boats and romance

[eherlihy]

If living on your 21' boat doesn't impress her, perhaps your career choice might. It seems that your current occupation as a marina manager isn't impressing her. Perhaps you should take a stab at journalism....

Good point about age. I assumed we were talking about adults here. Parents would want to know.

Drew -- How old are you?

I wasn't criticizing Drew for his attempt at communication. Clearly, some of you were willing to wade though txting as writing. I'll do that too, but that wasn't the point.

If Drew wants others to take the effort to read what he writes, and give him some advice, he may want to put some effort into making his question readable. It was (unsolicited) advice, not criticism.

BTW - drewdunn is cooler than all of you.

Naaa, I don't criticize the writing of others. The moment I do, I'll make an easily spotted error.

Drew owns a marina. That already makes him cool -- I don't own a marina. Cooler than me? That depends on what we are talking about.

Perhaps your sailing vessel is a little too small if you get my drift.

(uh, you mean that whole "motion of the ocean" thing being more important isn't true? crap.)

hiya guy,

Now then thanks for the replies all have been read and listened to. Now then what the question was ment to try and ask is how to make my boat romantic, cos the girlfriend owns her own 36 footer so boat she loves.

Now then the reason i ask is cos my boats dead small and she says that the bigger stuff is better me on the other hand believes that the corrbee is mint.

Now then inregards to my age i am 22 nearly twenty 23 so we are talking about adults and the reason i ask is cos sick and tired of splashing out on hotel rooms to get anywhere with her even tho i know she loves me and i love her.

At the present i live on my boat and yes i do own the maarina and as soon as the deads come through i will own the house that is on the marinaa but the leagle people still have them. That should make a big diffrence cos that means me and her can move in together. personally would rather live on my boat but am trying for now to make my boat romantic so we can move on board.
help is needed tho cos its not going to well and that why i asked the question.

and smack daddy thanks for telling everyone i am cooler than them cheers mate

Hm, I see what you're asking now: How to make your small boat romantic when the girl owns a 36'er. You gotta make it clean and cozy. It'll help when you own the house.

It might help if you were to learn how to write and speak English properly. Literacy is under-rated... and being literate is rather helpful when trying to communicate. While some of the issues may be due to the differences in the vernacular between British English and American English, a lot is not.

To clarify the situation:

She owns a 36' sailboat, which she loves.

You own a 21' sailboat, which she doesn't like.

You want to make the 21' romantic enough to attract her to spend time on it—when clearly she thinks it is too small and uncomfortable.

You want her to move aboard the 21' boat with you.

She certainly isn't going to move aboard a 21' boat, if she isn't even comfortable to overnight on it...

You need to get your priorities straight. Is spending time with her your priority? If so, then you need a bigger boat. Trying to convince her that the Corribee is the right place for her to be, overnight, much less to live on, is a lost battle IMHO.

You can beat your head against the wall over and over

I don't blame her.
