michael63ca: in the Same boat! I have been on this site for awhile now. I think if you are looking for any kind of a relationship, you're going to have a hard time finding one here on Connecting singles, there does not seem to be anyone here that is actually interested in one. Most ladies are content to just blog and write in the forums, the mention of actually meeting usually scares them away.
(Just my opinion/experience here)


It seems so - however if you get a chance to go to a CS 'get-together' in your area - it works - it is a great way to meet socially - to connect. I certainly feel that way after going to the Get together in Glasgow a few years ago -

monistee: Hi there. First off the name is Joe. I haven't being on the dating scene for 17 years. I have had only two relationships 18yrs and 15yrs. So in the last 34 years I haven't dated much. I need some advice. I have always being old fashioned. I was brought up that a man takes care of his woman, and his family. And now that I'm single. I'm looking for a lady, to spend the rest of my life with. I know that were in a new age now. How are women attitudes on that. Do I have to change with the times. Were do they stand? Thanks!

Likely from your history you will find another long term relationship shortly - you obviously, from what you've written have the capacity to select the lady to spend the rest of your life - so it is a good and serious question as to whether you need to "update" your dating attitudes - good old fashioned manners never goes out of style - best of luck.

grin as to what are women's attitudes about having their man take care of their woman.....

Personally, I love the idea of having an artistic house husband - where I earn the dough in the work world and he makes a home life for us..... course.... that never happened.... crying I can still dream

venusenvy: Welcome to C/S and the world of internet dating. You sound like a nice guy, just a bit out of practice. There are no real "rules" just be true to yourself. Good luck!


Hi venusenvy. OUT OF PRACTICE? It sure shows doesn't it! It's true. I even find myself feeling like I was in high school again. When even writing a women. I can't imagine what it's going to be like in person. I know I will be OK. I just hope my words come out right.

I will probably sound like, I have a speech impediment.

I, I, my names Joe. Whats whats your name.

Who knows it might turn her on!

It's all worth it. When you find that right person. It's one of the greatest feelings in the world! With out a doubt! You know that. Right!

I do apreciate your freindly welcome. And I wish you the best! Joe

felixis99: I agree with you completely! You sound like a great guy. I don't think a woman would object if you paid for the first date, but if she offers to pay you might suggest she leave the tip, for example, if you are in a restaurant. At some point she may want to treat you too if you have been paying for the dates. I think it would be gracious to accept.I always think issues of who pays in a dating relationship when you go out is best left up to the couple - no right or wrong answer -


Hello again, Felixis99. I understand what your saying. I guess I'm wierd. I would never let my date pay for a thing. If I asked you out! Which I would if you were closer. I would feel very uncomfortable having you open your wallet. Growing up, my Grandfather or my Dad never let a women pay a dime. That's including their wives or female freinds. And I guess that's instilled in me. And in all honesty I would feel like a piece of crap! And I'm sure most me would feel the same. As well as they should. Your asking the lady to acompany you. Sorry to all for my mis typing. I'm tired. Trying to stay up! You have a great night Felixis99!

well good grief man, get some sleep!sleep I am sure you will find a woman with your same values. Some women like to pay their share when meeting a man first time (if they have never met before) because she doesn't want him to think he's "entitled" to anything because he paid for the date. I am like that to a degree, and I'm not saying you would be like that - but some men are - they think if they buy you a few drinks it entitles them to "favors".....ummm....NO

Nessa7: How about floristry ...... You can start by sending flowers to all the beautiful ladies out there

.........................................................

Best of luck to ya


Hello Nesa. I could do that. But I would have to send them to a lot of ladies. Especially you! Love your look, and most importantley your profile. Your hot. But, I'm not here to hit on anyone. Wait, yes I em.

I've sent out a few flowers, to some ladies. Who I'm attracted to by looks, and their profiles. Had some responses. But a few haven't been on here for a few weeks.

But after reading some guys comments. I don't know if I'm in the right place. I'm not into bars, or drinking pubs. The reason is your talking with someone, either drunk or on their way? I can't see every women scamming on here, like everyone is saying. Or maybe the men who have found good women, haven't written about it. I know they're are some good people out there. Look at the good women who responded on this thread. Including you! I truly wish you the best. beer

Hey Menu11. The minute you log in anywhere. These sites, and others put you on their list? I subscribe to the, Wall Street Journal. And I get so many offers for stocks. It's unbeleivable.
Just part of the web. You have to weed them out. Have a good one. Joe

Hey Flexis99. Thanks, I've had my sleep. Now I'm raring to go! This form can be addicting. I like reading the treads. It's interesting. I hope your having a good night . And your right. A lot of guys think that way! But, I'm not a lot of guys! If sparks fly, they fly. But on the first day, I'm wanting to get to know her. If we hit it off, it will come in time. I'm looking for a partner. Not to get laid. I expect nothing!

And what if she tries to have her way with me! Hmm. Have a good one. Joe

yeah the world has changed it's called going with the flow and the internet has opened up a whole new world & adventure's in life and lifestyles & choices. I feel that todays ladies are very indepenant and times have changed the way couples are , most couples these days work re- the cost of living so the old school is out for good JMO. Best of luck with you meeting miss right wine
