RE: Dating divorcee

I agree with Biff, if someone past a certain age either wasn't married or in a committed relationship for years, they don't want or can't make a relationship work. The older you get, the more people with baggage are around. Simples.

If someone always talks about their ex, then they are not over the relationship. Sometimes people have to keep in touch because of kids and then it can be difficult as this can cause friction.

If kids are involved - I'd rather be involved with someone that was married and gave the whole faithful and family thing a go.

RE: Odd couples

Some people are drawn together and things like looks, circumstances etc. are secondary.

It's simply a match.

RE: What is it with you people?

There are people that are relevant to me and I take into account what they say. There are a couple of people I respect on here, but CS is simply entertainment for me and I don't take it seriously.

RE: Why you are still alone and single ?

I'm neither. There can be times to feel alone if you move and have to built up a new circle of people, but if you keep a good relationship to family and friends why would you feel alone?

I was single after I broke up with someone, took time out and after a while met someone I liked that was compatible and started a relationship with.

It is up to you to go out and meet people, built up friendships and more.

RE: Revenge of the tooth fairies

I have no doubt about that Non.

RE: Revenge of the tooth fairies

Unemployed and bored is always a dangerous combination!

RE: Fear those women who are strong and independent

Look for a strong and independent man.

I come from a background where both my parents run a business and I wasn't only expected to do everything on my own (incl. all the guy stuff), I also was expected to be able to run a household as "I'm a female". I was brought up to be independent and had an example in my parents of a happy, equal relationship who encouraged me to get a good qualification so that I can always look after myself.

Years ago when I was sick and restricted in what I could do, I met a guy - in hindsight he was looking for the womanly part of running the house and the parts of his life currently his mummy looks after, but not the part of equally contributing and having an equal say. I did my womanly job and packed his bags.

With my last 2 boyfriends, the fact that I have a good qualification, job, I am independent, have my own home and life was what attracted them to me. I do appreciate to have someone I can talk to and ask for advice - but he wants someone he can ask for advice and feedback himself and he doesn't want to run or finance someone else's life. We are there for each other, but he runs his own house, loves to cook and isn't looking for someone to do these things for him. We communicate well and simply want similar things in life. We do have strength in things that the other probably isn't good at and we admire that in the other person and not see that as a threat or a weakness.

There are a lot of people that are not compatible. Everyone has their preferences and some people of both genders can look for weak partners they can dominate. I learned not to get too much emotionally involved until I know that we both want to give things a go. Also, the older I get, the more I run into people with "issues" - as these are the ones that are leftover on the market.

I think if you are truly looking for someone to love and to share your life with, there are very, very few out there that this can actually work with for various reasons. That people are not listening what someone says about what they want but what they want to hear is very common.

Don't hide your personality and keep being who you are, I think that is the only way to meet someone that is looking for someone like you.

RE: Tainted

I do see that in some cultures it is a shame FOR A WOMAN not being married at a certain age. Thankfully it is an accepted choice in my family and culture.

I did notice that when I came back onto the dating scene in my mid/late thirties that I encountered a lot of damaged guys - most of them by their upbringing, mental health issues and not necessary past relationships. Some people of both genders simply don't want or can't have a healthy relationship - and this really only hit home to me in the last number of years as these are the ones left and available on the market.

People change and even loving and good relationships can end. So there are people out there on the second round that are able and actually want to share their life with someone again. It is just a matter of finding them.

There never is a guarantee that if you meet someone that things will work out. All you can do is choose wisely and give things a chance. I did and so far it's really worth it.

RE: Truth

I wouldn't try to change someone, if I don't like someone or someone's behaviour, I simply keep away.

If I like someone, I like this person - not oh, I could like him if...

RE: does it take a special person?

Yes Shinegirl, and actually listen - think a lot of people only hear what they want to hear.

It is easy to meet "someone" but it's hard to find someone with similar values that want the same thing.

RE: pharmaceutical drug companies...

I haven't had depression myself and simply don't know if it helps. As with every other illness, I would go to a specialist and see what they have to say. Would also look at alternative possibilities.

