/me eats cold left-over chicken from lunch.
Sorry Yosef, I guess I'm not that romantic  The last man I dated was a Frenchman. I guess you could say he was a 'French Yosef' type. Very good with words (and a sweety), but I usually fell asleep during his declarations. I even had the gall to snore. No idea how he put up with me for so long.  Judging by the other responses, I believe you will never lack for female companionship in SL. You truly have a way with words... _____________________

My overly romantic rambelings do get attention, but no one is serious about me. I'm not even serious about me. I really blew it with the "learing to speak french" line, huh? Oh well. maybe next time ... and there will be a next time  |

Not good enough it seems. /me sighs The purpose of a flirt (the act not the person) is to make someone feel better about themselves. My overly romantic rambelings do get attention, but no one is serious about me. I'm not even serious about me. I really blew it with the "learing to speak french" line, huh? Oh well. maybe next time ... and there will be a next time Not true, we all love you and it just is not your words. We all believe that you are the sweet man that your words profess you to be. We all know the old saying "actions speak louder than words". Well Yosef we all do believe that you would put your words into actions if it was at all possible in sl. /me smiles at him sweetly. Keep it up honey, sometimes we just need to be held gently and not just laugh at someones words. _____________________

I really blew it with the "learing to speak french" line, huh? Oh well. maybe next time ... and there will be a next time Well there you go. You just made me 'laugh out loud' for real, and humour will always trump flowery words in my book. Unless you didn't _mean_ to write 'learning' that way... Okay, I'll try your way. /me looks forward to Yosef's promised 'next time' with longing. The thought that she might have pushed away the only man whose shown her any type of attention on these forums deeply saddens her. While she waits with restless impatience for the possibility to redeem herself in his eyes, she thinks of all the French things she could teach Yosef, and words are not what come to mind. _____________________

I tend to skip past Yosef's posts when he gets into the weepy "oh how I love thee, let me tell you . . . blah . . blah . . . blah." _____________________

Oh my darling, how wrong you are. If my heart didn't firmly belong to another, I would be swooning at your feet. As it is, your words still make my heart skip a beat. Get a room! |

*sigh*
I was about to get all huffy and indignant about 'the list' then read Yosef's post... lol, you certainly have a way with words hehe, /me steps over all the swooning girlies (and Ricardo - who I think is secretly swooning ) and gives Drivin a helping hand with his bees...and fish. _____________________

LDR can work but it takes a lot of sacrifice from both partners.
Am 5 hours in front of my one and only and so get tucked in every night (always a good thing). Work nights can be tough but weekends are just bliss. I guess at the end of the day its how much you want it and how willing you are to make it work. Personally i'm lucky given I dont tend to sleep much anyway, but 3/4 hours sleep is a tiny price to pay for a few precious hours with the one you love. |

Hey, Sweatheart. Thanks for the dance. For me, the party was was bland and grey after you left. That is what happens when exposed to the purity of greatness and beauty; the soul expands and the world around you seems so mundane. Every second is an eternity but I hold on knowing that I will see you again some day. Sorry, what's a "Sweatheart? /me sighs - he was doing so well too. |

LDRs are certainly a challenge, but oh the payoff if the stars are aligned!
My SL SO was in the UK; I am in the eastern US. The time difference was indeed a challenge, but for four months, we survived the late nights and early mornings (he more sleep deprived than I...lol). In November, he flew here for the weekend (and WHAT a weekend it was); then in December, he flew here for a 90 day visit. Last Saturday we drove to a local county courthouse, got a marriage license and said "I do." He's staying here in the US if Immigration cooperates ( :: insert eyeroll here :: ), and I have never been happier.Neither of us planned on our SL relationship spilling into RL, but it happens....andI'm so, so glad it did. So after a rather verbose response, it boils down to this: it's possible! Good luck!! |

Just me, sayin' Hmpf, I'm insulted, he never piled it on me! *sulks off to a corner* *tosses back over her shoulder* I bet I didn't even make the list either! Edit: Nope, not on the list. Flies back to Edscapes Island and climbs in the hot tub, surrounded by all the wildlife and vows not to return to the forums again..... until tomorrow _____________________

Are you my alt that I never knew about?!!...I too am 5 hours in front of my partner and get 'tucked in' each night! Likewise I need little sleep during the week and catch up at the weekends while on weekdays, I am already around when he gets in from work so I get to help him unwind (hopefully) and then he gets to hear me yawning when I need to get to RL bed! It all balances out and for me personally, it's not requiring a particular huge effort to make our relationship work, but then we're so relaxed with each other and get on naturally well, so I wouldn't expect it to be an effort. I certainly would be extremely gutted if anything were to happen to change what we have as I see it being worth whatever it takes. |
