    Real Life Bridget Jones
    How did you all meet your significant others? I'm a 24 year old female, and I've never
    Had a boyfriend. Although I know part of this is attributed to my weight. I'm 5'5 and
    Approximately 177 lbs, I feel there's more to it than just appearances. I do have
    A very warm and friendly personality, in spite of not being so confident. I'm
    Just looking for advice. How do I change the situation that I'm in, and can anyone
    Else identify with this?

    Let me see, my first love Susan, her and her mom were customers in a grocrey store I was working at, I got her phone number off the check her mom wrote to the store. Called and asked her out.
    She was killed many years ago

    Beth, worked for me in a business I was a manger at.
    Taught me a lesson about dating people you work with. The world and life we lived lead us down different paths though the years,
    She still holds a special place in my heart and we talk a couple times a week. We have been apart over 15 years.

    Melba, was there for me when my life fell apart over Beth, a prime example of the rebound,
    Her kids and my kids were friends. She died over 10 years ago.

    Toni, meet her on the internet on a game site,

    No, married four times, widowed twice divorced twice.

    I am looking for the next exwife right now, * OK that is sarcasm**
    But I am looking for the next wife currently.
    I can send you a application for it if you are interested

    I would also like a recent photograph, fingerprints, credit check, letters of reference, income statement and tax return summary. Maybe even a complete physical done too.

    Watch yourself Sarah... it would be a shame to pass up an opportunity to date a Tiger... :cool: (and to clear the air, marriage is the last thing on my mind... we should probably start with dinner and a movie)

    I thought this board was for helpful advice. If you want to have a conversation
    With another member you can message them privately. Please do not respond
    To my or anyone's thread, UNLESS you actually have something helpful to say..
    It's just a thought.

    Scott, please don't start quoting rules to us after ONE post.

    I have ignored your report of the post and almost deleted yours as insulting. I won't issue a warning since you are new, but you need to learn to get along better if you wish people to help you.

    Esp when you ask a open question like this it brings a more open discussion than a question with any real exact answer.

    It doesn't really seem to matter that I'm new. It's just common courtesy NOT to flirt
    In another person's thread, because it really isn't relevant. This is a board that
    Invites people who need advice to seek it, and I have received absolutely none.
    I don't really think I'm rude by asking people to simply stick to the topic. It's
    Only polite. I wouldn't talk about something superficial when someone is asking
    ME for advice.

    I think some of the regulars where having some harmless fun, that's all it ways and sometimes they need it.

    Nigel my first love we met on the streets after school one day, we still talk and see each other up until today (16 years later and where still great friends)

    Omar we met @ the mall dated for like 3 years

    Daniel current fiancée we where next door neighbors at first, then we became really neighborly

    Good luck

    Maybe the reason you haven't met anyone is due to your bitter attitude towards light hearted fun. I am glad you can set me straight on the rules of this board! :cool:

    Here is a thought, lighten up a bit, enjoy things, and quit taking things out of context. Just a thought... I can see that you probably aren't a very fun person to go out with... also just another thought...

    I have always found that meeting people of the opposite sex that may be a good fit for you happens at the times you really don't expect it to. So, the key is to enjoy, not expect, and when things do happen, be true to yourself.

    Hope you are having a great week!

    KC wow,

    Your sarcasm comes across loud and clear. Sorry but you can't sum up someone's personality from just a few message posts! To say anything other is just wrong.
    I don't mind that you called me bitter because I know that I'm not. I simply
    Wanted a straight answer from someone in regards to my question. I'm still
    Not sure if I have received one!

    Well I will try my best to give you a straight answer to your question. Gain some confidence even if you can't pretend to have confidence. Women with confidence seem to attract men no matter how much the woman weighs. Weight shouldn't be an issue in a relationship, love is out there for everyone, you just have to look in the right places. Hope this helped and good luck finding a mate.
