Thanks Sweetestgirl

WELCOME TO MINGLE! I HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR

OMG HOW COULD YOU READ THAT 3 TIMES? I WAS SO FRUSTRATED THAT I COULD NOT FINISH IT THE FIRST TIME!!!

OH WOW! I just read your profile and there is NO way I would date you at all. You seem to be very controlling and very rude. I actually could not even finish your profile because I got irritated by reading over and over about electrical device. Good Lord change that profile!!!
I have to admit, IF I went out with you...I would take my cell phone and have one of my girlfriends call me just to make you upset. Heck who knows I might even bring my laptop!
Please, you have to know that you are obsessed with things? I think maybe you have an OCD problem? You have to realize that the world does not revolve around you.
Do you realize that people around your age are going to have children and grandchildren? You stated in your profile that you do not want someone with children living at home because you want all the attention focused on you. You seem like a selfish person..WHEN people have children and grandchildren, a lot of their attention are focused on them! Sorry but that is part of life!!
OMG I COULD KEEP GOING AND GOING BUT WHY!!!

IF you both share the same feelings, what are you waiting for? SERIOUSLY, who cares about age..it is just a number! You need to get over the age thing..do you know how many good women you might be missing out on?
Now I do have to agree..when you said I'm afraid if I don't act soon she will loose interest, that is a big red flag for me. That shows me that you have no confidence in yourself. IF YOU BOTH TRULY FEEL THE SAME WAY, YOU WOULD NOT BE WORRIED ABOUT THE TIME FACTOR!!!
All I can do is give my opinion because you are going to do whatever you want BUT I say, ask her out on a real date and see how it goes. What is 1 date going to hurt? I do not want to be blunt BUT do NOT let anything happen because I truly believe that sex boggles your mind. When you have sex right away with someone, you don't know if you like them for sex or if you like them for who they are!!
JUST DO IT!!!! GOOD LUCK
(when I say just do it, I mean ask her out.)

You are very right Pacific, some times people just need to talk to friends and it makes a world of difference. Some times it is good just to have a friend listen to you vent. It is a blessing to have friends that you can count on to cheer you up...kudo's to you!!

When you least expect it, that is when love finds you! Sometimes it is right before your very eyes and you don't even see it.
Good luck

I don't know, Izzy I think you are kind of mean. I just don't think you understand about illness...I have been sick for over 13 years now and I think I have dealt with it pretty good. I do not have any mental issues it is all physical, I had cancer and I survived that. Now I have migraines and that makes my life a MAYBE LIFE!!!
I think before you judge each person, you should get to know something about their illness and not be afraid. Lets face it, we all are going to die one day..we just do not know when.
MG...I think you are a man with class. It is a shame that more people do not feel the same about the human race like you do. Kudo's to you my friend
JENN...never give up on finding love, someone that is a true gentleman will love you for YOU. Welcome to Mingle btw!
As for me...I think I have said enough...have a good weekend everyone!!

If you have that gut feeling that he is cheating...usually he is cheating!!!

Don't you love those dreams? I had a dream and I could actually smell my Dad. I could feel his arms around me and I felt so safe!!! I always hope that when I go to bed, I get to see my Dad again!!!

Bulldog...you have that right about the only regret!!!
I was playing this game..I should have said this or I should have said that. I did this for 2 years until I realized IT IS TO LATE!!!
Just make sure anything you want to say to your Dad, it is said and you are not left guessing about anything!!!
Again, I know your heart is heavy. You are in my thoughts and prayers!

Another thing, make sure you say everything that you want to say to your Dad. Make sure that he knows exactly how you feel about him. Have those long talks with him, even IF you do sit there and cry. NEVER forget to tell him you love him every single day, even if he is grouchy because this is not really your Dad.
When your Dad is sick...he is going to be grouchy. I know my Dad was grouchy all the time so we gave him the nick name of OSCAR THE GROUCH...he would just giggle.
Please any one who still have their parents...NEVER TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW LONG YOU WILL HAVE THEM!!!
GOD BLESS!!

