1. Great job, making a move like that! Hey, progress is progress!

2. Next time you see her, get the darn number! lol I'm sure you can do it, good luck. Just ask her for it, don't seem like it's a big deal (even though we both know it IS!)

To answer your question: I am a male, and I would like nothing more than to have a wife and children at some point in the future. The idea of having children to raise sounds wonderful.

I've heard such a sentiment isn't that unique either. So there are other men who DO really want kids and a family! Hope that helps.

Also, I think the poster above me is dead on correct. Even though I'm a guy, if I were dating someone and I learned she did NOT want to have kids, I would have no second thoughts about ending the relationship. It's too important to me to ignore. And I know I canot change anyone else's mind on it either, nor do I want to.

Premarital counselling is great. They're paid to help you through that stage in life, so why not take advantage of it? A pastor or minister can be a cheap source of advice, but they tend to know what they're talking about, too.

First of all, congrats on getting her number! Smooth move, emit.

I've always heard that calling for a date should be about three or four days in advance. How reliable that information is, remains to be seen, however.

Any event, good luck and have fun!

They say that people tend to mirror those they like in body language, so it isn't inconceivable that they'd do the same with words and phrases.

Ok this is coming from a girl who works in a college library, and met and dated 2 people who asked her out while working in the library. The library is the place to meet people. Not everyone is studying here. We have lots of people who come just to check their e-mail, my space, or facebook. Plus if you think the girl behind the counter is cute, ask how to find a book.

 

I do think though that is possible to meet people anywhere, but I tend to be more interested in someone if they are doing things I like to do, e.g. checking out books, scanning the shelves in the library or a bookstore.

How can the library be a good place to meet people if you can't even talk? lol

Serious question.

And here was me thinking I wanted to study psychology simply because it would lead me onto a fulfilling career!

It won't! Trust me!

Been there, and although WoW is a good game, it is also DESIGNED to turn you into a pasty unhealthy little cave troll with no real life friends.

I have seen too many people sucked in by that game, it ruins lives.

 

I wouldnt reccomend it to anyone.

I agree. A friend's mother (ironically) got sucked into that game and now she never leaves her damned house! It's sad.

I'd say games like that are as troublesome as internet message boards.

Couples that live together prior to engagement (or marriage, of course) tend to divorce more often. Probably a variety of reasons behind it, but it's true.

I like four the most. Looks like the one I gave to someone before. Very nice.

I DO NOT WANT TO END UP LIKE THIS.

 

This thread really scares me. I don't know how I could handle living like that. I would probably be sad lonely hot looking man.

Me too.

But couldn't you use that fear to motivate you to act now, while you're still so young?

Batya, you could not pay me enough to hurl myself out of a plane, even for the most beautiful woman in this entire world! lol

Isn't that no different than running away? It won't get you what you want in the end, so why only make things more difficult on yourself in the long run?

Dude you're right. Why am I going to college? Why do I need a car when I'm just stuck in this small town? Why do I even need anything?

 

Screw being hobo, I want to go live in a developing country. Live a simple life.

Are you serious or just being cynical?

Because if you're serious, what's stopping you from doing that? If not, then I know where you're coming from. But that's a fatally unattractive attitude, trust me, and it probably won't get you very far with women.

Give it some time. You'll eventually tire of it. It gets boring... fast.

Yeah, gauging to see whether or not you're compatible is a waste of time. Better to just go out and sky dive. I guarantee neither of you will ever forget that experience... should you survive!

The internet is a huge waste of time.

Even the mindless ones with no point other than to kill/blow up your opponent? They don't take much concentration or interest.

Then become one.

If you envy someone, and can do so, emulate their qualities then.

Sure. Many times I hate the body I was given, and would love to change many aspects of it. But look on the bright side, you have a boyfriend, so you probably have no reason to feel down on yourself in the first place! AND he tells you you're beautiful! Believe him over yourself, because I'm sure he's right and you're not seeing things clearly at all!

Listen. Stop second guessing yourself. You'll do fine. Just believe it yourself!

I honestly don't know why I go to school myself either, but you can't get into that mindset. Just be sure of yourself and where you're headed. You know where you're going right? That's all that matters.

to Wilhelm: Thanks.. Nope, I don't have any flaws that people could see. I'm looking after myself, I'm pretty and smart (not trying to compliment myself here). Why I feel I'll never find anyone is because I haven't found anyone yet and I'm that old already. I mean teens go dating, and you have to search hard for any free guy among my peers. I know I have to make an effort and I try my best but I'm not the type of girl who would openly talk to the guys about being single. As I said before, I feel it's pathetic. No offence to anyone, btw=)

I... can relate. I feel older and older as time goes by too. I think, well if it hasn't happened yet, then why should this year be any different?

Keep your chin up, you'll find someone. Nay, let me say: He'll find you. You just need to stay positive. Hard, I know.

Do as I say, not as I do. Golden words to live by.

It's fun watching two people who clearly have the hots for each other, but don't want to admit it. It's so much fun.

Well, overall men value looks more than women do, but that doesn't mean women don't care about looks. They care, just not to the extent that men do. So if women care about it 80% of the time, men care about it 100% (not actual numbers, just an example I made up.) If women cared 100% of the time, men would care 120%. I know, I know.

Well, they would have to. I expect it.

But to be honest, I don't really want a relationship. It's not worth my time and what reason is there to desire one? Just because everyone else has one/wants one? Nah, not for me.
