Well...first off...tonight REALLY suck as I had emailed a woman on a dating site, and she wrote me back saying she would never go out with a guy like me. Nice. Oh well. Onto better things..Yep...I started tonight composing a tune for Pbable. It's gonna be called...you guessed it...Pbabble! :) It's going to have a bit of everything to represent all the moods on here...depression, mania, anxiety, and even *joy*. I should be done within a week..hopefully. Maybe Doc Bob will put it as his theme to his web page?hmmm.

Be sure to post it when you're done! I'm sure lots of people would like to read it.
I think it's great that you're writing a Psycho-Babble song.

If it's got a tune, I'll play it on my fiddle.

Well, surely it was some consolation to know that you two felt the same way about each other? Doesn't sound like the most mannerly or charming of potential dates.
Jay, my (much prettier) cousin once asked me how I found such nice boys to date. And I paused, nonplussed. Because it honestly never occured to me to date anyone who wasn't nice.
There are lots of nice women out there Jay. As you're going about your normal life, I'll bet there are plenty of them. I know that you've said your classmates are a bit younger than you are, but are they all? The only people I ever dated were friends first and then dates, and it always seemed to work for me.
I haven't a lot of dating experience, of course. I only dated a handful of boys in my life and married someone I met in high school. So what I say may not be all that helpful.

Choooo chooooo.
I know I'm riding first class on this train. *sighs*

Ha ha ha ha!
What a great song! What a song!
It makes me sad, though. Randy. He died too young. The man should be making humbucking pickups unwind from inside, still. He should.
May he rest in peace. Not forgotten.

Your words are VERY helpful. I too must start using that quality of a "good" person, to find a friend with that, as the sole reason for socializing with women. I think I've tried to do that, but it seems the women I have choosen to meet (which are only a few by the way) make up their mind right as soon as they meet me. I think that will be one of my first questions now. Something like.."Do you prefer a friendship that then develops into a relationship?"
Geeeezz..it's like learning to ride a bike over and over again, eh?..heh. Thanks for your very kind help.
Jay :-)

Or better yet, you don't need to ask, you could just be friendly and make a circle of friends. Maybe one will develop into something more. And if not, maybe one will know someone who will be the right one for you.
People who know and like you are still the best referral sources for dates. :) And they're fun and assuage loneliness in the meantime.
I have the impression that you aren't religious, but there surely must be other types of places with similar social structures. Do you have any hobbies? Have you volunteered for a campaign? Our local shelters are always looking for dog walkers and socializers. Those places are great for making friends.

Hi Dinah...
Thanks very much for the suggestions..really. Actually I am religious, but am at a confusing time where I don't really feel like sharing that side of me with other people. I know it sounds silly, that's the only way I can explain it.
One of my problems is, I think, that many people see me as a bit of a "bummer"...a "downer". Yes I have that side to me, but not all the time. Maybe that is why I have taken a bit more to religion, because I feel let down by society a bit too much. I also like to lose myself in schoolwork, music. But, I really need to majorly work on my self-esteem. Somehow it's all deflated over the years.
Anyhow...thank you so kindly for listening. :-)
Please take care..
Best,
Jay
