Maybe a bank balance holds no importance whatsover to all the people on this site, but to me, it does hold importance.
To explain, I would probably end up hooking up with someone about my age, or late 40's. I think having a little cushion, or property and a job and car means that after half their life is done, they have managed to accumulate something other than debts.
I don't mean a millionaire, but a man with a little something stashed away shows he is responsible and capable and smart enough to not squander all he has earned.
Nope, I won't move, my house and my kids are here. I won't even start up with someone more than an hour drive from me. It's in my profile. The man of my dreams, if he exists, must live close enough to see eachother conveniently.
I know you asked just for the guys to answer but...
Meeting for coffee at a place like Caribou is best for me. I don't want to be obligated to spend a whole dinner with someone unless I feel there is a connection. I'm sure he feels the same way.
Coffee is casual and there isn't a lot of money invested for a first date that may never go any further.
"Being busy is no excuse - its just being self-centered, setting priorities or maybe they truly just want to blow you off and haven't the courage to tell you. "
What would someone consider the "courage" to tell them that they want to blow them off?
Yes, I think saying you are very busy is a nice way of blowing them off. Why is it a bad thing to excuse yourself politely?
I have courage, but also don't want to be bluntly hurting their feelings. Besides, it's none of their business why you aren't interested, being too busy works for me.
I wouldn't start dating a guy who had no belief whatsoever in God. Just looking at the inside of a flower or a newborn baby, if you can't thank God, who can you thank?
awww I don't know WHO would admit they like hurting an animal. I'm overly emotional enough.
But about PETA.... I have an issue. When my son was about 11 he and his friend went to some outdoor event. PETA was giving out CDs and I saw him watching it on the computer.
It was the horror that animals, especially pigs endure at slaughter. It was so awful and sickening. And it's good for PETA to "educate" people. But my issue was that this should have been rated X for the violence and not handed out randomly to children.
I think it would be cool to have to never replenish anything I buy. Like the milk would never run out, but never spoil, the toilet paper rolls would never end, my gas tank would always be full, my wallet would always have just what I need, being able to give money away, my little bag of pot (IF I had one) would always be there.
In otherwords, never need anything, but having just enough.
Sometimes it's better to wait till kids are out of the house or at least not introduce the to potential boyfriends for quite a while, depending on their ages.
