NOTHING in common
For the last couple days, have been exchanging short emails with a guy on POF.....just basics, where he lives, what he does, does he have kids, etc. So, last night I asked about his pics because from one to another they seem very different - same person, just a differentl "look". He told me which one was most recent....and…

Small World
I was supposed to meet a guy on Saturday--the one I had been talking to on computer/emailing with for a couple weeks. On Friday, he said we would meet at the outlets at 3-4ish.....he would know more on the time once he got to see his daughter (he was going to spend day with her). I never heard from him again. So, Saturday…

Does everyone have "one that got away"?
I always wondered this because my Nana used to talk about her "one that got away" as did other older people. And, I wondered if I would have one---I don't think of my ex husband as the one that got away- better phrases for him--but I guess there are a couple guys that could fit in this category........ One was when I was…

Amusing story
I was to dinner with a friend the other night and ran into a woman I knew for years. I used to babysit her twins--they are 18 now--girl is in college, boy is in boot camp for the Navy. So, she proceeds to ask me about dating--she divorced a few years ago and knew I had also divorced..... We start talking about POF, and she…

Women "speaking their mind"?
I am talking to a new guy, and the other night we were discussing what each of us is looking for in a partner.....and he stated he "wants a woman that speaks her mind" and my response was "really????" and he said "yes, especially when he is wrong" and sounds like he was being facetious, but he was serious, and we discussed…

Chemistry
What does "chemistry" mean to you relationship wise? To me, it means the whole pkg.......if you have great chemistry (after meeting someone) it means you click, like their personality and there is mutual attraction. But......was talking to a guy friend..........and he sees it differently............he said--in…

Need opinions from guys and girls
Okay, so most of you know I have been seeing a guy since mid January, and our issue is due to time restraints for both of us, we only see each other once a week. For me, this is not enough...........I don't think we are getting anywhere, and don't know how he feels. Let me say that the time restraints are: Mon and Wed I…

Weekend plans?
What is up for the weekend for Superbowl weekend? Not much for me....I may surprise my mom and take her to the casino tomorrow--not my favorite place, but high on her list! On Sunday, going to my cousins Superbowl party, and I am making chili. I most likely will not stay for the whole game--on way past my bedtime! I hated…

A note on my desk this morning........
I got into work this morning, and found a note on my desk. It was from one of the guys that work for us, asking me out for Friday night!!!! While this sounds great, it is not. We have no rules against dating within work place, but just doesn't feel right. I know very little about this man......he is older than me, not sure…

Tell me about your BEST date.........
Everyone always wants to hear the worst dates, because they are usually funny, but with V-Day looming and "love" in the air, describe your best date---doesn't have to be best with current interest/sign. other either. My best date: was with a guy named Alex from online....we connected through online dating, and he wanted to…

Date last night, another tonight :)
Had the 2nd date with "not from internet dating" guy last night. It was good---we went to dinner again, and talked for 3 hours-we laughed alot, and he opened up a bit more. But, again at the end of the date, no mention of getting together again, so I just figured we will be friends and that is that. But then, this morning,…

Everyone have a crazy weekend?
no one is here? My weekend was crazy busy, but with plans/shopping for my nieces bday.......that was pretty much it. But, I do have another dinner scheduled with the "not from online dating" guy :)

MISTEXT
I think pretty much everyone has done this, and just thought some stories would be fun to share. I thought of it because I did it yesterday, but was not bad.....Just a "how is your day going" to a guy I have been texting for some t ime, but have never met---but it went to the not from online dating date--ooops!! Luckily,…

"not from online dating" date tonight!!!
Hey all....been divorced this month for 2 years and seperated for a year before that, and tonight I have my first date that is not from online dating site:wink: And, I am MORE nervous than I am with the online dates. After my final chem exam, a group of 4 of us went to lunch and one of my friends mentioned her very nice,…

Do you have a type?
I realize most people have a type they are attracted to, but my "type" is nothing like what I think I like. I prefer tall men,and always used to go for dark hair/light eyes type, but now I tend to go for the shaved head, goatee look. The last 3 guys I have dated have had the shaved head, and the goatee, but been on the…

How do you know when you are "over" someone?
Most you you know that I got 'dumped' last week (via text), and had no real closure. I don't know how to know when I am "over" someone---with my divorce, we did the whole dating/trying to make it work for like 4 mos, and so it slowly came to an end and I was over him by the time he told me the dating thing wasn't working…
-
Second Chances?
Do you believe in giving an ex a second chance? I am sure for some, it probably depends on what they did to become an ex...but in general--some have steadfast "no second chance" rule....I am the opposite--with the exception of two (the only 2 that I did the breaking up with) I have been asked to date again--my ex husband…

In order to get to know you better....
can we do some sort of roll call? I feel like there are lots of new people, and since I haven't been so active lately, I would like to know some of you better......name, age and where from? I know we have done it before, but lots of new faces since the last time...... Maureen (Moe) 40 CT

"Breaking Amish" Fans?
I have been watching this show, but I just don't really get it? I get that 5 people that were Amishor Mennonite went to NYC to "see the world, but if they leave they get shunned? But, after you are shunned you can get "back in"? One of the guys was married before and was shunned, but then was Amish again, but the girl…
-
Do you believe?
....that "everything happens for a reason"? The reason I ask is this.....I had met a guy on a dating site....great guy, but in a conversation, it came out that he "probably would never marry again, and would really have to be convinced to even live with someone again." So my feeling was what was the point in dating…

Weekend and Storm Sandy
Just curious what everyone is up to for the weekend? I have a quiet night tonight as my bf wants dinner with just kids/dad and since he never gets that, I get why he wants it. Then tomorrow I take my nieces to gymnastics, then have a Halloween party. Then Sunday we have to get our beach cottage ready for Sandy--we lost the…

When do YOU notice your own weight loss?
so, I have lost almost 40 lbs since mid June, but I don't see it. I see that my clothes don't fit....had to have some things taken in, and others just eliminated from my wardrobe completely, but to see changes I don't see them. People have commented that I "look great", "can really see a difference", but I don't "see"…

Does one always love more?
I heard once many years ago...may have been from "teen" movie, I can't remember, that in a couple, one person is always more in love than the other. Jen's thread on love got me thinking about this........do any of you agree with this thought?

How do you handle?
Okay, so I had date #5 with "J" this weekend. He is great, I like him alot and am eager to see him again (tonight). Here is my question: a coworker asked me about him, and what time he left Friday night? Well, he didn't leave, he spent the night BUT I did not have sex with him and he was ok with that. She said to…

At 4 I texted him to confirm plans .....at 5 he responded yup...leaving now....never showed up!! I texted once to ask what he drove and no…
