I learned the hard way to not go to someone you've just started datings house for Thanksgiving. Worst experience EVER! They thought it would be a good idea to give my then 3 year old (she's 15 now so awhile ago) good china and crystal glass. I was freaking out the whole time about her breaking something or spilling on the pristine white carpet under the table. Plus the food was just weird. Never again! lol

I married my best friend, he was an amazing man. We were married 8 years. He changed. I worked at my marriage, hard. He used drugs. End of story. Sometimes divorce is what is in the best interest of one or both parties, or the children involved.

Thanks guys I needed the laugh this morning.

I think dating is more likely to make me switch teams than not having anyone. Lmao

Ok, so I met this guy, in person. I knew his name, first and last, where he lived, where he worked, some (not all) of his history, and the LOVE word was NEVER a factor. I am a good person, I give my all to everything I do, friendship, relationships, parenting, school, work. I cared about this person, and I was completely straight forward with him. He was with me, but not completely. He finally was, but it was too little too late, he was not my boyfriend, just someone I was getting to know, but I invested my time, and regardless it hurts to be lied to. So there you go. I wear my big girl panties all the time, I am just going to be much more guarded from now on, I forget not everyone is as caring about others as I am.

Wine gives me migraines, I prefer beer.

No reply. Give us something to work with

She is a wise woman. Personally I am not going to want to get to know a guy just by one picture. If you messaged me I would probably ignore or delete it. Sorry

Yes, very good advice. I think it will have the opposite effect though, my guard is up, big time. I wasn't going in with any expectations except honesty and respect. Guess that's too much to ask for sometimes. I hate the dating game.

Thanks everyone! I figure almost a year and a half was enough. I let my guard down with the wrong person. It is what it is and it sucks but oh well

That usually just happens when I'm talking. Lol I think my filter is broken, at least on here I can read what I'm posting first and there is this great thing called a delete button.

If you're looking for justification for cheating...keep looking. I've never had a relationship where they didn't want to have sex so IDK. If they never did I would want to know why.

Lol I was thinking the same thing...I love young boys cause they're my nephews. I love my nieces too!

She goes to the oncologist Monday. She is not doing well, collapsing just walking to the bath room, crying because her body isn't working, confused, in pain. This is the hardest thing I have ever experienced. My Mom is my best friend. I just hate this.

Thank you. I needed that

I just let myself care too much and I got burned. It just sucks this was my first "dating" experience after my divorce. 11 years out of the dating game. Guess I forgot...

I wish people would not take advantage of my vulnerability. Won't happen again. Wish I knew how to not care and not feel. Then maybe it wouldn't hurt so much. Mostly I wish my mom was better. This is the hardest thing I have ever been through. Cancer sucks!

But I feel so damn stupid right now. Walls back up, twice as high and three times as thick. Live and learn.

I think the list would be way shorter if I listed who I wouldn't like to meet.
