RomanceRe: How Did Your First Love Go? by topup: 2:33am On Aug 16, 2008
[color=#cc0066]I don't think I've met my first love yet. But only another relationship will let me know. Personally, I think during this type of relationship, the love is pretty much mutual, it is often 'ruined' by immaturity or distance. Only time will tell with me, I'll get back to ya then tongue[/color]

The bit in bold sums up how much interest you have for the game
lol
[color=#cc0066]Their first game (women's football) was vs North Korea which they lost. I guess we are only talking about the men's football and completely ignoring the womens (which does exist!!). The men are doing great so far and I wish the best for them. I check back every few days or so actually!![/color]

Guys have u noticed something? All the gals are predicting a win for CIV. Its either they like the Ivoriens ( is it the color of their jersey?) OR they are not getting attention from their guys because of the football so they want Nigeria out so their guys will give them attention! grin
[color=#cc0066]Wow, do you really think us that pathetic that we'd want our own team to fail so that 'your attentions can be on us again?' Well, I personally couldn't careless if everyone is obsesssing on football for the fact that I actually have always been able to keep myself occupied without guys,

Good luck to our guys, as long as they put all their best into it, I'll be proud. But I was surprised when I was checking the results and Nigeria lost their first game sad

[color=#cc0066]Sorry to be all 'girly' about this, but I'm just going to say randomly that Cote d'ivoire will win 2 - 1 ,

This is a complete guess. I hope I'm wrong, but Nigeria just seems to keep losing! It sucks! Surely we're not that bad, is it really because of lack of equipment and training? With this training and equipment, would we be significantly better?[/color]

[color=#cc0066]Unfortunately StephenP I must be 'that annoying person, who always has to butt in', yes I have heard a few actors and actresses call themselves artists or have been refered to as artists.

Simply because these ones are probably either conceited in their work or very passionate/emotional about it.

You can kinda see where they come from after all graduating from the 'School of Arts' and also many of them call themselves artists because they feel their talent doesn't just stop at acting; singing (though some of them should stick to keeping their mouths closed), dancing, I mean Jennifer Lopez would call herself an artist I guess, though she acts, sings, can dance etc, [/color]

[color=#cc0066]I don't know how you're going to find out the truth, but since there is nothing tying you down to this downwards heading relationship, why stay? And please don't say because you love her because love shouldn't include pain![/color]

RomanceRe: Men Kick Friendship. . . Women Treat It Like Glass by topup: 4:50am On Aug 15, 2008
[color=#cc0066]I actually truly appreciated chinenyeN's efforts to analyse a question that provokes several different responses. You can always choose to just skim across the surface and put togther a one-liner or actually do justice to the topic.

I personally believe that Women treat friendship with the uttermost care, we need friendship, whilst at times I feel that a man all he needs is companionship. I believe these two things are different. I have witnessed it even.

Have you ever been in one of those situations when two boys are introduced to each other,
Boy 1'You play Tennis?
Boy 2 'Nah, never tried it'
Boy 1 'How about playstation'
Boy 2 'Yeah, I have one at home'
Boy1 'Cool, do you play Pro Evo?"
Boy 2 'Yeah I do'
Boy 1 'Cool I have it, wanna play'
Boy 2 'Why not'
And the boys are left getting along and playing for hours, with the occasional, 'you suck' and 'dang I lost' being yelled. Summary, the boys only have to find one thing in common and they become suitable companions for that afternoon, they don't worry about tomorrow, or how the other friends will receive him , or what anyone will think about this courtship or whether the new guy meets the standards.

Two girls on the other hand ,

Girl 1 'Do you watch Sabrina the teenage witch'
Girl 2 'Not really, I watch saved by the bell instead'
Girl 1 'Oh, I used to watch that, but it got boring'
Girl 2 'Do you like putting on nail polish?'
Girl 1 'I'm not allowed, see?'
Girl 2 'Oh right, are your parents strict?'
Girl 1 'Kinda, I'm not allowed a boyfriend'
Girl 2 'Neither am I but I have one'
Girl 1 'Really, but that's going against your parents'
Girl 2 'I know, but I don't care'
Girl 1 (Gives girl two a disapproving look) 'Well, all I know is that I wouldn't do that. I really care about my parents'
Girl 2 'I do too, but I just don't want them to control my life' 'Do you like reading sugar magazine'
Girl 1 'Yeah when I have nothing else better to do, can I have a look at that issue. I haven't read it yet'
Girl 2 'Of course' Tosses magazine at girl 1 and walks over to choose nailpolish
At first Girl 1 and 2 are staying true to themselves, Girl 1 reads magazine whilst Girl 2 paints nailpolish. Over time they will both start mimicking each other. Girl 2 will probably start talking about boys and getting a boyfriend and Girl 1 will start thinking nail polish to be a very trendy necessity indeed. It's as if for girls to be friends we have to have everything in common with each other, love the same food, shop the same places, be into guys at the same time etc, Girls are pickier with their friends, and that's why we find friendship something to be handled with the uttermost care, we've found almost our female soulmates and we will do most things to try and keep them in our lives.

