Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ms Southworth" data-source="post: 98827" data-attributes="member: 312">Great update with John Ross and his date! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  It may just be me, but John Ross comes across as being somewhat immature! But maybe that was your intention, Karin? I mean to "show" the age difference between the two?  <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/think/m1703.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":think:" title="Think    :think:" data-shortname=":think:" />I'm surprised that Paula is so understanding! I mean ... if a guy had said to me what John Ross said to Paula (“Um…I’m sorry babe, but I have to get going. ... ... But I’d love to see you again.”), and if the guy on top of that also had cut the night "short" by leaving so soon, I would (even at her age) - without a doubt - question the guy's true intentions. But then again, Paula and I may be looking for something completely different in a relationship! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/think/m1703.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":think:" title="Think    :think:" data-shortname=":think:" />   It just seems weird to me to say "see ya" after having spent a couple of hours in the dark at the movies! If they'd have dinner prior to the movies, things would be different, IMO! If I had been Paula in a similar situation, I'd cut my losses at this point, especially when the guy said that he had other more important engagements than me, not only on this particular night but also in the days to come. John Ross doesn't seem sincere, first of all because he said "um" twice and secondly also questioned meeting at a night club next week). Who would do that (if you're really into someone)? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" />Of course, it's possible that I'm reading way too much into this, but anyway ... ... that's the way I've interpreted the scene so far! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />It's a bit disappointing that Sue Ellen and JR didn't get to meet Paula today, but maybe that's because you've got something else up your sleeve, Karin? I can wait, you know! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/fun/m0157.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dance:" title="Dance    :dance:" data-shortname=":dance:" />Please update soon! <img src="http://www.allsmileys.com/files/sweetim-communicate/6278.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":best:" title="Best    :best:" data-shortname=":best:" />   If you plan to take some days off to celebrate New Year's, then I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance!  <img src="https://www.smiley-lol.com/smiley/fiesta/fiesta8.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":ny6:" title="NY6    :ny6:" data-shortname=":ny6:" />      <img src="https://www.smiley-lol.com/smiley/fiesta/reveillon/vil2_reveilon11.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":ny11:" title="NY11    :ny11:" data-shortname=":ny11:" />      <img src="https://www.smiley-lol.com/smiley/fiesta/champagne.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":ny7:" title="NY7    :ny7:" data-shortname=":ny7:" />    :ny1:</blockquote>
