I actually enjoy walking and I'm lucky enough to live near a beautiful valley where I can walk. I also do a lot of walking in my job, sometimes 5 plus hours a day. I don't smoke or drink mainly because I don't like the taste. Since my op last year I've started using honey as a sweetner in my tea (redbush) and hot milk. Must admit though I do love coffee and hot chocolate. Good post.
A few days ago I had an e mail from a guy. Seemed nice enough. Then he wanted to go onto hotmail or yahoo to chat. I sent an e mail back saying that I would prefer to chat on this site for a while until it felt right. I haven't heard from him since. Just one of those things. I reply to all mail even if it's only to thank them for their interest. For me it is just courtesy as they've been nice enough to mail in the first place.
I change my routine slightly. Like this morning. I decided to have a breakfast picnic in the local valley. Apart from a few horse riders and dog walkers I was on my own surrounded by nature. so beautiful and peaceful.
You do need to be very careful whether you use dating sites or contact ads in the news papers, even in real life it is better to play safe. When I was on this site 2 or 3 years ago I did meet a guy, nothing came of it and then a few months later I met another guy from this site again nothing came of it. I eventually left and tried the contacts and ended up meeting the guy with whom I had a relationship with for over a year. There are genuine people on any dating site, it's finding them that's difficult. Just use common sense and you can't go wrong. On a site I belong to to do with an interest of mine we have a saying that if it's too good to be true then it probably is. I've learnt through experience to be careful. However saying that I am now friends on facebook with 2 people that I met through this site the first time I was on here and happily they're now both in relationships.
I agree it is nice and very refreshing to hear this. Perhaps these girls think that's the only way to attract a man. If that's the case they will attract the wrong sort of man.
I think you should stay. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose. As the others suggested post and answer more blogs that way you will you will get yourself noticed.
Is it possible past experience has taught them not to trust? I mean perhaps someone in their past has let them down and they have trouble in trusting anyone. I once dated a guy who phoned me every five minutes to make sure I wasn't seeing any one. He even got hold of my work phone number and phoned there. I ended the relationship. Trust needs to be built yes but also we can't judge new partners on the actions of previous partners, if that makes sense.

I live about a 5 minute walk away from the valley. Even though I spend a lot of time walking in my job, sometimes as long as 5-7 hours depending on when I get my break, I love walking in my spare time. This is my favourite place to walk. This photo was taken this morning.
Hi Dina I'm 54 but you know what when the right guy comes along you will know it. In the meantime enjoy each and every moment. An alcoholic friend of mine told me that in order to meet your prince/princess charming you quite often have to kiss a lot of frogs. I actually met this guy through the contacts and we started off on a romantic basis 5 years ago. It didn't work but we remained friends and text each other once a week. Not all men want all or nothing.
Sorry to hear what you are going through. With your wife---do you love her enough to try and work things out with her? If the answer is no and you want a divorce find out your rights from whatever citizens advice centres there are where you live. Whilst you're there find out about any state benefits you might be entitled to were you to move out of your mother's home and into one of your own. Most of all do what you feel is right for you.
The previous advice is good advice. Moving on is easier said than done I know but it can be done. Keep yourself busy. If you have friends that you can go out with have a girly night out and have some fun. Remember you have a life too.
Just got in from work and read your lovely comments. New life started. I've got a week off soon so will be having a good old clear out and weather permitting spending sometime in a local valley relaxing. That is something to look forward to.
I think negative events in life can turn into positive events if you learn from your mistakes. I've been through tough times but then so have a lot of people. As a friend says onwards and upwards. Life can only get better now.
Thank you for the comments. I was here before and left when I met someone through a contact ad in my local newspaper. We were together for a little over a year and basically mutually agreed to end the relationship. Partly because of the distance involved (150 miles each way for him) and for me well it just didn't feel right for me. We parted friends. That was more than a month ago.
Totally agree. Thanks to this I now understand what a colleague at work told me today. She told me better to be lonely than be with someone who doesn't give you that special feeling inside.