What's anybody's take my ideas?[/color]

ooooooooooh yeeeeaaaaaah

in this boi's case, it is an italian styleto, she is mixed, nice tone, great hair, beautiful proportions, she's like a hollywood runaway.

i was playing love on first class, she was the left eye and i was the right, and i aint frontin

but i just couldnt tell her those little three words, and whenever i think of it, i begin to wonder ,if i snoffed powder then.

oh well, its over right . . . .
[color=#cc0066]I was quite confused by this post, BUT did she leave on the basis that you couldn't say those three words? If so, then that's not such a terrible parting, who knows in future. Hate to give people false hope, but who knows, who actually knows what the future holds, smile in the meantime smiley[/color]
RomanceRe: Have You Ever Missed True Love? by topup: 2:37am On Aug 15, 2008
[color=#cc0066]Well, I loved him and said we should break up because it was obvious he wasn't ready to commit to me. I had hoped he would be like 'you made such a difference in my life, I need you' but that hasn't happened, so I'm moving on. When you love someone whole heatedly, you give a piece of your heart to the person, now is the time for me to recover that piece. Not sure if he was my true love, or more of my latest obsession tongue[/color]
RomanceRe: Big, Beautiful And Inspiring by topup: 1:40am On Aug 15, 2008
This is what I'm talking about, (Serena Williams)

But the most curvy woman I have seen to date is Mercy Johnson - and NO it's not just 'cos they're black, though it is in black women that I have seen the most amazing/extreme figures.

RomanceRe: Big, Beautiful And Inspiring by topup: 1:26am On Aug 15, 2008
[color=#cc0066]Curvy these days, is not the same as curvy in the past. Curvy refers to a woman who is NOT thin, curvy refers to a woman with fat, but in all the right places, it does not mean plus size, it genuinely means a woman who God has blessed with amazing curves in areas such as the bottom, breasts and slim at the waist. I read a magazine article where Charlize Theron said 'I love my curves', let's just say I laughed for a good 2 minutes tongue

I know it's a bit off the topic. But if I had to choose between being curvy or thin, I'd choose curvy anyday.[/color]

RomanceRe: Nice Guys Don't Get Laid by topup: 4:04am On Aug 14, 2008
[color=#cc0066]All these definitions are confusing me, most women think nice guys are just guys who don't play games.[/color]
RomanceRe: Nice Guys Don't Get Laid by topup: 3:04am On Aug 14, 2008
[color=#cc0066]I want a nice guy! But he can't be defensless. There is a difference between a nice guy and a baby! If I was to describe the guy I like, it'd be the perfect guy and no guy exists like that, any girl would opt for a nice guy than a bad guy in the way a guy treats her, though most girls are attracted to the go-getting attitude of a bad guy. I would like a guy who is assertive, has good morals, yes god fearing, good looking and caring. I don't simply want a player or a bad guy. And I thought it was the players who are always like 'baby, you mean the world to me' but you don't, I'm confused, nice guys rarely are all over the place, they are usually serious too, and passionate,

But yes, all of these are stereotypes.[/color]

[color=#cc0066]I don't have a hubby but when my ex used to do it, it meant he was going to throw me on the bed, and we'd kiss and cuddle, so yes it was romantic, BUT when my guy friends do it, they do it to tease me, though once a guy did it so that my shoes wouldn't get caught as we crossed a wooden bridge with gaps - how sweet. smiley[/color]
RomanceRe: My Girlfriend Enjoys Talking With Me The Bathroom While I Take A Dump! by topup: 2:36am On Aug 14, 2008
[color=#cc0066]I can't help but chuckle, she definitely has gotten too comfortable with you, but that's at least a good sign, that she feels comfortable, this is going to be hard to sort out. But try and approach this from a sensitive angle, that you don't feel comfortable with it, don't mention anything about her smells, close the bathroom door, play music in the bathroom or sing, or just ignore her, she should get the hint.[/color]
RomanceRe: My Girlfriend And I by topup: 2:32am On Aug 14, 2008
[color=#cc0066]This might not be what you want to hear but if someone wants to cheat you, they WILL cheat you, no matter how hard you try not to be cheated. What I mean is that, you can try and investigate, but if she tells you that she is so and so, you have to believe it or else the relationship isn't going to work. You have to give the person you're with the benefit of the doubt that they are giving you the same honesty as you are giving them back. There needs to be trust for a relationship, and until the person themselves has given you a reason to worry, don't listen to hear say, it'll do you no good.[/color]
RomanceRe: Getting Your Needs Met W/o Nagging! by topup: 10:48pm On Aug 13, 2008
sistawoman:
Maybe it is just that what i am asking for is not something that he is trained to do. He is romantic, I will not take that away from him but I NEED more time, more attention.

He works at night i work during the day.

I don't want to have to tell him that when my stomach cramps you should rub it. I don't want to tell him that when my back hurts he should offer to rub it. He does not need to tell me these things. I have told him I NEED a date night, just one night that he does not work, lets go to the movies, dinner, dancing, walk in the park, something outside of the house and away from the kids.

It may seem small to other but this is what he did to get me, now keep doing it.
[color=#cc0066]Oh I think I get it, it's now an issue of complacency. The problem with a marriage is that you can't threathen to leave for something like that (if you respect the oaths you took infront of God). I feel your pain (or used to feel it), when you try your best, tick all the boxes that men say makes a great woman and a woman they would do anything for. Well, I have a great feeling that this isn't about you, I think maybe your husband os only physically tired and he is compromising on his ability to satisfy you in order to cope. If this is a new job of his maybe you need to give him some time ot adjust to the workload, however, I am sure you have already talked this through with him. You can only pray that he takes on board what you're saying because it seems that you've tried all the sensible and mature options.

One thing I will say is maybe take the initiative, I understand you want him to initiate these things, but maybe you should try and guide him in the right direction. Though you hate to ask, ask, maybe it'll become habit and he'll start recognizing and soon you may start hearing 'hunny, do you want me to rub your back' maybe, book a table at your favourite restaurant. I highly doubt that once all preparations have been made, he'll turn you down.

You just have to take the necessary steps in pleasing youself, if he won't take the initiative. I hope you haven't relied in the stereotype that the man is responsible for certain things etc, maybe if he helped out more with the kids and at home, maybe you'd be also not have as high expectations in the romance section. Both of you should share these tasks equally, then you won't feel so taken for granted.

Hope your situation gets better. Sincerely.[/color]
