For those of us on the board who have decided to get a little more proactive in the dating world, any dates planned for this weekend?


The best plan I have is to call a guy for the first time I met through eharmony. I'm a little embarrassed, as is he.

You'll be fine! Relax. (-: That is a job that is not handed out to just anyone. You have to be bright, confident and dammed determined to get that set of wings. (-: Chances are he is good guy in general terms at least!


My only warning as with all things military, they go where the work takes them. Be ready for that. And if he flies fast jets . . .those guys stay put. The military is the only place to ride a fast bird like that. (-;


Sounds like a good thing kid! Good luck. I bet worst case he makes an enjoyable date. Have fun!!

Thanks for the 'relax' message. I know I talk too much when I get nervous, and that's not a good thing. I am very verbose in general so it's even worse then. LOL


He did tell me he is also the first to graduate college in his family and I know it takes some doing to do what he does, and that makes me feel nervous again though I have also accomplished a fair amount in life and shouldn't be so hard on myself. I really am too hard on myself. My work in sales provides jobs for the people in the plant, so I do good things also.


My dad was 27 years as an officer in the Royal Navy, so I am luckily very familiar with the military life. I have moved my whole life and actually enjoy it. I used to think I wouldn't want to date someone in the military, but thinking about it they fit more of who I am. I am quite independent and enjoy having my own space at times.


But you're right - the worst is he is an enjoyable date - which would be great since I have had some bad ones lately. I just feel these guys really have zero interest in who I am as a person. They barely ask me any questions. It's not fun. And then on top of it they aren't even funny. At least be somewhat humourous - but no - not even that!

Well I worked with helicopters, not fast movers. And I just fixed the things. But I have to tell you, for the most part the pilots were cool people. We took good care of them in port, carried a few back to the ship. ((-: But they are counted on, and mistakes are costly, we trusted them with our life's and
