Well thanks, that's nice of you to say. I didn't even have to give you a big lick lock either. :D


Oh gee, what a loaded question. Are you sure you want me to answer?
I think there are multiple reasons, perhaps I should list them out.

1. If you are single, available, and I like you, then you don't think I'm "sweet".
2. I'm picky.
3. Poor social skills
4. Boring list of extracuricular activities.
5. Hard on the eyes.
6. I'm not a "ladies man" (smothie..etc)
7. I drive a truck (New Ranger FX4) I like it perhaps I should post a pic
8. Quiet (Relates to Item 3)
9. Not to interested in having kids. (This usually deters the women decribed in my other thread.) If you want to discuss PM me.
10. The abilitly to find someone with mutal intrests seems to be as easy as finding the holy grail or something. If I like them, they don't like me and vice versa.
11. I'm tired of getting burnt by these sort of things, so I avoid them like that plague. One of my goals was to see how many fix-ups that I could get out of. (7 in 2 years) in I remember right. So, it usually take someone pretty special to catch my attention. Kind of hard to get married when I refuse to meet people.

See, you asked!! :D
Lots of women like quite guys who drive pickup trucks. I doubt you are as hard in the eyes as you think you are, and even if you were down right ugly, the ugliest man can marry a beautiful woman if he is kind. Women are really, really into kindness, more than anything else.

Well lambslove, you are just so nice. Makes me want to put a big lip lock on you. :D (Don't worry I'll drop this lip lock theme soon!)

The last woman I knew, apparently she wasn't into kindness. I did everything in my power to be as nice to her and as genuine of a friend as I could be. It's a bad feeling when you put someone else as a priority in your life and take a genuine intrest in them. And when I say genuine, I mean genuine. When you admire them as a person, and for who they are and not for what they look like or what they have acquired in life. Then they say "thanks, but no thanks". That's a great feeling. :(

She didn't appreciate you for who you are and how you treated her. I'm ashamed to say I've done the same thing. It's not your fault, it's just that she wasn't seeing what you had to offer, only what she thought she wanted but didn't see. Shrug your shoulders and walk away knowing that one day, she might look back on you and think, "He's the one that got away."

I'm just really embarassed now. I hate to be personally the center of attention. :o

And, I feel icky about making this so public, inviting scorn when I fail or when he says he's not interested.

Let's just let it die out now...

Ok, if you wish, we will let it die. We will continue praying, but stop discussing. Just remember, if things don't work out as you like (I don't like to use fail), then we will be here to lift you up, and not pull you down further. That's what Christians are supposed to do. Be there for one another.

I couldn't do it. He was here and I couldn't ask him to go hiking or anything. I was just overcome by shiness.

:sigh:

Sorry to disappoint anyone, especially myself. I guess we all see why I'm not married...
Hey!! No used to :sigh: yet!! Tommorow is a new day, and maybe God had not prepared his heart yet. I get the feeling that you are tough as nails, just don't give up hope. . People are praying, so if God is in it, it will not fail!! I really want to see somone have some good luck with this relationship stuff. :)

Well maybe you froze for a reason. Perhaps it just wasn't the right time. I think once God has all the pieces together, this thing will slide right together!!

:prayer:
It's a pattern for me. If I like a guy, I can't talk to him. I freeze. If I can talk to a guy, it means I don't think of him romantically.

Pray that I break this silly pattern whether or not it ever leads to anything, because it's just plain silly that I should freeze up like that.

Oh lambslove, the lovesick school girl side of you is fighting with the older mature side of you. Kinda sweet, isn't it? :) I know what you mean though, I do the exact same thing with girls I like. It does suck, I know. I'm always afraid I will say something really stupid.

Still :prayer:
