Your profile is virtually blank - why not use some of your time and energy into making yourself sound interesting and engaging to the women on the board? Also, it indicates you're separated ... for many women that's somewhere they aren't willing to go. This is the 2nd thread of yours I've read tonight that basically said the same thing - 'poor me, I'll never find someone' ... do you really want someone to contact you out of pity? Of course not, so trying drawing people to you with positive energy instead. Kudos! I like you. How is it possible that 2 people are fighting over someone so 'rude'?!

My profile has enough, not looking for sympathy, how rude! That wasn't rude, that was constructive criticsm. As for your 'profile having enough' ... well, in the words of the infamous Dr. Phil "HOW'S THAT WORKIN' FOR YA, BUDDY?" |

Private Messages

Yeah because I see Threads that are very Private Message worthy. C'mon! Who wastes thread space with a two person conversation? That's inconsiderate of others and a waste of space. *thunderous applause* Thank you for saying what has been on my mind for days ... why is this stuff allowed? It's irritating when you open a thread and it's either a classified ad or a shout out to one person ... yes, I'm grouchy today!

I can say that $ is a big deal when a LTR (esp. a marriage) is ending, that's for sure! When they say it's 'not about the $' - it's almost always about the $.

told him that this wasnt the place for this and I feel very uncomfortable. Then I said my daughter is waiting for me and I have to go now. Said g'night and left. So, we can expect another 'Why Do Nice Guys Finish Last' thread sometime today?  They just don't get it, do they ... 
Hey now... as a bona fide ex-nice guy (thanks for the jacket).... I can say that I don't think making out at McDonalds on a first (or really ANY) date, is standard operating procedure.. or at least it's not in the 'nice guy' handbook. Ah, but the brand of 'nice' that starts those threads would see this his actions as 'chivalrous' ... you're the OTHER kind of 'nice', TK -- ya know, the legit kind, biiiig difference! 
Well if I were a nice guy I'd say something like 'Aww gee, thanks!' ... and then I'd have to give you a slug and tell you to stop bein' a wussy!

I was 19 once ... a million years ago, and I don't think her interest in the other guy has a whole lot to do with his age (unless she just has a 'thing' for older, more established men).
She could have just as easily dumped you for another 21 yr old - would that have made you question yourself any more deeply? Don't dwell on the why's - she didn't want what you were offering, but that doesn't mean that there aren't 100 other women fantastic women out there who would be honoured to be with you -- go find them and don't look back! |

I feel for ya lilith. I too met a guy last night. I even picked an easy place for him to find. McD's. I had to buy my own soda. And then why do they think just cause we meet them they have the right to get all tongues and hands. That is so disrespectfull. Would they want their daughters or moms treated like that? "all tongues and hands" At McDonald's? Oh, that's just not appropriate ... *dying laughing here* You ladies are making my day with your crazy stories - sorry for your frustration, but it is fun to commiserate with you!

So RO can you explain why people give the whole I don't watch TV or listen to mainstream radio line. It is such a line. It's the 'mainstream' thing that has me bothered. Somehow it implies 'radical'. I am not going to defend the guy, but first dates really are hard. You can be the funniest and most charming guy in the world and somehow, on a first date, not have a witty or interesting thing to say. (back me on this Elaine, lol) Keep fishing. At least you have a lake to fish in. *straightens out TK's leather jacket and nods furiously in the background* S'true - even the good ones can sometimes get shell-shocked (or so I hear ... having not been on an actual date yet to compile my own evidence. D'oh!) |

Maybe you should start hanging out with a better class of female. Oh, I don't know - I think sticking your tongue in someone's mouth unsolicited, and then sending a photo of your breasts is standard behaviour (after a first get together, no less) among bright, self-respecting young women - am I wrong here? *we really need an eye rolling, sarcastic smiley* |

Lilith, I won't patronize you or insult you by saying 'well, at least you HAD a date'!
Seriously, though - you raise a valid point ... if an individual is not ready to be 100% focused on someone new, then they're simply using their 'date' to assuage their loneliness; which is both immature and selfish. "... to the left, to the left" |

I gotta chime in here -- ~~ I don't have a 'type' or preference - it's totally about the individual and I guess I've dated all of those 'categories'. The comments about not being sure about dating someone who has never been married ... or had children... I'm 46, I've never been legally married. However, I was in an almost 20 year relationship that was pretty much a marriage without a license. He was divorced, with 2 small children when we met ~ I helped raise those children into adulthood, we were closer than they were able to be with their biological Mother. I am in contact with them to this day and still receive Mother's Day cards from both of them. I helped raise my three nieces, since their Mother was not in the picture and my brother was struggling. Everything from them living with me at times, to financially, to being their legal guardian, to being the only one to show up at their school and sports functions (besides my parents), to helping them choose prom dresses and getting braces on their teeth, to being in the delivery room when one of them had their child. She didn't ask her Mother or her Father to be there, she asked me to be there with her. So, no I have never been legally married, nor do I have biological children. However, I do believe I totally understand and have lived both roles. Maybe we all need to look further than what category is checked in a drop down box to get to know the real person before making decisions? Just a thought 
Thanks for comments - you sound like one of those remarkable people who gives of herself without reservation and I admire that trait enormously. How blessed the children in your life have been to be nurtured, loved and embraced by you. Obviously, relationships and life are not as simple as a 'multiple choice' quiz -- each situation is complex and unique. My point in posting the topic was just to see if others had the same trepidation about blending their past (in my case, children from my marriage) with their future. I feel an enormous burden to ensure that every person who has a direct influence in my children's upbringing be positive and accepting of not only them, but their relationship with me and their father. Again, thanks for a new perspective -- it's a great learning experience for all of us!
