virgin-burner 1 #51 August 19, 2008 Quote Quote 1. Common interests help, I think. (there's nothing like someone giving you shit on a Saturday if you want to go golfing, skydiving, etc. and the other wants go shopping together, winefests, etc.). Alone time is good, but when you think you'll spend 24/7 together when you don't have common interests, could cause some tension. 2. Financial equality. (My last relationship ended because I was getting VERY resentful paying for the majority of the "couples" stuff - vacations, etc.) I could go on and on and on with this one.3, Similar family backgrounds. Who else understands Italian families better than another Roman Catholic Italian? I forgot to add one more: 4. No bitching when I watch Goodfellas or one of The Godfathers for the 10,000,000th time. No exceptions! does that include skydiver-porn too!? then i fully agree! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not.

He has signed a contract agreeing to these rules, and we have been together for almost 1.5 yrs and not a single fight. yep... that's pretty much how it is...

nanook 1 #56 August 19, 2008 Quotehow would you define compatibility? some people feel not "whole" without a/their partner. i feel you should be content with yourself before entering a long lasting relationship. Yup, I agree. I believe you should be content with yourself first. I define compatibility as "ego-mesh". you and your S.O. has definite beliefs that do not clash. The said "hobbing error" may be in an area of no consequence. Now, if you have one of those "diffrential" relationships and it's not a Ford 9" rear-end. . . You know, She hates your over-bearing mother who used to tell you as a kid that brown eggs came from Mexican chickens, and always threatening to sell you to the Russians. And she believed for many years that her father was her super hero, till the day you have to point out it's not true . . .He's just a crazy man with a cape. You know. Something's going to frag here pretty soon. Not very compatible._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcd11235 0 #60 August 19, 2008 Quote All right, listen to me. You pull up right where she is, right? You go to get out of the car and you lock both doors. Then get out of the car, and you walk over to her, and bring her over to the car. Take out the key, put it in the lock, open the door for her, and you let her get in. Then you close the door for her. You walk around the back of the car, and you look through the rear window. If she doesn't reach over and lift up that button so you could get in, dump her. Just like that? Listen to me kid, if she doesn't reach over and lift up that button, so you could get in, that means she's a selfish broad, and all you've seen is the tip of the iceberg. You dump her, and you dump her fast. Thanks, Sonny. That sounds like a much better idea than the Mario test.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

It's kind of hard to test the door locks anymore because most cars have remote locks on the key fob. I have to say that JohnMitchell owns one of those old fashion Ford Escorts (stock) that have the manual roll down windows and the manual button locks (no key fob remote). He opens my door for me, I get in, and I reach over and unlock his door every time. It's the little things that matter most. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vskydiver 0 #66 August 19, 2008 Quote honey, you two are so out of this game anyway, i mean, you're not only here so all over each other as one hears even back in good ole europe, its actually sickening! I think I understood that! Yes, we've pretty much got it down by now. We're not sickening though. We're just happy. I think for some reason that makes people mad for some reason. I don't really get it. And why is it that we are an anomaly rather than the norm? If people are in a relationship why don't they show affection towards each other and make it known to one and all (especially each other) that they love each other? And what's wrong with showing a little PDA? I'd much rather see a couple kissing or holding hands than see them shouting at each other or glaring at each other.

virgin-burner 1 #67 August 20, 2008 it's really early here, so bare some patience with me.. and i think that's great! tell you what, those people are just jealous. completely agree about the affection part. i dont know what you mean with PDA (other than Personal Digital Assistant) tough. if i'm in love with someone, i cant leave my fingers from them. i'm even all over my good friends and get all touchy-touchy with them! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

PDA=Public Display of Affection Our kids are always screaming PDA at us. Although I'm sure they are happy that their parents kiss rather than fight. So, yes, your really early in the relationship. You can't keep your "fingers from" her. You have a brand new and magical relationship that is shiny and tingly. Why does that change over the course of months, years or marriage? Yes, people change but if you are in a relationship, shouldn't you be changing together? Shouldn't your goals and aspirations in life be the same from that point on? Shouldn't the tingle of love still be there over time? Shouldn't you still be happy every time he/she walks into the room and smiles at you? Why should that ever stop? If you are in a relationship I don't see why you should ever stop wanting to touch and kiss the other person. I'm always dismayed when I'm in a room full of married couples and John and I are the only ones holding hands or have our arms around each other.

virgin-burner 1 #69 August 20, 2008 i think we have a couple of misunderstandings here (thank god there's the internet, it makes life SO MUCH EASIER!! ): i'm not quite yet having a relationship. i know i want it, but dont want to push that cutie pie too much.. completely agree about the affection-part, i was always into the holding hands and kissing thing. but a lot of people dont feel comfortable with that. maybe they were raised a certain way, got some crooked morals from their parents, or simply dont know how to show their appreciation for each other n'all. maybe bad past experiences. which is sad. kinda missing out some important part (at least for you, john, and even me) of the relationship. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Just cuz he lives up here in the Great Northwest doesn't mean he's ever left. His heart is still deep in Texas. He'd probably live there now except he married a person that allergic to the sun.
