Date.

Yeah, and as little as possible AFTER the first date.

Normal? No.

Wise? Probably.

The person who cheats is unhappy. Either with themselves, or the person they are with. Then they find someone that makes them feel happy. Whether it is real or not, they believe it at the time.

lol

"Don't worry honey, it's not cheating if he used a condom."

If it looks and/or sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

People can be whatever, or whoever, they want to be, on the internet.

Or they can be who you want them to be.

All I'm saying is: be careful.

Well said. I like all of them.

Also, it's o.k. to catch up on world affairs, but maybe avoid politics on the first date.

Why have I never thought of doing it this way?!!!

It is always more difficult for the one that got broken up with. Personally, at my age, if someone were to break up with me, I can be friendly and polite, but I wouldn't hang out with them any longer.

Interesting topic. Given this past election and the two great candidates we all had to choose from, I wouldn't necessarily eliminate someone based on voting differently than I did.

And when it comes to choosing friends, I think we all sort of lean towards people that we have most in common with. It's almost like human nature. That being said, I think we all have some friends that we differ with politically, but still appreciate something about them, to the point of calling them "friend."

But looking for a relationship? My guess is, political views play a part in compatibility. I'm one that looks for someone that I'm compatible with, someone that I have a lot in common with. And if you are on different ends of the spectrum politically, that would probably make it difficult to really form a connection.

Damn! If a guy on stage with a harmonica can't get a date, I'm in trouble.

Personally, I would take your last name out of your profile information.

Also, I would take out the part about being separated. It's important to be honest, but it is listed down in the "Lifestyle" section already. Some women will by-pass your profile, because of it, but that's okay. The ones that don't will ask you about it. That is when you should give them any details. Honesty is one thing, giving up too much information up-front is another.

Take out the negative. If you actually get a date, just use your parents car. Again, it's not dishonest. You're in the process of getting a car. Nobody needs to know that much about your business up-front.

Good luck to you.

Your rationale would be a red flag for me.

I like her profile. It's well thought out.

If only.

Agree with this.

If he just spends time in his room, you will have to agree to a time to actually sit down and talk about where he would like his life to go, and how he would like to get there. Thus, introducing the idea of a counselor or therapist(preferably a psychologist) to help him with that, if he is unsure of either (which he obviously is).

Typically, I would tell you, don't solicit advice from people not qualified to give it (defeating the purpose of many of these forums, haha). Everyone here has an opinion (me too, lol), but our qualifications all come from life experiences, which are as varied as the number of us on here. A GOOD psychologist should be trained to specifically help with some of your son's problems.

Good luck.
