I'm thinking of updating my profile and would like some feedback...Thanks! Should I open up a little more?

I think its great! Good Luck in Minlge! Wish u the best

Thanks! It's hard to know what to say about myself and my current situation...I'm not quite ready to date in "romantic ways." I'm still getting used to living life without my husband of 24 years...I want to take things very "slow."

I am told the best way to get over marriage is to ravage a cub

I think your profile looks great & you've told enough about yourself without revealing too much. I do like it when those puts in the info on appearance/lifestyles instead of leaving parts blank. Religion is a big issue for me as I won't date certain religious backgrounds. Having children living at home is another issue for me because I've raised my own kids & won't start over. Something me & my current BF is working on now as he wants me to homeschool his 3 daughters on the road since we'll be traveling soon if all works out. I've homeschooled my son but don't want to do it again. I wouldn't want someone who wants to have more kids, etc. So, saves a lot of questions or "I didn't know's" later. Welcome to Mingle!!!

Thanks to you and everyone for the feedback...You brought up some good points... Are you going to homeschool your BF's daughters? Good luck with everything.

I really don't know. It's really complicated as his ex-wife would be going on the road with us & he'd set her & the kids in their own place. His life is on the road & he's missing his kids. If I homeschooled them he'd be able to be with them more. He prefers me to quit working to homeschool leaving me dependant on him & I like my independance. Something we'll have to discuss when he returns home from IN. I'm not sure a life on the road with kids is the best of ideas. I didn't plan on meeting a man with young children but they are great kids & we'll have to make some compromises.

Hi, I would leave off the "who are you" etc part. You should get that from his profile. Otherwise for such a short profile it is right on. It says volumes with very few words. As time goes by and you are more comfortable you might want to add a few details but for now, given your situation it is spot on!

I too am a writer and a widow, so maybe I get more than you put in writing.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry that you lost your husband. Has your writing helped you deal with your loss and all of your feelings? I don't think I would have survived if I didn't let my feelings pour out through my writing...Talking helps too. But I'm not always with other people and everyone doesn't understand what I've been going through since my husband died. Thanks again for taking the time to write and critique my profile.

Does your BF play or sing in a band? I hope it all works out for you.

Your profile doesn't say a whole lot about you. I'd take out the "How about you? Who are you? How would you describe yourself?" and leave that for when you're chatting with someone and getting to know them, as your profile should be about you. Write a bit more about yourself and what you're looking for.

maybe put under construction as your title
