We had been chatting on another site. He had been doing everything perfect, calling me when he said he would. It felt great.
We had interesting conversation. He was working on getting his divorce. He had said he wasn't ready for a serious relationship. I agreed. He needed time to sell his house, keep the divorce on track, etc.
Then I get a note, that he thinks he could not have the same zest for my dog as I did. He said he likes kids better but he does like dogs.
Then he was afraid, he wasn't ready for a serious relationship.
I was more upset about the problem with my dog. I also said, kids were not a problem. Not sure what kids had to do with anything since his kids were grown up. I also wasn't looking for a serious relationship unless it turned into one.
I like my Dobe more than him. I would not trade anything in the world for him greeting me at the door, etc.
Oh, well, win some and lose some. I think he had just lost interest. I feel better without him.
I said that I guess we weren't having a date Saturday, ha.

The more tales I hear about some people the more I love my dog. The guy sounds a bit of a wimp Dobe, you can do much better.

Your a special one. Most won't even entertain the idea of dating unless the papers are finalized and signed. Sorry it didn't work out but kudos to you for trying.

Well so long as you are ok with the fact that this will not be a serious relationship then go and have fun.
Dating a separated man is not something I would do for the simple fact that legally they are still married and not even being divorced yet,and they still have not fully gotten over the demise of their marriage.Even a newly divorced man would be avoided.
You're a different person though and these things may not be a deal breaker for you.

Such a sweeping generalisation...don't you think!!!
Odd that the subject of separted persons (not just men) comes up with the dogs. But anyway, the real "dogs" are the ones who say they are separated and really are not.

I don't know about that. I would not make assumptions about every separated person all lumped into one. It should be based on how the person is and how long they have been separated. Some are separated and have been mentally separated for up to years before taking the final steps to leaving the partner. Would you say in that instance the person is just getting over the breakup.
Really is too much to decipher to just outright disregard someone based on their previous relationship end the final ending.

bodleing: Oh, you appeared to be stating it as a fact.
Fact for me,but what facts are too another person may be something entirely different.As I said the op may feel completely differently then I do.Her personal experiences may be the complete opposite of mine which is why I told her to go anyway even though he told her he wants nothing serious.
