In my years on this site and others I have learnt a few things, each thing I learn, I try to use in the next 'relationship' or 'pair bonding' with varying degrees of success (or the lack of it)....
Getting on for three years, I'm of the opinion a single life with a small mix of good male and female friends is the most practical thing for me, and its all down to life experiences...
So, have a look at some of the pratfalls below and give your take on them if you so wish.....
1/... 'Never tell a woman how nice, or how attractive another woman is'...
2/... 'When dating, dont get involved in the family dynamic of your date...
3/... 'Never appear eager, clingy or desperate, we know that, but how distant is too distant....
4/... The 'honesty' tag in profiles, is that a burn mark that wont go away?....
5/... Is it the end of the relationship road for those in their late 40s?....
6/... Male stereotype, young lads, studmuffinns and messers, old blokes, emotional burnouts?....
7/... Female Stereotypes, young women (pick something!), mature women, trust issues...
8/... Dealbreaker, smoker, drinker, kids living in, husband/wife on the scene, cash hoover, meanness....
9/... How do you know your in love?.....
10/....Wild Card....Ask anyone to answer one of the above...
You can of course tell me to sod off and mind my own businness, but consider this, a man once said to me, "there are no stupid questions", that was untill I asked him for the answers to my Sociology Exam,...
I'm not looking for answers, I already have the ones that apply to me, but, but there will be people reading this to whom the dating 'arena' is missing some lions, sure, aren't we just providing a public service!....
OK, lets see whats out there....
