This would seem to be the case. It is easier to make friends online than it is to meet someone who is not wrapped up in themselves. I suppose that true men are far and few when it comes to in person meetings and on the internet. I still have some very positives about being single so no one is hurting my feelings.
It sounds like he is going through a phase known as "finding out who he is." You cannot make decisions about his career choices. He may be feeling pressured by you when all you want is to help. Give him some space and he should come around on his own. Kids just need breathing room. Good luck!
Considering that I have been on a 4 year dry spell since my divorce I would recommend that you get a cat for companionship. I have two cats and a dog. Cats are more independent than dogs and are so loyal.
Sure there are many divorced people on here, but they are not afraid to take a chance on rebuilding their lives. Being divorced doesn't make you unsuccessful in your life, just some people are not meant to be together. In time the right person will appear making all this worthwhile. The longer you wait to restart the harder it is to get out there.
Try setting up a meeting. Since you know something about her you already have something to build on. From there it is a matter of taking the time to build it into something more.
It is just as possible to find real love on the internet as it is to find love anywhere else. It may be hard to find the patience to wait and see where and when it will happen, but in its own time it can happen. Just remember that anything is possible. I am a true believer of this.
I have read your blog in its entirety and you are someone who thinks way outside the box. Do I find this interesting? Quite so.
I am sure you realize that there have been others before you who were educated or not and considered controversial. In this day and age I don't think you will be considered a heretic.
Life is not a rose garden. You have to plant your ideas and be patient enough to see it grow. People are always in a hurry for results. When you rush things you make mistakes, give things the time it takes and you will be rewarded.
Yes, it can be frustrating to be on a sight with anticipation of meeting someone nice only to learn that most of them just want a piece. I can't seem to wrap my head around the idea that the guys who are attracted to me here are like all the others I have ever known. I suppose when the time is right we will all meet someone we desire.
I have to agree with your advice as I have met more than a few. On the other side you cannot leave out the women who can be just as painful to the touch.
Well I must say I beg to differ. I have lived alone for the last 4 yrs. and I appreciate my peace and independence. Nothing against a nice guy, but you do not have to be with someone to still have a heart to share. Where I live I am isolated so I have only my thoughts to run through my mind. Thus far I don't feel as if my mind is turning into putty. I feel inspired every day by ideas for projects of my own making.
No knocking in general, but there are men who are looking for the picture of perfection. It is also to say that some do fail to see their own short comings.
Sit back and relax, let your hair down. If you are looking to meet someone right away, that may take time as with any site. If you are looking for a good time, you have come to the right place.
I imagine that many of us on CS are not party people. We have our lives to live with so much else to do that we don't need to party to be fulfilled. I think another name for this is adulthood.
Considering the success stories from this site alone, I would have to say it does work. It takes time and perseverance as with a one on one chance meeting. You have to take into consideration that the distance does have a factor in this. I get emails from guys who live so far away that I know we could not possibly begin anything and I would be unwilling to relocate just to find out.
Here lately I seem to have those mornings every day. Still have to have my coffee to jump start things even if it is late morning. Good thing my granddaughter isn't in school yet or we would both be in trouble.
Although I hope you can find your fairy tale, keep in mind that fairy tales are only in books. Bills need to be paid, kids need braces, circumstances change the people we are and the people we fall in love with. Divorces come after the break down of what we thought was our fairy tale life. Then comes child support and weekend visits. I am telling this from my experiences. I still believe in the sanctity of love, but I have become more realistic about my expectations.
Works for me. Sunday is the day I let my hair down and do as little as possible. Naps of course are out of the question with a 4 yr. old around. She makes the day even better so who needs the naps after all.
It would not surprise me if many of the blank photos are because they don't have a pic or a way to scan it. That scenario is my reason for appearing anonymous.
I have received flowers asking to get to know me better. I just give them a little insight into who I am that my profile doesn't offer. Problem? If they answer back then I guess not.
All I can say is that I do answer every email and flower I receive. About all I do on CS is forums and blogs. I am old fashioned in that I do not feel as though I should be tracking others down. If it is meant for me to meet someone here, then I will hear from him. If not, then maybe I will make some great online friends.
If he exists I have not met him yet. People put too many strings on what they will accept or not. I seem to be the same unconditional person I have always been, but the world as we know it is changing.

What it comes down to is destiny. If you can be happy with your life as it is, then it should not matter if or when Romeo comes through for you.
