pianoforum romances?

[stevie]

the forum has been going a while, and a common interest in piano is something that many pianists look for in a partner...

so has anyone thought about getting together with another member? 

i know some friendships have been formed, and people have met up at concerts and so on..

so what are the chances of a romance? 

[thalbergmad]

Well so far i have only seen 6ft 4 and Bernhard that live in England, so no romance there.

I think Pianonut is married and bouterboogie is only 17, so i guess my chances are nil.

[pianonut]

climb another mountain anyway, ok. thalbergmad, and post it again.  i am always impressed (even if you use poles).   bouter-boogie needs somebody who can give her the lifestyle she's used to (thalbergmad - you've got it, don't you?  travelling here and there).  she's used to a certain lifestyle - of travelling freqently and doing intresting things.

let's see - thinking aloud - and remembering my neighbor (who may get divorced but doesn't want it) saying that people usually don't want the difficulties of parenting other people's kids.  (ie. sand/chopin) that leaves... single, relatively young (no kids), but not too young (when's her birthday?), and not too old, not too big of hands, not too fat, not too skinny, no big feet - for women, and for men; single, manly, just sort of just right...well, like my husband.  (rubbing it in)  but, alas, he does not play the piano.  anyway, i like it like that because we don't fight over the piano.  he sings really well, so that makes up for it.

don't give up.  we married late in life.  24 and 40.  i was the last of the 'girlfriends' to get married.  i did, however, find a bridesmaid and a maid of honor (though my maid of honor was married).  looking back i wouldn't shake so much.  when i got to the place where my  soon to be husband was standing (despite the fact i knew i loved him) i almost fainted and fell over backwards.  i remember getting kind of lightheaded.  if your leg ever starts shaking before a recital, that's what it may feel like when you get married.   my husband had to 'hold me up' until the vows were said.  he was literally holding my back.  then, afterwards, i thought 'that was easy' - no problem.  it was just the lifetime commintment that i was a little nervous about.  now, i would rush down the aisle and take my time going back.  but, i took my time going down the aisle and rushed out.

You know Jenni R is DESPERATE for a husband so if ur 25-35 and 5ft 8+ give a personal message, she likes those.

SOD IT

I am 40 and 5ft 7.

I have gone off Pianonut.

Like most women she talks too much.

[pianonut]

here's my vouch for all those girls that might consider older men (like thalbergmad) at 40.  they are patient and kind and always ask you how you are.  they pamper you.  try to find that in a younger man.  they are few and far between.  they have to become semi-desperate and work harder. ..or maybe it's a generational thing that they learned to be nice (to get what they want).  anyhew,  my husband is still a very kind and thoughtful man.  only occasionally will he get sort of agitated and 'lets get in the car quick'  or 'you're driving like you want to exit the freeway on each exit.'   at those times,  i remind myself of the good times and just smile.  he's a really good dad, too, so i can't complain.  he's out today taking all three of them to hurricane harbor.  (he's sixty now!) 

something i really like, too, about my husband is that he keeps our anniversary every month.  he used to count the hours, minutes, and seconds.  sweet, huh.  anyway, every month he takes me out to dinner.  i was thinking today that if anything happened to him i wouldn't know where to go or what to do.  he's truly the other half of me.  it takes a while to meld, you know, but after 20 years it's easy. 

 

[thalbergmad]

Your husband is very romantic. Not many like him around.

I am very romantic too. I took my last girlfriend on a tour around the Jack the Ripper murder sites in the East End of London.

Silly cow left me soon after.

No satisfying some women.

[dave santino]

Wahey, another Englishman. We seem to be a dying breed on music forums. The only people I ever meet online are music dorks like me, i.e. listen to  "comlicated" music and practice obsessively, which seems to generally be a male thing. The day I meet a guitar/piano-playing, music mad, attractive, intelligent women aged 16-20 will be great, but I think that maybe we'd be too busy practising to actually do anything anyway, so there goes my plan!

[thalbergmad]

Must be loads in Yorkshire Dave.

Unless they are out milking t'cows.

