Looking at profiles I see where people are looking for this, looking for that...but really, are you looking ? Are you ready ?
What's holding you back from going for the one, or ones who seem so interesting to you ?

For me, it is personal insecurities caused by a failed marriage, two relationships afterwards that shouldn't have happened, and financial. I see ladies all the time, thinking I would really like to get to know that person, but I hold myself back.

What's your deal ? dunno


I have to go to work now and see what I can do about the financial insecurities now ~!! laugh

wave Have a nice day.

Culturally in my era, women waited until they were asked.

I have found from my time on here, that generally, men I have had to ask on a date weren't worth my time, no guts or backbone.

My attitude is that I have filled in the criteria for a profile and if someone likes it then they can contact me. If not, fine too. I am not in the business of chasing anyone.wine

Meanwhile I make friends and chat with people.thumbs up

I am similar to you Jeeps but in addition I have kids to see through schooling etc until they are independant [prayer emote] so I'm not going anywhere for a few years yet. As for someone coming from abroad to live with me .... I'm scared of the sudden intensity of that one. Finding a local lass is really the solution for me. I need to get out on the bus more I reckon ....grin

Well Jeeps Im not a person that holds back usually but its difficult to start an LDR with anyone really no matter where they are. If theyre not within 100 ks theres really not much future.

As for what Im looking for one word really - passion.frustrated

Veritaas: Nothing holding me back
Like a few who posted before me a certain amount of lack of confidence and the insecurity that comes with failed relationships. Other than that nothing only the fact I am wary of rejection. Wonder why???

TOO serious for me Gmes on logging of grin cheers

wave Hi K, it's nice to be free. A wee question for you, would the desination hold you back at all. i.e. if it was a very cold country where your lover was perhaps ?

I can understand that, a the past can leave scars that last a life time. Perhaps not everyone gets over a failed relationship but in time it just gets easier to deal with. For me the past is exactly that. I am not going to spend hours upon hours analysing why something failed, why, because you can see right before your very eyes happening.

Anybody can play from that short grass in the middle of the fairways.... A really good golfer can play from the rough, behind trees and out in the woods.

I'm looking for someone that is running at the same speed that I am....I don't plan to slow down; I need a lady who likes to move around both in and out of the woods.