GLG,
I am so sorry about your Dad. My Dad was very sick with stomach cancer in 08 and he kept hanging on and we put him on Hospice. I could not tell him it was alright and take God's hand, so I asked my Mom to do it for all of us.
My Mom went to my Dad and told him this:
Don't worry about the kids and the grand kids, I will take care of them. Take God's hand and let him lead you to Heaven. We all love you and we will miss you BUT this isn't good-bye, we will see you again in Heaven. Thank you for being a good father, grand father and husband and friend. Now it is time for you to think of yourself and stop the pain. We love you Frankie and we will see you on the other side.
My Dad passed away with in 30 minutes, it broke my Mom's heart to say it to him but it was breaking out hearts to see him suffer. We all think he was waiting to hear that it was alright for him to go.
If you can not do it, have someone else do it that is close to you. My Mom did it because even though they were divorced, they were very good friends.
My thoughts and prayers are with you because I know this is breaking your heart. I know my heart still aches for my Dad BUT we will meet again someday. I think about him every single day and when people tell you the pain goes away...they are not telling you the truth, I am still feeling the pain and it will be 5 years on Dec. 31st.
God Bless you and your Dad

WOW this sounds very similar to what my boyfriend asked me to do. He wanted me to quit school and spend more time with him because he was feeling left out. BUT I wanted a career to make our lives so much better but he did not want to be patient.
What do you think I did? LOL I am here right! No man should ever ask you to ever give up your dream, IF he does then he is being selfish. You didn't state what your dream was and it really does not matter, BUT if he was truly IN love with you...he would do everything possible to help you reach your goal.
If you really stop and think about it, when we fulfill one of our dreams then there is always another dream that we have. Is your mate going to bring you down every single time? You have to go for your dreams and IF your partner does not stick by you...walk away.
You only live once and you have to do what your heart tells you to do. If you have a dream and you are truly IN love with this man, sit down and talk to him and tell him that you are willing to let him go IF he will not support you. Maybe once he realizes that you are serious, he will wise up and support you...if not, so long!
GOOD LUCK!!

If you think about it every time you start a new relationship, you over look all the bad points that you should say OMG that is a red flag. I say that people can fall in love but I wonder some times if true love does exist.
I have talked a lot to my friends about this...think about it, when you first meet someone you think that nothing can come between your love. BUT in the end it seems like the one thing that attracted you to this person ends up being the one thing that you can not stand about that person. Why is that?
IF TRUE LOVE DOES EXIST...I HAVE YET TO FIND IT!!!

So if a younger woman dates an older man...is she looking for a sugar daddy???
Every thing is such a double standard anymore. Men can date younger women and all the other guys tell him how studly he is. BUT when a woman dates a younger man, then everyone says all he wants is sex or money? Why do people always think this?? You can not think it is one way for men and another way for women!!!

If someone doesn't want to spend important time with you, why would you want to be with them at all? You have to look deep within yourself and know that you are more valuable then that.
Good luck and I hope you can make the most of this!!!

When my kids where little, the nursing home always put on a big thing. I only took my kids there and then we came home and made popcorn and watched tv.

Just know that if you have a relationship with a married woman, it will never go any where. Why would you want to get involved with a married woman? Can't you find a single woman?
You are taking a big chance of her husband finding out that you are sleeping with her. That can get your behind in a lot of trouble. You better pray that her husband does not have a temper and does not own a gun!!
I think it is a bad situation for you to get involve in BUT that is your choice. You should run and run fast!!!

I don't get into Halloween...it has always freaked me out. I don't answer my door because people are to mean. I know one year we had kids dressed up in really scary costumes knocking at our door at midnight. They better be careful doing that up here...people own guns and they don't mess around. We shoot and ask questions later!!! These were big kids in their 20's...who does that?
