RE: How old is too old!

Hang in there lady! After reading your article, I'm here to encourage you about the men out there. I've had the same thing happen to me: guys younger than my son "hitting" on me, telling me that age is just a number. Then again, I've had guys old enough to be my dad (and just as appealing) message me. Guys are guys. They think they're God's gift to women. Just slough it off and keep on searching. Sooner or later there will be an age appropriate guy with at least half a brain who shares similar interests with you. Until then, the delete button comes in very handy. Good luck!

RE: How To Stop Wasting Time And Money On Dating

Your advice works well for people who live near each other, but for people like me trying to find their soulmate on a different continent, should we reach the point of purchasing a plane ticket to meet the one we think is our soulmate, we're pretty much in a position where we think we've found him, so there is no 30-minute first date for us; hopefully our "first date" will last a lifetime...

RE: Scam Profile Red Flags

Everything you say is correct. It's just that it would be more convincing if the article itself were free of typos...

RE: How To Stop Wasting Time And Money On Dating

If he's having a great time and I'm having a great time, then I see no reason to cut it off after approx 30 mins. If a date did that to me (and I'd like to hear the excuse for bailing if he's having a good time), then I can guarantee that there'd be no second date. Just m.o.

I could write a lot more on the issue of overanalyzing things or guidance for the socially inept, but I'd rather hear from people who have tried this advice and came out successfully at the end.

RE: Charmers or Dorks? Which Should Women Choose?

I say choose the dork. He will usually humor you by allowing you to select his clothing and even do a makeover....so in the end you will have a dashing prince who treats you like a queen.

Mr. Suave Charmer thinks he knows it all and will probably not be very cooperative in changing his personality. You can not change his clothes on the INSIDE! Only HE can do that....not likely.

I'll take Mr. Dork. Actually I prefer the word, "Geek", as in "Geek Chic". hahaha

RE: How to Get Men to Talk

This is true. Going through life I thought that I would always be an open book with no worries but a lot of things had grown on me in the course of my life that has tried to keep me from sharing my feelings. Now keep in mind that I am not born rude, I just never felt the need to ever to dig that deep and share my feelings because I never had anyone to share my feelings with until after high school. I found myself having a difficult time expressing my feelings and thoughts and when I did I still kept most of what I was feeling and thinking to myself because I was afraid of what I thought might happen.

RE: Want more dates? Show your face.

It is very easy to forget or be unaware that we are sensual beings, i.e. of the senses, eye sight being the dominant one, hence we receive very quickly a great deal of information with regards are present surroundings, likes/dislikes/maybe and so on, in all aspects of life, I say no more

RE: 10 Reasons to Avoid Dating a Married Man

I agree with all the points this article above says but:

It is very Black and White and leaves no room for love, and circumstances beyond a person's control.

No one really knows how two people feel or whether a man loves his wife more than another woman he meets.

I have never gone out with a married man because of the reasons above.

But:

I do believe that there are some men who really fall in love with another woman and the above very ridged reasons for staying with his wife could destroy both of them.

I don't want to go against another person's beliefs but I am just saying don't be to ridged in your views as love does not follow anyone's beliefs or follow any rules or regulations like a church.

Keep an open mind and don't be to ridged in your views in might happen to you then how will you feel

RE: 10 Reasons to Avoid Dating a Married Man

Hi
Dating a Married Man.

There are many reasons why a married man dates other women or one woman.

Why he expects her to stay the othe woman I don't know does he think he is just so appealing that she will stay his concubine for ever of until he wants to try another woman.

OR

Does he really fall in love with another woman because he was so young when he married he had no idea what responsibility and love was.

This I think is one of the main reasons for infidelity, as the man grows older and wiser he matures in many ways and find the wife he chose is no longer his equal in anything, they were teenage lovers and he has grown out of that scope of his life.

What should he do:

Stay married and unhappy or just have the other woman on the side because of his children and parents hers and his or make the break and let everyone get on with theie lives.