[pianonut]

thalbergmad,  did you say 'jack the ripper' sites?  i gather you were trying to get rid of her.  i think you have some serious issues.  i mean, what girlfriend would kill her boyfriend to get rid of him.   she'd just dump him and that would be it.  no need to kill him.  let him suffer a slow death. 

for all you girls who are crazy for firefighters and construction workers, come to pennsylvania and frequent wa-wa's.  they're all over.  of course,t hey might not be as bright, well-read, and music loving as piano-forum'rs.  oh, yes, and policemen.  i don't know what it is about the 7-11's here (called wa-wa)  when we first moved here, we thought people were saying water but never quite grew up.

[dave santino]

We've moved away from that now....we have machines that do it for us!!!  Seriously though, there just seems to be a lack of musical females ANYWHERE except on bloody internet forums!! As for the Ripper thing....well, I say she missed out!!!

[pianonut]

machines that kill your boyfriend or girlfriend?  what do they do?  grab their arm at the atm and suck it with the rest of their body - so you don't have to deal with them spending your money?  was listening to a comedian the other night and he said the difference between guys and girls is that the girls don't want to work and won't give you back change when you give them money.  he said his wife told him her fantasy was to pretend that they weren't married and meet at a bar.  he said that his fantasy was that she would meet him there coming back from work.  i did have to laugh, because it's sort of semi-true in my case.

HAHAHAHA sorry jenni is my fallback girl for if I turn bi or straight.

I was thinking of turning gay, but i don't think i could stand having men telling me to bugger off as well as girls.

[Jacey1973]

Love this post!  Ok this might be a little ambitious...

Well so far i have only seen 6ft 4 and Bernhard that live in England, so no romance there.

I think Pianonut is married and bouterboogie is only 17, so i guess my chances are nil.

I live in England too...

You know Jenni R is DESPERATE for a husband so if ur 25-35 and 5ft 8+ give a personal message, she likes those.

Oh, yeah, er thanks 6ft 4...hehe you've got the ages and heights right LOL...(personal messages please from anyone but 6ft 4, as he hasn't replied to my last personal message to him for about 3 weeks and so...i've given up...he just doesn't have time for me anymore  )

here's my vouch for all those girls that might consider older men (like thalbergmad) at 40.  they are patient and kind and always ask you how you are.  they pamper you.  try to find that in a younger man.  they are few and far between.  they have to become semi-desperate and work harder. ..or maybe it's a generational thing that they learned to be nice (to get what they want).  anyhew,  my husband is still a very kind and thoughtful man.  only occasionally will he get sort of agitated and 'lets get in the car quick'  or 'you're driving like you want to exit the freeway on each exit.'   at those times,  i remind myself of the good times and just smile.  he's a really good dad, too, so i can't complain.  he's out today taking all three of them to hurricane harbor.  (he's sixty now!)

Wow, i am seriously attracted to older men recently! Your husband sounds lovely Pianonut  how did you meet and did you ever find the age difference a problem? I'd always be worried about what my parents would say, but then i don't suppose it matters if he's nice enough....i like the idea of being looked after.

HAHAHAHA sorry jenni is my fallback girl for if I turn bi or straight.


and you can have me any time, thalbergmad as long as you dont tell my boyfriend ^.-

Very true, but you know Skepto i can't hang about forever so you better make your mind up...

i heard rumours that 2 banned former members of this forum - comme_le_vent and pocorina - are an item!

They are aren't they? Comme told me, good match i say.

i don't get it.

Wow really? TELL US!

im gunna marry someone from PF

Mmm not sure this would work somehow.

Actually on the subject of romance...I went to a recital last night - it was beautiful, in a cathedral, candle light etc.

Anyway, when i was queuing up for my seat i spotted this gorgeous guy, which i was rather surprised about (as there is never anyone under 60 at most classical concerts i go to!) He was actually the only other young person at this recital. So i showed the steward my ticket and he showed me my seat which happened to be right next to this lovely guy i already spotted. In fact we were the only 2 people on that particular row - what were the chances of that considering the recital was nearly sold out?

So i started chatting to him (obviously) using lots of eye contact/smiling (as did he), found out stuff about him and found him really easy to talk to - wanted to chat for ages but then the recital began and there was no interval unfortunately. I really wished i got his number, but i was too shy to ask at the end and i didnt want to hang around too long to make it too obvious lol! But he was lovely, i'm hoping i will bump into him again sometime during the rest of the music festival...

