I'm not sure.  You'll have to check with our local relationship expert, Ted Nielsen, who has studied the great John Ross.

Sheesh, Kirsten.  Can't you just let it go and leave the poor guy alone?

He liked you, you weren't interested, wires got crossed - fine.  End of story. 

It was months ago.  No need to rub it in now.  Have a heart already.

Given her level of obsession over Ted and the whole John Ross thing, I still suspect that deep down, she wants him. :laugh:

All women want me.

I'd want you if I were younger. I thought you were very gallant (and in this case, I mean that with the accent on the second syllable, all la-de-dah).

I could be wrong, of course.  :laugh: But I thought you were quite the gentleman.

The John Ross relationship thing is definitely over the top, though. Eeeew.

Well everyone at the first Tucson meetup was unmarried and only one of us had a significant other at the time.  Then in Montana, two of the three people who "went for a hike" were single, and as we all know if we've been reading Ted Nielsen's posts, going for a hike is a secret code for going on a date.

It is? Is that only true among people here, or does that apply to the general public?

It seems I may have unintentionally insulted somebody.  :-(

I'm not sure.  You'll have to check with our local relationship expert, Ted Nielsen, who has studied the great John Ross.

 :rolleyes:  :rolleyes: yawn...

John Ross wasn't a study for me, I already knew the basic concepts he was writing about.

I actually put this list together a few years ago, trying to be "logical" although I know a lot of it is pretty subjective.  I used to sort of give scores between 1 and 10 for each attribute or point, then I found this guy who scored more than 10 on every one of the issues,  :rolleyes: and so I chose him  :love4: and kept him, and he didn't and doesn't need any changing from whom he is at all, not even a tiny bit, which is good, because I am a very lazy person, and changing other people is very hard work and, besides which, it is, well, impossible.   ^_^

Feralfae's  Checklist for Considering Guys
1.I can admire and respect him as a man and as a human.
2.He has a beautiful and strong spirit;
3.He can keep up with me, more or less, intellectually and physically;
4.Hi isn’t afraid of change and challenges;
5.He doesn't mind if I go running off to run or climb or hike or backpack occasionally, although of course it's better if he comes along, but only sometimes;
6.He would also need to be able to make and know how to use tools, more or less, be an artist, artisan or some sort of stuff-shaper, although someone who makes music might be just as nice.  If he can fix cars and make things of wood, he gets extra points, especially if he can work on MGs and make shelves;
7.He must have a life of his own that fascinates him and me, have a strong sense of self and love life;
8.He needs to be free of serious substance abuse or addictions, of course, and sane is a good thing, too;
9.He really, really needs to be able to communicate, share, and explore ideas.  Very important. ;
10.Cute and sweet would be very, very nice.  Tall, lanky, dark hair.; 
11.Oh, Libertarian or anarcho-capitalist would help as would a great relationship with God.  Needs to believe in God, as I cannot abide that much difference;
12.Understands that we all fall, are bent or broken but that the only way to go on is to pick up the pieces and go for it!  Every time.;
13.Understands that life is an adventure, and that days are made to celebrate time by living life, not killing time;
14. Painfully honest, even if I think he is too honest sometimes.  I think he had better be pretty smart, too;
15.Have an exquisite sense of humor and curiosity!

So, even though this seems like a pretty long list, I actually found this guy who got 10+ on every one of the points above! 
See? 
We DO know what we want! 
And we find it, too! 
(He already knows all this, and of course it is da Doug.)

As goofy as it sounded at first, I'm beginning to believe in the 10-30 point pick-a-mate checklist. After a year or more of living together, many of those points become really significant, soon overpowering the two you thought were all he/she needed to pass.  I was dang lucky she had the 29-point list for US. My list was substantially shorter - and wasn't written down anywhere. Somehow it worked. Lemmesee if I can remember ...

gotta hold up her end of intelligent conversation
fit, trim, energetic, sturdy .. somebody I could rake leaves, plant a garden, take a hike or shovel snow with
non-dependent ... makes her own way in the world and wants to continue to do so
attractive by braille... really, looking good in broad daylight is cool, but where the rubber meets the road is not so well lit.
pleasant company nearly always
enjoys sex - with me - often
successful in some areas of life - where exactly doesn't matter, but I have to respect her productivity
HAS TO respect my productivity ... extra points for genuine admiration
Good at managing resources, balancing income and outgo
smart and strong in areas I am not - respectful of my strengths and our balance
has to accept my activities and participate in some of them
gotta put up with my flaws
