loved one

[concerto_love]

Do u ever fall in love? Or u have the loved ones?? Who is it..? What do you want to give to his/her if she/he is going to have his/her birthday..?


I'll reply too, so please tell me...

[pianochick93]

Yes, I have a loved one. You don't know him (no-one here does). His name is Sam, and he's good looking, smart, nice, a computer whiz, and really really soft to lean on. Oh, and he kindly accepts that he's my personal heater when I'm cold.

For his birthday I usually give him CDs or something...he's more practical over romantic, so I don't think he'd complain if I gave him some kind of power tool...except maybe if it was the wrong kind or utterly useless.

Love, such an interesting topic.
In love, well, I have this kind of theory of being in love.  Try to sketch, shortly.  When I was like 15 years old, I remember I sat in a restaurant with my father (which was blind), an Italian restaurant, with delicious - I call it 'kroketten' - mashed potatoes wrapped in a crusty coat of breadcrumbles, and that fried.  I loved the food over there but that particular day something new happened to me.   I could'nt eat.  I looked at the food and it looked strange to me, like stuff from outter space.  I touched with my fork some of the food, but couldn't stick it in my mouth and I felt weird in my tummy.  Indeed, something like butterflies inside my body.  Very light inside, not hungry, couldn't focus, thoughts elsewhere, well, elsewhere was in fact one person.  A girl of my age, beautiful, very far away, a girl that had an affair with a friend of mine, not that I felt any remorse or anger, but I think I can say that that was the first time I was in love.  In love with something that was in my case relatively 'unreachable', due to the relation she had and due to my character, I don't 'start', I don't actively seduce...   I just dream, think of it, and am in love.  I think that feeling never ever left me.  I never said it to that particular girl, but right now I still like her a lot in my thoughts, but the feelings are not that intense anymore.  I had a few other girlfriends in the meantime and have a relation for more than five years right now.  But I never felt that same, light-intense feeling again, it just slumbers around in my body.  I tend to think that I only can be in love once.  That 'pure' feeling will never happen again.  I think I know what it is like, and I take from one relationship to the other something of the previous lover with me.   I still like (and in some cases even love) my previous partners.   So, The state of 'In Love' is unique.   If I had to learn something of that it could be that one has to grab his chance if it's there, but I still am a rather introvert person.   I think a lot of things in life are elsewhere, or are mysteries, or unattainable.  That is what makes it so terrible-beautiful.

It's not easy to buy presents for loved ones.  I try to find out what they like, just ask them...
I had the luck that my partner for instance once said while walking past a shop 'Oh, what a beautiful ring !', genuinely.   So I buy that ring, keep it safe, and when it's her Birthday - 'ta-daa'...  But it's not always that easy.  I think ladies like to receive things that honour them, that please them.   For the next time I think of offering a day in some kind of a 'welness' place, where you get a nice massage, beauty-care-face-make-up-things etcetera...  A nice dinner, candle light and then... well... musica !

What do you want to give to his/her if she/he is going to have his/her birthday..?

I bought my ex girlfriend some bathroom scales.

She said she wanted something that went 0 to 100 in 2 seconds.

  Of course, I'm 28 now and have loved ( romantically ) a number of women in my life, but I have yet to find that very powerful type of love that last a life-time, because that kind of love must be fully reciprocated or-else it will burn out like a flame, un-reciprocated love is like  water on fire.

 Of course there is young love and mature love, I can still see, hear and even smell those that I loved as a teenager and I still care for them. Believe it or not, not much changes as you get older aside from the fact that the feeling of love is more clear and last a little longer, though not for ever.

Here is a wounderful saying, " it is better to have loved and learned, than to have never  loved at all".  

  I have given my heart away twice ,  since I only have one heart to give it's almost everything I have to offer. I say almost because to take my spirit, soul and dignity from me, they'd have to have the heart to do that,  I've never lost that.

  you romantic devil you.

[concerto_love]

Hahaha... ^^ Myself.. I'm just a childish who like my teacher who's older 23 years than me!! But I guess I just appreciate him as my senior, not my loved one..

Yet she already had you!

Highly (and typically) amusing though that is, I should go and clean off some of that limescale in the bathroom if I were you - and then go and practise some scales on your banjo...