I have experienced women with post-natal depression - it didn't enter their minds that they had a problem. In these cases medication helped.

RE: pharmaceutical drug companies...

I have dealt with enough doctors to not believe one second that the ones I dealt with are only in for the money or would prescribe something that didn't work.

People do have to take responsibilities for their own health, it is known that e. g. diabetes type 2 can be avoided/cured by lifestyle changes, so why are people still taking medication? Because it is easier to pop a pill than to live healthy.

People are getting older these days. If all medication wouldn't work, that wouldn't be the case. There is medication that is necessary and then there is medication that isn't. It is up to every person to determine what is beneficial to them or what to avoid.

RE: Viva Las CS

It was a posters meet years ago in Clare and met some really interesting peeps. Would go again if a couple of posters meet up.

RE: Viva Las CS

I went to a CS meet years ago and it opened my eyes about someone I did like at that time.

Still, I didn't feel the need to make that public. We simply cut contact and left it at that.

RE: it must comes back to you

That's what happens georgie, you can't change people's behaviour, just do what is acceptable for you.

I simply wouldn't answer someone like that.

RE: Viva Las CS

If I wouldn't want to have dealings with someone in RL, I won't have on here. There are people I simply avoid.

I also think what goes on privately between 2 people should if possible be kept private and not posted on here. If I see something like that, I wouldn't exchange anything in private and most likely stay away from them in general.

RE: I was going through some old stuff in the old toy

What did he do this time Non, I missed it.

RE: It Was "Cali" Time Last Week!

It's great to have a good relationship to your family, love them and can count on each others support. It is hard if that's not there, but fair play that you made sure you have a good relationship with your own kids.

RE: Walking Backwards

I don't do health and fitness, I only do DIY at the moment.

RE: Do younger women want older men ?

I like to have things in common with someone and age is one of them. I wouldn't be interested in anyone with a big age gap in either direction.

RE: Lost in time

Happy weekend tatami.

I would be grateful if someone would have taken the time and introduced me to a couple of does and don'ts at work. I do try to help new colleagues as I know how difficult it can be in a new company surrounding. Good on you to help.

RE: So long and thanks for all the fish!

Best of luck Robbie, hope all works out with the family.

RE: Why do some people get upset when they hear the wo

I simply believe in compatibility. If faith & religion plays a big part in your life, it probably would be easier if your partner feels the same.

To each their own as long as it makes someone happy & doesn't effect those around them negatively.

RE: What do my fellow bloggers do for a living?.......

Farmer is what I wanted to do and did for a couple of years.

It's too tough of a job methinks to do it for others, so I during my current job doing marketing for an agricultural company, I did a masters in that area.

RE: Adropted child and being a single Mom!

You say that you work from 6:30am in the morning and be back home at around 7:30pm - you don't have time for a dog and think about having a baby?

RE: question about age.

One admitted it tepid and the other one I didn't even recognise when walking in - that pic was about 20 years old.

Does someone really think this isn't noticeable and hope the date would be bowed over by their sparkling personality?

RE: question about age.

You are 32 looking for women 25 to 35. If you want kids, this is a realistic age range. I would give guys a miss that look for someone younger than themselves. Would you be interested in women around 38 as you might get approached by them?

BTW, I met 2 guys that lied about their age (but in the other direction). I didn't see either of them again. If they lie about something like that, they probably have no problems lying with other things.

RE: What are you afraid of?

Just don't lose hope Enigma. On another note, if that one would end, I think I'll pack it in.

RE: What are you afraid of?

I think 5% would be pretty high...

Thanks for the good wishes Enigma, much appreciated. They are out there!

RE: What are you afraid of?

I wouldn't say it is too much to ask for Enigma, it's just that there are simply not many guys that actually want (or can) have someone special to share their life with.

Took me 6 years until I ran into someone that has similar values, standards and wants what I want.. It's not easy as his situation is stressful, but we both want to give it a go and I hope that circumstances and life don't get in the way. But we both want to be with each other.

There are a few good people out there.
