Online Dating - How To Let Someone Know You Are Interested

<p>Very few things are worse than having feelings for someone and not being sure if we should say something! Once we decide to say something, we are at a loss at what exactly we should say! Online dating makes that task even more difficult. When we are face to face with someone, we can rely on our "gut" to decide the "right time" to say something. As we are stammering, we can view our love interests facial expression and body language. If it appears as though they are not pleased at our admission of feelings, we can verbally take a "detour" to keep from making a fool of ourselves! Online, when you want to let someone know you are interested, you must first be sure! Once your feelings take a serious turn, don't say anything immediately. Let them "settle" for a few days, and then revisit them. If the feelings are just as strong, now is the time to speak up. Please do not spew out a long rehearsed speech of your undying love and devotion! You will make your potential love interest run for their life! Open gently with the admission of "really liking" them, and telling them you hope they are feeling the same way. Gauge their reaction. If your potential love interest admits to the same feelings, you can then take it a little bit further. Continue to do this in small pieces. If your feelings appear to be stronger than theirs, eventually you will "hit a brick wall". You will know from that reaction not to go any further! Basically, when it comes to letting someone know you are interested, you just "inch along" until the two of you are no longer on the same page.</p><br/><p>I rapped on the front door. Inside, she and two other ladies were sitting around a kitchen table with cocktails and laughing like hyenas. Ray Coniff music filled the air. I wasn't the only one over served. I slurred after joining them for a drink. It was one of those "good" ideas you get after imbibing too much. In my fogged brain I could visualize the four of us traipsing into Zion's and improving the quality of the carols. Linda. The others collapsed with laughter as well. Everyone damn near fell out of their chairs, me included. I yakked it up with them for another drink or two then noticed the wall clock read 10:35. Uh-oh. Time to hit the road if I didn't want to arrive late. I had to wade through knee-deep snow to the car, but made it to Zion's unscathed and on-time. I reeled in the front entrance, tie and hair askew, and ran into Jim and Thom who, upon seeing me, started laughing. Thom. "Good thing for you Mom and Dad are in the choir," said Jim.</p><br/><p>I said with faux excitement. My brothers and I referred to the choir that way; you know, lots of wind, terrible sound. Our folks abhorred the comparison and chewed us out every time we made the reference, which is why we kept it going. Lighted candles marked the entrance to each pew. We entered one about halfway into the sanctuary. Remembering Linda, I blew out the candle. Thom cracked up. An usher relit the candle and gave me an irritated look. So did the people seated behind us. The processional hymn began, and the choir marched down the center aisle. I said too loudly, "it's the Hurricanes!" "With Mary Ruess on organ," whispered Thom. I repeated it out loud. Jim. All three of us were tearing up with hmmf, hmmf, hmmf giggling trying to maintain some decorum, but failing. Ed Smith was a basso profundo who sang over the top of the rest of the Hurricanes. My brothers decided to imitate (poorly) Lawrence Welk. Jim. "A real-uh toe-uh tapper," said Thom. More giggling resulted in killer looks from those seated ahead of us.</p><br/><p>Jim. The service was a fifty-fifty mixture of carols and readings with a boring homily thrown in at the end. I sang the carols in my loudest voice, off-key, with a whiskey tenor harmony. I thought I sounded great, but learned later from my brothers that it was gosh-awful; the absolute worst in the entire history of congregational singing. However, that did not keep them from egging me on and laughing. Oh well, that's entertainment. In fact, during THE FIRST NOEL I tried to imitate Georgie Jessel, and thought my brothers were going to pee their pants. It's a wonder we weren't 86ed from church. The recessional hymn was SILENT NIGHT. The house lights were turned off, the only illumination coming from the candles in the sancturary plus those held by each of us in the congregation. The Hurricanes marched back down the aisle. If our parents were hep to any of our shenanigans they gave no clue as they passed by. They simply smiled at the solemn, singing faces of their angelic three sons. The Hurricanes sang, WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, from the back of the church, and we were dismissed, everyone smiling, hugging, and shaking hands. I knew what I was getting for Christmas. A hangover. Copyright 2010 by Gene Myers.
