You can find eligible men everywhere; they all have to eat, buy groceries, get petrol. I've always thought that a lot of guys may be studying at night in various courses; I have a couple of friends who met their husbands doing night & weekend university short courses.
How to keep him? If he's the right guy that should look after itself. I think it's more about how compatible 2 people are - if they aren't, it's kind of self-defeating to hang onto them at all.
I've learned the hard way that it's important to look at the reality of what went wrong, rather than at the fantasy of the relationship I wanted all along.
If you keep thinking: "oh but he was so nice when we met/he said he'd love me forever" you can distress yourself so much you can't face the thought of another guy. Once I have straight in my head that the guy I have broken up with is not Mr Perfect from the first date, but a flawed human being I'm not compatible with, I'm okay. Holding on to the emotion of what you loved about them is ultimately, a way of holding onto them. I think so anyway.
What I think must be particularly hard is when people run into their exes all the time. Guys often move on very quickly too and this can be very painful for women, but we should probably take a leaf out of their books; they don't torture themselves for months like we do. JMO.
I don't know many people who haven't been single for at least some length of time. It can be lonely, espec if you are surrounded by happy loving gushing couples. It can also be very empowering to concentrate on what you need and what makes you happy.
Relationships are great but they aren't the solution to eveything that's for sure. Life's problems don't disappear just because you are in a relationship - if anything, it's an extra burden on your emotions if you are involved with someone when you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. You have to sort out your crap and be present for them; there is suddenly someone in your life who has an opinion on your life - and you have to listen.
A good question. For some reason, I have started dating most of my ex boyfriends in June of the year I met them. I never realised that until now, how bizarre.
It's probably good he cancelled. This was not the guy for you - I'm sure he likes you and does want to see you but when men act this casually, you can do your own head in trying to work out where you stand with them. Stuff that for a joke.
I've always been confused by the whole 'love but not in love' thing. If you love your partner, surely that's better than going out and sitting in bars to try and recreate that 'butterflies in the stomach' feeling of being in love, with someone new? Relationships go through stages, sometimes you are madly in love with your partner and somedays you want to kill them. I guess it all depends on what that female means by in love...if it means that she no longer found him romantically attractive, I think that's a deal breaker.
Depends on how worried you are about being honest. I think girls like to know that guys have had at least one long term relationship, when that was exactly is not really the point. It's fine to explain that you've been dating, but haven't met the right person for a while.
That's more than enough info for anyone to start with.
I agree, there are women who would marry for money. I don't understand them myself; I don't get how you could share a bed and a breakfast nook with some guy for 2 years just to get half of what what what theirs.
I'd rather have my own money and eat breakfast with someone I really liked.
They obviously don't have no fault divorce in Japan. If you can entice a spouse to cheat they're still a cheater; the guy always had the option to say :"Sorry, I'm flattered but I'm married. Sayonara."
Let's face it, infidelity within marriage isn't nice but it isn't a crime either. The need to establish fault/guilt means that someone in these scenarios invariably ends up being treated like a criminal by the courts. The humiliation for all involved must be palpable.
Having said that, these couples are clearly doomed so the money they split between them is kind of a moot point for me. If the females want out this badly, the marriage is already over.
A female perspective on this: I'm never annoyed by anyone who contacts me who is genuine; no matter what age they are, it's hard to take the first step to contact anyone and I appreciate that.
If they made a nuicanse of themselves, sure, I'd be displeased and if they are scammers, that's a different story.
Ideally, you should be contacting females in your geographical area who are also looking to get married. Try reading some profiles and identifying some females who seem to be looking for the same things you are. If they don't mention in their profile that they are seeking a husband, then they probably aren't and you won't hear from them.
We all have disappointments in dating and if someone doesn't respond, you should take it as a sign that for whatever reason, they are not interested and move on. It happens to us all, not just you.
I think people join when they are single and then meet someone. They probably don't wish to cancel their membership because they like the forums. I would do the same if I were dating.
There is no prerequisite that you actually be single to join the site. The TOS only state that you must be unmarried.
It seems that in fact Sheen has no grounds to sue for anything; he was only contracted to make the exact amount of eps this year that he had completed.
I'm not sure how fairly this represents Aussie TV Robert.
Most programs I see on Sydney TV are either comedy, reality, news and sport related and they definitely aren't 40 years old! There's also a big push on reality TV on Australian TV which seems to take up a lot of prime time slots. Much of what I see in the evening on Australian free-to-air TV is live.
There is a lot of US content, but there are laws in Australia around how much overseas vs local content we can show and there is a balance. Most of the Australian drama productions revolve around rescuing poeple off cliffs and from burning buildings, they are pretty tiresome. Generally speaking I think the news and current affairs content is good. The ABC is a great station and shows a lot of English content.
I do agree that there is a huge push towards pay TV. Without a doubt the best drama work Australia has done in the last 10 years (Love My Way, Satisfaction) has been on FOXTEL and you couldn't see it on free-to-air. But like anything else in life, you get what you pay for. And for anyone who likes sport you can't really go wrong with Aussie free-to-air.
The emotional involvement that some people feel with a forum site is intense & for some it's hard to comprehend. If members have been on any forum for a long time and made friends, cried, laughed etc, it can be very difficult and painful if things on the forum go sour.
On other forum sites I've been a member of, it wasn't as straightforward as getting bored and deciding to just not log on anymore. It was often more akin to a break-up for long time members; members needed the closure of saying goodbye and cancelling their account.
I just log on for the forums. I'd be happy to consider a relationship with the right person but I doubt I'll find him here; the only mail I ever get here is from scammers.
