What they said, tommyrot. And go you on the date--hope it works out!!

I took a half-day pto to take my cat into the vet for a badly-needed claw trim (she was sticking to everything last night). There was an oh-so-adorable 3 month old dachsund/chihuahua mix there named Roxy--such a little cutiepie!!!

The second time I met Hubby, after the initial accidental meeting, was semi-accidental--Thanks for arranging that, Amy!--and as soon as we saw each other we started talking only to each other, and we were still talking six hours later. Though not at Amy's house, because she did eventually want to go to bed.

Well I guess I've had that happen - and even had the other person feel the same way a few times... just not that often.

There you go! I think the same thing happens with people you become friends with to. At least to me it does. (w/out the sexual attraction part)

First time I met Lewis, we were still talking, fifteen hours later.

Twenty-one years later...

I think what bugs me is memories of previous experiences - when after one date the woman tells me she's not interested, and I was thinking, "But how could you know after only one date?"

I think I'm just wired a little differently than most people....

I'm tickled that its the Black folks who DON'T have neanderthal DNA

I bet the race mixing has taken care of much of that in America.

First time I met Lewis, we were still talking, fifteen hours later.

I had that happen once! OK, it was more like five hours, but still....

Sadly, this was the summer before I transferred from UW-Stevens Point to UW-Madison....

after one date the woman tells me she's not interested, and I was thinking, "But how could you know after only one date?"

Sometimes after one encounter I don't have any interest in knowing anything else about the person. There's not enough synergy to make the push and pull worth it.

Sometimes after one encounter (or during the same) I want to slam them against the wall and do naughty things to them.

Sometimes during the first encounter I think I don't want the encounter to stop.

And sometimes I don't mind the idea of more, even if I don't crave it.

It really varies--and I don't have to dislike someone to not be interested. Just that they don't quirk my eyebrows at all.

ita, that all makes sense. Just wish I had that understanding years ago.
