necklace/charm bracelet kinda things that they sell for 12 year old girls to buy for their besest friends only in this case it's aimed at gf/bf relationships.

      bizarro way to try and convince someone who's made you feel good into trying to spend more time with you ;) and CLEARLY not something that works.
      • He handed me a celtic knot at the airport, when we first met. He has one on his neck and holds onto the twin and gives it to his soulmate. I cannot tell you how I felt at the airport when he handed this to me. It was as if I was never given a change to allow nature to take it's full course. sigh... after IM-ing this eve w/ him, he is sad and I feel like a rat. sigh... I would have so much preferred one of those chuck-e-cheesers instead.
        • Well, in that case it's more his own lack of judgment in deciding when/if a relationship is 'ready' to go to that 'next' level.

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_knot [wikipedia.org]

          since the knot itself is just ornamental the 'meaning' he put into it is something he, or other people on the internet have added, that was not originally a part of the celtic knot's history. so from that stand point it's no different from making any handmade craft, and saying 'keep this with me because i think we're soulmates.'
