yea.. that is what I am talking about. this one guy that I met even turned on his webcam for me.. well.. he looked NOTHING like that in person! He met me at Applebees for drinks, and he came in wearing house shoes, a big t-shirt with holes in it.. and shorts.. I am thinking... hmmmm Is he thinking that is gonna impress me????
I have a question.... Why are some people not totally honest about what they look like when meeting online, on phone chat.. etc. Do not realize that it is a personal meeting that they are eventually wanting out of the deal?? I have met several men in person that started out online to find that they look nothing at all like the pics they sent me.. just wondering if anyone had anything to add to this topic.
I was just on the Carnival Conquest for a 7 day cruise this past Sept. This was my first experience on this ship. (I take one cruise a year) The staff on this ship was excellent! They had activities everyday... always something going on! It was a fun time and I plan on taking the same cruise again next year!! wooo hoooo
i am doing pretty good. I have found that it is somewhat hard to get going in these forums. I have posted a few here and there but never really get any real conversations started. good luck to you in here and i hope you have a great time.
i spent Christmas Day alone last year, by choice. It is just hard to go and watch everyone get all googly about what their someone special got them and show off, when you don't have a special someone to buy you something! I think the holidays are the hardest time of the year for most singles.. especially when it is still pretty new. And.. I agree that most put too much inphases on the gifts and not what the meaning of Christmas is all about! I got on some of my favorite singles sites last year and just sat around the computer chatting with others that were also alone for the holidays. It was a nice change! This year I will have my kids for Christmas... so it won't be so bad.
I am just wondering if anyone on here has ever dated their best friend. And.. if you have.. did it change the relationship and how so? Me and my best friend hooked up last night. He is scared that if we start dating that we will lose the friendship we have. We have been best friends since elementary.
Hi... Just sitting around the computer tonight and thought I would see if I could strike up some conversation. Anyone wanna chat with me tonight? feeling a little hyper and can't get to sleep!!!
My 1st husband initiated the divorce when he left me for my babysitter... that was after I caught him in the act with my best friend when I was 7 mos. pregnant with our 3rd child and I stayed!
My second divorce.. I initiated. My ex was in a nursing home awaiting a heart transplant and he screwed his nurse and got her pregnant! SHE is now married to him with his yr. old daughter.
I know..... Jerry Springer could have a field day with my past!! lol
I had to comment to this post. First of all, let me begin by saying I am also a big girl. I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager and I will be turning 40 in a couple of weeks. It is true that most people single out overweight people and it is always said that "you can lose weight". I was heavy through high school. My senior year, I lost 50 lbs. and went from a size 16 to a size 10 just through cutting out my sodas and sweets and cutting my portions in half. I maintained my size until after I had my 3rd child and started having back problems. I have had 2 back surgeries, and I now have metal cages in my back which make it very hard to exercise. (I do walk). I am overweight, but very confident with myself. There are lots of guys out there that actually prefer bigger women over small women. I believe it is the way that you carry yourself and how confident you are of yourself. You have to love yourself before someone else is going to love you. Keep your head up! There is truly someone out there for everyone.
Thanks for the response, Lydia. I have a sister that just turned 50! She looks great and is in the prime of her life. I hope I still look that good at 50! People tend to think she is younger than me.
I am still pretty new at this single thing. I never imagined I would be 40 and single! But.. I like it alot. I am my own person and can do whatever I want, pretty much. I have found though that it is much much harder being single at my age.
I am turning 40 next month. It has got me to wondering what the single life is going to be like with me in a brand new age catagory now. It is hard to juggle the " DIVORCED MOM" and the "ACTIVE SINGLE" life. I just thought that some of you single parents might have some input on how, if any, things change after your 30's are gone.
I am new and have also had the same thoughts. It is hard to get conversation started when you don't really know what people on here find as interesting conversation. If you jump in and comment on a thread.. you do sometimes get ignored. I think it is just that we are new and are in their comfort zone, so to speak. Once they see that we are interesting and we keep trying to get involved, it will eventually get better. Good luck to you!
You see.. that is just it... I never saw it coming either time. It was like everything was going good and then BOOM.. its gone. I have forgiven my first husband after 11 yrs. We are friends again and have to deal with each other quite a bit because of the kids. My 2nd husband, I don't know if I will ever forgive him. I think that is the problem. If I could just deal with the hurt, then maybe I could go on. He was sick all of our marriage, and spent the last year in the hospital or nursing home. I guess I feel cheated in more ways than one. I gave up everything for him to take care of him and that was the thanks I got. I am still very bitter. I guess time will heal though. I am pretty tough and I am definately a survivor.
Very nice words of wisdoom there and very well put. I am not sure if I will go for the charm or not. I thought the first 2 were it. I was married 8 yrs. the first time and 9 the second. I totally agree with the friends first thing. My best friend is a guy. We are very close, and he is constantly trying to get me to take it to the next level.. but I am not ready.. not sure if I will ever be ready. I love him as a friend, and I am very lucky to have him for a friend. Who knows, maybe someday I will give him a chance at more.
yea.. that is one thing that won't happen. I am not dating anyone in particular.. I just date randomly... I am DEFINATELY not ready for anything serious with anyone.
Thanks Crissy. I am doing just that. I leave in 2 weeks on a 7 day cruise... mmmm can't wait. I am going to Jamaica, Cozemel and the Grand Caymens. That should relax me a bit!!!
thanks for the reply. I am learning to do that. My 2nd marriage was mentally abusive, and all about him. He was sick the whole 9 yrs. But.. I am learning to take time for myself. It is just very hard to include men without automatically expecting them to degrade me, or insult me at some point.

That is always best unless you aren't planning on ever meeting them.
