Whenever you feel like you have healed and are in a position to love again. And that holds if you are divorced/break up or lost your partner to death. There's nothing worse than a person who is still bitter towards men/women trying to date again. They're too cynical and bitter to be good company. Or worse, still not over the death of your partner. On the other hand, a relationship on the rebound is not good for the other person, though it may make the suffering party feel better for awhile.
Flowers from a man leaves me with a nice feeling. Makes me realize he thought of me. I can't understand why some womenmake a fuss because the flowers came from Publix or CVS.
I would expect that he would have sent me a photo by the time we got to the dating stage. That being said, I would not have a difficulty making first contact with someone without a photo.
A professional lady I know just met a man online. They hit it off and she is moving to his city. She is a widow. Her take-if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. She realized that she had her needs and felt that she would be a better parent if her needs were met. Fortunately she met a man who also had a family and they've done very well.
Obviously not every single parent will have such a happy ending while their children are young, but it's important, if you really feel the need for companionship, to make the time to fit in a good relationship into your life. When you're happy the kids will be happy too.
Can't fall asleep, and I have an appointment at a place 16 miles away where I've never been to, in less than 8 hours. I think I need a drink to get to sleep. What do you recommend?
I'd say, you earn from your mistakes, deal with the consequences of your actions and get bck on track. Easier said than done of course. But possible, as I've seen it happen.
Hang in there, we're all here for you, assuming this is a real situation.
My therapist friend says they cannot be cured. I met a man online once who said he never wanted to date women who either had children or wanted children. After I met him, he confessed to me that he had done time for child molestation. I checked and its true. He is listed. I don't think he's been able to hold much of a job since then.
Whatever became of the concept of self-protection? This is obviously not the typical case of criminality, where I'd have to worry if you'd do it again, like child molestation, so I'd give you a chance.
Good and bad, first I locked myself out of the apartment. The good thing is that I finally got around to buying a new lock for the door. Then I found out that a man who I liked seems to have lost interest-the good side is that I can feel free to date others without holding back anything in reserve for him. For me life has its bad spots, but I've always seen the glass as half full rather than half empty.
I deliberately decided not to read the news about the Middle East for the sake of my peace of mind. I'd rather read a nice Harlequin romance curled up in my sofa or visit the CS fora.
