Where can I find a mate?

Irish Setters are high maintenance... all that hair!

I prefer a good lap dog!
Preferable one that will fit in my shoulder bag.

Could be a very smart move.

I have a backpack with a puppy in it - maybe I'll just stick to that for a while.

In the past, I've ended up with a Pitt Bull, and the exact opposite.




All I want now, is a big Mutt,

Yep - I'm with you on that one, Lil. People can rationalize just about any kind of behaviour in here - just because it's SL...blah blah blah..(yawn) - trust me, I've heard all of it. There's a very real person behind an av - the feelings and emotions are very real. As long as everyone is in on your game and agrees to play it - there isn't a problem.

Also just a final point - a wise man once told me - "you have in your life what you tolerate".

I'd probably shoot myself if I had a man like my dogs:

He'd be one of those Ironman triathletes or something with a metabolism of about 4000.

I second (third, fourth, whatever # I am) this emotion. Petty jealousy over a dance is stupid. But breaching trust is another thing in its entirety. If you have an open relationship, fine, that's your deal. It's not mine. I don't have to agree with it, just tolerate its existence.

Yeah Im that bitch at the post office who throws her wailing kid with a wet diaper on the counter while my little Yorkie yaps itself into a froth at the old lady behind me.

OK now that I've had time to think ... what I want from a Second Life partner:
- A sense of humor. They don't have to be funny but that is a plus. Just as long as they are not too serious and/or glum all the time.

- Compatible tastes. I like Smooth Jazz, rock, country, metal; almost anything except rap and midi sequenced dance/techno/house/trace/whatever. I am moved by art; contemporary paints and photography, clasical sculpture. Modern sculpture does not always speak to me but the ones that do I find fasinating.

- Fidelity and commitment. -- This is going to get long -- I know that Second Life is a small slice of our personal lives. Timed zone diferences and RL commitments can keep us apart and I don't expect my partner to sit around on her hands waiting for me to log on. Go dance, flirt, cuddle, bang a newbie, whatever. As long as I know that when we are online we are priority, that is what matters most to me. The lower it rates on the infidelity scale the more commitment it shows and the happier I will be.

This is hard to explain, but as long as I do not feel our relationship is threatened, I'm good. I will of course be faithful in return. Hangout with mutual friends. Dance in social places we frequent together, no Slow Dance v4 with any one else, hugs but not kisses from the hello tool, no sexual flirtations with anyone else.

- What happens in SL ... I have a RL and family. I will gladly give all of my SL self to a partner. But all that is in SL is all that I can give. Some people are hoping to find SL relationships that with evolve in to RL romances. I'm not one of them.

Hmmm, that's a new kink for me, but I'm willing to give it try I'll have to pick up a tiny AV tho.

Take that part out and I agree 100% with everything here. Or at the very least, like I told the last guy I was with - if you really feel the need to do this when I am not around, then please do it with an alt, but keep this avi faithful to me.

And I would also add: If at any time you feel the need to vary from our agreement, please have the guts and common courtesy to be honest with me, even if it might hurt.

Joseph got himself that cat-sized jet backpack, huh?

Yes...I'm with you Lil, at least have the courtesy to tell me you've moved in with someone else, hehe. I'm still a little burned up by this one, can ya tell?

Crap Allie- that sux! Remind me to tell you my wonderful SL love story - But there is always a bright side hun- Honest

/me sighs... not only can that man write, his head's in the right place, too.

makes note to re-double her stalking effort.

Oh dear, now I have competition.

la la la

I have an idea... yes, they are usually not very good.

What about a cartel singles mixer? We could all bring one or 2 or 12 of our single friends who are actually looking for mates/partners/husbands/wifes/girlfriends/boyfriends? You know you have some friends who would come.


Wadddaya think?

Never a truer piece of advice given.

And don't ever think "oh it won't happen to me" cos it absolutely can happen to even the most emotionally even-keeled person, no matter how "careful" they have been. And when it does it literally can take months or more to get over.
Or the other scenario is you end up in a on-going series of romance/break-ups that do hurt, even if quickly recovered from. But eventually take their toll also.

I have seen more people leave SL over broken hearts than almost any other way (other than the newbie that finds SL is just not for them).

That sounds great

Can you do the bar that night?

Jezz is out of that business nowdays

I can always be bought, if the price is right.

:0

And they'd still be getting a bargain.

Awe!

Well I did get this new plaid miniskirt that I have not had a chance or occasion to wear..


So if anyone wants to have a singles social mixer, nothing fancy, let me know if you are interested and we can start planning one.
