Smilecharmer Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 The beach can be very romantic. Do not, I repeat, do not have sex in the sand. Very itchy and stingy. Take a blanket, not a few towels. Trust me on this one. 2
Polak Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I've been following along on this thread for a week or so now, and have to chime in... Target, I'm proud of you bro! Being yourself and taking things at a good pace is what it's all about, I'm glad you found your girl (even though she technically found you haha). Regardless of the circumstances of how you two met, this is the stuff I rarely see on LS and I wish I could read more of. I agree with the others that I feel like I'm taking a happy pill every time you give us an update! It's pretty awesome. Enjoy yourself!!! 3
HappyLove Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 This is how dating used to be and should be. None of this multi dating crap and seeing who's the better option and meeting up for coffee five times a week with 5 different people. People dating for 6 months and still can't even call someone their bf/gf. No one can say Target is moving too fast because people who keep so many options open are the ones who are going nowhere fast. Your love story is how it was in a simpler time and it's giving many of us out here hope because at the end of the day don't we all want someone who isn't playing games and thinks we are so special that they know the search is over relatively soon?! Very happy for you! 8

Very happy for you! Yep....VERY eloquently put, couldn't have said it better myself. My parents are of the old-school variety, and they shake their heads at the pathetic dating methods these days. When they met, they had a fun time, got along well, laughed, and had similar beliefs. They can't believe how some single people these days are complicating the dating situation and have found it quite pathetic how people are under such scrutiny or even FINDING fault to stop dating someone or not date them at all. Basically, back then, and in Target's situation, "Boy meets girl, they have a great time, get along, and it happens organically". None of this worrying about, "Should I wait 3 days to call her" crap or "Hm, how should I approach her?" or this "It's all in your approach" so-called dating advice I am sick of seeing. 3

I will keep you posted as it it progresses as its nice to see it brings as much joy to read as for me to tell it 5
Author Targetlock Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 We didn't go to the beach because the weather wasn't that great, so we had another lovely night in. I am hopefully taking her to see my parents this week, never done it before so exciting 5
TigerLilly78 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 I think that's the other way around. The guys just might BE nice here, but the women have to realize they are nice and give them a chance. The girl researched Target and sought him out. Target was simply being himself. Ive seen alot of bitter almost down right hateful men on here Target although he had his struggles like the rest of the guys never seamed to be like that nor was he overly judgmental or nasty to anyone hence my comment! But enough negivity this thread isent for that Target high five glad to hear things still ticking along well for you guys! I made my move and am happy looks like I might be kissing single life good buy as well soon..seams its a good summer for relationships all around... 4

Very happy for you! You know...the more I read paragraphs like these with regards to dating in the past, the more I'm convinced that I was born in the wrong era. ^^ Experiencing something that happens organically as it did in the past would be most welcome, and would certainly feel like a breath of fresh air compared to the dating culture these days which make me shake my head. 1

Congratulations hope it goes well, nice to see someone having similar luck. Teraskas, i know the feeling as i believe i have old school values and ideals about this sort of thing but hopefully like me you will find someone who appreciates that and you for you, so you never know what might happen or what might be around the next corner! 3
MGX Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 It happened to me. February 20th, 2012, to be exact. We're married now. Beautiful! And that's how you do it, ladies. Be more proactive. 3
Author Targetlock Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 for me July 9th 2014 hopefully 2
Teraskas Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I don't think it's so much the "struggling guys" not being positive, Glinda. This woman happened to come across Target's profile, liked what she saw and read, further researched him and went after him. When was the last time you've heard THAT happening? I sadly haven't heard of it AT ALL. :/ Honestly, I wouldn't mind if women took more of a proactive approach like this.
Author Targetlock Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 Well last night i took her over to see my parents (she surprised them with a box of choccies) she was shy at first but became much more comfortable as the conversation went on she really liked my parents and i get the impression they really liked her (will have to ask them) which is good as they will have to get used to seeing a lot more of her in my life Tonight comes the scary part of seeing her parents hope i make a good impression!! 4

Lol, speaking of meeting her parents, it brings back memories of my last relationship, and the very first time that I EVER met my significant other's parents. ^^ I was torn between bringing a box of chocolates or a bottle of champagne. I literally stood still in a store, pondering the decision for at least 5 minutes. Ended up choosing the champagne bottle, made my way to her house, rang the bell, got invited in, presented the bottle and exclaimed: 'I decided to bring the big guns, so now the party can get started.' xD I was literally thinking out loud, and often have such situations when I'm nervous, haha. ^^ Thankfully they could laugh with it as well and didn't perceive me as an alcoholic. 3
HappyLove Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 You look so proud in your pic. Very happy for you!
MGX Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 That's beautiful, Target! I'm so happy for you! Your story is an inspiration to me and it gives me hope that maybe one day, I'll have my own success story to share! 4
Smilecharmer Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 You two make a very cute couple. She looks so happy. I'm glad her parents liked you. What did your parents think of your gf?
Author Targetlock Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 You two make a very cute couple. She looks so happy. I'm glad her parents liked you. What did your parents think of your gf? thanks and yeah they really liked her, could see what i see in her . Saw her again last night for a couple of hours, and going to see her family again for evening roast dinner at her house and also next weekend going for a pub dinner to celebrate her birthday (and yes i bought her a present ) wish me luck will keep you posted. Also yesterday we went public on facebook with our relationship and the amount of nice comments and support was lovely, especially the message from her mum (or as my friends teased me the next day, mother-in-law hehe) 6
Author Targetlock Posted August 18, 2014 Author Posted August 18, 2014 Well yesterday i went over to hers again in the evening, had a lovely roast dinner with the family met more of them and really hit it off with them. i ended up late in the evening watching TV with her and making out in her room And to top it off i ended up spending the night (a real first for me) which was quite lovely, especially waking up to her in the morning she dropped me off at home on the way to work. I will be seeing her again tomorrow and also got a birthday pub dinner to look forward to on sunday 5
MGX Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 And to top it off i ended up spending the night (a real first for me) which was quite lovely, especially waking up to her in the morning Beautiful. Simply beautiful! I'm so happy for you! 1
Author Targetlock Posted August 19, 2014 Author Posted August 19, 2014 Beautiful. Simply beautiful! I'm so happy for you! thanks and yeah it was sadly we are having to wait for a first time having full on sex, because she needs to check with the docs and family planning about protection because how it might affect her medication (she has mild epilepsy, so can cause complications) but hopefully should get some good news soon she is seeing me again tonight and bringing dinner over 1
