Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

Was she going to move there on her own or due to you? If she is going to move due to you there might be a big problem. She sees you as Mr. Moneybags and not for who you are. If that's the case you're in for a ride that's not much different than the one you've gotten out of.

In reply to:

If I can get her, gotta keep her.
Someone mentioned rebound, but I don't believe in that at least for myself. When a relationship is over, especially a bad breakup like this one, I don't even want to see a woman. That's the way I felt Sat. night and it all went away with just this one chick.
Only problem is she lives 2.5 hrs north of me. That's OK though.
I live on my own and she is already planning on staying the weekend for Preakness(for the non-locals: it's a really big horse race in Baltimore. Big deal here).

As far as rebound goes, you wouldn't know it if it jumped up and bit you. You are rebounding, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a "bad" breakup. If you weren't on the rebound you couldn't have cared less about her and wouldn't have gone on about her for the last few posts. You'd walk up to the new guy and thank him for taking her.

If the new one is already planning on staying the weekend, you're in trouble. Libras? If she even knows what it means you're in trouble. No decent woman would jump after a man whose woman just left him the same day.

My advice is to get your jeep up to date, just be friends with the new chick, and hang out with the guys for while. Let nature take it's course and for God's sake, don't let her move in with you. See if she can stand on her own two feet first before she moves in with you.

Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

She is not moving here for me. She is moving here for school. She is getting her master's degree at Towson University. I don't plan on hooking up with her too soon and we didn't even kiss or anything. Just a mutual interest right now.
Rebounding for me is looking for someone to immediately fill the void left from the previous person. I don't feel any void or loss. It kind of is a blessing.
I was actually in a GOOD mood at work today. Go figure. I am usually borderline postal there.
I doubt she will move in with me. I really don't want a woman living in my place, since it is MY place and want to keep it that way.
She just "interests" me.
The ex was kind of something to do, now that I look back on it. Not to sound shallow. She kept me busy.
Good times with her, but it was over long ago. This was just the official end.

Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

Bryan,
That's a good attitude to have. Keeping friends, fuuture prospects is a good thing to do when you aren't sure that you wan't another relationship right away. But if she is interested in you, don't let her give up on you if you don't want a relationship right now. This one is studying for her master's degree, does that mean that she is older? Older women are the best, I only dated older women after highshcool. Then I met Jeepchick, I thought that she was atlest 23, but she was only 18 when we went on our first date. I dated older women for their maturity, which I later learned not all of them had. Jeepchick may be younger than me by 2 years, but is by far the most intelligent, mature, caring female that I have ever dated. You should take her camping./wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif/wwwthreads_images/icons/cool.gif

Good luck with the Grad' student,

Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

She is 23 and I'm 24. She has a good attitude for life. She is very understanding and patient( she works with autistic preschoolers, teaching them to speak).
She is also a friend of my roomate's and he knows her pretty well.
If anything happens down the road then ends, I know that he will not hold it against me if I end up being a jerk somehow. Hell, he dated my sister and I didn't kill him. He owes me for that one.
Anyway, she's a good chick. If nothing developes down the road then I see a cool friend to drink with who is also easy on the eyes./wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif

Believe it or not, that kinda girl is out there .. I have been married to one for over 5 years now .. met her online (go figure), and she loves my Jeep more than my S-10 (go figure). She still likes to be clean out doors, but once she is dirty, and once she has finished screaming at me for getting her dirty, she has fun!

As far as cheap goes, she pays her own way .. she makes almost as much as I do!

Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

Vance, the "cheap aspect is referring to a woman who does not throw away everything in life, i.e. "relationships, cars, just about anything that can be fixed with a little TLC." That is one of the bad points of our society today, everything is designed to be "disposable". Thanks for letting me know there is still hope for me though... ; ))

Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

Bryan,
Wow, a year younger than you huh? Are you an undergrad still with her being a grad student? If so she must be smart, which is always a good quality. Patients is a true virtue. She sounds like she would be a caring woman also.

"she works with autistic preschoolers, teaching them to speak"

that says a lot to me. Jeeps are like childern, they need a lot of caring and patience. Hey you two have one thing in common, well almost. You make your jeep purr, you keep it running right, right? She teaches preschoolers autistic preschoolers ot speak. Sort of the same thing. ( Jeeps sometimes act like preschoolers, they get stubborn, don't like the cold sometimes, and like to play in the mud) While you are a Jeep mechanic, she is a mechanic of the human language. Well I guess that was more than two things, but they are all related, or seem that way because it is past my bed time during finals week.

What's that moonguy?/wwwthreads_images/icons/tongue.gif Take her camping you say/wwwthreads_images/icons/tongue.gif Why that's brilliant!
She sounds pretty cool to me also.

Good luck with this one Bryan,
Robert.

Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

JEEPNCHICK can get pretty opinionated at times, sorry for any tension in her post, she tells it like she sees it sometimes. She's a great woman, just hates to see decent guys make mistakes and get crapped on again and again. Her brother is like that, goes from one bimbo to another, expecting each to be "the one", and always gets disappointed. She's tried to tell him, but he knows best. Oh well.

She sounds great to me and it sound like you're headed in the right direction as well, IMHO. Good luck.

Isn't it funny. It took the wife and I awhile to click and fall in love, while the Scrambler, TJ, Commando, and Willys all took about 3 seconds. Guess I'm just a sucker for those round headlights. The wife jokes about it, but I swear jeeps call to me when I drive past them. There can be a jeep in a barn, I'll be doing 60, and I can tell the make, somtimes year, to a T. I've even been known to turn around, knock on the guys door, and inquire about it. I get some looks, but I've made a lot of new jeep contacts that way. Just another day in the life of a jeep fanatic.

Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

Talkin' 'bout them round headlights .. my missus wants a TJ, just because it has round headlights! She doesn't like the square ones on my YJ, so she is insisting I put round ones in!

Jeeper3 .. there is always hope .. if there is no hope, who would be alive today? Everyone would have blown their brains out .. hope is what keeps this world going! "I hope to meet the right girl", "I hope I pass this test", "I hope ______(fill in blank)_______"

The Bible says that three things are all we need, Faith, Hope, and Love. The greatest of the 3 is Love.

Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

Hey JEEPN and JEEPNCHICK.....
I've done the
[knock][knock]
Jeepdude:"Yes, can I help you?"
me: "I was wondering what kind of engine,tranny, tcase combo you're running in that thing"
Jeepdude: "4.2 w/Holley and stock tranny tcase combo."
me: "Mind if I check it out, my vacuum line are toast"
Jeepdude: "As you can see I put in 44's front & back, but it isn't running yet. Let's check yours out"
me: "cool thanks"
This guy lived up the street from my apartment and helped me for an hour or so trying to rehook those damn lines. Great Jeep attitude!!
As you all know xyj173 had the answers to those problems for me.
Just to add to your story about knocking on doors when you see a Jeep that interests you as all(except for RaGeX's lowered thingy) should.
Later all.
I appreciate the advice and support for my decision.
See you all tomorrow when I break something on my Jeep./wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif

Re: Don\'t let the door hit you in the a$$, jeepchick..

Sorry to hear about your recent break up. It is obvious that she was not the one for you and I extend my apologies that you had to learn the hard way. When Will and I first met, I knew that his Jeep would take up a lot of his time and I am fine with that. Every one needs a hobby and I wish that your ex could have understood that. Nevertheless, it seems that you are on the right track with going out and meeting new people like Melissa. She seems like she compliments you well. Most importantly she should support you in what you like to do. I hope that everything works out as well for you as it is for us.

Best regards,
Will's jeepchick
