Just why is it so difficult to meet like minded people in Dubai? I'd absolutely love to meet people like me, age 30-something, that work like crazy, can carry out an interesting conversation and enjoy a good cup of coffee or a bottle of wine by the water. Maybe I'm just incredibly boring?!?! I can't...

PrettyPenny

hahahha .... thanks for the warning GAB! Nice to meet you all.

PrettyPenny

I speak from personal experience .... if you're planning to make a move on a woman on the dance floor and she ices you in the first 3 minutes just step away cause she's NOT going to change her mind. A more definite, less painful approach, would be to make eye contact and smile. And smile again, and ...

PrettyPenny

You smell too much then

Thus my rant .... is there really a place where people CAN meet likeminded people? I think someone should start a "just friends forum", where people can meet without the added pressure of the ulterior motive. Maybe I should start one.

PrettyPenny

Thanks again for the welcome! Its lovely to meet you all.

Hmmm ... interesting one! What marriage means to me:

1) No more ME time
2) No privacy
3) More responsibility
4) In-Laws
5) Less romance/More Work

"Single and LOVING it!"

What can I say HP? You gotta give some to get some!

PrettyPenny

I need a little objective insight on my latest dilemma. I have a massive crush on someone at my office. This would not be too terrible aside from the fact that he's actually at a relatively senior level. Now, he's extremely professional and I'm quite sure has no clue that I think he's absolutely div...

PrettyPenny

The question is ... how do I approach it with him in the first place? There must be some way which wouldn't embarass me beyond belief if the feeling wasn't exactly mutual.

PrettyPenny

I agree that its important to tread carefully but I also know that the office environment is supportive for the most part if people choose to date. I personally would be extremely discreet no matter what. But the issue at hand is, how do you determine that he's in fact interested?

PrettyPenny

Hahah .... You guys are great! I'm not sure if I'll ever work up the courage to actually drop a hint, and I'm not quite sure if the hints he's dropping are actually hints or my hopelessly romantic head playing tricks on me. But if anything does come of it, (this has been going on for 6 months!) I'll...

PrettyPenny

Single and content .... Sometimes alone is good, other times its not so wonderful .... it has its benefits, as does having someone in your life ....

PrettyPenny

And the saga continues .... this man has me VERY confused .... they say its the cat and mouse games that make it so exciting .... I think this is more like hide and seek .... so many mixed messages ....

PrettyPenny

Whats to tell .... I can't get past my confusion and he's giving me mixed messages .... I'm sure men have SOME intuition .... I'm not exactly unreadable .... if its meant to be I suppose it'll happen ...

PrettyPenny

I think there is a long-term girlfriend in the picture .... recent discovery .... and also .... am a bit old fashioned, he should do the asking I think its kind of clear that I have a soft spot for him

PrettyPenny

Well plenty of fish in the sea .... in the end he makes for an interesting diversion .... shouldn't take these things to seriously unless its actually transpiring into something ...

PrettyPenny

Ok .... I've seen plenty of people ask about which qualities a woman/man should have in order for them to be THE ONE.

Lets look at this from another angle:

Which qualities are unacceptable to you that would prevent you from dating/spending time with/settling down with someone?

PrettyPenny

Yeah ... shoot down the newbie why don't you ... LOL ... thanx for the warm welcome

You go girl!

PrettyPenny

Would love to but out of town for work .... sigh .... hope to make the next one ...

PrettyPenny

I'd have to disagree .... I don't think its about being in control ... its about having the courage to not control everything

PrettyPenny

Anyway I hear I'm missing the get together and this is the big one .... truly tragic

PK/KSA/US/UAE .... take ur pick

PrettyPenny

There is no point in complaining and criticizing. If you are troubled by something make an effort to change it. Speaking up is of course great, but surely we can do something more? A petition perhaps? Rather than just leaving and saying its a horrible place to be, especially considering that all of ...

Like I said if my wife wants to work than I won't stop her from working,but at the same time I would prefer my wife to stay home and take care of the children, because that is how I was raised and that is our culture. A father can never raise children as good as mother. I would love to cook for my ...
