I know we all kid alot on here...and some of it is just "kidding" to hide what you're really feeling inside...
I am just wondering...have we become beggars and not choosers in the dating ritual because we just so desperately want someone to share our lives with? Are we compromising ourselves in any way to have it all...becoming too romatically involved too soon? Are we looking to another person to "find" and "define" who we are?
I am not speaking of myself, nor of anyone else in particular here...just wondering what you think of what i've said here...are you noticing a "trend" around you?
You don't really want anyone to ask you to stay because as you said "it wouldn't really matter though because i am thinking of getting back together with this guy i have been seeing on and off lately..." and if you are trying to send a message to "Jared's girlfriend Sandy" then why not just IM her??
Take the break Skip..it is good for the soul...and it is the mature way of handling things...
The forums and CS is a great way to break the monotony of our lives..it gives us (most of the time) a place to kick back and unwind...sometimes its also a place we can let out our frustrations..and go for comfort...all from behind the sheild of our computer screens...but then "real life" happens...but at the same time there are many on here who are ready to move on with their lives and have come here in search of the person to share that with...so no its not a game for them...and they should not be subjected to the "game playing"...thank you for recognizing that and being sensitive to them...
You need to take care of your business first and foremost...that is what's really important...we will miss you but will look forward to having you come back soon...
You know how to reach me if you need me my friend...
I have had relationships with both ends of the spectrum as well as married in my own age group...
I found that i loved the enthusiasm of the younger men..and i remember being that age and thinking i owned the world too...as much as i wanted it to last it couldn't...the road they were just embarking on i had been down already and had no wish to go there again...eventually "age" would have caught up with us both...it was fun while the dance lasted...
Being married to someone my age was akin to me having one more child to look after...men and women at the SAME age don't necessarily think the same way...or necessarily have the same goals (and yes i know i know and i'm not speaking about them ALL!!)
I think i read Lori say that she has a forceful personality...i like that wording...i have that too...and unless a man has some experience under his belt...it would be hard to deal with me...I am old enough to know better...but still young enough not to care!!
I have to say though that "age differences" are a personal preference and there are lots and lots of relationships that work out with every type of age combination known to man...so i guess i would have to say that i do prefer "older" men...
I will be thinking of you both...it is good that you are able to go to Arizona to be with him at this time...he can use your support and strength i'm sure...
