Women are full of surprises. You never know what they are going to do.

Who in this economy has money for a date?

Ruth, knowing what you want does not make you sour or bitter. It makes you smart and if you are honest about it in the beginning that is a good thing.

Duh, the guy is overseas, lonely and you have been nice to him. Anybody in that situation is going to develop some type of emotional attachment. He does appreciate all you have done for him. Just don't lead the poor fellow on.

Honesty is the best policy. If people weren't so hung up about getting a relationship going right away, maybe folks could have some fun and a relationship might develop. All this relationship pressure and talk can be a real turn off.
Why do people need to have all these expectations and just go sour when their unrealistic expectations are not met?

If you feel it is a duty then you definitely should not be in a relationship.

Do the duty? What's that all about?

The mystical link that people try to ignore in many cases is the sexual attraction. If we look at the person in a sexual manner then we are considered shallow. Thus, we must come up with all these other reasons why we want to date or see a person. They can be the greatest person in the world. But, if that sexual attraction and chemistry is not there, something will be missing in the relationship.

I know we all want the whole package. Let's be honest with ourselves and understand the dynamics between relationships that cause that special spark. JMHO

I have high standards and am very picky about who I choose to date. So, I am the one with the problem. Not necessarily the other person. But, I have always been that way. I am not interested in quantity as I prefer quality.

Some women over 50 are Hot and some are NOT. If a women is
hot no need to ask the question. If she is not you a can beg and ask all you want. She is probably not going to change.

Reality Bites.

Based on the feedback I have gotten it is a: YES
I also like to make the women feel sexy. It is all good.

Kudo's to Houston for being such a mature and understanding woman. Although I am surprised that the ex's wives don't have a problem with the friendships.

Personally I would not get involved in the domestic disputes.

I like to see everyone get along. Life is too short for negative feelings.

Only problem I can see here is if the ex's want to get back together with Houston because they are such good friends.

It amazes me how immature people can be. Just because people are adults it doesn't mean they are grown up.

Sure, I would go back a year ago and dump all my stocks.

Over 7 years now.

Ask the person what they are interested in and do some research in that area.

I would be a manwhich. I'm not telling what my version is because I would be accused of having raging hormones. Kinda an inside joke if you read some of the other forums.

Have fun all.

A women that is easy going and does not allow emotions to over-rule common sense.

Wow, you people get so serious here. Once you are over 50 it is all downhill anyways. We could be dead tomorrow.


Enjoy life and have a little fun.

I would have a tough time getting involved with someone who takes life so seriously. But, I could get seriously involved with someone who didn't. Is that an oxymoron or what?

Have fun everybody life is too short to sweat the small stuff.

What about the old saying "If you don't use it you lose it"?

When you are over 50 your surely don't want to lose it.

Seriously there are health benefits to being sexually active.
