whew!
nancarrows tango!? i'll have to take a listen. i like watching ballroom dancing (and contests that have been on). the tango is really a beautiful dance when done by a couple that is 'in tune' with each other. this topic makes me think you know about taunting women. (why is it, all the really good looking guys...? oh well - maybe someday you'll see the value in a girl when least expecting it - and you'll get married. sensitive guys are the hardest to find - and probably least available, probably because they ARE so smart and don't want to get taken advantage of). there are some risks that become less with time, you know. you finally meet the right person. they love you for who you are and not what you do (but they must enjoy piano music). and, not trying to speak for you, they build you up and don't kick you where it counts (rather valuing that area - and protecting it at all costs).
my hubby was 40 when i married him. people assumed he was (you know what) because of his lack of interest in women in his younger years for a serious relationship. i was also thinking, maybe he's been married before. was shocked that he really hadn't had much of serious girlfriends (platonic ones) and 'pounced' on him when i found out he didn't. maybe it was a sort of challenge for me, too? i became very agressive and would arrive at his apt. at like 7:30 or 8:00 and ask for breakfast (he's a very good cook - but would serve eggos). then when i saw that his kitchen was stocked (blender, cuisinart, cooking utensils) i thought, 'put the pressure on.' i started asking for more food, and tasted some of it. it was soooo good. knowing a) that he liked to sing and sang well b) that he cooked c) that he was employed d) that he was soon taking a trip to toronto, canada i said nonchalantly (thinking he would think i was out of my mind) 'why, don't we get married and honeymoon in toronto?' he said something like, 'in two weeks?' i said, 'yes, we could elope if that's too fast.' then he said,' what would your parents think.' so i said, 'lets call them.' (thinking that would make him run out the door screaming) needless to say, we are occasionally still egocentric, but have made it a point to be aware of each others needs and are very happily married. me, especially, because he's the best. sensitive, kind, usually listens, is very intelligent, makes me love him without trying.