[pianonut]

dear jenni,

if i knew what i know now, and used it then -- i would have waited for my husband to propose.  basically, i ambushed him.  you know, guys use the same technique on women they like (so why not even the score).  the only thing is,  is that my husband could have used it for ammunition later.  thankfully, he never has.  occasionally, he talks about the hot tub experience with pleasure.  i didn't let him go any farther until we were married.

seriously, if you find a guy you like, are attracted to, and isn't *? then, why not just say - "i find you incredibly attractive.  are you going to anymore concerts in the series, because i want to sit next to you again."  that way, he could still exit (you haven't asked for his phone number, and the worst he could say was 'no' and walk away). 

jenni, from your pic, you're pretty cute, so you have nothing but time on your side.  don't feel pressured to rush into choosing.  bait and reel.  if you drop one, pick up another.  but, make them work really hard.  let them open the door at least.  wear dresses a lot, and be relaxed.  i think guys pick up when you are not relaxed and feel like they are supposed to do or be something they aren't.  if you like a person as a friend, you are likely to like them married.

[stevie]

best advice -

be yourself!

but if you suck...... be someone else

[6ft 4]

he just doesn't have time for me anymore  )

yeh.......sure i dont........its the "time" right?

[Jacey1973]

Yeah you're so busy all the time aren't you?

Thanks pianonut, i like the wearing dresses bit!

The funny thing is the guy i met the other night was actually younger than me...that's gotta be a first!

[pianonut]

just re-read my message and meant simply 'time on your side' meaning that you don't look very old and don't need to worry!  younger men probably have more energy, but i'm still advising same age or older.  and, perhaps what you are doing is the best (not really sticking your neck out over particular guys but letting whatever be, be).  letting be is being relaxed, so i guess you already are.

[dinosaurtales]

SOD IT

I am 40 and 5ft 7.

I have gone off Pianonut.

Like most women she talks too much.

a-HEM!

[thalbergmad]

Most not all.

[pianistimo]

guys like it when you talk.  they just say they don't.  have you ever met a guy that talked much?  no.  you have to sort of fill in.  they don't say unless you ask.   'how was your day?'  you know, things like that.   

i mean, unless you want to sit together at a diner,  kinda tired looking after 18-20 years together and just staring.  i've seen that kind.  it's really sad.  they just look down at the coffee,  mutter 'pass the sugar.' 

no. i insist on pulling information out of almost everyone i meet.  but, especially my husband.  if he is quiet, i tell him a joke or story.  if he doesn't laugh...i laugh for him.  i had to do that the other day when i told him the story of the tiny pianist. 

[stevie]

has pianonut's sister just joined? 

[leahcim]

they just look down at the coffee,  mutter 'pass the sugar.' 

They're the lucky ones....some don't take sugar

[thalbergmad]

has pianonut's sister just joined? 

If not her sister, some close relation surely.

[stevie]

has pianonut's sister just joined? 

HAHAHAHAHA

just found pianistimo's post on the introduction thread:

'btw, i have a new name.  it is pianistimo (formerly pianonut).  it is a more focused name.  therefore, i will attempt to live up to it.  speaking only of music, piano, and the like and trying to stay off of 'anything but piano' for at least one day.'

i swwear i had no idea about this when i said i thought it was her sister.. 

[thalbergmad]

Nice call Stevie

GREAT thread, Stevie! I've wondered this myself. hey, if I can nail a hot piano chic here, I'd be on cloud 9!
Anyone know of pianists who's met and gotten married through piano street?

[stevie]

obviously not yet....but in time probably!

i mean a common serious interest in piano is a GREAT way to start a relationship, and youd be surprised how many people come to this board from every little corner of the globe.

[Bouter Boogie]

Awwww, Commie is in loooove. 

So, my story....it may look like I'm "new" but I've been around  .  I found out someone lived very close to me and we started talking and became really great friends, with the possibility of more...oh la la, but then I freaked out about the whole internet thing.  So not only did I successfully ruin his friendship with comme_le_vent, but him and I no longer speak.....

Clearly I am bad news  .

[stevie]

comme seems to be quite the ladies man, i can help wonder what on earth they see in him...
