Acceptable Cherub
 

How weird is this or is this a fairly normal coincidence?

One of Squirell Nutkin's mutual matches has the same surname as his ex and the same astrological sign. I'm thinking maybe he should just stay clear but that would be caving to superstition.

Do it , but meet in masks , stay in masks

I'd say it depends on the last name -- a Smith wouldn't bother me, but something rare would.

What's SN's sign? (and the sign of the crazy ex, for that matter)

sn=the virgin
ex=water bearer

I am an acceptable cherub.
No, really. I'm an angel once you strip off my clothes.

Well, I guess acceptable is down to how broad-minded your parents are ;)

PS. Don't get me started on astrology.
Having believed in it as teen, I am now as vehemently against it as an ex-smoker is against tobacco.

Derren Brown's gotten to you, hasn't he?

You know it.

I still look for patterns, signs and symbols.
I still miss their significance on my life.

And I love TV shows where fictional characters have real visions/ insights/ unexplained jumps of logic.
But I've met three "journalists" who were called on to make up horoscopes at short notice. It made me sad.

In a Douglas Adams book, or Terry Pratchett, or even Kate Atkinson, the spin would be that a harried sports journo made up a horoscope which then came true and changed the life of one central character, influencing others around them in ways that could not possibly have been predicted.

In fact, in very different ways, that is what those three write (wrote) about. Weaving the thread of individual lives into something that can be looked back on as a cohesive past. Or future.

Years back, I was browsing some singles site, and noticed one calling herself "Blonde with a brain". It was worth having a look, if only because it was fun to address my immediate supervisor at work as Blonde With A Brain the next day. Her reaction was most amusing.

Coincidences happen. Surname, area, star sign, and rough age match? Good chance it's her. It's probably best to avoid contact ... but it would open a very interesting opportunity for ... [sinister pause] ... mischief.

I went on OKC for two weeks when J and I were offline.

Jinx came up in my searches.

She has a boyfriend, but I don't know where she found him. Sounds like a nice guy. Ripley says hes shy. I hope he is a good match for her.

Dating sites are a lot like trying to source suppliers from Asia. You have a few on the hook till you find one who'll give you what you want at the price you want, then you just stop talking to the others.

I thought of that today while I was communicating with someone from China.

I like that analogy. I guess my prices were too high!

or your delivery was suspiciously fast. When I read your posts, I thought arranging a date after only five emails was... quick.

Actually, they suggested it first. The wisdom of the site says shit or get off the pot, by a few accounts I am slow to draw.

so... *they* suggested getting together, then *they* stood you up?

if so, good. count yourself lucky. you (really really) don't need more exposure to that kind of randomness/drama/lack of communication.

Oh yes, I am getting up to speed very quickly. It becomes more obvious the older a person is who has never been married or had many serious LTRs.

Alright so you're 49 and your longest relationship was less than 4 years?

40. And my longest exclusive relationship was five years.
But I see a big FAIL on my report card coming.

Everyone over 30 has baggage. A lack of LTRs could be just the history one person looks for, while past LTRs might be important to another, and LTR history may not matter a damn to a third. Depends on what one is seeking. Even then the personal connection, or lack of it, is the real decider. There's no report card.

It depends on what else they were doing with their life. A Nobel prize, or walk on the Moon, would be justification.

Sex addict. Could be a plus?
