Someone to talk to about what's going on everyday. Someone who is patient and understanding, compassionate, etc., and is a good listener. Someone to do slow dancing with, candlelight dinners, cuddling and snuggling. Someone who is there for me, as well as I am there for him.
My ex was pretty much this way when we were dating, and then in the beginning of our marriage. But then he changed. Oh well.
How about potluck dinner? I can bring some of my mother's recipes. They are from an old country. The only problem is, I work every Saturday, so the only days good for me are late afternoon on Sunday, or else Monday, or maybe Wednesday.
I would offer my place, but it's rather small, and we have a huge problem with parking in here. It's a small condo on the East side of Cleveland.
I am fairly new on this site, so cut me a slack for asking the kind of a question that every member with some seniority on this site apparently already knows. When you have the first online contact with your prospective date, is it a proper etiquette, or a rule of sorts, to go on emailing each other for some extended period of time, before actually meeting? This is the feedback I've received today. When my date said that, I felt like I was acting reckless, careless, and whatnot, by meeting him shortly after the first online contact. He told me that I should have exchanged a few emails first, ask questions and learn about one another that way, before actually contemplating a date. Then why would he give me his phone number??
My opinion was (and still is ) that virtual communication has drawbacks vs. actually meeting in real life, and that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. I think that it's easy to pretend certain things about yourself while typing away at your computer.
Furthermore, when people pretend, they can even half believe in it at the time, although it's not true and they know it, and it will sure come up later, but still, they'd go for it. You follow me? My opinion is, that the best way to learn about one another is to meet in the real world.
Where I am from, our courts are extremely user friendly. Most of them have websites with the search function, and you can do background search on anybody FREE OF CHARGE. Spelling does not really matter, as court clerks can misspell names, too, so you should get creative and allow for this. I once did a background search on a man whom I was about to meet; I found two domestic violence charges on him, so needless to say I never met him. For that reason, I will only date the local men, and will look them up in the courts. All of them. Ditto for men, you can't be too careful nowadays. Just my 2 cents worth.
It beats me why some posters have old pics on their profile. I just met a guy whose pics were cute, but reality check proved quite the opposite. I met him in the parking lot, which was a blessing, because I didn't waste much of my time. Boy, he looked like his own father. His pic is probably 15 or 20 yrs old. So I just had a nice ride back and forth in the sunny afternoon... LOL
My mood is Grrrrrrr... Why all the guys that I meet look older than their picture? One of them looked cute on his pic, but OMG, when we met, he looked like his own father (compared to the pic). Good thing we met in the parking lot of a coffee house. The other one claimed his pic was from his driver's license, but this dl was clearly not his last one. Next time I will just turn around and leave. This must be my luck. Admitted I like dating younger guys, myself looking younger than my age. But no such luck. These two guys were younger, so what.
