I wear casual jeans and t-shirts, even in church, and nobody judges me for what I wear. In fact one woman on the Soos Creek Trail said she LIKED my shirt.
I love kids, and I'm still raising mine. So for me, it's been there, done that. I don't have the financial resources to take on a woman with kids, and at my age, it would be impractical, anyway. I'm not a runner, I just don't have the desire to take on more than I can chew. I have a lot on my plate as it is.
And the other poster is right - we've had a number of successful relationships and marriages form right here on CS.
If one has asked someone out for a date, one would expect to pay for that day, including the petrol. It seems rude to me to suddenly ask r the date to pay for the petrol if it wasn't discussed beforehand.
I voted "Yes" on this one. We were friends before, during, and after our marriage (last marriage). I was in the lawyer's office when she did the divorce. And, unlike any of the others, my ex is living in my house, due to the house fire up the street and I am her caregiver. There is a law in the U.S. that if someone who's receiving government funds (she's on disability) comes to stay in my home, the person cannot be forced to leave. So, my ex is more or less here for the duration. If that means that I remain single for the rest of my life, then so be it, but that is why I am particularly focused on church-going women because they tend to be more empathetic to my situation. I still want to find someone, but realize it's going to be a little more challenging than it would be for someone who doesn't have my stituation. But that's okay - life is full of challenges, isn't it? God puts challenges in our lives to encourage us to rely more on Him!
So then men would be a brotherhood. Oh, boy..."brotherhood" sounds like the rough-house guys in the mafia. Sisterhood sounds so much nicer. Maybe we can come up with a name for men. I'm sure the women can think of all kinds of names for men.
The world would be a lot more liberal. The world would be a "softer" place to live. There wouldn't be as many wars. Children would be better protected. Women would make as much money, if not more, than men. There would be no barriers to women in every area of life. Women would walk on the moon. Women would absolutely call the shots in the bedroom.
(I've worked for a female bosses and male bosses, and I vastly prefer working for a female boss. See, I told you I am a very unique guy.)
Or, if he really is in the military, he could be in a position where he has a high-security clearance (green berets, UDT teams, intelligence, etc.) where he is not allowed to give his rank or location. The motto during WWII was, "Loose lips sink ships."
I was lead on for about 2 months by a scammer from the Ukraine. Very attractive, long blonde hair...sound familiar? Forget the name she used. She was sitting on a chair, just in case you ever run across her pic. It didn't happen on here.
One thing to remmber is that YOU are the only who can fix you. We can stand by and support you, but ultimately, it's YOU that has to decide to fix you. So a period of healing is in order. You heart needs mending in order to be the best you can be for yourself and for anyone else. So take time to heal first, okay. When you finally find that love of your life, you'll wonder why it took so long. But you will be so happy.
I can't vouch for anybody else, but, since I love women so much, I try to make sure I respond to womens' postings,. I'm more likely to respond to a woman's post than a man's post, but do respond to both.
This is ironic, because women have occasionally asked for my advice from a man's perspective. My standard answer is, "I'm not sure that I the right guy to ask, because I am not a typical guy. So any answer I would give would not be what a typical guy would say." At that point, I try to give at least my perspective, rather than the advice that most guys would give.
Aye, lassie, but 'tisn't only the ads and comedies that sting, dear lass. 'Tis also that you are such an amazing lass, and yet you are so far away in Ireland. Oh, lass, if ye could but spare a wee bit o' yore winnins from the gold pot to send me, I'd be the the happiest man in the world ta visit ye, that I would. Oh, I may have a bit of a tremor in me heart when I saw you, but at least I'd be a happy man, that's for sure! Aye, lass, and a very good lass ye are tonight. Say would ye like a wee nip in the pub tonight, lass? Aw, now, ye know I's funnin' ye now, don't you lass?

That's okay, though, 'cause I was thinking the same thing.
RE: Farm Girl
Does she need to be, do does she need to be beautiful inside?
