Default How do you see your cousins more often?

hi how do you get to see your cousins who live 3 hours away more often, dont see them alot because just miss them and miss the weekends going there, but taking your car up isnt a option at moment as while it is a good car it at moment has some things that need fixing and cant take it till some things are fixed.

would meeting half way be a option for a weekend, how would you ask them without telling anyone your car currently has a few things that need fixing.

Also been asked where are you likely to find nice single girls in a small town to say hi, talk to one on one and have girl best friend no commitments

Best thing would be to get your car fixed. Then you'd be able to go see your cousins and take out girls if you run into one. What's wrong with the car at the moment?

That's the Holy Grail my friend... good luck in your search.

Although another option is to look at leasing a girlfriend once a week

Sometimes you could wangle a two-for-one deal...maybe that should be two-on-one

Seriously if you want to find 'nice girls' in a small country town it all depends on the small country town. I live near a small country town where it is apparently ok to go into the main supermarket in a teddy, fluffy slippers and loose dressing gown (and no underwear) mid-afternoon to buy milk and bread. She probably wasn't a nice girl...

The best way would be to join a group or organisation that caters for people that have the same interests as yourself, so if you like dog/cats/cars or helping people then join a group of people that like the same thing. At least then you can meet in a social setting and not only will have one thing in common to talk about, there may also be more than one person you can talk to. Likewise if you like 'nice girls' you could join a social group attached to a church, although if you start questioning their belief system that may not set you up very well for friendships...

Plus if you suddenly find out she only has a 2 Star safety rating you can upgrade to a 5 Star the next week.

Why the hell would I want to see my cousins?
They're all from the side of the family that needed more chlorine in the gene pool.

And beware the two front airbags that look the goods but deflate due to pressing malfunctions.

You could always ask them when and if meeting on a weekend would be possible for them, and trying to work some time that suits both people out, or if you can then try and borrow a car from a family member or friend.
Alternatively you could try and get your car fixed sooner so you could go see them, or see if they want to help you with the maintainance or repairs of your car.

And if you don't want to tell anyone your car needs fixing, then it isn't sensible to put it on the internet because so far 215 people now know your car has things that need fixing.

Default Re: How do you see your cousins more often?

The easiest solution that I implement with cousins is to just not see them, its a great cost effective solution and that way there will also be reduced wear and tear on the car resulting in it not needing to be repaired as often, if its entirely necessary the odd phone call can be made at special occasions to keep things civil.

This allows you to save your hard earned pennies to splash out on all those nice singles girls that you now have time for who dont live 3 hours away.

Check the classifieds in the local paper. Plenty of girls in there.

I can guarantee from personal experience it's cheaper than buying in the long run, and much easier to update to a later more sporty model model
