Philosoraptor Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I guess patience pays off because I've met an amazing woman. Beautiful, smart, kind, strong morals, a good head on her shoulders, etc. It feels like more than the above though as I haven't had these kind of butterflies in like 4 years. I dunno what it means and it's such an exciting but nerve wracking, thrilling but paralyzing feeling. Right now I just have a huge smile on my face but also have such a jumpy nervous feeling inside. I feel giddy like a kid again. We seem to have great chemistry and spend our time together smiling and laughing and not really having much of a break in conversation. I know it's ridiculous but after the first date all I thought was "this is the kind of girl I could marry". We've been out a more times now and have more planned for the future. I don't know what else to write. Just kind of bubbly right now is all. 24
mortensorchid Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 COngratulations! I hope something wonderful happens for you and this woman!
xpaperxcutx Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I think its time for the dinosaur mating call. :: animal noise:; 5
Author Philosoraptor Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Thanks for the well wishes. Things seem to be going well. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but it's been difficult.
Emilia Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 haha very sweet as usual. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FitChick Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Sounds like it's true that men decide very early on if a woman is worth marrying. Women, listen and learn! 2
Ruby Slippers Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I'm very happy for you!! And I say get your hopes up! This is what life is all about. I expect the best for you. And no matter what, you've met someone wonderful - if it can happen once, it can happen again. So you'll be fine, come what may.
Author Philosoraptor Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Sounds like it's true that men decide very early on if a woman is worth marrying. Women, listen and learn! Eh, not sure I'm a good candidate to base this off of. I don't play the dating "game" very well and generally show all my cards. If I'm interested I'll let you know and if not I'll part ways. Life is too short to play games. I'm very happy for you!! And I say get your hopes up! This is what life is all about. I expect the best for you. And no matter what, you've met someone wonderful - if it can happen once, it can happen again. So you'll be fine, come what may. Well I'm very excited if nothing else. And that's how I take it, I met someone great and have some really great dates with her. Who knows what the future holds so I'll just enjoy everything right now and let life happen. 1

Lil1 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 So happy to hear you found somebody worthy Philosoraptor! I hope everything works out well for both of you, she is a lucky woman!! Congrats!:bunny:

Author Philosoraptor Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 This is the way to go if you want quality though. Well done That's what I've learned over time. Good things come to those who wait.
Author Philosoraptor Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 Where did you meet? Actually found her online. She just seemed to be someone with a good heart and was happy with herself. Actually met out at a local attraction, started talking and ended up chatting for hours.
TaraMaiden Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 You give out a great deal of sound, logical, level-headed and worthy advice to others here, Philo.... Now see if you can follow it..... I'm thrilled for you, I truly am. Thumbs up mate, good one. Lucky gal.
Author Philosoraptor Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 Good news, my friend! Am glad for you Thank you You give out a great deal of sound, logical, level-headed and worthy advice to others here, Philo.... Now see if you can follow it..... I'm thrilled for you, I truly am. Thumbs up mate, good one. Lucky gal. I've been good about following my own advice. No games being played and just doing what feels right and what will make me happy. Things are still going great
wordrock Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 In the same situation, more or less. Been noticing elderly couples with big smiles watching us walk and talk together. Must be doing something right. Good luck, mate! Sounds like it's true that men decide very early on if a woman is worth marrying. Women, listen and learn! I feel that is generally true. The only thing I can pinpoint other than physical attraction is character. I don't think all men look for one specific type, as people marry for all sorts of reason, but ideally they look for one that just gives them the right feeling... whatever that means. Felt that way about my ex and I feel that way about the woman I'm seeing now... no intention of saying anything about it anytime soon though. Still too early to tell whether we'll make it that far, but here's to hoping.
Eternal Sunshine Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Ah, I envy you guys. Wish it would happen to me
Author Philosoraptor Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 Ah, I envy you guys. Wish it would happen to me I've found that the key to finding better matches is just being patient and not settling at all. Do what feels right and what makes you happy and you will never let yourself down. 2
