Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack who had been searching for love for many years. He had tried everything from online dating to speed dating, but no matter how many dates he went on, he just couldn't seem to find the right person.

One day, Jack decided to take a break from dating and focus on himself. He started exercising regularly, eating healthier, and pursuing his passions. He also started volunteering at a local shelter, where he met a woman named Sarah.

At first, Jack and Sarah were just friends, but over time, their friendship grew into something more. They discovered that they had a lot in common, and they loved spending time together. They bonded over their shared interests and values, and soon they realized that they were in love.

The two of them started dating, and their relationship only grew stronger with each passing day. Jack was amazed at how easy it was to be with Sarah and how much they complement each other. He finally felt like he had found the missing piece in his life.

One day, Jack took Sarah on a picnic in the park and proposed to her. She said yes, and the two of them were married in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by their loved ones.

From that day forward, Jack and Sarah were never apart. They were each other's best friend, and they spent the rest of their lives making memories and building a life together. They were grateful to have found each other, and they knew that their love would last forever.

And so, Jack's journey to find love had finally come to an end. He learned that love can come when you least expect it, and that sometimes the best way to find it is to focus on yourself and the things that bring you happiness.

Since becoming a CSer, I’ve been asked by quite a few ‘candidates’ whether I’d ever dated/been with a ‘white’ guy before. After answering them, I'd usually counter with “Have you ever dated/been with a ‘black’ woman before”? However, whether the answers I received varied or not, the answer that I gave didn’t. It was always “No, I haven’t”. And, at first I wondered why such a thing should matter. After all, even though it’s important what he looked like, I was more concerned about what he was like on the inside.

Why should that matter? For the same reason that any other question is posed on any other topic – age, height, weight, physicality, religion/spirituality, etc – it’s an obvious CONCERN.

Why would one ask about something like dating a white/asian/black/hispanic/other, if there weren’t concerns about compatibility? I’ve reasoned that perhaps some socio-cultural and religious differences, ascribed to each group, may be deterrents. For example, lore (and maybe Science also) has it that black men are better ‘endowed’ than white men, so that if a woman who has only ever dated black men begins dating a white one, he would have concerns about her expectations of him, sexually.

Yet another concern may be food and music. White food preferences vs Black food preferences – bland vs well-seasoned, flavourful and somewhat spicy. Rock, pop, classical and country vs jazz, rhythm & blues, hip-hop and funk. Perhaps at a younger age before marriage (the first one, at least), aspects within those realms could significantly affect compatibility, but I could only guess at why these would matter at age 55 and up.

There are lots of things that I haven’t tried yet; some aren’t worth the risk (physically), and others aren't worth the money. But, there are still some things that are worth trying now that I’m older, and have the emotional strength and independence it takes to ‘live’ by the possible consequences of choices that may not pan out. So, the very next time that I’m asked that question, I’m resolved to answer, “Not yet, but you can be my first”.

Was it the profile photo? Or the intriguing by-line? Was it the age, the location etc...? Did you find time to read the description of the person?

People who join online sites like CS spend time creating an online persona with hope that it will lead to the person that they may enjoy chatting for starters.

But then - with so many people registered even online at that moment - why that profile?

Would be interesting to see the different answers!

I know a man, who has lost his mate to cancer.

This man, would always bend over backwards to help anyone.

Going through his loss, he has suffered emotionally, as anyone would after losing a close loved one.

I was wondering why he was always broke afterwards.

He borrowed money from me.

He borrowed money from a close friend of mine.

He has took money for deeds supposed to be done but were not.

All traits that made me wonder...how is that?

That is not his nature. He told me, he just paid off his house, right after the passing of his loved one. He was always very financially responsible, even before paying off his house. Now, after paying off his house, he should even be more financially well off.

But he is not.

That puzzled me a bit.

Come to find out, he is online sending women gift cards.

I can go into a detailed psychological breakdown as to why this is. But, I will sum it up just briefly.

He is an emotionally vulnerable man after his recent loss of his loved one (partner) in life.
He is now trying to fill the void.
But, you have man haters out there...that enjoy making millions a month online.

Lonely traumatized men...beware. I recommend you taking some time learning about what is now becoming the norm online with some of these websites.

I need to talk to this man.

But when emotions are at play...............rational explanation is difficult.

Women are genius at emotional manipulation.

I have seen videos out there where women proclaim they are proud of this.

Not all women of course....but they are out there...they are hateful, angry, and money hungry.

peace all

My Life Partner should have is love n caring nature.

I believe that the chemistry between two people has to work out for a smooth, strong & long term relationship.

I want a man... who
look for a woman who is more traditional, cultural and somewhat religious too.

When choosing a partner
you are becoming a part of the..... family and so there are a lot of stuff one... need to look at.

We need to be truthful with each other about what we do, think, and feel.
Share our feelings....
in short
Be honest and
expect honesty.

Partners often have different desires, opinions, and ideas. They have the right to think differently.
Partners need to respect each other’s' unique points of view.

Be fair and expect to be treated fairly.

This is very important...
Decisions that affect both partners should be made together with one another's well-being in mind. Partners need to be able to compromise.

Prayers.... I
Always trust in God.. for a
good..
relationship. Because God is the one who can help you secure a good and successful relationship.

The very important ingredient of having a long distance relationship
is....
constant communication.

believe me it works like a
magic(but. ... honesty
maintained)

If there is no communication,
there is no understanding.

that is all now... folks.

It is the 21st of January already and time move so fast for those who have lots of things to do and very slow for those who want to move as they are stuck in a rut.

How do you spend your Saturday? If you can go anywhere today, where will you go? What will you do?

Have a good one everyone!

... To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life!


You can’t build a lifetime relationship on love alone"; you need a lot more!!!


Love is not the basis for getting married. Rather, love is the result of a good marriage .


Choosing a life partner should never be based on love.


When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, no one wants to make a mistake.. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50%, it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach to finding Mr./Miss. Perfect Right! If you ask most couples who are engaged why they ' re getting married, they ' ll say: "We ' re in love"; I believe this is the ..1 mistake people make when they date.
...
this will be continued.....
another day...

I am going through a divorce and honestly, I just want to make some friends and distract myself from the massive change I am experiencing. I understand I am not the only one in the world who is experiencing stress, but I don't know what else to do other than reaching out. Anyway, if you would like to chat, feel free to message me. Thank you.

As a single person, you don't get touched. You don't even realize how important it is until someone touches you (in whatever capacity that encompasses) and you find yourself hypersensitive to their touch.

How does that make you feel? Do you welcome it? Or wish they'd bugger off so because it makes you too cognizant of what you're missing?

I know this is a weird blog, but I'm single and I wonder things.

Whilst growing up, I learned that there was an implied difference between a woman and a lady, as well as a man and a gentleman. But, aspiring to behave in a ladylike manner (which my parents, and early teacher tried to instill in me), only began to happen in my mid to late20s. It wasn't that I made a studious effort (like 'finishing-school' level), but I became more mindful and left my tom-boy ways behind me.

I also begun to expect more from the men that I dated, looking at and listening to how they behaved and spoke amongst other people. Even now, I have such expectations of myself and the men that I meet on here and offline, that I sometimes wonder if I'm operating in an outdated manner, or that the 'lady' and 'gentleman' posture is either a myth, or just wishful thinking.

Google has lots to say on the topic:



What do you think? Are you old-fashioned like me and think that it's reasonable for me to expect gentlemanly traits?
