Jack,
Now I, can certainly understand where you are coming from..I've got
to give you credit for coming out and speaking your peace!!
I'm not a hypocrite, and I have nothing against the Christian 
faith....I was just looking for someone that might understand my 
side of this whole thing! I can tell you do! (Thanks!)
P.S. I'm not orthodox by any means, but I do intend someday on 
finding and marrying a Jewish man...if not for myself, my future 
children!

I've met some pretty aggressive/nice women that way..

Dear Keith,
I appreciate what you're saying...and just for the record I've 
never discriminated on the basis of religion, as far as dating 
goes. For the past 11 years of my life I've dated only gentiles 
here in Iowa( I really don't have much of a choice <grin>) and 
have met some very nice gentlemen. When I was 21 years old, I came 
within 7 weeks of marring an Episcopalian (sp?), and realized
that something just wasn't right. 
At present, I have to be honest with all of you....there are 2 
gentlemen that are awaiting my reply to "the question". One is 
Jewish (I've known and kept in contact with for the past 3 years), 
and the other is from a very strong Quaker background (who is, at 
the moment trying to learn as much about judiasm as possilbe...he 
is studing with an Orthodox Rabbi). So, you're asking yourselves, 
why did she post this message, right?! Maybe I don't know what it 
feels like to be in love with someone, but I do know that there 
are no "fireworks" with either of them!
I do hope you realize that I didn't mean anything by the comment, 
"I'm surrounded by Christians!" Thought I'd add a little bit of 
light humor in at the end....Guess I wouldn't make a very good 
comedian (sp?), would I <grin>. I apologize to all those that took 
it offensively!  Actually, some of my close friends are either 
catholic or Christian!

Well, I don't recall off the top of my head what Christie Brinkley looks
like, but I'm usually more attracted to people with more character than
most model-types are allowed to have (at least while on display).

However, I do have to disagree with you here--actually, I've found that 
many women have been very good at knowing what turns on at least this man;
also, I know several women whose tastes in women are fairly similar to
mine.

Dear Peter,
Thanks for coming to my defense! You were the only one that was 
able to read thru my comment, "I'm surrounded by Christians!". I 
did not, at all, intend for it to be taken as any discriminating
connotation, but rather as a light bit of "friendly hassling" as 
you put it! I'm very new to posting (let alone the internet!) and 
felt that my message sounded a little bit too serious. So, I added 
that at the end, in hopes that all of you that read it, would not 
take it the wrong way, and realize that I just wanted to end on a 
light note!
            Shelley
P.S. You sound like a nice, intelligent guy! This a a great way to 
meet/talk to people! Had no idea the responses one post could 
generate! Hope to hear from you again soon! Sorry, but being new 
at this, I'm afraid I can't give you my exact address...but I have 
no doubt that, if you want to, you'll be able to find it!

A similar thread was on the net a year or so ago. Someone posted the following:

The poster claimed that he actually saw this work. I'd hate to see the girl it

I was 24, and I had dated approximately 30 people (where "date"
means that I went out with them more than five times, considered
us to be in a relationship with their concurrence, and had a
definite breakup).

I had considered marrying two other people, but I was stupid to
have done so. :-)  When I started dating the man I was to marry,
I had this very strong (almost sinking ;-) feeling that This Was
It, which I had never had with anyone else and have never had
since.  It's kind of that feeling you have when you go over
that first enormous roller-coaster drop and you realize it's
too late to get off the ride. :-)

I stand corrected my sweet.  "Age is irrevelent" is too general.  I recently

In that case age is very relevent, at least, for purposes beyond exchanging
email.  How about "age is irrelevent compared to maturity"?

Sure he was.  Who said pets had to be alive?  Granted, the live ones are
more interactive, but hey, rocks are nice and stuffed pets are nice.  I
once gave a friend of mine a pet cock.  I dunno,... seemed like the thing
to do at the time.  I thought it was kinda cute.  It came with it's own
little house and a book with care and feeding instructions and everything.

Alright soc.single('rs).  You've done good by me in the past, I'm
going to do it again.

Another business trip scheduled.  Leaving on approx. Jan. 1 or 2
and returning on Jan. 5.

So what's in Costa Mesa.  I know it's near Anaheim (home of Disney)
and not far from Laguna Beach.  Resturants, scenic sights (to satisfy
that professional photographer in me), entertainment spots, etc.

Also, anyone interested in offering an hour or two of their time,
for fun and conversation would be welcomed.

(Lil e, I might be willing to make an exception this time.)
