I am a different person in reality

Hidden Delights

Alan Place - Senior Citizen

When I say I am two people, what I mean is if we meet in person, I am usually more reclusive than my online chat persona. I have trouble meeting people, this comes from decades of considering myself unattractive to ladies.

It was only last year that I found ladies do consider me attractive. I have an enticing personality, so I am told, all I can say is that IS me, I don't put anything on to attract a lady.

I consider myself like a Brazil nut, hard to get into, but worth the trouble.

When I took this, and other photos of Greenland in 2009, I didn't realise it would be remarkable. What makes them remarkable? In 2011, this area exploded with such force the ash thrown into the air stopped aircraft flying acrosss the Atlantic Ocean for four days

Ir was my birthday two weeks ago, I didn't celebrate it - I rarely do - though I have a lady friend in Didcot, who wishes to start a relationship with me, I miss my late wife, This will be the second Halloween since she passed away, she loved Halloween. I was never into Halloween, it is a custom from the USA I never adhered to, I can't see the point on putting sweets out for people you don't know.

Here's a question, if we celebrate Christmas, why don't we celebrate All Saiints Day, or All Souls Day?  Halloween is the beginning of All Hallows week

Svitlana's desire

Svitlana's Pleasure

A sleepover

Last night, while chatting with my friend in Didcot, Svitlana made another suggestion which came as a suprise to me. She suggested she would like to welcome the New Year in with me sometime.

Previously, she had suggested a sleepover, which I asked if I would be interested in a sleepover. I suggeted we should meet a few times, to see if we get on as well in person as we do online, I have no doubt we shall.

A sleepover is one thing, staying for New Year is something else. A new year stay could be two or three days.

You may read in my blog, most of the ideas are from Svitlana, that is because I don't wish to appear pushy. This amuses her, as she keeps saying "You can't be pushy, I love you too much."

We often discuss choices, as we regard ourselves as a couple.

Climate Change

 Frostpunk

Good news

Far from the Madding Crowd

For a few days at least, I am trading the warmth of Tropico for the cold of Frostpunk. I have tried Frostpunk before, but never got far, now I have a few days with no hospital appointments, I may try to play the game again.

I did plan to buy Frostpunk 2, but saw no point as I struggle with the original game, another game I may revisit is L.A. Noire.

Chickbait

 Why do ladies find me attractive?

What makes me Desireable?

What lies hidden?

On Chariming Talks, I have become a magnet for the attentions of mature ladies, in the last four months. I could have many female companions, but I am more than pleased to have one, my friend Svitlana, who lives in Didcot, in Oxfordshire.

Most of my appeal comes from my laid back approach, and the respect I show a lady, I let her know from the start, I won't ask for anything she feels inappropriate. She is in control of what we chat about, and can stop a conversation if she feels it has gone as far as she can accept comfortably.

I have been told several times over my years online, my old-fashioned approach is why ladies feel safe chatting to me.

To end, I do not like the term "chickbait," I prefer to think i have an addictive personality
