Title: To date or not to date..... Post by alienspacebabe on May 12th, 2008, 10:56am This is what I'm getting matched with (yahoo, match, eharmony, plentyoffish): “The most influential person in Ervin's life has been: • I would have to say my widow.” your widow? hmm.... gotta say I've never tried dating a dead man before “I have been divorced for about 14 years and still can't meet the right person who will accept me as who I am.” um…. how the hell can you meet people if you stand them up? (this guy has stood up at least 12 women on the first date. yes, one was me - after he begged and begged me to go out with him) “About Me Lets see I like all kinds of things!!! Women, cars(1967 Cougar) the way a woman looks when see is getting ready to cum!!! “ uh, yeah... this one looks like a winner! (GAG!!!) “So i started taking Pictures, all of them are taken by me let me know what you thing. Like so me feed back. Thinking of taking a class.” what can I say? Hell, I must be quite the catch to get matches with THESE guys! ::) :P |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by Redd on May 12th, 2008, 11:18am Lizzie Hun, The pickin's really are getting slim out there. I have to be honest, that even though I do gripe once in a while, I really am pretty content being single. Taking a break has really helped me get many other life situations under control. Might be worth thinking about. |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by LeLimey on May 12th, 2008, 12:38pm You know what I truly believe there IS someone out there for everyone. It's just you have to kiss one hell of a lot of arses never mind frogs to find 'em! ;) I wasn't looking when I met Paul, in fact, as many of you know, I was very anti the whole relationship crap thing. We started chatting over my picking on Chewy of all things and have never looked back. (Except to make sure Chewy wasn't following us of course) Having said that, I also met David when I wasn't looking and the less said about THAT the better so I suppose in summary what I'm trying to say is Don't Look.. but with your eyes open! ;) lots of love Helen |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by pattik on May 12th, 2008, 1:16pm Internet dating is a very legitmate way to meet available men, so don't be too quick to give up on it. People who look like dopes in their bios often don't have very good skills at marketing themselves, and even first dates can be deceiving. Married folks and others in long-term relationships who have been out of the dating scene for a while don't have a clue how the Internet has helped to open up the dating possibilities. It sure beats meeting people in bars where a little alcohol can really mess up your better judgement and keep you from asking the pertinent questions. You can also meet new people when you get involved in charitable activities, political campaigns, adult educaton classes, and groups in which you have a real interest. You are in a situation which is envied by more people than you can imagine--free to start again without a lot of encumbrances. I think it's a lot like the lottery--if you don't play, you can't win, except with much, much better odds. |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by Karla on May 12th, 2008, 7:41pm When I met Ted I had given up on the male species completly. He became my best friend instantly and we became inseperable only to become lovers and then spouses. I still remember the conversation like it was yesterday on weather we should start dating or not and risk our friendship. Alas that was 26 years ago. Liz, you have alot to offer a relationship. Dont give up yet. Just remember it is likely to come when least expecting it. Keep living life to its fullest and love will find you! As far as how to go about finding love there is the internet, church, friends, blind dates, bars, bowling leagues, sporting events, volunteer work, job, etc. My son Anthony met his wife while he was working as the breadstick boy at Fazollis Italian resteraunt. She kept comming in and he keept bringing her bread sticks. She eventually gave him her phone number and the rest is history. Theyve been married a couple of years now and are happy. Just goes to show ya love will find ya when its time and in the most unlikely places. |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by barry_sword on May 12th, 2008, 7:55pm Lizzie, I am like Brew, would not have the foggiest on how to date. [smiley=huh.gif] I wish you the best in your search, the right one is out there for you. What's wrong with Dale Earnhardt Jr.? He is available and would look good hanging off your arm. 8) Imagine Casey Kane and Jr. joining you and Teresa for Dinner! [smiley=bigguns.gif] |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by DonnaH_again on May 12th, 2008, 10:53pm My opinion: Most ( I said most, not all) of the good ones are taken. Your small children are usually an annoyance to them after a short time. It's really hard to find keepers once you've left school/college, unless you get together through friends or in the workplace. Divorcees are vulnerable for two years after the split. Then they are ready to play the field. Beware. If you do get together in a serious nature, he will take "her" pictures down and put them away. If not, that's a bad sign that he's not over her. Widowers are also vulnerable, but if they had a good marriage, they miss a loving partner, so they tend to make for a good relationship/marriage. How do I think I know this? I've been alone since 1972 and have had plenty of time to experience the various examples mentioned. Now, I'm an old woman looking for a blind hunk. ;;D |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by Cathi_Pierce on May 13th, 2008, 8:55am Lizzie, it is a scary thought! I met Gil 35 yrs ago, and have never looked back......the first thing I told him, however, was that I would not be dating, and marriage was something I had given up on............go figger! As far as advice? Sheesh! Well, let's see. I am a realtor. As such(or in current market conditions), I list a house,and it takes an inordinately long time to sell. Sellers are getting frustrated, and ask what they can do to help things along. I suggestthey leave some lingerie on the floor....something really embarrassing if someone sees it..........it's about letting your guard down, and letting things happen naturally! *** Important caveat: Do NOT....repeat, do NOT decided to go to work commando, Lizzie.....you'll only catch a cold! You need to find some other way to espress the fact that you are not in the market........ Oh, and I agree with Helen.......there's someone out there for each and every person...........you just gotta find em! Cathi |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by BarbaraD on May 13th, 2008, 8:57am Well, being a single widow of indeterminable age (ok, OLD), I've decided NOT to LOOK. If Mr. Right finds me (and he MUST meet my criteria - rich, good looking, witty, etc) great - if not - so be it. But I've got enough gentlemen "friends" (and "friends" is the word that I use seriously) that if I need an escort to something, all I have to do is make a phone call - most of them clean up nicely and there's no strings attached. At my age I've found most of the "pickin's are just looking for a nurse or a purse and I'm not willing to give either - guess I'm just selfish, but I like my independence and I'm just stubborn enough to keep it. Have a lot of "well-meaning" friends and realatives who are always telling me, "he's single - you ought to go after him!" My favorite question is, "Why?" Guess what "Dear Granny" is trying to tell you girls is: make friends with your guys - if a romance is going to develope it will - if not you've got a friend. A lot of times romance gets in the way of a great friendship. Now carry on.... Hugs BD |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by Langa on May 13th, 2008, 9:29am I hated dating - the whole thing. And when I decided to stop looking, it happened. I was quite content being single and doing my own thing. Then he came out of nowhere and swept me off my feet...I hate when they do that. Good luck Lizzie...All I know is whoever he is, he better treat you right, because there's a lot of brothers/and sisters here who won't like it otherwise. Love, Langa |

And there in lies the answer to the whole thing....The harder you look the more elusive a true relationship becomes. I really think that when you activle seek a partner you tend to not be your self and that is where mismatches happen. I learned a long time ago that you just have to go with the flow and if it happens it happens. I am over joyed with who I have in my life and I wasn't looking for relationships. -P. |

Title: Re: To date or not to date..... Post by Annette on May 13th, 2008, 6:28pm Dating can be fun if you just live in the moment and enjoy each others company. Dont project too much into the future , as in is this person going to be a good provider, taxi driver, house maid, pool cleaner, dish washer, car detailer ... or whatever else you were lacking in your life. Healthy relationships happen naturally when 2 happy fulfilled adults find interest in one another's personalities and experience. If you set out looking for someone to fill your need, you are setting out for a co dependent relationship. It will fail for sure and will hurt you in the long run. |
