Would you go out with someone who had a serious mental health problem?

Oh.

Well, in the case of that, I guess they would cancel one another out!!!

RE: Is it right for your CS-found-bf/gf to tell you to cancel your account once you started dating?

Yes, imo - out of respect.

Would you go out with someone who had a serious mental health problem?

Of course!

However, that said, those that give them love, compassion and tenderness, they also deserve to be treated that way, right back in return, right? And there lies the problem. Many with a serious MHP cannot do those things, without it all imploding, or going really badly wrong, because of their condition.

Btw, he was not an ex partner, if I collected every cheap screw that I had had, down the years, well, might just be me, but they wouldn't be 'friends', nor would I feel the need to collect them.

Reflections on this..

Nope.

And I wouldn't.

I am a believer in not letting past world's and present one's collide, if I can help it.

To all Scottish members..

Yes, esp as it is free, no hidden costs, etc.

LOL. Not sure that would be a good idea. Can you imagine that havoc that two people, each with a serious mental health issue, might create?

Reflections on this..

I was going out with this girl, and it was a serious relationship.

She happened to tell me about something that she once did, before she met me. She was friends with this guy, who was getting married. She had been invited to the wedding, and, on the eve of the wedding (somehow?), she ended up sleeping with this fella, and then, actually going to the wedding with him.

Now, it happened before me, therefore, I am not going to play the big judge, albeit, imo, it does take a certain kind of person to sleep with a bloke the night before his wedding ...then attend the thing.

Anyway, that was what she told me, and I really thought no more of it, until (not sure how I got to know), that he was on her FB friends list, and, they were still in the habit of sending each other the occasional message, I believe.

I tried to make the point that while I had no issue with her having male friends on FB, I did not consider the circumstances behind this fella to qualify him as a 'friend', therefore, I was uneasy with him being on her list. Flagged it up, if you will.

But she just could not get it. Failed to understand why this might make me feel uneasy.

I don't really think I was expecting too much, under the circs, to expect her to at least try to see what I meant, but she wouldn't or couldn't.

What do you feel about this...

Age gaps?

How big a deal is it, for you? When I think back to those I have gone out with, I would say that 75% have been younger than me, by some way. And, to be honest, even when there has been a 10yr age gap or so on, I have not really noticed it, neither have they, and, for whatever reason we broke up, that didn't play a part.

Obviously, I am not so silly to rule out someone who was older than me, but I tend to gravitate towards those who are younger.

How about the other way around - girls who tend to go out with men who are older..?

Would you go out with someone who had a serious mental health problem?

So.

The people have spoken - people with an acute mental health problem, esp one which they will not address, as they should, should be avoided, at all costs, because, in the end it will prove to be a futile effort.

Yup. I would agree with that, sadly.

Is it possible to track your threads?

Thanks, shame it didn't stay up, but hey ho..

Is it possible to track your threads?

No, this site is fine, I was not running that down. I was making a general observation on dating sites, esp the paid for one's.

Oh well.

No matter.

Is it possible to track your threads?

That worked great, thanks.

For some reason, the thread I spoke about, despite it being a good discussion, it appears to have gone!

To all Scottish members..

Yes.

Thing is, if you run a search on most sites, left it a month, done another search, it tends to be the same bunch of people.

Is it possible to track your threads?

On here.

Or get an e mail alert, when someone adds to a thread you are part of.

I did a thread this morning, on this section - the death of internet dating. Cannot even find it.

Would you go out with someone who had a serious mental health problem?

Well, I see that the bulk of people on here, wouldn't date someone with a serious mental health problem.

However, let's say that you were not aware, and it took a few months for you to notice, for sure. What would it then take for you to finish it, assuming, by this time, that you had strong feelings for them?

My attraction to red heads :-)

I know.

But it's fun to make up -

Would you go out with someone who had a serious mental health problem?

Good post.

Usually you do not know, as many are well versed in having covered it up, all of their life. It is second nature to them, however, they can only cover it up for so long....then comes the crash.

I blame myself to sticking in, to be honest. I had lots of chances to walk, and sometimes I did, but we always got back. In the end, it was a total waste, it drains the hell out of you, has your questioning your own sanity, and, for all your help, it rarely works or gets appreciated.

Of course, this is just my own experience.

To all Scottish members..

Just been on this a week, had a look around, and think it could use more members in Scotland, albeit it is not a bad site.

So, people of Scotland, drop in on this thread, and say hello!

My attraction to red heads :-)

Hmm, feint freckles are okay, but not some serious blotch action!

My attraction to red heads :-)

Actually...it may just be coincidence, but ALL of the girls I have dated, with red hair, have been precisely that way.

There is no scientific value to this, as far as I know, so it may just be a coincidence, as I say.

*rubs chin*

My attraction to red heads :-)

Granted.

However, for some reason, with me, it is a little bit more, I suppose. I just feel that if you meet a pretty one, with red hair, and pref green (or blue) eyes, they look incredibly striking.

Steve

My attraction to red heads :-)

Didn't even realise there were forums on here -

Okay, I wanted to mention my rather long standing attraction to females with red hair. Of course, I have no exclusively gone out with red heads, however, were I given the choice, between a pretty red head, and anyone else, she would get my vote, each and every time.

I really have no idea why I find myself esp drawn to red hair, esp as I don't think it looks good at all, in men (sorry guys!).