I don't think a man just plays around in some cases because he he wants to hurt anyone but he cannot help it if he falls for another women who suits his maturity and place in life.

Stay Married and Stay Unhappy both the husband and wife:

If he has achieved as much as he is going to and the feeling is not going to happen again what should he do????

By the feeling I mean he is not going to get bored again and go through it all again I think the whole family would be better off with honesty and living in a household of love no anger and bitterness, A person cannot go on living in dishonesty for ever.

This scenareo can happen to the wife as well so she might have the same problem and date a married man.

Life is so complicated and nothing is just black or white, the person might really love the married man and he might really love her so let's not have another person go down the road of Princess Margaret.

RE: The importance of the headline

The Headline

This paragraph takes me the longest time to think about what to say.

I want to put something eye catching, humerous, different and so you think I can put any of these things down NO, my brain goes to sleep with the Headline.

I try to hard and what eventuates is nothing anyone would like to read more than once if that.

After reading this article, I will try again it is not that I had no idea how important the headline is, that is the problem, I know how important it is and my brain shuts down.

I want to write something equal to Shakespeare or my literary professor, and all I can think of is I am bla bla bla, nothiing.

In conclusion

Most of us have the same problem, from what I have read.

The shortest part of my profile;

That needs a really catchy irrisistable reading, nothing appears that makes a person want to read any more, (Not that I am sure about this), but that is what I think.

How about I start and ask for volunteers to complete my headline, what they would like to read.

Have a great day,

Have a good day, my first time in the US of A, I was so taken with those words (we did not use them in Australia at that time), I found those few words facinating.

A few words can make a difference.

RE: How to Give Your Boyfriend Requested Space

Firstly I am really enjoying these articles;

One thing I have noticed is that it is all for the man. His space etc., don't we woman want our own space? I know I do.

I need time to do my own thing without a man,
To either clean my home, go out with my female friends, spend time on the computer, it is amazing how much I have learnt from this site.

I also have enjoyed cemmenting what I have learnt by writing a comment on the articles I have read.

The thing I did not like about this article is as I have
already mentioned in short, why is it all to please a man.

What about us ladies, don't we have the right to ask/demand/walk away if it becomes to much, something we need from our relationship, (our needs).

It is not always pleasing a man to me, you become a door mat.
I don't think men really appreciate door mats unless they are control freaks, and

I believe this type of man likes the fight if he does'nt get his own way, so for him it is two fold, so leave him alone, unless you want to be a door mat and punching bag.

In conclusion:

I like my quiet times, space whatever you call it, so I can feel refreshed and ready for the next date (which I will be looking forward to much more after the break for myself).

The lady who was worried about being overweight to me you looked great. You have nothing to worry about, and take my compliment as it is sent to you, with my siincere best wishes, if a man loves you he loves the package you are, the total you, your soul, mentality, and looks.

RE: Wowing a First Date

I think this article was very interesting, I really enjoyed reading it and I also learnt some interesting points for my first online date (which I am in a turmoil about before I have been even asked out).

I think the point that stood out for me was
To Be Myself, no acts or B/S, how long can any woman keep an act going?. Myself not for long and if I end up really liking the guy I realise what a mess I have got myself into.

I really like my first date and he thinks I am someone else who either he likes or who puts him off.
What a shame, was my self esteem so low I did not think I was good enough so I needed to be someone I was'nt especially at my age 53.

Thank goodness I have grown out of pretending and if I make a big boo boo at least he did'nt like me the real me.

I am OK as a woman and the first date no matter what age is anxiety provoking so as the article says if I have my plan (my questions and interests in my head) I am not as likely to get tongue tied and boring.

I do like to look good, but that has been me for as long as I can remember, so it is not an act if he gets scared off he is running from ME.

Introduce myself that is a good one I would have thought it comes naturally but if I am anxious I might forget and not start the date from the beginning, it also shows good manner. It could start a good conversation about my home town and his as well as the conversation follows. I must remember it is not all about me, I don't want to have to do all the talking a content silence gives us time to get our thinking into gear.

Thank you for the article
