The cat was a stray that my sister took in because she felt bad for it. That being said, the cat could have been in better condition, & had pre-existing conditions on top of the FIV.
He didn't last very long at all & started to have seizures, so my sister took him to the Vet. & he diagnosed her cat with FIV, then put him down. It was sad.
What turns me off right from the get go is the men who claim to "love" me, even before ever having met me, chatted, etc. Also, it turns me off when men email/flower telling me all about how they will take care of me, & how much money they make. Oh, & can't forget the ones that mail saying that they are "Mr. Right"
I think the odds are pretty good, actually. Keeping in mind of course, the effort that is put forth, compatibility, etc., etc.-- As with any relationship, on here, or otherwise...the same concepts apply. Just about anything is possible & everything happens for a reason.
Good luck to you on finding & meeting that special person.
RE: would you date or have a relationship with a guy 10 years younger than you?
For me that would be highly improbable, as I tend to prefer older men and/or men closer to my age.
