Yes, BOBANBOBAN. I did just join THIS site, but I am no fool to the games that men play on dating sites. That's why I never rush into anything. I insist on getting to know someone 'til I feel comfy enough to take things off line. I rarely get dates, but hey, some day a good one has to come along. Right?
Oh his reply made it clear I would not be part of his life...ever. It was like "we are from different worlds...I don't want YOU to raise my kids...good luck".
Sheesh! So much for all those things we had in common!
I'd say dating sucks. But honestly it's been years since I've even HAD a date. Finding someone to date...sucks.
First off, I just joined this site. I had a man contact me. He told me about his JOB and his KIDS. He didn't tell me about HIM. So I was trying to get to know HIM. I asked him questions like - how would you describe your personality, what do you look for in a relationship, what do you look for in a woman, and what types of things would you like to do for dating?
Before I asked these questions, he had told me we had a LOT in common. He never answered my questions. But he did reply in a manner that made me feel like I am some horrible person for asking about dating and relationships.
I realize now that he was just looking for a woman to raise his kids. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE kids! But I have raised my own ALONE for over 17 years, and no one has wanted to help me.
I would gladly love and care for another man's children, as long as we have a good relationship between him & me. I mean we would date and do things other than just raising the kids.
Whoa! This was a few months back...but I just wanted to say that whitetiger777 is right. Being single in MN is very hard.
Hi I'm Barbara. Just joined yesterday. I LOVE forums. I Was excited to see we can post by state. So I've been posting a lot in the MN forums. But hey people, help me out here. I can't do them all by myself.
Okay, no one replied. Where do all the nice MN peeps hang out? I'm telling you, this internet stuff is getting pretty frustrating. I can meet nice fun people from all over the US and abroad. But when it comes to MN people, hmmm, I seem to have no clue where to look. I'm starting to wonder how we got the phrase "MN nice"...
Okay...you guys lost me now. am I in this convo? Or is this one of your side convos???
And to the person who said "click the red cross" Umm...I tried it...SEVERAL TIMES, and the jerk kept coming back!!! Like I said before...decent men, and or friends can reach me through email. No biggie.
OMG. I am RIGHT there with you sista! If you're anything like me, there will be lots of frustration. But for some reason I can't give up. I don't think we are meant to go through life alone.
Stay strong, and try your best to think positive. (let me know if you come up with any pointers too, as I am certainly no expert) I don't think I ask for a lot, but apparently it must be.
Yes, I've got them off now. I just joined (earlier) and was suddenly bombarded before I had a chance. Then some guy older than me was acting worse than my teenage son. Anyway, Emails are my prefered method. I've seen too many Dr. Jeckle & Mr. Hyde's in IMs for one life time! LOL
OMG. I can barely listen to that song without crying. Not that it means anything special to me. Just he sounds so terribly heart broken when he sings it. Mmm...awesome song! (James Blunt btw)
I am VERY new on this site. I just wanted to say hello! My name is Barbara. I just turned 50 last Monday the 6th. I'm looking for someone special (aren't we all?) But good friends are also hard to find.
Drop me a line anytime about (almost) anything. I'd love to hear from you!
I'm quite certain there must be gentlemen around, or I would not be here looking. I'm just not willing to have 30 bad IMs a night, in the hopes that maybe one day it will be a gentleman. Hopefully said gentleman would be willing to send an Email. They still work fine, and are a lot less time consuming.
OMG!!! I just barely joined this site. Still finding all the settings, and how things are done here, and my IM box keeps opening up. First a guy 1/2 my age. Yeah right. I wonder what he wanted. Then a man from Saudi Arabia who couldn't take a hint when I didn't reply. Had to block him. So the third guy (as I am franticly trying to find how to disable IMs) says hi or whatever. I politley tell him "I am not interested in IMing with strangers. Sorry." So he proceeds to call be terrible names, and tell me what my future will be, and so on. I pressed Block, then closed, but somehow he kept getting back to me. Kept blocking and closing. Wow! What a jerk he was.
Anyway, thank goodness I figured out how to disable IMs. Honestly folks. I don't know how you do them. I always get the jerks and the pervs.
Hey hi! My name is Barbara. I just turned 50. Lookin for love...in all the wrong places? I don't know if I can say that. I can say I sure would like to meet someone nice some day. Been single a long time. With great wisdom, comes less willingness to settle. If you know what I mean.
I'd love to hear about people's experiences here, or on other dating sites. Feel free to drop me a line anytime.
