How is it that this girl looks so damned old? It makes me feel old!
I was just watching Cherry 2000 (a crappy old 80s movie) and she was like... maybe 20 there.
Oooh... 2014-1985 = 29 and then + 20 something... so she's like 50 something... geeze, the time has not been kind to her.
Most folks don't look like they did when 20, when they get to their 50's Why is it, if your an actor or a popular music maker, everyone expects them to look as they did in their youth when 50+ Even those I still know from my youth, that still look younger than they are, don't look anything like they did when they were 20 y/o.
I love ya now go kill yourself https://www.cbsnews.com/new...il-today-2020-01-23/ That's right boys, this hot young thing is out of jail and boyfriendless...since she convinced her last one to commit suicide...C'mon...look at that face...don'tcha just feel sorry for her and just wanna go right out and sweep her off her feet?

! Working Girl ! Yeah, in this role she had reminded me of a gal I had dated briefly in the '70s. So, I am anticipating that the beliefs of resurrection are true, so that I may correct my regrets and errors I had made then.
! Tequila ! Minutes later, she was hauled upstairs over the shoulder in that designer dress, caveman style. A romantic comedy. Alec Baldwin played a bit part, as himself, lol. There was another role, ' Something Wild '

Funny that I should come across this post about an hour after I emailed a woman whom I last saw back in 1980. She was this sweet attractive 18 year old that I was totally infatuated with, and dated a few times... and then I sort of messed up. I've regretted it all these years. Anyway, I stumbled across some contact info for her today... so I crafted a lovely email (if I do say so myself) and fired it off tonight. It'll be interesting to see if I get a response.

Yeah... I've got a similar story. Not to be found, however.

I think a lot of us have probably suffered a "similar story"... of lost opportunity while young (and stupid) with a significant other. The uniqueness of being able to re-connect after so many years of no contact isn't lost on me. We're planning to meet for coffee later next week. There better be a large pot of it, as we've got 40 years to catch up on!
You linked back to this thread from the "time travel" thread.
Seemed appropriate.

It was interesting. She's unattached, never been married... so there was no "significant other" that I might've annoyed by making this appearance from seemingly out of the blue.
Before we met up, she had made it quite clear (in FB messages) that this wasn't a date, that she was quite happy being single, and that she had no aspirations for this to change. She set the "ground rules" right off the bat. Fair enough.
So... we met at a coffee bar/cafe... and talked for four hours. There was lots to cover. Unfortunately, I'm much too sentimental for my own good... so the milestones in my life that I was bringing up were the deaths of my parents, my best friend dying, putting down my dog... you know, not exactly uplifting stuff. She wasn't complaining, but in retrospect it was rather hard on me. I felt kind of drained afterwards.
I also found out during the course of our conversation, that my total infatuation with her 42 years ago was not mutual. No, I wasn't crushed. Remember, I'm in my 60's now. Besides, I had always suspected this. She explained that she was only 18 years old at the time, just a kid, and that she wasn't seriously interested in anybody back then.
Anyway, we covered lots of ground. It was a pleasant enough conversation. It's funny how all these years later, her personality is still the same as I had remembered. She's a smart cookie and well-spoken. I was still attracted to her, but I didn't feel there was anything (from her) that might hint at a second rendezvous.
So when I got home, I sent her a short FB message thanking her for meeting up with me, and wishing her the best. I was basically saying thanks... and good-bye. I figured there was no point pursuing this. I was rather surprised therefore when she replied a short time later stating that she wanted to stay in touch... and we have been... basically every day with FB messages. Over the last two months, we've now gotten to know each other (through these messages) a whole lot better. We're supposed to get together again this week. It's only taken 42 years, but I think I might finally be growing on her. Maybe. We'll see.
"What are the odds that both of us are axe murderers"
Nah, only one of us is.

Expectations are being kept in check... but thanks, Raydar.

Ha ha, great shot Don. I'm not too sure that any "prince" will be making an appearance, but we'll just continue to take it slow and easy and see what happens.
