Don't we all. Welcome to Mingle2 and best of luck to you!!!

Hi from Michigan!!! Your profile says soon to be retired. How you managed that in our state is amazing. Anyway welcome from someone soon to be 50 who doesn't see retirement in her future.

too funny Ruth.

Been on here since May of 2007 when it was called Just Say Hi. I have met wonderful friends from all over.

While I've never made any love connection on here or really met many men- I wouldn't give away the friends I've met for the world. There's not a better place than here for that.

Yes, we are and I have met several from here-so they are really REAL.

I won't say never, but almost never on a first date. I don't want someone to know where I live initially until I have been out with them at least once and then they would have to know how to make it, cause I don't drink coffee.

Welcome to Mingle2 and you certainly don't look grandmotherly. Have fun, join the forums and best of luck!!

With my first love it was two Rolling Stones songs- Wild Horses and Angie. Songs have changed depending on who I am with at the time.

Best of luck to you and I know we have members in your area.

Welcome to Mingle2 and best of luck to you!!!

You might want to try posting in the forum for your area. Best of luck and welcome to Mingle2.

There are some of us from Michigan. Welcome and best of luck to you!!

Jeanniebean- if the cards are the ones you developed, they are quite lovely.

What's in store for me?

Best of luck to you in your search and welcome to Mingle2!!

Well I guess according to you Krupa-I would be a slut in your eyes. I love the person I was with and he loves me. We still talk, hang out doing stuff-no sex, have mutual friends and will always be in each other's lives. We care what happens to each other and know we will have some kind of connection. We will remain friends because we choose to and want the best for each other.

Didn't view you as someone so shortsided. To each his own. I have lots of friends and some enemies. Slut is never a term that's been applied to me. This touched a nerve in you somewhere. I guess I'm more open minded than some on this site.

What a surprise ending...and I love surprises. Great write J!!!!

Quite truthfully, I entered into mine knowing it wasn't going to last even though we did have feelings for each other. Don't assume I am looking for a bunch of short term relationships. I was open to finding the one for me, but it wasn't happening. I saw no reason not to spend time with someone that was funny and energetic and sexy. I wanted to enjoy my summer.

He knew that and he always told me I would find someone soon. It still hasn't happened, but I do put myself out there hoping for an eventual long term relationship. I am still friends and do things with the guy I had the short term relationship with. If you go into it knowing it really can't work out: ie. I'm done having kids and he would want to start a family eventually-there's no way for either of you to be surprised.

It takes two people being honest with and wanting the best for each other to work. If you trick yourself into wanting more-you really have no one to blame but yourself. Some people can have a profound impact on your life and are never meant to be permanent. I choose to be greatful for whatever happiness comes my way regardless of time frame.

Good looking guy Michael. Too bad I don't live in Vegas. I will be visiting in February since my best friend is getting married there. I'm always up for meeting other Mingle members, if you guys are interested. Last year I met a friend from British Columbia there.

Well, here's to us all getting out alive.

Welcome to Mingle2 and best of luck to you!!

uummm.....yeah!!!!
