When love matures is it fine wine?
 
or goat cheese on crackers?


The last five are about where I am at but I wanted to dice it closer so I included ages. thanks.

Cicero 04-07-2008 10:59 AM

Sigh.
:D
At least I'm eating.

kerosene 04-07-2008 12:03 PM

I don't quite understand the poll, but I picked the one about being in my 30s and in love.

So far, it ages well...just gets better.

lumberjim 04-07-2008 12:31 PM

i would kill a dragon for her.

skysidhe 04-07-2008 05:26 PM

Thanks for the responses.
I just want to know who's IN love :)

I love but I am not IN love. I am in friendship. lol I am not sexually attracted to him but I love him in a deep caring way.

Elspode 04-07-2008 11:58 PM

Well, I fucked up and picked the last one that said something about 40. Of course, this would be wrong. I'm 51, and having some seriously wonderful sex and love.

skysidhe 04-08-2008 12:13 AM

Well sorry about that. I thought I had a question for 40 and over but somehow I messed up. I had one empty poll question and too sleepy or lazy to write a good statement I stuck in the goat cheese one.

So Elspode. You are IN love? that romantic rush ..butterflies ? I know when I have wonderful sex I think I am in love too. Although you might think I am being simplistic but it is true. My emotions are tied up in sex and if I could have remembered this, as I just now did, I may not have had to write a poll.:smack:

Sundae 04-08-2008 04:40 AM

I am in my 30s and love, romance and sex are all but impossible to find.
No - scratch that. I'm pretty sure I could have sex tomorrow, but one of the men I don't find sexually attractive and the other would be quite dangerous in a moth to the flame way.

I actually contacted a speed dating agency yesterday to see if there were any places left at an event next week. No reply, so I take that as a no! I'd just like to start with some good, fun dates, rather than the murky world of casual sex.

Shawnee123 04-08-2008 08:05 AM

The whole conventional concept of "dating" scares the bejeezus out of me. The idea of setting up a time, seeing how it goes...though I dated my ass off ;) in younger days, I just don't see me doing it now. Like shopping for a guy. I always think something will grow out of a friendship, or will just happen. It's not a healthy attitude, and will probably keep me alone for some time...but still I tell guys "I'm sorry, I don't date."

Luckily, I'm quite comfortable with my own company. Sad, eh?

kerosene 04-08-2008 09:52 AM

I don't think being comfortable by yourself is sad. I think it is healthy.

Sky, I am in love. Absolutely.

freshnesschronic 04-08-2008 11:13 AM

there's not enough options :(

Sundae 04-08-2008 11:16 AM

Yay - I'm going speed dating on the 15th!

Case is right, Shawnee. If it's completely a choice for you then it is very healthy. It's only when you want a relationship or to be close to another person and feel incapable of achieving it that there is anything to feel sad about.

shina 04-08-2008 11:36 AM

I read an article in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago on speed dating. I have not gone to one of these but, according to this report, in this area the men do not show up. Good for the ones that do as they are outnumbered by the women 10 to 2!

Shawnee123 04-08-2008 12:07 PM

Thanks case and SG. I always wonder if it's this big giant brick wall and large moat I have surrounding me; but I do believe what is meant to be will.

It's just the future future future that worries me: maybe I will end up being lonely old crazy cat lady. :)

SG, let me know how speed dating goes. That does sound like fun!

I actually think I would have enjoyed trying that back when I was single.


I don't like wine much at all.. so comparing love to wine has potentially troublesome implications for me. (At least if I'm wanting to make a positive comparison. :angel: )

mac_tire_daingean 04-08-2008 04:14 PM

I am in my 30s. I feel love and am in love with my significant other.
Which one do I pick when I turn 40 and still feel the same way? ;-)

That's why I haven't voted.

Cicero 04-08-2008 04:39 PM

I'm in my 30's and have only been married for a year and a half.

I want to say that we aren't in love anymore, but we make everyone else sick to their stomachs when they have to watch us do anything together. So yea, on the behalf of all my friends who I have absolutely disgusted with our closeness, I will have to answer definitely in love. The 30's edition.
:D

Why I don't "date." Am I cutting myself short? I don't thinks so but I wonder at times.

I think it is my attitude to a T and comfortable with my own company thus this flawed poll.

Well I havn't ever had a properly aged bottle of wine yet so maybe I should have chosen a better metaphor :)

Im making this a double response to glatt too.

@ mac tire. same as what? It's good wine or goat cheese on crackers?
I mean some people like goat cheese. It's steady and never changes. ;)

(edit)
Or is it unrequited and or untried. I have at least one of those. :)

Same as now only 40s instead of 30s "I feel love and am in love with my significant other." :)

mmmmmm...goat cheese and crackers. I'll have to check with Case and see if we can get some of that soon. I mean, can we both be in love with our significant other and like goat cheese and crackers, is it allowed? :D

Cicero 04-08-2008 05:11 PM

I picked goat cheese and crackers. I was assuming that it was a good thing. We eat well.
:)
Do you know what we really like? We like goat-cheese salmon patties. Those are so awesome! So yea, mac. Sky may not approve, but I do. Carry on with your in-love selves, and have as much of the goat-cheese goodness you want.

kerosene 04-08-2008 05:41 PM

Goat cheese...not blue cheese. As long as we can make that distinction, I think it will be okay.

warch 04-08-2008 05:56 PM

In the 40s its sort of a lovely platter of sausages, assorted cheeses and marinated vegetables with good olive oil and crusty bread.

Sundae 04-09-2008 05:01 AM

:yum:
forget the love, I just want that platter!

warch 04-09-2008 10:57 AM

Sort of like the Seinfeld where George finds that pastrami is the most sensual of the smoke cured meats...now if he just adds tv....

shina 04-09-2008 11:44 AM

Just starting out and being cautious. Sure having fun though.

skysidhe 04-09-2008 04:38 PM

It isn't so thoughtful or scientific so it failed in execution so I am thankful for the patience and willingness to contribute.

About me:

I have great loving friendships. The friends I have are loving, supportive and gracious. I know there are people here like that as well.

I am glad for the people that are still in love. My love is a warm mellow sunset. It's deep and enduring and I am very fortunate to meet easy going people. I guess that's what I am. I don't DEMAND love or it's trappings. Just mutial respect ,courtesy and humor. I have that so I think that's good enough.

*laughs so hard at lj that she cries*

TheMercenary 04-12-2008 08:10 AM

Where is the choic for:

I am in my 40s. I feel love and am in love with my significant other.

I am in my 50s. I feel love and am in love with my significant other.

skysidhe 04-12-2008 09:40 AM

What I think.

I know. I messed up and left that one off and instead of thinking I just made something up UG.

It was getting redundant but I know laziness is not a good excuse for a miserable poll.

There you pronounced your choices anyway. thanks.

Next time I'll do a poll on sunless tan lotion instead. :P

A miserable poll gets no responses.
It was a good effort ;)
