If you want I could do your chart and maybe Rebecca's too, then I could partner you together and see if you are a good "love" match. Hell if you charts read good together you could just skipped the dating thing and get married..j/k By the way what sign are you anyway? No it's not a pick up line, unless you want it to be lol...

 

You'd do a chart for me? That's really sweet of you. My sign is Sagittarius (Dec. 18th) and I think a large percentage of my sign description is accurate. I know some skeptics like to have a field-day debunking astrology, but I find its fundamentals to be very interesting. Someone at work is into astrology and they said, "She's a Scorpio? That's great!" I was like, "Yeah, it is...huh?". Lol. If it isn't too much trouble and you don't mind, I'd love to have a chart done. It's totally up to you, and I appreciate the offer.

 

P.S. It can be a pick-up line, if you like. I certainly wouldn't mind. :)

Hey Melissa, my day has been pretty good - how about yours? Have any trick-or-treaters tonight? Yeah, I've thought about her a little today *coughs on that lie*. Ok, a lot. Lol. If I hadn't e-mailed her about lunch Friday, you could bet that I'd be asking her out tomorrow. I can't wait to see her, though. I have a few funny stories that I'm sure she'll like, including me chasing my pumpkins down the road after they got blown over. The last couple of nights as I was laying in bed, I've been wondering if she's been thinking of me. And no, I swear I'm not worrying or overanalyzing anything. It's just a nice feeling to know that you could be on someone's mind. :)

I was born on 12-18-79 in Stony Brook, NY at just after midnight (12 something in the morning). Do you need the exact time? Thanks again.

I hope someone debunked this somewhere along the way:

 

But realize if you're 24, most people your age do have kids, eh?

 

Not where I live. In fact, I'm 30 and hardly anyone I'm friends with has kids. Heck, hardly anyone I know has kids.

 

My brother is 25 and realizes that most single women out there have (usually by age 25) had kids and probably been divorced.

 

Most single women have kids and have probably been divorced by 25???

 

Are you serious? Where do you live?

 

Face it, you often times deal with slim pickens as you get older.

 

Not true. Not true at all.

 

I'm not against dating someone with kids, but I prefer not to. In the end, it's your own decision. But don't just do it because you are worried "pickings are slim." They aren't.

If possible I need the exact time so it could be a completely accurate chart!

Thanks for the post, clia. Her having kids doesn't bother me - in fact, I kind of like the idea of possibly being a father-figure to them. I've always liked kids, and they usually seem to like me (for whatever reason. lol). She's an incredible girl and I will consider myself incredibly lucky if she gives me a chance. It has to be tough raising two sons on her own, and I would love to be able to help out with that. But I have to get past Thursday first, because such notions may be a moot point if she's not interested in a romantic relationship with me.

I had to call my Mom to get the answer, but it was 12:36 AM. I hope my chart has a positive outlook for me. :cool:

Hey there! So u had to chase after your pumpkins, huh?Funny! i would have loved to have seen that sight..i would have died of laughter! So..u thought of her lots, huh? Surprise, Surprise! It is nice having someone to think of isnt it? And it's even nicer when someone is thinking of you as well..makes u feel all nice inside!

 

We had a pretty interesting evening. Lots of little kids dressed up as princesses, witches, it was real cute...there was this one little girl dressed up as a pumpkin..as cute as can be..i let her take as much candy as she wanted. Let's see...it was pretty quiet around here..except for the fact that some kids went around stealing pumpkins off people's front doors. All the sudden, u see people outside looking for their pumpkins, wandering around the house..then u see their neighbor doing the same. Before u know it...we were all outside looking for our pumpkins. Ours was taken as well. Too make a long story short, pumpkins were recovered. Hidden behind some trees and bushes at a park we have in the community...there must have been 30 pumpkins there...it was soo funny..needless to say the pumpkin bandits got caught!

 

So...i see u were born in stonybrook, NY, i was born in huntington , ny..about 25 minutes from stonybrook. I grew up on long island. I moved here to florida about 4 years ago. Small world, huh, my brother was born at stonybrook hospital also.

 

So...i bet ur excited for tomorrow, i would be too...im excited for you. I'm sure you'll both have some interesting stories to tell each other. Good excuse to talk to her...halloween, ur pumpkin chasing, her kids..I see it all working out....before u know it..you'll be posting ..saying....We're inlove..the wedding is in two months...yeah well..all i can say is...i better get invited. Especially after all the work i have put into this! I feel like im the one waiting for the date! LOL

 

tomorrow will be a wonderful day..and if it feels good...i say go for it..ask her out!

It is indeed a small world. It's always nice to meet a fellow LIer, and I hope you enjoy Florida as much as I enjoy Kentucky. If there is a wedding, you're definitely invited - the airfare and accomodations will be on me. I think I have a little work to do between now and then, though. Lol. I have plenty to talk about with her tomorrow, and I'm definitely excited. I think some significant ice was broken Friday and I think she will become more and more comfortable as I continue to drop by.

