Honestly, I never believed in meeting people online. I personally much, much prefer to meet women in person. With the current lifestyle and work, however, it’s hard to meet people in person so I figured i’d try online dating. Got out of a 3 years relationship with someone that I once thought I’d propose to so took a while for me to get over it and worked on personal development. Went on some dates as well as turning down some. Recently I decided that I’m ready to really start dating again. I see some attractive ladies around work but it’s the workplace so always a bit iffy.

damn, sorry to hear that man, 3 years is definitely long - look at it on the bright side though, at least you guys figured it wouldn't work out before any longer lasting things happened.

Thanks man. Previous one was 4 years so those alone were 7 years of my life. Starting to think maybe it’s me. Lol

But seriously, things happen for a reason. Just keep calm and carry on. Things will work out.

So it certainly does work for some!
Yes, I met my wife on Christian Mingle (before it changed - understand it is very far from "Christian" now), dated for about 2-3 years and then got married in 2009.

So it definitely works for some. I think in my case though, she was never going to sign up, it was her sister that basically pressured her into signing up for a few weeks on a dare or something from what I remember. I just got lucky.

Be interesting if this remained the case if you released her from those handcuffs chained to the water heater.



No, I know what you are saying. Coming at it from my Christian viewpoint, I just see it as part of God's plan, for me and her. You think about the window (it was in my case only supposed to be 2 weeks or something and then she was going to delete the account), so I had to be looking in that window of time and on the right site (since that was the only one she was on) and also find her out of all the others...pretty narrow odds. Unless you believe that God has a plan for your life.

I just can't even imagine the stories you would tell in person. I'd probably laugh so hard I'd fall off my chair.

I'll be honest, even I am surprised at much of what comes out of my mouth. Most times, it's the first time I'm hearing it too.

So I'm up in whistler BC right now with some guys from work. All well into our 40s. All married. A fun but pretty tame crew. Got done skiing and hit the hot tub at the condo. Patio for the condo next door is 15 feet away. No fence. Out walks this super hot chick. Maybe 25. Having a smoke break. She's in a bathrobe but it's not tied closed. She just turns to us and strikes up a casual convo. Fully nude. "How you guys doing? How was the snow today?" Bathrobe wide open. She's like "oops. Well I guess I'll just flash you." Talked to us for like 5 minutes, bathrobe wide open. Wtf! It was so awesome!!! Made this old married dudes day.
Rental.

Funny, this is what I used to tell my sales reps.....you know, when I wasn't whispering other things in their ears.

I used to teach them how to back people into a corner and bash them over the head with the closing hammer. Always loved using psychology as a means for closing. "Tell me about the last time you purchased XYZ.....tell me about that experience." "Wouldn't you agreee that blah blah blah" "What if I could save you time and money."

Gah, I miss sales

What I don't miss about sales is my pay being dependent on emotions.....and not mine. Chargebacks, BRE and 30 day return policy can wreak havoc in the event that a rep can't overcome obstacles and challenge a return.

Do you play actual chess? I can't say I'm very good at it, but it is a game I enjoy - currently playing some people from my old church online. Like a 3 day window to make your move so there is no time crunch. If interested, let me know.

I do like playing chess. I taught myself at an early age and was on the grade school chess team at age 5.

I like to think to think I'm somewhat decent at it but haven't in years. I will say that the last time I did was about 10 years ago and had my ass handed to me.....I got beat in a game chess shortly after that too.

Well if you are interested, sign up for chess.com (just the free basic membership thing) and let me know your username and I'll send you a challenge.

I use the term "challenge" figuratively of course. I too used to play in school, but that was a long time ago and since then I maybe get a game in every 5 years or so except for the last 3 months where I signed up for the app above and started playing much more frequently.

I forgot how much I enjoyed it.
