RE: What I can’t say – m4w – w4m
You wrote: We have a great thing, certiantly the healthiest relationship I’ve ever had but I seem to want to have my cake and eat it too. I’m struggling to think with the right head and don’t want to tell you because I know it would hurt you.

I ask: Did you tell her what you want? Did you give her a chance to let you know she’d offer up the moon for you? Or did you just lock her out of the decision making completely? What if she wanted everything you did?

No Thanks! (Avenger)
I’m GOOD! You know that I mean business and am really taking action now! Now, you want a peace treaty? I’m going to get everyone back that I know was involved. My father will handle the rest! The power of life and death is in the tongue! According to His word, anyone that is a threat to the promise has to die! He wanted me to fight back and He will handle the rest!

You won’t mess with my money or relationship ever again! Once I started praying for Essie and Mary, things changed!
I’m going to fast and pray when they go to court! Please FORGET ME!

VCU gym – m4m (Richmond)
We talked yesterday in locker room around 1pm. You were just finishing a shower and we were only people there. We talked about gym and membership. I thought you kept the conversation going for other reasons. Hit me back if you see this.

Hope at infinity – m4w (Midlothian)
I don’t like you, but man would I love to bang you. That red hair is right up my alley. Lets do this and see if you can change my mind about you.

Door holder at Sheetz – w4m (Powhatan)
You came through the first door, noticed I was on my way out the second door and you took a few steps back and held the door open for me. You tilted your head and smiled at me as I could barely mutter thank you and returned a smile of my own.

It was around 5ish or so. You were a white country boy who was taller than me, and you had a hat and sunglasses on. I think in a dark shirt. I couldn’t really remember because I was distracted by your smile. I also realized I just described 97% of the guys in Powhatan…

So maybe you remember me and can tell me what I was wearing… I’d like to see that smile again, for sure.
