Let's just say I like to believe in the idea of a soulmate/true love/love at 1st sight and such, but the reality is that you roll the dice & take your chances & hope for the best.

At this point in the race I'd settle for a buddy & partner that's more or less my equal & sees things the same way I do.

I guess I'm looking for a gun-toting lesbian with a 4x4 who doesn't mind getting dirty. Cheesy

Pluvo, I probably know a woman (whatever) who fits that description, but do you really, really want to go down that road?

My wife and I have been married for 42 years.We have been soul mates for a long time.When we first met,there were probably 10,000 reasons for this not to go anywheres,and only a few reasons for it to succeed.However,those few were so powerful that they pummelled the 10,000 into the ground!Life is full of mystery!

I dated quite a bit, screwed around a bit more, and found myself spending more and more time with a female friend, who happened to enjoy college football games, grilled foods, and didn't mind the guns (she went shooting a few times to see what it was like, but never came to enjoy it).  Anyways, when my father went into a coma after brain surgery for an aneurism, I called her, cried on her shoulder over the phone, and the next day, she was there. She burned up two weeks vacation to be with me until my dad died.  That's when I knew that if she was willing to hold my hand as I walked through hell, she'd be there for the long haul.

It'll be 10 years next May.  We've got a house, two kids, bills to pay, and she's still holding my hand, watching college football with me on the weekends.

If you've been friends first, and it feels right, take a chance.  It's better to know than to always wonder "what if..."

Sounds to me like Pluvo is a regular on that road and s/he is not who you think s/he is.

Well, looks like I'm now spoken for.

She didn't want to until she was folding my clothes (She wouldn't let me stop her) and then she thought, "I could do this forever."

Ahhh so in love.

Jack,

I've found mine. Don't sweat possibly finding her so young. I met mine my freshman year and we got married before our junior year. We're still as in love as we were a few years ago. In fact, I'd say our relationship is even better. Anyway, there are a few things I've noticed for success:

-You both REALLY know how to communicate with each other. And you're always willing to talk about serious stuff, even if one of you "doesn't feel like it." This is a two-way street that is 1/3 respect, 1/3 adoration and 1/3 love. It can be a pain in the ass but it is good to talk things out.
-She loves you and appreciates you for who you really are. Like for example, my girl thought it was sexy that I was cleaning my new .357 and listening to Reverend Horton Heat. She would never pull a trigger on a .357 nor does she like psychobilly. But she could appreciate the "scene".
-You find each other attractive. This is underrated by most people when talking about the "One". Seriously dude, you have to find her attractive or it really won't work. This includes being able to tell her that she is beautiful when she is 60 and really mean it.
-Each of you knows when to take a stand and when to give in. And if you aren't sure about the boundaries, see the above regarding communication.
-Neither of you keep tabs. There is nothing worse than a person who counts how many times they did the dishes vs. how many times you did the dishes.

I'm probably babbling but don't worry bro, you'll know.

Congrats Winston,  
When it's genuine, it's the greatest feeling on earth.

As stated before if you are sure your not filtering them through the "up on a pedestal" view.  Then your in good shape.

A far as living on a campus with contant temptation.  If your heart is in the right place, then there won't be any temptation.

If you are tempted.. then either she isn't the one for you, or you haven't matured enough to recognise when "the one" is in front of you.


BTW what schools do you and Charby go to?   Cheesy  60-70%  nice odds.

I went to Univeristy of Northern Iowa for undergrad and grad school.  You know the school that lost the Division I-AA championship game last fall.

Sorry, but nobody knows.  
I did grad work at James Madison University.  The school that won the Division 1-AA game in 2004.  Nobody knows if it isn't in the immediate area.
Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-accusations - APS homepage 3/4/05 - 5/20/05

Never ask a man where he is from. If he is from Texas he will tell you. If he isn't there's no need to embarass him.

Iowa State and U of Iowa students always refered to us as University of Nobody Important (UNI) so maybe its true. Smiley


...but they sure liked to come and party at our campus due to the numbers of female coeds.

It's good to see you have outlets, Jim; a way to exercise a little humor in safe company.

It is a necessary, healthy occurrance.

Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Winston -

Your life is demarcated into before gf; and with gf.

It occasionally happens that some also highlight the calender boldly: After gf.

Good luck.  After seeing the veneral diseases that came to inhabit sad souls out of shore leave @ Pattia Beach (one soul's tests came back positive w/23. . .). . .

Ah, the smell of true love, yes?

Take care (and bon appetit!).

More like what were their names?

I seem to attract the mental cases. Only two managed to cost me significant money before I learned my lesson.

I'm late to this party, but the reasons a couple GET together are not the same reasons that they STAY together.  I've been lucky, coming up on 29yrs.  I can reasonably say that neither of us is the same person we were when we tied the knot.

The person you become has a lot to do with who you're with during the journey.

Man this all sounds trite.  Guess I'll never be an author.

Seems like every day, I'm forced to add to the list of people who can just kiss my hairy ass.
