I took myself out of hiding today in order to email a guy that looked interesting. He responded tonight. He said thank you for the nice email. He had just gotten back on match after a painful experience so he's certainly open to making new friends but nothing else for awhile.!!!!!!!! I had to laugh. Here I go again. Where on my profile does it say "please contact me only if you've recently broken up, been hurt or not over your ex"!! Why are these people on a dating site? He said he recognized me from the bank where I used to work. (that was alittle weird). Anyway, I wrote back and said I'm sorry for his experience, that I had one of those last year. blah blah blah.... We'll see. Hey, I was just excited to get an email!

Yes donna! Please, please run as fast as you can from this one! LOL I agree with CGUN tht there must be something in your picture or your profile that conveys that you are a very nice person that will be a good listener or give good advice. But I gotta say, don't do a "we'll see" with this one. Sure he seemed "good enough to unhide your profile and send him an email", but it sounds like he's got more issues than the last two guys you've counseled, ahem, I mean gone out with! :-) Just NEXT this dude and see if you can find another one that looks fine that maybe doesn't have so much baggage!

Hi Amjay,

I have a gf that also works in a law office and she gets so tired of the whining the divorcing people do instead of just getting on with it and doing what they whine about. I mean, sure they do have valid reasons to complain sometimes when the system takes so long - but that is another issue. I don't think I could work in a law office because I know the negative stuff would get to me. I can imagine the stuff you've seen there!

It sounds like you are a very strong person and handled your breakup quite well. That's great.

I have mostly dated divorced guys and it seems that usually there have been unresolved issues with the ex, so now, the guy I'm seeing that hasn't been married and has no kids, is quite different without having those ex issues. It's actually quite nice.

Hi Donna,

I think I read on another post where you said you have a degree in psychology... now I understand why you lean toward counseling with the OLD guys since you probably enjoy that field. I do agree with CGUN and Vexer that it may be better to just not start things with these types of guys... I had to learn it the hard way myself. I'm feeling for ya... but I'm proof that you CAN change what type of guys you attract also. I'd read over your profile to see if there are any clues that you have that shoulder to cry on, or should I say to complain to.

Sunshine
