Again near the back entrance of the food court at my local shopping mall... Two ladies (good looking, I'd have taken either one (subject to discovery of their personalities)) walk into the mall... one comes back out and tries to hand me a dollar... No kid with her and she's not wearing a ring... I decide to be brave!... "Darlin' I don't need money, but if you believe that being truly loved is very important to you and you believe in loving in return-- I'd like to take you to dinner!", smiling I sez... Drawing her arms close to her body and in a very tight-lipped manner she sez, "Uh... Excuse me." and then she quickly dashes back inside. Whaddaya think would be best?... A tin cup and some pencils or apples or an old army camoflauge jacket and dark glasses? :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- NEVER TRUST "AVERAGE"... I know I've mentioned this before, but :)... Her personal at aol.com says her body type is "average", then lists her height and weight as 5'3" and 240 pounds. ---------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATES ON "THE SEARCH"... Last Monday my lady friend chess player told me about a lady who said she'd like to meet me and I mentioned this in the last LoveLetter... She did not call. The other night I spoke for about twenty minutes to an attractive lady... Yeh, I tried to "hit on her" (for our foriegn readers this slang means approach her with intentions of getting her to date me)... She told me that she has been dating a man she dearly loves and she is sure he loves her for more than four years... I asked her if he really loves her why he won't commit... She explained that it's her... You guessed it... She was so hurt before that... (you know the rest)... Every time I'm near an attractive lady for a bit, I get such a nice feeling just from being in her presence... I felt so nice that evening that when I got home I scanned about 400 personals and sent six letters... How do I explain to you why I was so happy to get the two responses I received?... True, one was a rejection saying that she was already dating someone; and the other was a note saying she couldn't find my together page website (my server was down for a short period to install software upgrades)... I answered the second with the explanation and asked her to please try it again... So why was I happy?... Y'see, when your batting average is as bad as mine is, you get happy to get rejections because they prove your e-mail software is working ok! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LADIES WHO DON'T KNOW HOW (OR WHAT) TO COUNT... The counter at http://eiw.com/together/ now exceeds 300... I think you'll pretty much agree with me that the biggest fear a lady has when she learns that I use a chair is, "What will my life be like if I tie up with this one?"... She has to be relating this to various activities she thinks she'll be deprived of as a result of the relationship... In a sense she may be right, but she's not... I own that there are SOME things I can't easily do now, but most of 'em I didn't do when I had feet... I carefully avoid responding to gals who are tennis players or golfers, and to those who say that international travel is important to them... You get the idea... I only respond to those who's ads make me think that I won't "rain on their parade"... Certainly there may be things they didn't mention but if they didn't mention these things, chances are that they do these things for a limited number of days each year... Here's where the counting part comes in... A lady does something I can't do, say a couple days monthly... 24 days yearly... She uses this as a criteria for rejecting a guy who could help her to be happy for 345 days a year? --------------------------------------------------------------------- DATING SAFETY ON INTERNET DATING SITES... So far no lady has told me of any experience with any man she met on the internet in which she felt afraid for her personal safety... I've heard about lots of jerks, crazies, big children, those who would like to be dependant, and those who are not truthful about their marital status or other things... The commonly stated good cautions apply, like meeting at a public place, etc... As for the losers (in one way or another), they show themselves fairly soon... The liars aren't too hard to figure out if you're paying atention... Why was it that they said you couldn't call them at home? Ticks me that I hear so many stories about these guys from ladies who wouldn't consider giving me a chance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL THEM LONG-DISTANCE FOR FREE FROM YOUR COMPUTER... You can make toll free telephone calls from anywhere in the US to a regular telephone anywhere in the US using your computer, sound card and speakers and a microphone... And, you don't have to install any special software... You do need to be running Navigator 4+ or Explorer 4+ as your internet browser. http://www.dialpad.com I have made several tests with this service and the quality can vary with internet conditions, but is generally good. They don't have to be on the internet! --------------------------------------------------------------- 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. |
