I'm good friends with two of my exes. I am civil with another one
because he is the father of my son. I am at a "say hi when I see him"
status with a few others.

I have not actually hooked up with someone I met online, but I do have a
friend who had recently went through a divorce and started chatting
online. He is now married to her.

Sure, why not? That is as long as they don't mind and I've talked to
them about it first.

You nailed it. I don't understand it either. Why would would anyone
want to be with someone just for their money? I mean, if you are only
with them for their money, then you must not be attracted to them. Why
would you want to be with someone you are not attracted too or have a
connection with?

What parts of Florida are you from? I'm looking for new friends. I am
new to Florida, just moved here last month.

I would just use a "dummie" pic like an avatar like mine until you get
one of yourself. Even though it's not a pic of you, it's still
something.

I see a great deal of talking going on in here. What exactly do you
mean? Private Messages? Or people not responding to you?

You do have the options on your profile page. But instead of searching
everyone's profile, I would just put up a post in the "other" category
stating what you are looking for.

Yeah, I'd say you did the right thing. It sounds to me like she was not
up for a commitment of any kind.

Do you have a special ex you can't get your mind off of? If so, what is
it about him/her that you can't resist?

I would personally box them up and leave them on my porch, outside door,
etc. Then I would call and have him/her come pick them up at a time
when I am not there. I've actually done this.

I would go back to what excited you when you first met and started
having sex. Incorporate some of that into your sex now. But, if that
fails then there is always roll playing, sex toys, videos, massage,
candlelight & cocktails and playing with food.

You just need to hit "delete topic" on the right hand-bottom side of
your topic.

Absolutely not! Would they rather you go out and find a companion to do
the deed with? Everyone needs to masterbate, why not implement toys. :)

I am an independent woman myself. I agree that men are really not
interested in a clingy woman who is dependent (nor should they be
interested). This kind of woman in my opinion sucks and should get a
life.

But, on the other hand, I have also seen men who if you are not showing
them 100% of your attention they become clingy. This has happened to me
and it totally turns me off.

To the person who started this post, I think calling once a week is good
(you could even get away with maybe twice or 3 times a week w/o being
clingy).

Soul mate to me is that someone who you never stop getting those
butterfly feelings for. Someone who even though you have not been
together for at least 10 years, you wake up in the middle of the night
after a dream about them which happens atleast 3 times a week.

soul mate is someone who is always in your heart and mind and know
matter what goes on in life, you are destined to be with them
eventually.

I can understand why people would not want to be judged by there outside
appearance before someone getting to know their inside qualities! I
believe it is essential for someone to get to know you from the inside
first. :)

That depends on who you are with. I've had a long relationship before
with a guy for over 3 years. I had butterflys straight thru. We split
up and it is now 10 years later and I still get butterflys thinking
about him.

Then you have others where you've been with them for a year or so and
are just not into it anymore.

I use to be a big time partier before I had kids. Yes, kids can
definitely put a damper on your festivities!! So, instead of going out
to party, I drink occassionally at my home by my pool.

I think the internet is a great way to meet people and really get to
know what is in the "inside" before you get to know them form the
"outside". Know what I mean? In otherwords, get to know who they
really are, before you meet them in person.
