Julie Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Well, I may be well on my way with my "perfect match". The new man in my life, is a Raspberries fan (only, he didn't know it ) I asked him if he liked Eric/Raspberries, and he said, "never heard of 'em". So, I popped in a Raspberries CD and "Go All the WAy" comes on and he starts singing. Good sign. BUT, when the next song came on, "Don't WAnna Say Goodbye" and he starts whistling and singing, I said, "you know this??" and he smiles and says, "ya--I guess I do!" Very promising indeed! WoooHoooo! Lol! And ladies? He's adorable. Think "Wally Cleaver"! Lol!--Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Sounds good so far, Julie! Hang on to him and keep training him!Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Julie, Sounds like you found a real rare catch! A guy who likes the music and isn't jealous of your admiration of them! ENJOY it!!!! Congratulations! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 The first song I played when I met my husband was "It Hurts too Much". He said he loved it, and asked to borrow the tape to listen to the rest of the music. At that point, I knew this guy was the man for me! That was 1989, and we've been married since 1991! So, the fact that your new man didn't run screaming the other direction is a very good sign indeed. Now, does he have the sort of sense of humor that will keep him alive here on the Eric Carmen forum? If so, he's definitely a keeper!Of course, for those of us that know you Julie, we'd figure it's him who is the lucky one to have met such a great person as you! He's very fortunate to have you in his life, and he obviously has wonderful taste if he likes you. I bet there are many jealous men out there who would love to spend time with you.

JuliaAllByMyself Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 One of the very first things I said to my hubby when I first met him was, “Have you heard of Eric Carmen?” Luckily he had, and then spent most of the evening serenading me with All By Myself. That was back in 1984 and we're still together (and he still serenades me with Eric songs!) Good Luck, Julie ~ your guy sounds very promising indeed!

Julie Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 He's pretty special indeed! He loves "I Was Born to Love You" as the words really seem to fit us!Update--He bought me a promise ring today! I'm really excited! Here I am at 44 and never married or engaged or even "shacked up" with a guy! He wanted to get me an engagement ring, but we think that is going to fast.Thank you for the messages of encouragement! Any chance that Eric could come to the wedding and/or reception and sing "IWBTLY"??? Wow! I guess I'm just dreamin'! Lol!--Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I met a girl who came on to me because of my "Addicted To Eric Carmen" license plate holder back in 1986. She loved Eric's music...She turned out to be a mental case who went back with her abusive ex-husband.So Julie, It's not 100%. There are other things to check out...You know...Like what does he do for a living?...How does he treat women?...How many shallow graves does he have in his backyard?...

darlene Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Julie, Congratulations! It's a really good sign when his agenda for this relationship is on a faster track than yours (!) Alright! I see the story line now: "Can a lovely and loving girl from Iowa find the love Eric sings about?"YESSSSSS!!!!! He really sounds genuine and fine. The fact that he cares so much about you (and you about him) is the single most important thing. Tony's absolutely correct--how he treats you (and people in general) is an accurate barometer. You are so loving and warmhearted, you deserve all the best. (And you'll have it!) --Love, Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordharris Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm hoping to find my same interest love soon, maybe I will find my love during my period of book signing or during the second and third.That would be a great book mark for me huh?

LostControl Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 A very good sign indeed that he wants to buy you jewelry! Hope he continues that for years to come! My husband now claims I own too many rings (is that possible???), so I can't have any more. Guess I have to branch out to bracelets now! If I can't admire the jewelry I'm wearing, I really don't think it's worthwhile owning it - hence the reason I rarely change my earrings or necklaces. Good luck with him. I'm amazed at how fast the relationship is moving. He probably sees how beautiful you are and doesn't want to risk losing you. After seeing your picture, I can see how he would want to keep you around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwannabebymyself Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Julie: You mentioned having Eric sing IWBTLY. I always thought "Love is All That Matters" would be a great song for a wedding. Good luck..but be cautious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Enjoy Julie....but GO SLOW!!!! I'd be suspicious of anyone exclaiming lifelong love after a few dates/weeks...even months!!!He may say "I Wanna Be With You".....but he may only mean that he wants to " Go All The Way".....and then you'll end up " All by Myself".....this leads to "Starting Over".....

LostControl Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Tony, You sure haven't had much luck with the ladies, have you? Stalker chicks, rabid Eric Carmen fans, me with my whips, chains and family sized jar of Vaseline.... It amazing you don't have more scars than you already do. BTW, how's that one across your back doing? Sorry about that... I slipped.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 My sweetie met the parents this weekend and all went well. Whew! Tony--have already checked out the shallow graves. Just a few bones.......lolHe's really into "April Wine"! How interesting is that? Seems as if I've heard that group mentioned quite fondly around here!---Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
