Hi to All!

I am new! And I am half German half American (not my fault). I grew
up in Germany and still live here.

Hope to hear from you soon!

[Simonetta]

Hi Triathlon! Welcome to the board and especially to this thread. Lovely to have an American here. What we do in this thread is play a game: one girl asks a question, then the next one answers the question and asks a new one.

The current question is

[Triathlon]

Yes, I am very patient with others but sometimes not with myself.

Have you become more laid-back growing older?

[Simonetta]

Absolutely. :)

What's your favourite place in the States?

[Triathlon]

Edisto Beach

I hope I spelled it right. It's on the East coast near Charleston?

Do you think there is a soul-mate for everyone?

[Simonetta]

Not in the sense of one exclusive person that is out there, meant to be found by you, but certainly I believe in the phenomenon that with some people, it just clicks right away, that you feel that their minds somehow work very much like your own does - that there is a spontaneous intimacy of souls not necessarily accompanied by physical attraction.

According to your experience, are physical and intellectual attraction related - and how?

[Triathlon]

According to your experience, are physical and intellectual attraction
related - and how?

Well, that's a tough question!

If you see a woman for the first time, she can be overhelming attractive
till the point you discover she is not like you assumed her to be.

On the long run there is no physical attraction without intellectual
attraction. But it is not only the mind I am interessted in but also
how she sees life, job, friends, family etc.
I fall in love with small things wich are not necessarily obvious to others.

I don't know if I have answered the question?

Why do we fall in love with people who are not good for us?

[Meeresrauschen]

Because they challenge us the most and add this way to our growth

What do you like the most about yourself?

BTW I am new to this part of the forum. I hope you all don`t mind if I am joining the game?

[Triathlon]

I have no endurance... (Not a very nice question!)

In which situation where your ashamed?

[malene]

When I lost my temper at work (only 2 weeks ago...)

:angry:

Do you remember your last nightmare?

[Simonetta]

I hardly ever have real nightmares, but I do remember a rather weird dream with negative imagery that I kept thinking about for a long time. :shudder:

Do you think living close to the sea would change you as a person?

[regenbogen]

What a question to ask... :gruebel: I like it!
It might not change me as a person, but I think it would make me feel calmer and happier.

Depending on which you like best, the mountains or the sea, what is it that fascinates you?

[Simonetta]

Hey, interesting question, too. :) Ok - I don't like mountains. Hills yes - because they offer surprises and give you the possibility to look down on things without losing touch with them. Mountains scare me - they lock you in. And I simply LOVE the sea. I love the wind - I cannot even say why, but it makes me feel soooo good and free. Also, the pure space that the sea offers to your eyes... Here, every horizon is full of things. The sea forces human beings to leave some spaces empty.

Can you answer the question, too? :)

[regenbogen]

I can't really explain what it is. The mountains just don't do anything for me (yes, except for making me feel locked in occasionally), but the sea opens my heart. :wub:

I remember a day trip to the mountains with a friend... it was an extremely beautiful winter day, blue sky, harsh rock, white snow, some green grass, and a clear bright sun shining over it all, and had we taken pictures we would have won any photo competition hands down. Looking at all this splendour, I asked my friend: "Und, geht dir jetzt das Herz auf?" She replied: "Nö. Dir?" "Nö." I rest my case...

The sea, on the other hand... :wub: Whatever the weather, when I take my first look at the sea it makes me take a deep deep breath and marvel at the space and the peace. Walking on the beach with my feet in the rippling waves or sitting on the beach with a book just listening to the turf is my idea of perfect happiness.

Has "mountain or sea?" ever been an issue when planning a holiday with your family/wife?

[kawa]

That I would understand everything, when I was grown-up. :rolleyes:


Would you like to be a child again?

[malene]

Certainly not.

:rolleyes:

Would you?

[kawa]

No. :D


For what reason would you leave your current city?
