Age is just a number - it's all about how you live your life! I know people of all ages who act as if life is a burden to them and they cannot wait to retire! I'm in my 40's and have spent my life so far living each experience to the fullest! I know individuals other individuals of all ages that are going strong and also live their lives to the fullest! Age is what you make of it! And I make mine count!
Just send them an email and be honest. I've gotten like seven emails in the last two days that tell me the gentleman is recently widowed, wife passed from a terminal illness, they have a child, they want to find someone to complete them right now and so on. Nowhere in their message to me do they mention what attracted them to my profile - so i know they didn't read my profile
All it really takes is just reading the profile and seeing if you have common interests, then responding to those common interests. Be upfront about yourself and see where it goes from there.
The real ladies will reply with a note back expressing interest or will politely let you know that they are not interested.
You sort of forgot the 'glare' from across the room - you know the one that make you think if she concentrated hard enough she could make lasers shoot out and fry your cajones!
Just a little over an hour ago....right after I tripped over my own two feet and had my coffee go all over me! I wish I had been able to get a picture of it! Plus, it made me feel better! I am the Queen of Clumsy! Bow down to me! Bwahahahaha!
I think tattooing now days is more of an "in" thing with most younger people. Just about everyone their age has one and they want to be cool too and sometimes they just get a tattoo to be like everyone else they know. For me, it was a choice that I thought about for over ten years and my choice was very personal to me but it isn't bigger really than a quarter and most people don't even notice it. Fine with me.
I don't think anyone needs pointers on how to approach men - I just do it. I don't really even think about it - if they respond back positively - hey great! If not, I don't get hurt or upset. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
wow! six or seven months without a date? try two or more years - i guess the weirdness factor in me scares the men away or it could be that i just give off the "go to hell" vibes without even trying.
What if out of the thousands of pictures that they took of themselves that one was the only good photo? I mean come on! Between my eyes closing as soon as the camera flashes and the dork smile I usually have - One picture out of a thousand is batting 100 for me!
Could be they want money, the prestige, the experience and the thrill of dating an "older man" or maybe they just think that they can use the man to get what they want. But the same could be said of younger guys with older women. My son actually dated a girl whose mother taught her that her only ambition in life should be to find an older man with a good job and then take him for everything she could get her hands on. Thank god my son ran away!
Yup! How else are you going to meet people? Can't sit and wait around for someone else to make the first move. If you connect it's great, if not, no harm. At least you tried.

I guess that means we should all put a nicer spin on rejection?
