I'm asked this bloody question so often..I usually cusp my hands to my face just staring at the screen..Best reply I'm able to give is that I've misplaced my last pack of Depends.

I've often asked myself why why why do they ask this question?..For me you either click or you don't without even trying..Everything should just flow naturally on all counts..

Am I wrong in thinking these people even though hurt many moons ago are meeting woman/Men hoping to see a glimmer of their ex in how they converse/mannerisms ect....Of course people can be completely over their ex but subconsciously maybe just maybe they do miss those good times they may from time to time reflect on when feeling lonely but would never dare to admit?

I'm not one for putting up threads I'm not a very good OP when it comes to replying to people..Anyway if you have an opinion it may help me grasp the question that I'm often asked.

Thanks.

I am looking for mutual compatibility where both wants to be with each other equally. One sided deals are no good, both have to be into it if it has a chance of working.

There is always the risk that it won't work out in one way or another, you kinda have to give so much trust and with that comes the risk of betrayal. One of the bad things about love.

We all take a risk when we walk out the door.

Have you ever been in love?..

If you were ever in love do you think maybe just maybe when chatting with woman that your seeking a glimmer of your ex with her replies in the sense of when you and your ex had good times..So therefore you feel comfortable pursuing things further?

I been in love, of course it never worked out but it was good while it lasted.

I don't look for my ex in other women, I like women for who they are.

I was having meet ups out of curiosity for 30 mins after the gym on a Saturday..

Many asked what am I looking for..Thing is majority would comment on things like your smile reminds me of my ex...My ex had long hair but not as long as yours just little things like that..Now why would these men be at me to meet up with them again if little things about me remind them of their ex?

They are not looking at you, they are looking at their ex that they want to see in you. You are not their ex though and they need to understand that and look at you for you and who you are, not for what they want to see.

That's my whole way of thinking...I was amused because like I said I was curious about people behind a screen nothing more..I'm sure many woman are asking men the same question I'm often asked..I'm sure many woman see traits of their ex when meeting face to face that appeal to them of their past when it was the good times.

How tiring for those to attend a meet like a walking bloody resume.

You two should meet in the real world..You have a great rapporte with one another.

For me, I had true love..in a non-dysfunctional way....A healthy marriage...meaning, we never put each other down...we had our disagreements..but..we did not resort to name calling or belittling the other...looked..inward..and admitted when we were wrong...

We were each other's best friend..and biggest supporter...no keeping score...

Pretty simple, respecting one another..in every way.

What I have found on dating sites..

Broken men..who are divorced...and, have bitterness..toward their ex....still...AFTER 10 years or more.

Self-reflection..

Change yourself...

Admit to yourself ..you're not perfect...cause no one is.

I always compared online dating to used car sales.

Track & I are like brother & sister..Would love to meet him in the real world as one of my best mates across the globe.

Admit to yourself ..you're not perfect...cause no one is <<<<<<<<<<<<< Yep those words have been spoken by me many times for real

We all have flaws but in this day & age those who think highly of themselves refuse to accept other peoples flaws except for their own.

Thanks lovely hug

It is all about respecting yourself.....Cause if you don't , no one will...

With that..gotta gotta get some sleep..

Someone is looking at my home..for a second time..

Fingers and toes crossed..they make an offer..

I am so ready to downsize..to much more easy peasy...

Met my oldest for lunch yesterday...And, we actually had that conversation.

My youngest daughter has a neighbor who has that. A monogamous relationship with trust and loyalty..but will never live together.

Once upon a time, I would have never thought I would want that... now, it is the perfect thong for me.

A really good guy...but let’s me be me...and doesn’t try to control me.. nor me him.....

Funny how life makes you change.
