Well....well...There is a difference between being alone and being lonely. Haven't really been lonely as I'm a single mom and my daughter has been always with me, thank God. Sometimes I long for a male and/or any adult company. I wished I had someone who would accept me for who I am. And trust me I'm too far from perfect and not so 'easy going' as many used to write in their profiles. Whenever I read this I even get inferiority complex such if almost all people are easy going and I am not....LOL Anyway being lonely and not having someone to give you a glass of water and/or open the door for you really sucks. I don't wish it to anyone.
Good luck to all on this site and I'll be praying for them to get the right person for them.
No tips here as far as you are respectful. You will work it out yourself. Anyway in m opinion the best is to take the bull for its horns.... LOL and never let it go if you catch it. Have fun and the best of luck to ya!
I'm not sure you will read this but, I hope someone else will and it may be useful to them. Anyway I wish you the best of luck in your search and don't you ever give it up! Just have faith!
Ok you are far from stupid. Your story resembles mine in many aspects with the difference I was more stupid than anyone else to marry him.....! LOL Anyway you are just being human who yarns for steady relationship, love, care and most of all moral support. The financial support is also important but, since you have a job that is decently paid as I understand then you can meet your basic needs. Being a single mom is like constantly climbing a glass mountain and once you succeed climbing the top you slip down again and on and on, it continues. I have two net friends that are members of AA both very nice guys. However, I remained just a good net friend with them regardless of my liking becoz I know alchoholism is a sickness that it might be or might not be cured all depending on the strong will of the patient and as you already know men who were alchoholics often go back to their deadly habit. I want to point out that I'm writing this not becoz I think I'm an expert on relationships. However, you brought up an issue that has been on my mind for long and I'm using the oppotunity to express my subjective opinion. Also my experience shows that the longer two people keep a long distance relationship on line without either meeting or at least trying to live together the worse. This is a bad sign that the relationship might be doomed. The best is to chat for half a year and then meet. Although I have nothing against women emancipation its my believe that the man should undertake the travel expenses if he wanted to meet the woman of his choice. If he starts playing the game of: 'pls, visit me becoz I am too busy and/or don't have the means to do that', you better just cancell him as a prospect. If he doesn't waste time with you with long term chats, visits you quickly undertaking the expenses and continues doing it until you get together and married then nothing prevents you to offer him a hand in the family financial matters which is fine. Also what kind of nonsense is that he didn't want you to call him Sat&Sun becoz he is together with his daughter??!! He could do that in the beginning of your relationship before you have met or so. But why keeping you away from meeting his daughter if he really intends a serious relationship with you??!! Wouldn't it be imperative to meet her if you both planned to be together?! I think he is playing with your emotions which happen to me too and the best you would do is to end it asap or you and your kids could be hurt. The decision is all yours!
You should've asked the same question in a different way.... WHY DO HUMAN BEINGS LIE?
Since I'm trying to be useful here I can direct you to a google search titled like that i.e.: 1. DIVORCE; 2. REASONS FOR DIVORCE (SUBTITLE: REASONS FOR DIVORCE IN THE US)
Then after making such a search you would be able to read that according to some American specialists (phsycologists, etc.)kids start lieing since they are 6 years old. Most parents do think their kids could never lie successfully to them becoz they are the adults. It turns out this is far from reality.
ON THE QUESTION WHY DO KIDS/PEOPLE LIE THE PROS ARE ANSWERING THUS: BECAUSE THEY CAN!!!
Well...well...Most deffinetely one should not be in a hurry to judge unless they met the person. However, I have some experience that proved a woman should be very cautious with a guy who never married, had no kids in his early 50-ties. The reasons the guy never married could be many, sometimes some of them could be the ones we never thought about. Pursuing a carrier at the expense of a family could never be a serious reason for that. I was 21 when I got married, I and my ex were poor students and we owned nothing. Yet we got married and we have two wonderful kids we are both very proud of. Yes, being a playboy could be one of the reasons but, having in mind that my ex was a playboy who had a family and kids leads to a conclusion this could not a serious reason too. However, it is very much possible that guy has a problem with commitment for several reasons. Then the first thing he should do is to admit to himself he has such a problem, and second is to seek an advise from his shrink and/or family counsellor.
O.k. Well.... going back to the British history although Scotland was kinda part of Britain they had their own queens and kings many or most of whom were closely related to the English queens and kings. Anyway, any attempt of the Scottish to be absolutely authonomous historically ended up with a slauther of both their monarchy rulers, and the population as well. Hence their extremely strong sense of belonging to Scotland and maybe over patriotism. This memory has been passed on from one generation onto the other for centuries and it simply can't be forgotten easily. Remember how Mary the queen of Scots was inprisoned in her 20-ties by her first cousin Elizabeth I hence the expression 'bloody Mary' which is both used for vodka with tomatoe juice and as curse - 'bloody'....LOL Anyway, she was dangerous to her cousin and she was executed in 1587 only 44 years old. By orders of the English government, all of her possessions were burned. In 1603, upon Elizabeth's death, Mary's son became king of England as James I. As a conclusion the next generations are paying for their forefathers' mistakes. A fact of history whether just or not.
I'm 54 going to 55. I feel that I have not changed since I was 17. I'm the same person as I was before. True I gained pretty much life experience....but, that's all. I do not feel any different than I used to when I was young, and I do not think I should be treated as or I should feel second class citizen of the world because of that, the opposite. And I do not think my age could make more difficult finding a partner than it was ever before. What's you opinion on that?
Well...this is a matter of personal choice. It all depends on the individual. Sometimes e-mails are an excellent way of communication with people who want and enjoy writing in English. However, at some point IMs are necessary because one can better feel the person they are chatting with. Its kinda you are chatting with a person face to face. However there are a lot of people who are ill-intentioned and pretty rude when they chat with others. So one better avoids starting a communication on the chat room.
