Go ahead and say it, Nuke, because I already know what you're going to say. 
And, I've got my "Whuppin' Stick" ready.

By the way, welcome to old age, Nuke.
That's why I've put up with you all these years. I knew that eventually, you'd catch up.

Aw crud. I was really hope you were going to say something, because as soon as my Social Security check comes in, I was planning on buying another stick.

Well, when I pass you next year, would you help me with my nachos? I can't eat them anymore until the chips have been softened. A bit of hot water should do the trick. Mush them up in a bowl like oatmeal. Thanks.
Way, way too much time and trouble there. Besides, I'm not going to spoon-feed you from the bowl, no matter how much you beg.
I'm just gonna throw those puppies in a Nutri-Bullet, puree the living beans out of the whole mess, throw it in a sippy cup, and you're good to go.
See what you have to look forward to? I'm working on embroidering a bib for you as we speak (post.)

I don't think online dating is a good idea. There are occasional success stories, but meh. Never have done that. I was engaged and recently broke up about 4 months ago, and I'm dating someone now, and we were friends first. I can honestly say I'm in love with him, the trust was built because we were friends first. I think that meeting people and becoming friends first, without any intention of something romantic. But, then one day...like my bf did, he surprised me after my engagement ended and said that he has always had feelings for me. I used to be a serial dater, and I always thought dating was fun, but some people take it too seriously, and that's probably why it's not fun.
I certainly don't mean to make any of these threads all about me but I do feel that I should answer when someone takes the time to address me personally (especially a friend.)
I surely do know that written communication is an art so far gone that it usually needs a respirator even from the first PM. I'm also not trying to make it sound like I have incredibly high demands. I don't know, all I can says is that I know what's worked for me over a long time, and to be honest, I don't have a single regret over anyone who criticized my point of view.
I remember one guy who, when I was hesitant about giving him my number (we'd only PM'ed a day or so) wrote, "Well, unlike you, I'm actually a grown-up and can handle relationships instead of being paranoid." Eh... Ok. I understood where he was coming from, but I certainly didn't feel like I was losing out when our communication ended.
Reece, I'm sure you understand this: Do you ever feel like Scott Summers (Cyclops) and you wish you could find the right situation to just take the glasses off, open your eyes wide, pull out all the stops and be able to blast all your positive energy into something without holding back?
I feel that way about finding the right relationship. But I also believe it will take God's help, time, and a very special situation.
I can sit for hours and talk with someone about THEIR interests, dreams, ideas... But one of the reasons why I've never felt comfortable enough to get into another relationship is because I haven't really found anyone who can initiates an hour or two of asking me what I'm really into and why.
It's certainly not their fault--we're just built differently is all. The things I'm interested in are usually seen as pretty bizarre to other people (i.e., talking to guys who've shot people.)
I keep hoping that one day... God will send me the person I can take the glasses off with and fully open my eyes.

I relate with that very much, and your analogy fits beautifully. I ususally call that a 'filter'. Some people call it a 'mask', but the point is that we have certain structures, rules, etc either socially imposed or personally built when dealing with others.
To find someone whom you may not only care for and be cared by, but be almost fully if not completely unfiltered with...that's a precious thing! I've actually experimented with having one or two such friendships, and though one did ultimately end, both she and I separated on good terms (and feeling much richer for the experience).
Being able to completely open one's self has to do with trust, vulnerability, and commitment, but being able to do so brings about so much freedom, expression, and what I'm going to call 'satisfaction' for lack of a better phrase, that it makes you long for the ability to do so again. It's like getting the chance to 'really be you', and feeling both safety and acceptance in doing so.
So, like I said, Kimmy Kim Kim... I can absolutely relate to that with you. It does take God...and time...and our own willingness and involvement with others...and though it's a little scary and difficult and even painful at times...both in it and looking back now...it's worth it!
I also don't think you make these threads 'all about you', but rather that the things which happen in your life spur on questions which you ask. I'm much the same in that regard. ^_^ Thank you for responding. You're Awesome, lady!
PS> Well that just won't do, Kimtacular... What are the things YOU like? I can listen. Let's talk a few hours... ^_^

I dunno, this thread seems to have turned out pretty well.
Then there's that thread over there that got started yesterday afternoon and is already at 8+ pages of arguments... Maybe we should start digging foxholes in this thread to prepare for the war.

Yesterday was the first time I was blind sided by thread. I thought I was just making a fun comment and I blinked and found myself in a debate. I had no idea what happened until it was too late. I do not like wars. I do not like arguing. I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them Sam I am. Can I just stay here where it's safe?
to derail? or not to derail? if it is a derail that is. hehe
this reminded me of when i would frequent the chatroom. a guy PMed me, and we were having a nice convo. then, he said he was getting off the computer and wanted to text instead. i wasn't gonna give him my number! instead, we used a messenger a couple of times. i still wouldn't give him my number, so he asked, "you don't trust me?" nah, bro. i don't know you!
we stopped chatting.
