I'm sorry, I wanted to do this the right way.

The person who reads this is very lucky to have someone so insightful writing to them.

Very touching

aww, beautiful, baiden......and, when you see her, just give her your smile!!! it is beautiful, young man!!!Also, you got me interested in your heartthrob, so i went and read her a bit.......you CAN get to know someone thru their writings, you know....go back and read her again.....you will catch her essense, her morals, her take on real life...good luck, my lovestruck friend!!! thank goodness i am old enough to be PAST all this type of stuff!!! :)

So did she respond to anything you've posted so far Baiden?

Yeah Marianne, she said she just found out this morning, she didn't know what to tell me so I am waiting for her answer.

hope it achieves what you want it to achieve

Penni, you are very sweet. I am glad you are past this. I wish I was.

Once she found out, does she know who you are (as in know you to see you at the health club)?

marianne, she said she did not recognize me, thats my fault for staring at a distance and I had my sweatshirt hood last time I saw her.

Ceena, you have been a great help, your son is real fortunate.

Well I hope you'll speak to her the next time you see her in person. All this online stuff can be kind of freaky. I admire you for stepping out on a limb like you did though. That takes courage.

Baiden I think you kind of freaked her out. Maybe tone down a little and take it slower. Like I told you on a privious post there is a fine line between sheer adoration and stalking.....you are getting close to crossing it.

I feel like I am in high school passing a note back to you. Mister, I was very surprised by everything today. I tried to read your articles and everyones responses and you are right, you could have done much worse. Every member I have connected to on Gather , I have found to be very sincere, insightful and intelligent. I like it on here because they are real people.
As for you, I saw the picture you have with your truck and oddly enough. Every time I leave the gym, that truck is parked next to me in one way or another. I now know that was intentional. I would leave thinking, gee doesn't this person have anywhere else to park? So I know your truck, I just do not know you.

I left the club at closing tonight and had a very interesting conversation with the receptionist, manager and my PT. They know who you are, because the recptionist told me that you call everyday to ask if I am there. She also told me that you have been speaking to my PT about me. My PT broke down, I guess he can no longer be in your circle of trust.
Baiden, he told me everything. You asked him to ask me certain questions , that I considered as small talk during my sessions. I can only assume that when he asked me yesterday if I had ever been married, that was one of your questions.
You pretty much enlisted him to get to know everything about me. Yet through all of that, he did offer you to introduce us.
He told me how nervous you were, He even mentioned that you were so nervous, that you did something last week Monday ( you know), that I will not get into on here.
Well now I know you are an actual person and you do exist. The 3 people at our mutual hangout swear you are a decent guy. If we did not have this place in common, I would be entirely more freaked out. By talking with the gang today, they told me more about you than you have put on here. I appreciate your song and your apology. I just want to let you know that using this method was not effective because it created a stir and a sense of panic within me. I was thinking who is this person saying that he loves me and I do not know him? There is still more that needs to be discussed. Since you already have a way of finding out when I am there . I think we just need to take this back to square one and start fresh. Lets wipe the slate clean and you can do what you said on here which is basically, walk up to me and introduce yourself. Lets take one day at a time. That is all anyone can do anyway.

who ever she is i wish she would leave a comment! i want to know her side

Hey Joanna are you still on here? I am real sorry. I asked him to ask you, he was cool about it, he understood. I felt like everytime a chance came up I didn't want to mess it up. I hope you are telling me that I still have a chance, or do you want to tell me off in person?

I'm not going to tell you off. I just want to rewind all of this and you can do what you said you would do if you could. It would be much better to have a hello in person

What about a hello right now over the phone, can I call you right now, we are chatting on here anyway and I would feel better if I could hear your voice.

I guess we are chatting on here! Fancy that.
Yes, call me. I will send you an email now with #

:)

Awwwwwww YAY ;o) I hope it all works out!

Thanks for sharin :)

i was an idiot! i did not even read that comment from Joanna before i put that in. Good. joanna is really pretty and baiden is really cute. baiden you should have taken my advice about asking her for a walk or something

Awwww..... sweet! I hope you guys can be friends, if not more:)

Thanks Cami, and Karen
We are meeting today. I received lots of good advice from Landen and I am armed and ready for it.

joanna, you are such a dear to understand that baiden went sort of backwards on getting to know you...and baiden, now that you have dialog....BEHAVE!! be honest, be brave.I am sure you will treat the beautiful lady with RESPECT...luck to you BOTH!!! I feel like I know you both due to your honest approach here on gather, and if it does not work out, perhaps you will have at least gained a true friend... :)

Good luck to both of you.

Thanks Penni D. and Danielle P. I did behave.

Baiden, I am reading this backwards, best of luck, you look like a great guy to me,

Baiden... how did things go when you met?

Things went very well. Thanks for Asking Andrew
