  • Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
  • Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first – remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
  • Don’t complain if he’s late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.
  • Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

So this guy describes himself as ‘attractive’ but puts a photo of someone else on his profile? If anyone knows this 26y old single psychologist called ‘Tom’ who loves football and snowboard, star sign Libra, length 185cm, from Antwerp (how many can there be?) could they give me his coordinates? I’d like that picture removed before I end up with a Chinese stalker.

Thx Susan!

Melancholic

You Have a Melancholic Temperament


Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.

Given enough time alone, it’s easy for you to find inner peace.
You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.

At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.