It occurs to me that, if ever the membership of the Association of Ex-girlfriends of Thalbergmad gets to exceed the numbers of voters in a British General Election, I'll be hard put to it to decide whether that fact tells us more about electoral despondency or about the effects of relationships with Thal - in other words, whether it tells us more about the exercise of a general mandate or about the exercise of a particular man date...

Best,

Alistair

Well, i would only worry if the membership of said assoc exceeded the words in the average Hinty post.

Anyway, at least i have a girlfriend. Why don't you get one and give the cats a rest?

He's right!!

[pianochick93]

He's right!!

Are you sure you know what he means by 'Give the cats a rest'?

[concerto_love]

I know, I just kiddin'...

Sorry, in such a bad mood now...

[irene_cantabile]

I know, I just kiddin'...

Again.. be careful..

[retrouvailles]

I think the question we all want to know is...








How is Alistair Hinton's love life?

[a-sharp]

Yes... I'm suddenly interested. 

[concerto_love]

Just try to type an icon or it'll be blank...

[chopininov]

Apparently the same as his reply to your question: nonexistent.

[thalbergmad]

How is Alistair Hinton's love life?

Very good, he loves himself very much.

I cannot imagine Hinty on the pull, most girls would have passed out by the time he had completed his first chat up line.

"Good afternoon, my name is Alistair Hinton the curator of the Sorabji Archive and composer of some note, would you like to come back to my place and look through some 900 page manuscripts that i am currently working on......................................" yawn

Thal

[anodibu]

It's funny that because Alistair doesn't speak about his private life people assume the worst. If you're really that curious read the liner notes of the cd Gulistan by Charles Hopkins and you'll know his marital status at the time of the recording. You can order the cd from the Sorabji Archive.

[thalbergmad]

I am nowhere near interested enough to buy a bloody Sorabji CD.

I will see of its on the mule.

I completely forgot

if only we got paid for talking about people

Then I'll pay with monopoly games money, heheheh...

[Essyne]

Love's a fallacy.

[a-sharp]

OMG - I never thought I'd hear that from a musician.

wow - how sad!

(sorry - no offense - just... gosh - I'm sorry! )

[maul]

Love's a fallacy.

Incorrect. Please try again.

[a-sharp]

Incorrect. Please try again.

Good answer.

[ahinton]

Worry? I should have thought that you'd be proud of such a statistic!

Anyway, at least i have a girlfriend.

By which I take it you mean that you have one currently - a successor to those members of the aforesaid association of ex-ones; good - I hope that you are enjoying yourselves.

Why don't you get one and give the cats a rest?

What happens in my private life is of no concern to you and need not be so; what happens in my two cats' lives is pretty much up to them and them alone, at least to the extent of the old adage "dogs have masters - cats have servants"...

Best,

Alistair

[ahinton]

Are you sure you know what he means by 'Give the cats a rest'?

And - perhaps more to the point - is he?...

How can you "know" a question? I think that you mean that everyone here wants to "know" the answer to it, although I have every reason to be certain that this is not the case.

Best,

Alistair

[ahinton]

Very good, he loves himself very much.

In whose opinion and based upon what evidence? (and, for the record, this statement is false).

I cannot imagine Hinty on the pull,

Any shortcomings in your imagination are down to you and you alone.

most girls would have passed out by the time he had completed his first chat up line.

This from someone with a self-confessed string of ex-girlfriends! Well, well...

"Good afternoon, my name is Alistair Hinton the curator of the Sorabji Archive and composer of some note, would you like to come back to my place and look through some 900 page manuscripts that i am currently working on......................................" yawn

I would agree that anyone marking the above as any kind of chat-up line deserves to award it less than one out of ten, but then the line is yours, not mine.

"Note" should perhaps read "notes", since self-complimenting is not a habit of mine.

I have never written or worked on a 900-page manuscript.

I have yawned from time to time, however, the last such occasion being when reading a purported chat-up line from your own imagination...

Best,

Alistair

[lucylucy]

I love a guy, but i don't know if he loves me ; so i won't give him a present for his birthday.

[pianochick93]

You can always get him something as a friend...he'll probably appreciate it.
