Kerry,

The PAC-10 race is pretty good and I do think the game in Tuscon will be a good one. I also like the non-USC national coverage. There are 9 other good teams in the PAC after all.

As for the dating thing, your teacher friend should be freeing up w/a lot of time very soon. One of our perks is time off for the holidays, you know.

Oh well, the Cyclones are bowl eligible, so hooray! And, for what it's worth, teachers are pretty good people... wink


For a former teacher I can agree to this.

Ok, that is 3 people weighing in on teachers being good. I suspect that the Crimson Tide fan will agree.

I have sent her a quick follow up email with my phone number. The ball is in her court. She knows that calculus was my least favorite class in high school.

Put that on your profile. Better yet, have a fancy looking differential equation as your profile headline.

Seems like there is an overabundance of teachers, here....I'll chalk it up to us being computer literate!

I have noticed quite a few of us are teachers, as well as others in "human service" type jobs. For lack of a better way of describing it I think we are "givers." So maybe the old saying that opposites attract is true and we married "takers" who walked away when they took all they could out of us. Somthing I've thought about.....

Wow, you hit the nail on the head bnd. That is exactly how i felt. Should Kerry be looking for a giver in his next relationship? I have found mine and quite honestly it is very starnge at first....

I'll second that. They were 'takers' but in most instances it wasn't blatant. It only showed up when we needed to 'take' due to emotional changes in our lives.

Then, they ran. Often to someone else who would give.

In my case, STBX's OM is simply 'there' and asks for really nothing in return. Nothing. He's a puppet.

I did have a relationship years ago with a 'giver' and it was very comfortable for a while. Other things changed so we ended up breaking up but we stayed friendly for years.

When I met STBX I thought she was a giver, and she was, to a certain extent. Just not in a long term committed relationship.

Are givers and takers in a relationship analogous to pursuers and distancers?
