>>Okay. Now you've piqued my curiosity. But at the same time I'm almost afraid to ask what you meant by that comment.<<

Only that I've done plenty of foolish, silly, stupid things in my life; and that given that history, the odds are really really really good that I'll do something foolish, silly, and/or stupid again.

Odds are that I'll do it soon, too. Don't know what it is, don't know what I'll do, but given my ability to do stupid/silly/foolish things, I'm sure there's SOMETHING out there waiting for me! LOL

I've made mistakes, but none that I'm ebarrassed to admit. Getting excited about someone too early, or getting physical too early. But that's about it.

Let's see...

dated someone long distance?
If you consider 80 miles one way (1 and a half hour drive) long distances then yes, I have. Have had dates with others about 5 hours away, but they were in town and you never know.

dated someone who is divorced?
Yes, and I have found that it is easier to date someone who has been divorced than someone who has never been married. I like some time to myself and the divorced ones understand that.

dated someone with kids/without kids?
I dated both, and again, it is easier to date someone with children. They understand that children do take time and therefore time can be unpredictable.

dated someone who made significantly more/less than you do?
I have never dated anyone who made less than me...remember I am a teacher...it is hard to do.

dated someone whose level of education was higher/lower than yours?
Have dated people with less education than me...don't really like to unless thay have done well for themselves. I was engaged to someone who had less education than me, but I felt like I always had to help him with the business side of his business. I want a partner, not someone else to take care of. I guess I wouldn't have minded, but when I gave him advice, he never took it and then in the end he always wondered why something didn't go the way he wanted.

dated someone whose first language isn't English?
Nope, this is something I am really bad with. I will only date caucasian men. Just not attracted to any other races.

dated someone who doesn't drive/have a car?
yes, but does high school count? Couldn't even imagine.

dated someone who doesn't live alone?
Only one guy didn't live alone....he actually lived with his mother. Was a real turn off at first, but then couldn't figure out if it bothered me because he was living with her or if I was just jealous because the rent he paid her was substantially less than my mortgage payment.

dated someone for more than two months?
Yes, I have dated someone online for about a year and four months to be exact. Have broken up a few times, but he doesn't leave me alone for more than four days. I do continue to date, I just can't seem to find that connection with anyone else.

Finally....who here has never ever made some really foolish and naive mistakes that are almost too embarrassing to admit ?
I'm sure we all do...if we didn't we wouldn't have anything to talk about here. So, keep doing the embarassing things so I have something to read about. It is more interesting than the news.