 

There is an outside chance that I will ask her out tomorrow. I just didn't think that would be such a good idea coming on the heels of Friday's lunch invitation. I thought I'd give her a few days to respond to that e-mail first. Regardless if she replies, though, I'm still asking the big question this week. People tell me I have really nice eyes, so hopefully I can get my "I hope you say yes" look going. Lol. It's speculative, but based on how she looks at me and what she has said about me to her boss, I almost wonder if she wants me to ask her out? The week will certainly be an eventful one - both our country and my life could be going in entirely new directions, though I doubt most U.S. citizens care about the latter. Lol.

 

I'm glad you had a good Halloween. Next time my pumpkins get blown, I'll let you know. Man, that came out wrong. :)

 

P.S. Hey, look what my Google search turned up - apparently my ideal love match is a Scorpio. I like the sound of that!

Melissa - does it really matter that I invited her to lunch Friday? If not, I may just go for it today while we are talking. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Well, she didn't write back Friday and I'm pretty sure she worked late. I think I may just ask her out later today - what do I have to lose? The answer will be the same today or Thursday.

Posted

I think you should give her till this afternoon to write back. If she doesnt..then i would ask her to lunch before you leave today. On ur way out the door or a little bit before u leave, go over and ask her. She may have had a long weekend and forgotten about it...give it the day..and if nothing by later this afternoon. Go for it!1 and yes, it;s not going to make a difference whether u ask today or next year the answer is the same!!!

 

and no..there's nothing wrong with asking her today...u are not being pushy..so dont worry about it@!!

 

good luck :)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, Melissa. I may hold off on asking her out today because they upgraded our computer systems over the weekend and many folks are having problems. That frustration on top of what will already be a busy Monday may make for some bad timing. I still plan to ask her how her weekend was before I go home, but I'm thinking I might wanna hold off on the big question until Wednesday or Thursday, as originally planned.

 

P.S. Her inconsistent e-mail replies is the only thing that concerns me right now, and I guess that's not such a big deal. Not everyone checks it every ten minutes like me. Lol.

I was going to do it today, but apparently she had to leave early to pick up her son who isn't feeling well. Looks like I'll have to calm my nerves, regroup, and try again on Wednesday. :(

Posted

Oh well! That stinks! Well...that's the way the cookie crumbles. like u said...calm ur nerves, regroup and then go for it ...that is if everything is ok on wed...in regards to her on wed. See how everything goes and then feel it out!

 

I now how nervous u must feel..but the time will arrive soon enought. Until then..relax and take it easy

Thanks, Melissa - you always make me feel better. Every day will seem like an eternity until I finally get to ask her. I think I can make a positive out of today, though. Her boss says that she doesn't have a lot of sick time and has to sometimes work long hours to make up for being out for her kids. I, on the other hand, have a ton of sick time. I plan on telling her that I would be more than happy to donate some of mine if she ever needs it, as I'm sure she would much rather be home with her little ones than working late at night to make up time.

 

Also, for what it's worth, her boss is very confident that she will say "yes". She apparently thinks I'm really nice and enjoys talking to me, so I was definitely glad to hear that. Of course that's just his opinion and I can't let that get my hopes up too much.

 

By the way, I would love to relax and actually not think about her for awhile. Have any tips how I can do that? It seems like watching TV doesn't work, as I begin to daydream. Lol.

Melissa & Amberaine - would it be ok if I e-mailed you both sometime? You both have been so sweet to help me through all of this, and I would love to keep in touch outside of these boards. If you don't mind me having your e-mail addresses, just send me a PM. Thanks so much. :)

I asked her today and she told me that she's seeing someone else. Apparently her boss didn't know about that. Thanks for all of your support with this thread.

NOOOOOOOOOO........I hate unhappy endings, but maybe this is only the twist in the story... Sorry it is her loss, I cant imagine someone being more thoughtful and considerate than you have been thru this. Keep in Touch :(

:eek:

 

:confused:

...at least you tired.....

She wrote me an e-mail saying how bad she felt and that she wanted to remain friends. I gave her my # and told her that she's more than welcome to call me anytime, though I doubt she will. Because things with this other guy aren't serious, I do have the opportunity by making one final sentimental push on her birthday, but I'm not one to "compete" with other guys. I did open up to her and tell her how I felt, so at least she knows. I think I gave it my best shot.

Posted

This sucks!!! I am so surprised! I Hate this! I did not see that comming!!!! :mad:

IT IS HER LOSS!!!! There is someone out there that is much better suited for you, and you'll find her!

I know u say ur one not to compete..especially with another guy. I agree..u shouldnt have to compete for her! Hey, u laid it on the line and she knows. That's all u can do! I cant believe she didnt say anything sooner, like when u sent her the first email and asked her to lunch. I cant believe her boss didnt know..or anyone for that matter! Usually, if someone is dating someone...somebody...in the office..friends, boss or someone knows something. Hmmm...interesting. Oh well...like i said...her loss. Just let things go the way they are and move on. I know its easier said than done....but ...that's life! Don't worry..i'll make u laugh..enough to keep ur mind off of her temporarily.
