This is true. I do however look for more things in common. Exageration here -> Before I would fall in love with any man who smiled at me. Now I look for common interests, common goals or common values. I figure if we have some of these things in common, the bond will be closer if a relationship develops.
How does one measure love? I don't personally expect love to be "equal". I realize my capacity to love exceeds what most are able to give. I do want a relationship with a close bond, and much love.
Well unfortunately this website doesn't allow much room for profile info. I'm not sure why not. I like the options for ecards and sending flowers though. Also, did you know you can add a movies and music tab to your profile? I just discovered it recently.
I know of another site that's free, where you can post much more info about you & what you are looking for (no length limit) as well as answer (up to) 1,000s of questions, and match people on certain things. Email me if you want the name. The concept is good, but not much luck there either.
OUT: Hangover was hilarious, Engagement was good, That johnny depp one (brain fart) was long and kind of boring. Save your money. IN: just watched Last King of Scotland. Thought it was really good.
Excellent point! And I wish I had an excellent answer for you. Trying to meet someone with similar interests, values or goals is what I've been looking for for quite some time. I thought dating sites would be a good idea, because I could get to know some of these things upfront. Two and a half years later...it hasn't been working very well. Seems most people either don't know how to type, or how to open up. Don't know what they want, or are super fussy and no one is good enough.
Dating or finding that right match, in your 40's (I just turned 50 last week) can be very challenging.
I sent him a Email the other day & told him the same thing. Suggested posting what he has to offer may be helpful. Also that his job/income could be a concern. I received no reply...
Wait (at least) one year after fully divorced to begin "dating". You need that time alone to be with yourself, and adjust. Being alone for a year is not that bad. Use it to get to know who you are and what you want.
How long to commit? Well after you begin dating...I guess that depends on who you are dating and what you're looking for. Not sure how to answer that question.
I agree with you on this one. I'm a hopeless romantic, so a nice dinner out somewhere would be my choice. Wether or not it becomes romantic is uncertain. Hopefully! Doesn't need to be "fine" dining (expensive) but should be somewhere nice, with a good atmosphere & not a lot of noise.
I know a lot of people choose coffee, but in MHO that is more of a meeting, or a look over...than a "date". I've always felt a movie is not a good idea for the "first" date, because you want to be able to talk to each other and look at each other and get to know one another. Sitting in a pitch black theater for two hours with someone you don't know very well, is not my idea of fun. Also, the your house thing surprises me. I'd never do that. But then again, I'm a little cautious, from past experiences.
I chose teacher...out of elimination. I like muscles, but need more, farmer: eh just can't see it, lawyer: okay this may be a stereotype but seems (perhaps) a lil too erogant for me? Cowboy: not a big country music fan, Policeman: Love the uniform, hate the guns, doctor: too many long hours, fireman: no good reason (I dunno) too risky?, writer/poet: I doubt there are enough sucessful writer/poets...so out of the group teacher seemed to fit the best. Nothing like a good brain. Plus anyone who helps children scores big in my book!
He may be doing all these things. We really don't know. In the mean time, there's no reason he can't ask questions about dating opinions, for whenever he gets to that point. He seems like a good thinking man, and probably thinks a lot. Sometimes it just helps to get other's point of views, to quiet all the thoughts in your head. Especially when you are dealing with so much.
Kind of like journaling. It's a healthy coping method. Forums help me, and I encourage others to vent, ask, discuss in the forums. Not that I can't make my own decisions. It's just a different way of processing some times.
I agree with that. All children deserve and need LOVE. The only thing is, he seems to be concerned about how it may make his own child feel if or when she finds out her dad was not with her, but is with another woman's child. Regardless of the reason(s) behind it. That's a very hard decision to make. There is no right or wrong answer. (IMO of course)
