I find it rather simple to find dates, but hard to progress to the next level.... no sex appeal... but it's not you , it's me....

So I am interested to know what difficulties you face the most with dating and relationships?

With dating:

Is it distance?

Having the courage to ask someone on a date?

Knowing what to do on a date?

Knowing what to say on a date?

Age difference?

Not much in common?

Worried about scammers?

You just want sex, not a relationship?

Or is it something else?


With relationships is it?

Lack of communication?

Not knowing how to effectively communicate?

Lack of sex?

Not knowing how to have good sex?

Sexual incompatibility?

Lack of intimacy?

Not knowing how to communicate effectively with your partner?

Or is it something else?




To the pre-relationship part (let's call it dating phase):

First of all finding a real match is the hardest part, which can include several things you mentioned above.
And then other things not mentioned. It's the compatibility issue (personality, character, goals, believes, ,attitudes, etc). Even if you find the almost-"perfect" partner for your part (happened before!) in order to make it a match the other person still has to feel the same about you or be actually really available for a personal relationship (long term/marriage in this case). That is the hardest part, finding the infamous "needle in the worldwide haystack". Even if someone is willing to go the distance, in my own experience it's very rare (and I even mean that in the literal sense - worldwide!).

As far as in a relationship:
Usually the most relevant reason for problems (or eventually breakdown) is failure in communication and understanding of what is really communicated. One (or both) partner may say one thing and it is totally misunderstood as something else because of different perception, sometimes the lack of communication at all. Another reason is selfishness (can be one sided or both) and finding mutual agreement on issues or problems , etc.

Perhaps it wouldn't be so difficult if you asked your wife. Unless she's pissed at you for being on a dating site? slaphead

The most difficult part in my opinion will be the ability to commit. Commitment is the most difficult part. Having to settle down scares a lot

The problems I have faced is:
men not being honest(as in hiding there identity, lying about being married)
some wanting to change me
running from a relationship
lack of effort

I have little earning potential unless I go self-employed, but my motivation is presently nonexistent.
I have been a caregiver for decades and sort of crashed now that I no longer have to be -so hopefully that will change.
I haven't really had a social life in a very long time -and have become comfortable being reclusive.
I have a rather grim world view and am not hopeful about the immediate future.
I have other-than-mainstream religious beliefs and observances that most would not share.
I don't date or other things "casually" -and am not settled enough to start anything serious.
I'm either too quiet or won't shut the hell up.
I have a weird long hair that keeps growing from the top of my ear.
I have more baggage than a traveling luggage salesman.
I could continue, but.....

:p
