I've been thinking about <3. Since I was a kid, I had this idea of love- that for every person there's 1 other person in the world that they were meant to be with forever ( there might be dozens of people that you date and try out along the way, but eventually you find The One and that's it.
I still believe this, which leads me to believe that a lot of people just give up and settle. You're supposed to meet the love of your life at some great big party at a house on the ocean while you're on vacation.
It's a gigantic world out there, but all these people meet someone at their work and think that's The One. That's not even trying.
I mean, there's supposed to be a hugely romantic beginning, not " We were at the vending machines, and there was only one cup of Spaghetti-Os left, so we shared it. I knew then that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her."
I guess I'm being too critical; I guess people don't want to be alone, or they just want to have kids and don't want to wait forever.
I still believe in real love, I just think it's very rare. Most people just hook up with somebody that they hate less than everyone else, and convince themselves that it's love.
Does any of this sound reasonable, or do I just sound lonely & bitter? |

Or a 4th of July fireworks show- that's a good romantic beginning. Or a watching a space shuttle launch. Or at a FB show. |

And how about movie stars? They fall in love with whoever happens to be cast in the same film. |

Poor jimmy...no one replies to his thread...does that mean no one loves you? I started a thread a while ago, and no one has posted in it. Maybe I'll save this for your advice column.

I like Jimmy's energy.
I've always been able to love alot of people at the same time. I basically like people. They're funny.
Especially funny are mean people. Not them "mean on the internet types", no. Mean in person people. I always get them laughing. Sometimes post-fight. But, hey....
I think everyone has a pre-determined radius for mate hunting.
My dad thinks the radius gets smaller as you get older. He calls it the "lazy infielder syndrome." Meaning, he'll snag something hit right at him, but he ain't diving for anything. |

there is no one person out there waiting for you. that's ridiculous.
people date, go out, spend time with each other, fall in love with each other. everyone's a potential "the one"
you say finding "the one" should be a big romantic occassion. so what if you meet a girl, really unromantically, and over time you fall in love with her (and you think she feels the same). do you hold off because she can't possibly be "the one"? weird!
and what about people who say they've found "the one" and then it doesn't work out. does that mean they were wrong? so how do you know if you're right or not? or if they WERE "the one" and you still managed to break up, does that mean you're fucked?
"the one" is a depressing thought, not romantic!

This sounds perfectly romantic to me. As far as I'm concerned the romance stems from the feelings created inside you by the other person, not the circumstances in which you are placed. Roses are not romantic; being given roses by soemone special is.

I guess what I'm saying is, I don't like Spaghetti-O's.
I'm sure at some point I tried them. They're just not something that I grew up with- probably because my mom loves me. |

If someone genuinely likes Spaghetti-O's, then I guess that's fine. I know I'd rather have a hamburger from McDonald's than one that somebody cooked on a grill. I just don't get how people will eat spaghetti out of a can instead of cooking up some angel hair pasta and then chopping up a tomatoe w/ olive oil and salt & pepper- it tastes a thousand times better and takes only a little more time & money. |

And at most of the big supermarkets you can get a potted basil plant for $2.99. Throw it in the sauce, or chop up a couple leaves and put it on a pizza. |

You know what I like even more than a McDonald's hamburger? A rodeo burger from Burger King- there were a couple weeks this summer when I went there every day.
No floop, though I am planning on getting some at the end of the month- I have to have something to look forward to.
But to be completely honest, a couple weeks ago someone gave me a 40mg OC and I shot it ( that doesn't count though, because I'll never say no to a good pill ). |

What if McDonald's sold spaghetti, would that be better than making it at home?
1. Burger Kings sucks, worst fast food chain 2. If you don't like spaghetti o's you most likely are gay 3. Sharing spaghetti o's on a first date is in fact perfectly romantic 4. Any 2 decent people can get married and have kids, love is irrelevant basically, being able to be friends is the hard part 5. I think you might need to divorce the white lady before you'll find this lover you are looking for 6. I'm high

I saw a little stall in the market of the market town of Kingston-upon-Thames yesterday. It was a McDonalds stall, selling vegetables, with the golden arches all over it. I'm still confused. I might have to see if it's there today and do some more sleuthing.

You share those spaghetti-o's now, you'll be forever sharing, and nobody wants that.
I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

Except if you can't finish a whole can of spaghetti-o's. In which case you deserve to die.

Seasonally, in New England, they have the McLobster, and i've seen (somewhere on a road trip) the McPizza.

Is love entirely with the heart? I decide more with my head, and I know I have not found the one. My current gf is really great in so many ways, but there are a few reservations I have. I also don't have that bowled-over in love feeling. That's what drives me crazy: what is it about someone else that is supposed to give me that feeling? Attraction to beauty? Intelligence and the manner in which she speaks to me? What if I'm not attracted to her as much sexually but love her personality? That won't work for me in the end either. Ugggh. Then, should I break up with my gf because I'm not head over heels in love and that's not fair to her?
PS there's nothing wrong with the taste of spaghetti-o's as long as it is the one with the meatballs. The other ones taste like shite.
I'd rather be anywhere or doing anything |

I'm really confused because I'm in love with my best friend, and I think she feels the same way about me but I'm afraid to say anything 'cos I think it might mess up our friendship. I really want to be with her but I want everything to stay how it is right now, too. And then she's thinking about moving and... oh well...

I know Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan already went over this at length, but I'll pose the question here anyway: Is it really possible for a man and a woman to be (and remain) just friends? Isn't it inevitable what's happening with mr.biscuitdoughhead here? Don't fight it, dude. Like Kathryn said, don't leave yourself wondering what could have been.
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

and if you don't tell her, mrbiscuitdoughhead, give her a dildo as a leaving present, so at least she's thinking of you as she climaxes.
No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God George Bush snr |

Not to sound inappropriate but you can be friends with someone and still sleep with them.
