   I'm sure you probably are doing the Christmas thing now, but I thought I'd write
and get a chance to meet you.  My name is Eric Helms, and I usually don't
write on these netnews personals, but I decided to give it a try.  I am a junior
at North Carolina State University, but don't hold it against me!!!!!!
I'm trying to gain a degree in computer science - and I do say TRYING!
I'm originally from Durham.  In fact, I live a couple of blocks from the
NC School of Math and Science.

   Anyway, to answer questions about romantic people nowadays, I
personally have given up in that area.  Women no longer want to be held in
high esteem nowadays!  They don't like guys showing up with a rose - they
think it's weird, and it makes them uncomfortable. Let me tell you a story.....
  
I did this in September 1991.

I'll tell you something I did one time.  It was a friend of mine's birthday 
(She was going to Meredith College here in Raleigh), and I thought of
something that would have been perfect for her.  We had gone out a couple of
times, so I thought I'd do something special for her.  I told her to be ready
by 5:00 in the afternoon, and that I would pick her up.  When I got there, I
told her to close her eyes and not to look where we were going.  I drove us to
local lake ( Lake Johnson ), where I had set up a picnic table with a table
cover, 2 candles, and a vase of 3 roses.  I didn't have much money then, but I
bought KFC chicken for us to eat.  The table was right on the water...the sun
was going down right over the water....it was perfect!  After dinner, she
told me we should stop dating each other and see other people.  Ever since
then, I have given up on the fact that being romantic can make a difference.

I love giving flowers, giving attention to special people, and making them feel
special.  It seems no one wants that kind of attention nowadays - all they
want is 3 pints of beer and sex.  That is not romance - that's getting someone
drunk and using their weakness for your intentions.  I come from a Baptist
upbringing, and I feel sex was specifically made for a relationship between
husband and wife.  I am a Christian, and try to do the right thing - but I'm
not perfect.  I am a fraternity brother in a Christian fraternity here at NCSU
- Chi Alpha Omega.  I was the past-president of it, and feel I did a pretty
good job.  

I enjoy weight-lifting, jogging, aerobics, and working with people.  I'm 21
years old and living by myself in an apartment off campus.  I enjoy doing
crazy things and just having plain simple fun!  If you're interested, give me
a..........I guess you would call it a ....write, and we can get to know each
other.  Merry Christmas!
