Years ago........I used to be a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of dr. laura.  I finally had to quit listening to her because of her language (I had/have Very YOUNG impressionable kids and I didn't want them to know it was OK to cuss, because it's unacceptable in this house!!)

Anyway, she had a letter from a listener that put in a "nice guy" ad in a singles ad paper.  He said things like he just wanted to love and cherish a lady and have a family.  Stated he would treat her nice and provide for her properly, etc etc etc...........just went out of his way to emphasize his "nice guy" persona!!!

He got ZERO Responses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same guy??  Puts a NEW ad in the singles ad paper and said "Straight out of prison and going to rehab, AA, NA, etc"  I have cheated on my wife and am wanted for embezzlement and there's probably a warrant out for my arrest!!

He got 35 (yes THIRTY FIVE) responses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just goes to prove your point, John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then am I the only one who does go for nice guys? I wouldn't answer singles ads because I don't like the 'game', but I'm more inclined to talk to nice guys rather that guys who exude the 'rebel without a cause' vibe...they're a walking heartbreak waiting to happen

God's watchin' you. In His time you will fall in love and stay there. I know it is hard to wait but it will be well worth it.

:hyper:  it's really hard to wait.  *sigh*  I kept hearing them announce about a baby from my church was just born.  My Sis told me that it was the baby of someone I went to school with.  :roll:  Why are all my friends from school all married with kids already and I'm not?  I was the one everyone thought had it all together.  lol.  I'd italicise or whatever the word thought, but I'm too lazy.  lol

Maybe they rushed into it and it won't be a great marriage further down the line. Just wait and you will have a perfect one.

Ashlee, I totally understand how you feel. But... when I'm realistic about all those friends of mine that married young, it's scary to me to look around and see how many of them have already divorced. Sometimes even two or three times. And right now, I can't even tell you how extremely glad I am that I wasn't in a hurry.

God's gifts are never second-best.

I need to start a new investigations thread..we had a Lady visiting at church yesterday that is single, and a young cousin to our pastor's wife.. I went over that way before service, and joked a bit.

Initially, I was 'bah, humbug' and wasn't going to follow up, but decided to go over after service and talk to her..as we had a missionary service, responsibilities with pastor on stuff meant she was gone before I got through.

But, who did I see over there after service? You guessed it, he of even more bah humbugs about women than me, could he be the Playa of the Summah? Nwlife.

Come to think of it, he left the church before I did..hmmmmmm

1. I wasn't feeling good.
2. there were 2 cousins, 1 married, 1 not married
2.  I thought that the single cousin was only about 15... (She was cute, wore very stylish frames, long blond hair that was down to her knees *melts in awe at the hair*)
Do you mean  to tell me she was older?? :o

well Joel did keep insisting on me joining them for dinner at the restuarant.....

But I had went home to rest a bit, and then went to service at a friends church where I got to see a missionary to the muslims.

   The younger (single) of the two sisters is 22, I was told. That was (I think,) the one with the fabulous hair. The older, married sister is 24, Holly also told me.

GRRRRRR...     

seems like Every time i see someone I think is in the proper age range, she isn't.....then if I think she isn't in the proper age range, she IS.... :frustrated:

There is always hope maybe that she will remain single and unattached and return for a family trip back to macalester within the next year..
At least now I could say and not be completely out of line.....She was Hot!!!!

I know what you mean re school friends with kids! I see/hear about it and inwardly go 'woah nelly' I mean... I knew what these people were like in hs and now they've got kids?! Sometimes I think my emotional mentality/growth may be stunted.

But, Lady Chris,

   If both you and Lady Ash do get married, there are two VERY fortunate men out there, walking the face of the Earth!

Had a crush on her when I was alot younger.. :)

Hmmm.....Not sure which relative of the pastor lives in Ark.   Didn't know they had any relatives there.   Though it wouldn't be hard to hogtie ole' joel to force the info out of him, or just sweetly ask sis price the next time I visit.
