Need lots of things fixed around the house so would like a guy that is handy with his hands…mmmmm just teasn. I really must insist on a picture.

My perception of an ideal relationship: Mutal trust and respect. Lots of love and laughter. Who knows. f;ldfk'asdfsdfdfsfesfsdfasdfsd asdfljksdfk;sdfsfsdfsadsadfsadkf This is what I've learned from my past relationships: At my age I will not play mother to anyones kids. So if you have kids living at your home ( You do have a home I presume) under 18, sorry. If you do not have a reasonable track record of employment i will not be the one for you. You do not have to support me and I REFUSE TO SUPPORT YOU. Pls don't feel I am a bossy pushy female, I just don't want a man or kids to raise. - She's going to get replies because she's an attractive lady... Whatever I write had better get her attention and her strong interest to edge ahead of the competition and overcome... the... ohmygod... THE CHAIR! Now the hard part... paying real attention... how to frame this letter... hmmmmm... lemmesee now... she knows more about what she doesn't want than what she DOES want... you've heard me tell you that many many ladies think more in terms of how they've been hurt than an accepting frame of mind... and worse, she's gonna show whatever I write to her friends who also have their prejudices... Honesty IS the best policy... I'm honest... Let's see if we can add some sugar... I write... Dear ***, I choose you! I choose you because I have a strong feeling that you might really appreciate a grown-up fellow who has no craziness, no b-s, nothing that will insult your intelect or your person. I choose you because you are beautiful to me and my gut feeling that we might very much enjoy each other. Even so, I have concerns... your ad at meetmeonline.com presents some inconsistencies... Why list as Marietta when you live in Stone Mountain?... This is minor... The big question I am entertaining is this... Based on what she has included in her ad, can this lady set aside the jerks she has encountered and allow for the possibility of me being a stable guy who is trustable and doesn't need her to be anything but a loving and responsive woman? I don't think that you are bossy or pushy... just not interested in another like those you've encountered so far. I pay attention and I motivate from a loving standpoint... I am one ofthe nicest guys you will ever meet and sharper than most. Believe that I'd know what to do with you if I had you and I have sense enough to practice good stewardship. Even so, nobody's perfect... I suspect that all men are part Prince and part Frog. And, to help you to decide for yourself that ratio concerning me, I invite you to visit my web page at http://eiw.com/together/ Sometimes the best things in life come to us differently than we imagine. Your home might be nicer than mine, but mine is no shack, and it's paid for! My children consist of an eight year old Lhasa-Poo person named Candy who I have raised with love. I am single (yes I am REALLY divorced) because she developed mental illness and tried to shoot her brother. I assure you that I was not the author of any ofher troubles. So, now we find out if Harrison Ford is more important than a man who is truly capable of loving you if our chemistry is right... Would you be willing to visit my page which has a clear recent photo even if I told you that I will never mow the grass? Would you be willing to visit my page if I told you that while I know how to fix anything, it will take working together most of the time? No coffeehouse, too noisy... I'd want to hear you... A quiet restaurant would be better... I have no problem with treating you to dinner... Is it time for you to meet a guy who has no men or women angry with him because he hasn't hurt anyone? Is it time for you to want to help a man to be happy who will not only be attentive but who will respond to your needs? And, in spite of your past experiences, are you still able to risk a true intimacy with another? I am writing to you because I liked both your appearance and you writing which while not very revealing of you, shows a lot about your experiences and your attitudes. And, while not "Hollywood" beauty, you have a nice warm feminine appearance that makes me feel like you could easily qualify for being the most beautiful girl in the world.

Based on my batting average, I'm giving odds if you believe so strongly she'll respond that you're willing to bet! -------------------------------------------------------- A MEMORY AND A FANTASY... I KNOW the new millennium doesn't start until next year, but I want to make sure I'm the first to use this line... Why, I remember back in the last millennium... She had written the nicest profile I'd ever read! It was so beautiful that I read it over and over many times. She turned out to be seriously overweight and she wanted a man to love her for the beautiful person she is... She also knew that God would send her Mr Right to her. She talked about losing weight and stated her objective as, "Id like to lose weight and show men what their missing and can't have." We sparred by email for a while... this was almost a year ago... My briefly held fantasy was that she'd come back at me telling me she had trimmed down... chances are I would have kept her. Briefly held because of my hard learned rule that, "If they're not who you want them to be, they never come around." --------------------------------------------------------------- Previous LoveLetters can be read at http://eiw.com/loveletters/ Feel free to recommend LoveLetters to those of your friends to whom it may be helpful or entertaining... http://eiw.com/loveletters/ If you no longer wish to receive LoveLetters, send an email to me with "No More LoveLetters" as the subject. ----------------------------------------------------------- end of issue. |
