I so hate dating.......
| Wed, 02-27-2008 - 10:46pm |
Why do I put myself through the misery? OLD is YUK. I just tend to meet these men that are not what I'm into, then I go to these meetup groups and its the same guys I see on OLD. I mean REALLY, no joking! It's the same guys! LOL. I just feel like it's never going to happen unless I really make an effort to get out of the house

But don't think of it a 7 years - think of it as just when you got here - Europe doesn't count!! LOL!!
And I know it is frustrating with OLD - but it does bring a lot more people to your door.
And yes yes I know we are stuck at home a lot more with our little precious packages - but that is the way it is - and people who don't have them really don't have that many more opportunities.
Hang in there!! And keep typing us your stories - even when they aren't good - it is always fun to hear about a new one you are emailing or talking to!!!!!
I have been deleting a lot too.
Okay - here is a short term memory list.
MtEverest is dating someone else - as I discovered on his facebook account. She is younger so he is entitled. And dating is dating.
There was one who was into Kaballah - delete.
One who closed because he is a widow and is not ready for dating - probably just wanted to dabble on EH.
One too short.
One who is into drinking a bottle of wine every night.
Some too old.
Some too far.
I think I have 412 in the trash about now. LOL!!!!
I guess the frustrating thing is that when you are older you see what you get - which is good - but you don't like a lot of what you see!!
Im noticing more of a trend my way also about strong,independent,opinionated women.Most guys seems to shy off after they see that side of a woman,atleast with my case it seems.I dont want to be some ninny clinging to their every need.One of the reasons I did get divorced was I wasnt my own individual.I couldnt have my own identity I was controlled 98% of the time.Now I am fiercely independent and loving it.Some dont know how to handle a woman that makes as close to their income or more either.Yes its 2008 but men are still men afterall and need to be the main breadwinner at times.
I had a older woman tell me something I have given ALOT of thought about lately just a few days ago.I was groaning on and on about how I needed my other 1/2 and I was lonely and wanted male companionship sometimes that I NEEDED to feel like a WHOLE woman.She replied to me,"Alaina,you are as complete a woman as you will ever be.You dont need to find someone to COMPLETE you cause you arent incomplete,You need a man that will COMPLIMENT you." I agree after thinking about it. I dont think I want any man that I would have to back down who I am just for them to be with me or accept me. Its ok Cat...surely there HAS to be one out there left for us all!
I think this is the difference, at least for me:
The sad thing is, I could have a serious married sugar daddy if I wanted too. He has offered to travel me around the world to be with me, but I still refuse 7 years later. He just doesn't get what he needs at home so he stays in the marriage because of the money.
I have a lot of opportunities and options, but just not the one's I want. It sucks.
Wow...couldnt have said it all better myself. I think all in all thats what everybody wants
M~ who would change her pancake butt for a little j-lo any day LOL
