"Sorry.... but I just couldn't resist in jumping in here!
"
Saw some of your interesting posts on other threads and just KNEW you wouldn't be able to resist...
"your pic icon was the same as mine... A MAN! Are we being a little fuzzy on here? Anyone else notice that? Hmmmm...."
Last time I checked, I was a woman...but perhaps I was a man in a past life, because I think breaking wind is funny, am fascinated by power tools, and really get turned on by the smell of freshly-cut wood at the lumberyard...
"I really don't believe your statement that you met NO single guys in Calvert Co, your statement should read, I haven't met a single guy I like here!"
Of course saying there are NO single guys in Calvert Co. is a gross overstatement...and yes, the few single guys I HAVE met were NOT dating material even by my recently-lowered standards! In fact, there would be no "their side of the story" because we didn't even get past the acquaintance stage...LOL! (And I'm sure that even Catitude, for all her support of the guys in this county, would have run screaming in the opposite direction after the first 15 minutes!)
Remember that these "acquaintances" were spread out over the 2 years I've been here – contrary to your quick assumption, I have not been "pushing" anyone, and/or "desperately" seeking a date, a relationship, or whatever. My life, like most other people I know, is already extremely full – I work full time and single-parent my teenage daughter (who is a HANDFUL!) We own 2 horses and do the Pony Club thing, so that pretty much takes up most of my free time! I have a small circle of near and dear friends to socialize with, so I'm not a hermit...I just am ready to open myself up to the POSSIBILITY of a relationship by expanding my social life. If it happens, great; if not, then it's not the right time.
"Just maybe you'll have to lower your standards a bit and quite looking for Mr Perfect... cause he ISN'T OUT THERE!"
Came to that conclusion many years ago, and if I lower my standards any more, they'll be subterranean...don't believe in "Mr. Perfect," either...just want someone with a good sense of humor, likes kids and animals, zest for life, reasonably intelligent, and no MAJOR hangups. (or is that asking too much??)
"Cats? Herd? Sheesh.. and you wonder why you can't meet guys?"
My house usually has a "herd" of teenagers in it, too...(SHEESH!) At least I keep my litterboxes clean! (And if he can't deal with helping muck out horse stalls on occasion, forget it...) And did I mention that we also have 2 dogs, 2 rabbits, and a snake?? (SHEESH!)
So, perhaps I'm setting myself up for failure, because there ARE no single men out there who want to deal with all the stuff that is in my life/house...and if that's the case, then I guess I should just forget about it and one day I'll be one of those neurotic old ladies who die in their house and get eaten by their starving pets...LOL!
And to think that this whole discussion just started with the simple question of where to meet single guys in Calvert Co....(grin! chuckle! snort!)
