I haven't but I'll keep it in mind.

A prominent vermillion ridge. A strong grasp of the written word. Someone that can get deep on a topic, but makes sure he has a broad knowledge base too. A high earning white collar guy that doesn't think he's above, or his time is too valuable for, fix it projects around the house.

I just happen to be listening to a podcast about Dahmer https://open.spotify.com/episode/2oVsgMTjBr5SlEg8PG50iq?si=Eh_vQewmSCyC6LRwD4Ju4g&utm_source=copy-link

When I've told him I'm a terrible cook, but he's brave enough to risk it.

I can appreciate this. I have had a similar experience and would also say that it wasn't love at first sight. I don't know that my logical side would have ever allowed, much less admitted, that. It was definitely an overwhelming desire to be in his sphere.

I believe it's possible, but odds are far worse than the likelihood of winning the lottery. Friends are friends, there's no crossing streams for me. I am not a fan of the idea of growing into love. I don't want someone to grow on me, because that feels like there was a negative view of the person. I would rather there be a…

I never take b/w pics of my face because it feels so unforgiving to my evidence of life, but it's the only way for definition to realky show for me. vs

I consider exercise brain love more than body love. While I appreciate the physical results of working out, the mental impact is what keeps me motivated. I feel it most when I've pushed my body and the 2 day delay kicks in. That feeds my psyche and reminds me to tell myself that I'm a bad *kitten* in my own way.

In the past I was strictly no PDA beyond the very chaste, old school, tuck my hand in the crook of his elbow. Over the last few years my boundaries have been pushed to the point that I'm more than comfortable with holding hands, hugs for someone other than immediate family and the closest of friends, and even a peck or two…

The typical evening Annual night out

Emotional unavailability. Makes me feel better about my limited availability.

I send the guy I'm seeing gifs, reels and links to articles that I think he might find interesting. I send all of those to friends and family too.

This makes me wonder if she was really blindsided or if there had been mention of it previously and she didn't pick up on it. Here's one that's related: Do you (general) feel like you really hear and comprehend what a partner is saying. To get their meaning or intent, instead of yours? As a single lady of a certain age,…

Which leads to the distinction between open and poly. I would struggle with being in a poly relationship. The thought of the person I love having similar romantic/emotional feelings for someone else feels like a bigger threat to me than physical interaction.

Same. I have not been been in an open relationship myself, but if trust has been established and proven, there's open and honest communication and a deep, dirty discussion about boundaries... I'm in. I've been involved in open relationship in an ancillary role and those relationships are the type that should be…

4 or 5, plus a few friends/family. Stamina depends on how interesting the topics of conversation are. No mix ups yet...

Same. I asked someone on a date for this weekend and plan to pay for the activity and dinner. It won't be a big deal if he insists, but I dont expect him to bankroll plans I'm making for us. I'll admit that I like this. I use my manners when a man treats me to dinner, opens doors, etc and thank them verbally. Appreciation…

When he knows that contacting me on Valentine's Day will scare me off.

I've met a few and was happy to have had the opportunity and taken it. No funny business was anticipated, or had, so disappointment wasn't an issue.

Conversation hearts are gross.

@slimgirljo15 Oh, you!

I don’t post often so that is very kind of you to say. I appreciate it.

His physical appearance is only a piece of the whole. So many other facets that I am not in the realm of.

When he's so far out of my league I could never actually be of interest to him, but he's kind enough to chat with me about of variety of topics.

About 5 years ago I started messaging with a man whose writing style, intelligence, and varied abilities piqued my interest. We met over a month later on Halloween. I had met several other men and was disappointed by every interaction, so it's fair to say my enthusiasm for the process had waned. When I laid eyes on him…

I was kicked out of the house at 20. I was working full-time and in school full-time. I didn't want to be there anyway and had plans to leave, so it wasn't terrible. It was the best for everyone and I have a good relationship, not only with my family but, specifically my parents. It would take a lot for me to kick my own…

That's what I imagined too until I started dating again. I quickly realized that was not necessarily the case. I have added a question about what getting physical means to them and what expectations they would have of the relationship. The response I get most often would put emphasis on the "somewhat" in your "somewhat…
