    Prior to that day I hadn"t even considered her an option, actually, and figured we were hanging out as friends no different than the other people I hung out with that day. And I think it was the same for her. However as the day progressed and we got drunk, there was some flirting going on and a...

    I haven"t "pursued" it. I"ve run in to her coincidentally a couple times, and a couple times she"s sought me out to hang out at events/happenings that I was already attending. That"s been about the extent of things. Perhaps if I go camping that might be "pursuing", but really I"m friends with...

    Like I said, she"s already been rebounding with that other dude for at least a couple months, including a trip to Mexico (dunno if it was just the two of them), but it doesn"t seem to have turned in to a relationship. Judging from how the two of them behaved at Folk Fest, he"s in to her and...

    That"s what I"d like to think anyway. I messaged her today and let her know I couldn"t make it this weekend coming up, but was likely to come for her birthday camping trip in a few weeks, she said "I really hope you can make it " (smilies, bitches love smilies), and not long after I got invited...

    Adventures with lyrical - buying a business

    No, you"re seeing them right. But like I said, that"s for a small business where chances are the owner/manager is relied upon 100% to keep the business operating and profitable. It"s not like you can go around buying up small businesses and just leave them to operate themselves. And as you...

    Adventures with lyrical - buying a business

    That"s a fairly standard way of valuing a small business, using a multiple of the past several years" average earnings. Generally the multiple is somewhere between 3 and 5. Different industries or types of businesses have different multiples.

    Why do you want to share ownership with someone Chaotic? Seems like it"s just asking for problems and complications.

    Yeah that"s pretty much my intention at this point, like I said I was just curious what other people thought of things.

    She"s only been there a few months, moved down for a job, she"s not sure how long she will be down there for, she"s up in Edmonton a lot, I"m down through Calgary a lot, so on and so forth. Were she permanently down there yes, it wouldn"t make much sense, but that"s not necessarily the case.

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    Oh yeah forgot to mention she lives in Calgary, I"m in Edmonton, about a 3 hour drive apart. So it"s not quite as simple as asking her out. But like I said, she"s asked me about hanging out several times, but never actual date type things; she was the one that initiated the meetup at Folk...

    haha nice, more or less the same thing for me, although I was pleased because it allowed me to keep all my banking, investing and borrowing under one roof. It"s been paid off for awhile, but I left the "Total Equity Plan" as it was and just transferred the allowable balance to my line of credit...

    It was him, not the agent. An agent makes next to zero money from selling a home for more money. They"re all about volume and quick sales. There"s virtually no incentive for them to get a better price. Freakonomics has a chapter on it that statistically showed homes that are on the market owned...

    I think if you have more than 25% down you don"t need CMHC insurance, maybe even 20%, so you"ll get a touch better rate. As far as getting approved for a loan, as was mentioned, you"ll need proof of employment and income to get approved for any kind of mortgage. So if your wife is taking a...

    Ding! I have no fucking idea what Sharmai is talking about. It"s like he"s taken a completely different story/circumstance and grafted a few facts of mine on to it. It"s actually kind of bizarre.

    Daelos is going through a divorce, but it seems pretty simple: she lost interest and has been getting poon on the side. It"s avgeek with the alternate personality psycho.

    Calling her a sociopath may be more than a little extreme, but I don"t see how any of us (other than Screamfeeder, natch) is remotely comparable. Perhaps you could explain what you mean? I"ve personally never heard of someone creating multiple fake personas online in an effort to impress...

    Again, I"m not looking to get myself in to anything with Xerxes. I don"t know a whole lot about her dating past to be honest, but in the 2.5 years I"ve known her she"s had a number of relationships that lasted a few months, and I think one that was 8-10 months long before the boyfriend...

    I"m not sure I understand the question. Xerxes is 32 or maybe 33 now, I forget. She hasn"t left anyone she loves that I know of. Her last relationship ended after she spent a week in New York with the guy and they apparently got fed up with each other after spending that much time together...

    Like I said, she"s hardly an ex. We went out maybe 8-10 times over a month and a half, if that, before we agreed that there really wasn"t much there and pretty much immediately went to being friends. Yeah, that"s kinda what I figured too. Last time we hung out it seemed like half of what she had...

    Haha never say never and all that I guess, but I really doubt it. There"s just not a lot there that I"m interested in other than her physical attractiveness. lol, I don"t think I"ve ever actually had just a hand job in my life. That shit is unacceptable. I"ll keep taking the pity joints though...

    lol, what? At no point has Xerxes ever strung me along. If anything it was the opposite. Within a month of dating she was asking where things were going etc., and when I more or less responded "meh" she went off and did her own thing and I met Anne pretty much the next week. Since then we"ve...

    Sure, I wouldn"t disagree with you in general terms. But in specific terms? It could well be that a girl at 25 living with her parents has just graduated college or gotten her first job and is saving up for a downpayment, or wants to go traveling before she settles in to her career, or her...

    I was gonna say that at 26 if you"re dating girls around your age or possibly a bit younger, a good chunk of them are going to be living at home. Maybe not the majority, but close anyway. In today"s day and age people don"t move out of their parents" basement until their mid to late 20"s. So...

    Who cares what her family think of him? The girl, obviously. At some point if what he says is true it"s going to come down to him vs. family. Chances are he"ll be on the losing side of that battle. He needs to sit down with the GF and discuss it frankly with her. Is she religious too? Is she in...

    Yeah I figured most likely as well. Shockingly (not) she"s as black as the night itself. However, the pictures are of a chick from Edmonton, or at least one of the pics I"m pretty sure is taken here due to a street sign. Will post em tomorrow. And they"re all also taken direct from a digital...

    Unfortunately playing the game is pretty much a requirement of dating, it seems. Very rare is the girl who doesn"t play some sort of game, even if it"s not a conscious decision to on her part.
