  1. My family kinda made it into a day not just for couples but for anyone you love. I get Valentines from my parents and sister, so its not as lonely-feeling. I get the bah-humbug feeling as far as dating goes at Christmas time, and its a whole bloody month of it instead of just one day.
  2. I got a bit of a problem. I get regular migraines, and before, taking Exedrin worked to stop the migraine before it starts. My doctor said it was okay to do this and it worked well. However, at the time, I was drinking a lot of Pepsi, so the caffeine didn't really have any impact on me. I quit the stuff two months ago, and had a migraine last night. Without thinking, I took Exedrin as usual. I seem to be reacting badly to it since I don't have a tolerance for caffiene anymore. I've been awake ever since. ZERO sleep last night, another migraine today, and even though I have not taken any more exedrin, I feel like I am on a caffeine high or something. Its badtime and I really need some sleep! Any suggestions??? I'm tired, need sleep and I'm feeling very buzzed.
  3. Maybe there is something, yes. I am more shy, and if a guy I am interested in is flirting romantically with a lot of women, then I am turned off. I do understand male/female friendships, but if I feel like a line is being crossed then I lose interest in the guy. I start feeling like he is playing games with me or has a lot of girlfriends. I feel like one more notch in his belt instead of someone a bit special, and drop out of the picture.
  4. I find I have trouble doing eye contact with a cute guy if I don't know him. I can't say I really pay attention to where my eyes are going, but I do note that my eyes kinda dart quickly to his and away and back again. I think I look down AND/OR too the side. I relax a bit if I am talking to him, but when the talking stops, my eyes get all jumpy again!
  5. If you worry about the effects of tanning, you can buy a simple light box (about size of a book) that produces the same light that tricks your body into thinking its getting some sunlight (the eyes need to absorb the light to have the emotional benefit). What's wrong with looking like Caspar anyways?
  6. Anyways, Canadian weather aside... you can always keep making snowmen and sledding in mind should you get any snow.
  7. I'm a bit low on offline friends, but I have some great online friends You just need to go somewhere regularly with people who share your interests. Maybe try signing up for some activity classes? That way, even if you don't make friends, you have some fun and get fit or learn to cook or do some art or...
  8. I've heard those same statistics, but I figured it was because the cultures who do arranged marriages also frown heavily on divorce?
  9. Ditto. Waiting a few days makes me think you're not interested or you're playing games. Both of which is a turnoff for me.
  10. Pool hall... Chocolate cafe (Death by Chocolate for example)... Can't say we have that many iglooes either!
  11. Thanks Kevin. I'm looking forward to it after 2 weeks of emails. If he's half as fun offline as he is online, we got a winner
  12. I'm going on a first date this Saturday. We're both a bit shy, so we decided to do something fun and easy to break the ice a bit. We've narrowed it down to skating or bowling. We can stare at each other in a coffee shop after What else... going for walk, indoor rock climbing, video arcade, aquarium, cheap sports event...
  13. Not the best start and usually people behave their best in the beginning... I'd let it go and move on.
  14. Maybe she doesn't know how to break up with the bf so she's delaying it out of fear? She should just DO it, but how do you tell someone nicely that "you're an immature boy and I have a boyfriend now"
  15. I'd love to get some advice on that too... Also, how do you tell someone you like him as a friend and are not interested in anything more?
  16. I'm one of those weird people who just don't tan. I once spent 2 weeks in Hawaii, out in the sun every day without protection and came back the exact same colour (my Dad on the other hand, was wearing SPF30 and came back a bright red to the delight of his employees. "Lobster!"). I find I don't mind too much though, white skin and dark red hair is striking If I feel a bit too white, I like this Johnson's moisturizer with a touch of tanning stuff in it. Its very subtle, but it also means you won't make a mistake and suddenly turn orange.
  17. I second Charley's advise about the weight-comment. I think especially women will be offended if referred to as "chubby" even if you do like the shape. So don't mention the shape, just say you're attracted to her if you want to compliment her. As for rings, yeah, I like rings. I don't wear one on the "wedding finger" (traditionally in US and Canada, its on the left hand, but parts of Europe has it on the right... confusing eh?). Anyways, I do wear rings on my other fingers (I am a dragon lady!), and its perfectly acceptable to comment on a ring and see what she says about it.
  18. I'm somewhat in-between at 27. I prefer letting the guy take some initiative, but if I am having a good time or like him, I say so!
  19. I don't seem to have a physical "type" other than height, but I am attracted to intelligent, funny, geeky guys
  20. I hate using the phone myself. I never offer to call someone and I much prefer to have a coffee date or a online chat date instead of using a phone. For some women, it might be a safety thing... they don't want you tracking down their home address via the phone number...
  21. It sounds like a lovely idea except she won't be able to keep them... I like the idea of sending a silk rose and then giving her the real ones when she gets back. Plus, the silk rose would be a lovely romantic keepsake....
  22. Yeah, if you have low self-esteem, then you take more things as being "your fault." Its not just abuse, but even dealing with any difficult relationship, a good self-esteem is important. I suspect that those with a better self-esteem handle relationships better and move on in a more healthy way. Just a theory though.
