Maybe thats what I'm becoming? Older and wiser. it would be nice if that was it. Thanks for standing me up the other night. Had the van morrison qued up,dancing socks on. Waited up half the night!
Always helps to know someone else feels the same way. I wish I had your comfort level. I have this weird, vague sense of urgency. It's not desperation. honesty, it isn't. Maybe my age. I don't know?
I started off with your way of thinking, honestly. Now things are evolving for me. I start looking at life style, career, situation, relocation possibilities etc even when there's some "hitting it off" I don't care for what I'm becoming, but it's happening unconsciously.
Funny, I've had some thoughts on this issue lately. As I near the end of year three of my singledom, I find my dating experience (limited) to have influenced my list of qualities I would like in a partner. There are things I want to avoid in the future. experience, baggage? don't really know, but frankly I'm a afraid of creating such and extensive list that no one will have enough qualities to fulfill my (clears throat) "requirements". I'm already becoming uncomfortably comfortable with being single and don't care for the long term consequences. Anyone have any thoughs on this issue?
Let me thoroughly confuse you with a useless reply. My ex wife is 14 years my senior. We NEVER had an age issue. Neither of us ever thought about it. Lots of other problems obviously, but never having to do with age. So a relationship with different ages will not necessarily have problems because of age. Mine didn't. On the other hand, I dated a girl errr, 12 years younger than I. At the time, I was 48. Her last bf was 28. Could not get the image of a six pack ab-having human jack hammer out of my head. I'm sure I drove the poor girl insane, with all my insecurities.(Are you SURE I'm not too old? blah blah blah) Needless to say, didn't last long. I don't know if there's anything here you can use, but I guess if you are both secure with yourselves and in love then don't let societal pressures influence you. Be happy. life is short. Btw, I play with kids my own age and LOVE it, but that's me
Thank you joker. It must be a friendly gesture. I can't imagine anything elsse from this person. Just mystified nd don't know to accept or what? Don't want to send wrong signals. (scared)
I don't know if it's luck or you do something right. I went on two dates with a woman once. I told her I was done and she tore up my lawn when she left. They all react like this. Mystified?
Exwife- Say Hi idle chit chat. Ex gf-ERRR Tell her I love her, try to get her to take me back-to NO avail, She feels the same way about me you feel about your ex woods.
