I asked a girl out this afternoon.

...she's engaged.

Oops!




...we're going out Friday.

I joke, I joke.

She's only 19 I freely admit I do not tend to look for a wedding ring on 19 year old figners

Better luck next time

Yea, no kidding.

Course, I'm 21, engaged, and not got a ring cause we iz broke ghetto kids.

But good going asking her! Maybe she's got a single friend...

Well at least you asked her out...

That's more than most of us are capable of...

That said, if you're engaged at 19, you'll probably be divorced by the time you're 25...

Ha I never look at rings.

When I was around fifteen I broke this girl's gold ring. I was playing with on a table flicking up the table so it would backspin and come back. I got too enthusiastic and squashed it under my finger. . We were in Jamaica and there were no jewellery shops except for really tacky 'bling' stuff. So in the end I got her a crappy chain to say sorry.

I was pretty clueless back then. That girl sat me down with her other girl friends and said 'If a girl like a boy and she thinks he likes her what to do...'. What can I say I was an idiot and couldn't believe it.

Upwards and onwards!

Hey, Toad of Steel, I married at nineteen and here we are 36 years later. I'm still astonished he married me. As the years have gone by, I have learned no one else would. Some have openly pitied my husband. LOL. We enjoy each other.
As a generality though, you are likely right.

lielia what spiecies of Macaque is that in you avitar is it Barbary?

On seccond thoughts I think it is a Baboon

you got balls man

What about Daleks? Do they have balls? Or did Davros consider them to be a "weakness"?

That means you were married in 1972 (or thereabouts)... society wasn't as shallow, deceptive, and hedonistic then as it is now (unless you were a celebrity)...

Good for you, Lelia!! It is so refreshing to hear of a long-lasting marriage..I also married at age 19, been married for 22 years...he loves me for me..May you have 36 more years together!

I hope you realize that you are VERY lucky lelia, because MANY people who marry that young end up divorcing later on.
Marriage at 19 is pretty common though in many non-western cultures, particularly those that arent as wealthy and industrialized as most western countries.

I was married at 19 too, and im only 24 now.

Long story but basically it was more for legal reasons. I met my ex on line, she was American and we got on pretty well, but after meeting her the second time she went back to the state pregnant OOOOOPPPPPS.
So i pack my stuff and moved over when i was 18, we had to get married with in 3 months of being there so i could stay but we had planned to get married eventually any way. Were not together any more, it turned sour and rather messy. i couldnt afford to suport myself and her on the crappy wages i was getting. So im back here in England.

0=True I don't remember, but tickling vaguely in the back of my mind is that it may be one of the Japanese troops of monkeys that have become obese because of the tourists.
Haliphron- I am blessed. I am blessed. I had a checklist of what I wanted in a husband (Christian for real, in college for professional career, smarter than me (I,with an IQ of 140 thought I might never find) good-tempered, like books, like children, no baggage, good family, no addictions etc, good work ethic, not bigoted..... ) Yep, I had a long list. And then I met him in Chemistry. He has never thought of leaving, not even when I had kidney failure and was so sick from the medications and our five year old wookie screamed all the time and destroyed our house and bit visiting babies etc and the eight year old got depressed and the one year old needed everything and, man, I wanted to leave and was depressed. He's a strong man who has always taken care of all of us. He meant the vow for better or worse, and who knew how worse it could get? But last Saturday, our beautiful baby boy got married to a wonderful girl and family! and we have three grandchildren and the wookie loves her home and companion provider and tries to beat me maybe only once or twice a year now. I enjoy my empty nest and husband and trips to Rwanda now and life is good.
Toad of Steel- Ho ho ho ho. I don't think so. All of us have to decide how shallow to be in a shallow society.
JohnHopkins (after the poet?) Sorry I hijacked your thread. I wish you well and congradulate you on your courage to ask.

Trips to RWANDA? That can be kind of dangerous you know.....

Trips to Rwanda are not dangerous if you go with www.comeandseeafrica.org or www.africamissionalliance.net.
