We are actually getting married.

P.S. Your example story is very funny, and it made me laugh... then I realized that there are guys on here that would really post something like that, and then it made me sad.

Don't feel like a moron... I accept that when you joke around and are sarcastic as often as I am, sometimes people have a hard time believing you when you're being serious. Especially on the Internet.

congrats

few questions:

did you meet through these boards?

Do not be too easy. If you are too easy to get, she will not want you. If you are too easy to keep, she will lose interest in you. If you are too easy to control, she will not respect you.

Right now, we do a lot of driving. It's about five hours. But I am transferring (job) to Louisville so it will work out great. We also talk online and on the phone.

what makes the other the one for you?
I like the way she thinks and that she's able to make me laugh... she's got a good sense of humor and that's a very important thing to me. She shows a genuine compassion for people and there is nothing better than that in my mind. She has been through a lot of really tough times and she comes out on top because she's got a mental and emotional toughness that pulls her through and shows a character that you won't find almost anywhere else. She is smart but in a way where she doesn't come off as seeming superior to other people. She looks at the world different than I do and it makes me look at the world differently. And she is hot... so hot.

do you BOTH have herpes?:D
Yup.

Congratulations...I hope it works out for you both.

Now for a little bit of advice:

1) Never forget that the secret to keeping the feeling of "being in love" is to make sure you both feel good about yourselves in each other's presence. To keep a person feeling "in love" with you, MAKE SURE they feel good about themselves.

2) Never forget that it is OKAY to disagree with each other about things and that it doesn't have to mean that anyone is "wrong" or "right"...only that you disagree.

3) Always put as much effort into things as you expect from each other...ALWAYS.

4) Devise a savings plan and always pay yourselves (the savings) first. Keeping money tucked away for emergencies ultimately prevents many issues, a lot of stress and disagreements in the event of financial problems.

5) Always make time to go out as a couple. Once a week, at least. Even if it's just for a walk in the park...do NOT neglect the relationship.

6) Always listen and never blame each other to avoid any built up resentment and hurt feelings.

7) Start NOW getting the kids ready for this change. No matter how much Gio and the kids like each other...there will be big adjustments. The best way to minimize any stress for all of you is to sit down WITH the kids and make a plan together. Set up basic rules, expectations, talk about concerns and ask the kids to list what rules they can think of they should have and what punishment is appropriate if they break the rules. Kids have a MUCH easier time adjusting if they not only know what to expect but are included in setting guidelines. Ask them what their expectations, wants and needs are, too. Make the kids feel like they are part of the family unit and have input right from the get go.

8) Eat meals together with the kids at the table and use that time to talk about what's going on with everyone.

9) Choose one day a week as "family day" where you all do something together...even if it's just cooking out and playing frisbee or something. This helps a lot in raising children the right way. Keep the family connection strong.

Okay...done preaching. Again...good luck and if you follow my advice (especially regarding the kids) you should have as smooth a transition as possible.

great tips wyld !
ty for the pointers on the kiddos especially
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

You're quite welcome. You have boys, right? How old are the kids and what are their sexes? I'm only asking because the issues that will come up are different based on the ages and sex of the kids. Boys tend to have a harder time with step-fathers...but the talking like I mentioned before makes a huge difference. If you have an older boy who feels like "the man of the house", you should take extra care to give him a special responsibility...something to be in charge of. A boy who feels like "the man of the house" has the most difficult time adjusting and can bring about the most stress and problems of all.

and what if everyone on the site voted that we were fools?

would that make you love me any less ?

Channel your excited feelings into positive thoughts and behaviors. You will attract women by being enthusiastic, radiating energy, and becoming someone who is fun to be around.

I think it's clear that I don't base any of my opinions on what people on this site may or may not agree with.

Especially people who aren't in their right mind.

Don't take it personally...everyone who tells me they're getting married gets that response from me. Hell, my 16 year old son has a very sweet, pretty girlfriend who he's crazy about. He asked me what I would say if he came home at 18 and told me he was getting married. My response was "I'd tell you that you were a damn fool."

Create self-fulfilling prophecies. Always assume the positive. Assume she likes you. Assume she wants to talk to you. Assume she wants to go out with you. When you think positive, positive things happen.
