you have just described the perfect man. beautiful eyes to stare lovingly into, nice smile that makes you smile and strong arms to wrap around you to make you feel safe and protected.

I completely agree and also nice eyes.

Thanks very much drew, really appreciate all the help everyone x

You never know whats just around the corner, and hey it cant hurt to try. welcome

Thank guys for the advice. I cant wait to get out there and play for real. i'll keep you all posted. x

Thanks hockeychick, i'll make sure i do that and a couple of people have mentioned ebay but i heard its not a good idea when buying skates as you have to get the fit just right.

but what happens if they put me in goal i'll get black eyes lol

As the headline suggests this topic a has someting to do with ice hockey, to be more exact im going to (try) play ice hockey. so i was wondering if anyone out there could give me any advice, hints and tips on the best equipment and how not to get myself killed.

so any tid bits you could throw my way would be fantastic x

welcome

I dont have any problems with age gaps, my ex was several years older than me. and i've dated guys a couple of years younger than me.

But i do have a problem when it comes to maturity. the level of maturty has to be equal in a relationship. A friend of mine (she 26) dated a guy (he 18) for a short while and on one occation he threw a tantrum (and i do mean TANTRUM, with stomping feet and slamming doors) because he didnt have his favourite shirt to wear that day. And i think the problem for some women who have children that age they dont want to have to 'mother' someone who i supposed to be a significant other.

And also SOME women may find it embarassing to be seen with someone their childs age. A work friend of mine whent on a date with a much younger co-worker and was mistaken for his mother at the reseraunt. Needless to say there hasnt been a second date.

welcome

Welcome and have fun

so your the illusive perfect man, can we clone you

Hi welcome to the wonderful world of mingle. its a great site with some great people, and yeah its a case of showing people your here and people will also find you in searches and the mutual match thingy.
hope you have fun.

Same here hun, im from leeds and i can tell you now it doesnt get any better up north lol but when i listen to my friends go on about how there other half doesnt appreciate them or doesnt help them with things, i find myself thinking thank god i dont have all the arguements and bickering they have to deal with. but then theres always the few that do have that perfect relationship, where they communicate with each other and appreciate the other as an equal in the partnership.

There is no harm in haveing fun while your young but i wouldnt be in a rush to find a perfect guy simply because he doesnt exist, and lets face it why settle for someone who isnt right for you. I know how difficult it can be waiting around to find that one perfect person for you but he will find you when you least expect it.

welcome. great site, great people and great times to be had here
