Roll call and what are you looking for?
| Thu, 04-26-2007 - 8:56am |
Hi to all:
Wow our board has been rocking and rolling right along. We have all situations and stages of dating right now and that makes it so exciting for me and everyone to log on.
I was thinking we haven't done a roll call in a while. Tell us
- your age
- how many kids and their age
- what part of the world you live in (okay to skip or give approximate if you like)
- how long on your own
- who is your ideal dating partner and what you are looking for - or if you found him - what you like about him and how you met
Happy Thurday!!

I'm Moody, and I'm 26.
My kids are Droid who is 8, and the Princess, who will be 6 in a couple of weeks.
We live in central (upstate) New York, in the boonies.
I have been divorced for 6 years, almost. Had one serious relationship that ended about 2 years ago, and now am dating funnyguy.
My ideal match is like me, only male. In fact, I put this on my match profile (where I met funnyguy). He's smart and funny, steady as a rock yet fun and spontaneous, willing to go with the flow, we agree on parenting styles, money habits and dream vacations. It's so hard to describe exactly what it is you're looking for, however it's amazingly easy to realize I've found it. I pretty much like everything so far about funnyguy, and haven't found any habits or characteristics that aren't in sync with my own.
Moody, jumping on the welcome wagon a little late

- your age
36
- how many kids and their age
4--DD 12, DS 10, DD 5, DS 3
- what part of the world you live in
Germany, for a little while longer
- how long on your own
8 months, but seems we were nothing more than roommates for years longer
- who is your ideal dating partner and what you are looking for...
Its hard to say at the moment but one thing I realized is that I grew up having inappropriate affection and then married a man that just couldnt seem to give affection (14 years married)...so I have a lot of making up to do!! I want a man who is not afraid to show me affection, not afraid to share his thoughts and feelings with me (thats the intimate emotional part I long for). Intelligent, thinks about things (not just wears other peoples opinions like so many people now-a-days). That he would have a big heart with room enough not only for me but also my kids. Security and stability, I want to feel like I can depend on him and that when I need to hide from the world that I can just run into his arms. I want to be loved, treasured and appreciated. And that he would realize that the gift of my heart is a very special thing.
- how many kids and their age~ 3 DS's ages 10, 6 & 4
- what part of the world you live in (okay to skip or give approximate if you like)~ Northern NJ
- how long on your own~ seperated 3 years ago/divorced finalized 1 year ago
- who is your ideal dating partner and what you are looking for - or if you found him - what you like about him and how you met~ someone slightly older than me and mature with a good sense of humor. A great communicator. Someone that's willing to get to know my kids at some point in time and integrate our lives together (I've been in a few short relationships where I felt that I had two seperate lives~I'd love for it all to come together at the appropriate time) Would be nice if he had a child or two also just so that he would know where I'm coming from.
Hi all! I post once in a while but am mainly a lurker but here goes...
- your age = 41
- how many kids and their age = 2, DS is 6 and DD is 3
- what part of the world you live in (okay to skip or give approximate if you like) = Southern California
- how long on your own = 2 years next Saturday (not that I'm counting...YAY!)
- who is your ideal dating partner and what you are looking for - or if you found him - what you like about him and how you met = I may have met my ideal partner. I found R online (Match.com). He winked at me about 2 months and I emailed him, suggesting he call me so that we could see if we click. We had coffee and have been together ever since (after I had been out on many bad online dates, I might add). He is warm, caring, funny, gentle, a good dad to his 6 kids (yes, 6 but 4 are over 19m, thank goodness), and just a lot of fun to be with. He actually has a good job and has the time to devote to a relationship without suffocating me. After the abuse I suffered in my marriage, he is a godsend. Accepts me as I am. I feel like this is the best relationship I've been in in my entire life and I feel very blessed.
That's
your age~ 32
- how many kids and their age~ 1 boy he is eight years old.
- what part of the world you live in (okay to skip or give approximate if you like)~
Kirkland, WA
- how long on your own~
I have been divorced for 7 years.
- who is your ideal dating partner and what you are looking for - Someone who understand what i am and lets me be me.
or if you found him - what you like about him and how you met~
We found each other on Craiglist. I had tried all the other online dating sites with no luck. The few guys i did meet had a hard time dealing with me being disabled ( I have Lupus )and not working ( i am on SSD). When i place ad on Craigslist i got a lot of replys and chose a few to get to know them more. My SO was the first one i talked on the phone with and then went out for coffee. We have been together for three months and are very happy.
I'm 40-something Soonee, with DS (13) and DD(10) in the DFW area of Texas.
Rebecca, 39 (NOT 40 .... yet!)
Hi my name is Jackie
I just tuned 44 and have 4 wonderful daughters 21 20 14 13 and 1 grand daughter 11 weeks they are all the light of my life..
I am from Northeast Indiana
I have been divorced for 12 years now and am contemplating trying the OLD thing thinking its now time for me...... just cant get up enough nerve.
I truly dont know what Im looking for my Mr. Right if he is out there I know he surely hasnt appeared yet??!!! but who knows.
I dont post much on here but I do love reading all the stories they are GREAT
I am a "lurker" unlurking.
I have to say ditto to TJ. I was denied affection for a long time, so affection is #1 in my list of requirements.
I am 38, have two sons 9 &7 who are the smartest kids ever (just ask them). I have been divorced only a month, but was separated for 1 1/2 years.
We live in Orlando, Fl. I have them one week on, one week off. This may sound selfish, but it is the best arrangement ever. I have a life that is not filled (at all times) with housework, laundry, being a mom. I have a life of my own that was denied to me for many years.
I am looking for an easy going guy, who understands that people are not perfect. Sees the good and bad in people and does not make mountains out of molehills. He has the ability to compromise and cares if his significant other is happy. And if she is not, makes an effort.
I want someone who likes kids, and understands the love a mom feels for her sons.
Also - want a guy who can get "freaky" ...I was denied that for a long time too:)
PS - To Moody - your description of your guy was very inspirational. I hope to be half as happy as you seem to be. I wish I could express things as beautifully as you did.
There is hope for us!
Rebecca, I love your thorough description of your dream man! You've obviously put a lot of thought into it.
HMMMM, let me see. I'm Laurinda, 36yo with two, DS 16 & DD 12. We live in Las Vegas, for about 6 years now. Before that I lived in Florida (miami and orlando) for about 10 years. I was
