Bachelorette number 2
Ok, we had a list of all the TT ladies. We need a list of all the TT single ladies. We also need to make a list of all the single TT guys and put them into two different hats.

We draw a name from each hat and those two have to go on a date. I wonder what kind of odd pairings we could come up with...

newgirl - buddha bear
crazy mike - txwoodswoman
Sunshine - Marvin Gardens
bpbaby - Ice Tea
bacpac - sarabelle

I think he just wants to give her nightmares by suggesting it. I can't wait to see her indignant response.

Father Goose:

If you had a cyber-date, your wife need not find out, unless, of course, she knows your password.

crazy mike,

Maybe a cyber date is what I need?
Maybe I need to learn how to talk to women again before I take that first step and try to date? It`s been so long since I`ve held the hand of a woman that I wasn`t already in love with and I`m not sure if I would even know what to say to another woman in a situation like that.

I`d prolly bungle it badly and say something like this,.. Hello, I have worried so much about this moment and meeting you for the first time and here you are now and I can`t seem to find my tongue. I know now I should have written something down to jog my mind because when I look at you I`m helpless and my mind won`t work right.

You move your lips to speak and I know it will be my turn soon to say something to you, but my eyes fix themselves on your lips and I am lost in the way the corner of your lip curls just a bit as you smile like you seem to be doing right now and all of a sudden I realize you aren`t moving your lips anymore and I am still looking at them and I look up and see your eyes sparkle like diamonds catching the light and the way the light dances across your eyes catches my attention and I`m drawn with this desire to step closer to you so I can look deeper into the depths of your eyes.

Just then I notice the creamy, soft white skin of your neck and my eyes are drawn to your neck and I can see your heart beating and count the beats of your heart as your neck seems to pulse out at me and the rythem of my own heart beating seems to match that of yours, but my heart is beating so loud I hear it beating in my head, the sound grows stronger.

I try to catch my breath and muster up my courage as best I can because I don`t want to blow this. For the first time since I laid eyes on you I know what I want to say and just like that I give it my all.


Hello!


Nope,.. no dating for me just yet:( I don`t remember how to talk to a woman!

I guess I'm no better off than you Bigfoot, I would expect women to swoon if you actually voiced those words. ;-)

Good grief, Big Foot, that was great!

I don't think I would know what to do either.

I was never much of a smooth operator myself.

Hey Thanks!:)

I always knew what to say, but somehow from the moment I walked up to her and the actual words came out I got lost in my thoughts just because I was standing that close to what might turn out to be the love of my life, if I just didn`t blow it all:(

In first meetings we all notice those little things like that about a new love and it distracts us and our mission at the moment:)

In those first moments like that we tend not to think of how much this new love might hurt us, but rather how much they excite us and move us to do crazy things like walk up to them and confess our love.

It`s only as my mouth starts to open that I remember where I am and what I`m about to do and my mind goes blank:)

I trip over my mouth all the time. I've been trying to educate my wife for 28 years, that sometimes what comes out is not the best way to express what I was thinking.

Just don't get mad at the other person when they get mad about what you said. It is not like they can read your mind and know that you meant something else. Some people have a real problem admitting that they made a mistake and need to apologize. Between my husband and I, apologies really help smooth things over when a misunderstanding occurs. Also sometimes one of us gets really grumpy and needs to apologize for that. The other has to usually TELL the person that he/she is being grumpy, since it isn't usually obvious to them at the time. Remember that long term grumpiness can kill a marriage or relationship.

Big Foot, You are trying too hard. You are in love with being in love.

Women are people too.

Hey!!!LOL I`m alright! I haven`t been back and looked at this and I didn`t know I was the poster child for failed romances!LOL

I was in love with being in love and the right one can make that easy for you! She was/is something special and I wish her well in all things.

I no longer burn a candle in the window for her, I had to quit that `bout burned the house down:) I`m not going to try and lie to you and tell you I didn`t hope things would be different for a spell, but I don`t play those games with myself any longer.

I found someone that made me extreamly happy and it did help to have someone to talk to and dream with, but I just got done ending that too. I never dated her, but we shared some special times together and a lot of laughter.

The two of us will stay good friends, even though she wants more than that from me.

Can I count her as a first date?lol
