I can only speak for myself. I'm 53 and have no real interest in finding someone more than a few years younger. My profile says 45-50 but I should really change that. The ones that I chat to on a regular basis, and the one I am especially close to are all nearer my age.
If you want to know what it feels like for a guy to go shopping with you - take him to a tool store and watch his eyes light up, while the shutters come down on yours.
Muhommed Ally (world famous boxer) once said "If he wasn't the worlds greatest boxer - even if he was only a street sweeper - then he would be the worlds greatest street sweeper.
Never lose sight of your dreams but also try to be the best whatever your circumstances.
If you get to know someone and become close to each other none of this may matter.
I have on my profile "no more children" so anyone who is likely to want children I don't contact. The same with some other things - if they like clubbing - I stay well away.
Most of us are on here looking for various types of relationship - so should we all just be looking for friends? The start of any long-term relationship.
Most folk say on their profile the want/expect honesty. I would find it very off-putting if I told the truth and the other person continually disbelieved me.
A truthful person never has to remember anything - a liar has to remember all his own lies, and will get caught out.
Never give up on happiness. You might as well give up on life.
Take time to grieve.In some ways it is worse than a breavement. Take stock - think - and be honest with yourself. If you think you did something wrong, or there was something you could have done better, then just resolve not to make the same mistake in future.
But, it could just be him. In which case it was not meant to be. So give yourself time, pick yourself up, and start again.
sorry jim i'm sending all my money to sarya. Some guy (gal) might love you somewhere but she's better looking. And if I'm going to spent my pocket money it will be on something worthwhile.
