sassy49senior: I am also sorry I did not make myself more clear. I also
was generalizing with my answer. Yet I was looking at
myself as one who is sometimes afraid to step away from
where I feel comfortable. Because of my fear so to
speak I lost someone I am very fond of. As for myself
I will take those wee baby steps into something I may
feel is not quite what I want.



And you will gro with something that you dont want, and down the road u will wonder why??? THEN you may wait a lil longer the next time, If you see from the start you dont like it DONT GET IN IT ! confused dunno

Jan1305: Oooh I think it is jbibiza.


We are in such a similar position you and I... having been married and raised our kids and divorced at still a young age and stayed single for a looooong time, we´ve made good lives for ourselves so maybe it is asking a lot for someone to enhance that....laugh

thumbs up Think you´re right, but there must be somebody who can do it.....maybe? dunno

In the meantime, we are lucky that there´s no real pressure or deep yearning for it. If it happens great, if not, well we´re still good no?

I understand what you mean and of course I would not
consider dating someone way off my course so to speak.
I am referring to the smaller things such as weight,
looks, smoke or non smoke. I would like to find someone
who has some of the same likes that I do , but not
afraid to try something different also.

Exactly what, is "settling for less"??? Less than what? Less than me??confused

In my senile old mind, that would make me "better than", I ain't..

Now, I am set in some of my ways but I am willing to try to do things differently. What the hell, maybe another does have a better way of doing things..dunno

What I do know, and know without doubt, I have absolutely no intention of ever living in cold/snowy weather again. Nor, will I live in California again, sorry all you Californi peeps but I simply do not like that state and I am not afraid to admit it..tongue

For the time being, I am stuck where I am, and I am perfectly happy here, perfectly happy doing what I do, and perfectly happy with me..grin

If A woman were to tell me she will not settle for less, she is telling me she thinks she is better than me and that would mean I have absolutely NOTHING to offer her..sigh

Such is life...........cool

Yes, we still have a good life and we both know how to play, which keeps it interesting... and if a good playmate comes along, wonderful, if not we still have lives.

I think the biggest difference that age makes is that we no longer feel the pressure you do when you´re younger to get married, start a family... and I think a lot of people are looking for someone else to provide security in their lives rather than create their own.

I believe in the "lottery" test.... if you won the lottery tomorrow, would you stay with your partner, it´s surprising how often the answer is no...

No Pat, settling for less doesn´t mean you or anybody isn´t good enough. It means not settling for less than we feel we deserve. That feeling, which is confidence basically, results from age and experience and has nothing to do with declaring one is "better" than another.

Cold or hot climate is of course an issue for some, but at the end of the day shouldn´t be the highest priority in the scheme of things, unless there are health reasons for it.

Having said that, it would be an exceptional man to get me to move from Spain. laugh

So dunno you just ruled out a California, and cold weather, so isnt that about half of the population, so you are working against the odds! Nothing wrong with your opinion, This is the point i want to make known, Some of us , MANY of us are limited by our own decisions,, This is you , this is great , because you have to live with it , and if that is what makes you happy thumbs up

Oh no please.
I came to California when I was three. I can not wait to leave. I am done with raising children and caring for the parents. This is the beginning of a new life. I have not lived in the cold but I was conceived in it. I feel life is just a journey, on the road to many adventures. I am from the Raven clan, and I will fly away. heart wings
