I agree with Msharmony.

I second that!

Hi Mike!
It's not soon to date. And It's cool that you are a dad that cares about your child. Some women will keep away because you have children, mostly because of the troubles that comes with having an ex not the child itself. I dated men with children and had no issues with it. If the girl understands your child will always be a priority, things will be fine. Yes you are handsome, and don't change who you are, someone will appreciate how nice you are.
Best of luck!

GreenEyes48,
I feel lonely all the time. Even with a busy day and trying to pass the time reading, listening to music or watching a movie I get soooo lonely my heart aches. But its life I think, and will not be like this forever. I'm sorry to hear about your husband, He lives through your memories and you are blessed to have that. And you will find companionship again, you are a lovely woman, some lucky man will love to have you.
I wish you the best and if you ever need to talk, drop me a line. From one lonely girl to another
Amanda

Beautiful!
Welcome!

You just give up on living. It's devastatingly sad. I don't think it is a single motive, it's the piling up of tragedies, desperation, lost of hope. You lose connection to the world, to people, everything becomes meaningless and inanimate. If you already feel worthless and a failure, one single disappointment can throw you down the edge. I cannot judge who choose this path, everyone considers it at some point in life, I can only pray that their suffering ended, and morn for those whose life were taken without cause.

Darling, you are someone's perfect guy. Perfection is subjective. For me the perfect guy is honest, a geek like me, loves books, music and gadgets. Would watch silly vids on youtube with me and help me fix my laptop or ignore my hours coding XHTML and the fact that I only buy books after smelling them lol...

I totally agree! Off course people are visual and go first for the looks, but in 5 seconds you can see that it is not enough. The one man I truly loved was not what you would call handsome, but every time we talked and I got to see him as a real person, got to know his soul and personality and he became the most beautiful man I ever seen. Pity things were not meant to be. I hope to find a beautiful soul, the vessel becomes perfect when you really look what it is inside.

I was alone for 2 years, then decided to try this online dating thing. Met 3 guys through it and 1 offline was a setup from a friend.
2 only went on a first date, cause they were crazy and I missed my calling as a therapist. 3rd one i dated for months and turned out to be married (that broke me up) and the one my friend set me up with, let's say, she is no longer a friend. Jeez, there is anyone with the smallest resemblance of normal around? Corky I can cope with cause I'm a freak myself, but plain crazy, I'm off. Is there mail order grooms? I think I might try that lol.

Being overly intimate by calling me sexy, babe, etc. Wanting to marry you or saying they love you without knowing anything about you, not to mention the fact that I live in a different country and they expect me to go visit them like its a walk in the park lol. I would move to another country, but the guy would have to come here, meet me, meet my friends and family, you know see if we fall in love. Make an effort. Hello? People seem to have lost common sense or am I a freak here.

Oh honey, no need to do anything. People like that find their comeuppances soon enough. I dated someone I met on a site for months, He came to Brazil, I spent the best time of my life with him, fell deeply in love, I was going to move to his country, because he said he loved me too, I was filled with dreams. You know what happened? He is married and have children. Made me feel like a fool and broke my heart, but you know, I forgave it and I'm moving on. To do something like this a person must be in a state of either desperation or have no character whatsoever. So why do anything? His own life is punishment enough. I lost nothing, but got my heart broken and my pride hurt, that will heal, him, on the other hand, has to live with himself for the rest of his days...

It's hard, and sometimes we do want to give up. I did so a couple of times but came back. There is someone for you, it is going to happen, the hard part is being patient, I Know I have lost mine a lot. Some people approach saying they are looking for a relationship but they are just browsing around, it sucks and you get your heart broken, but in the end all is going to be worth when you find that one soul that complements yours. You are young and a beautiful person, hang in there, I know from experience how it is. I used to weight 300 pounds and I lost 150, and tried to change all about myself because I though I had some kind of problem, I now realize, was never about me or how I looked, but the people I was opening myself to. To find the right person you have to let go of the wrong ones. Good luck sweetie!

I find that this is the worse kind of lie, because you are purposely hiding something, you know you should disclose. And why?
I believe everyone is entitled to have a few secrets, but not when you mislead others by doing it, if it is potentially harmful, just be honest. I rather be hurt a thousand times by the truth than live an entire story based on a lie.

I met some great people and some not so great, through here and offline, there is always one constant for me, I feel I'm going to be alone, not because I want to, being single can be nice, but I miss having someone to come home to, to be affectionate with, to cook for and share a laugh. Unfortunately I found out most people just want a past time, to satiate an immediate pleasure or appease their loneliness for some time and usually don't care whom they hurt in the process. It's a real pity, I think I have a lot to offer and seems like life is a bit empty when you don't have anyone to share it with.

You look like a good kisser. I would kiss you

For me kissing can be more intimate than sex. I love kissing, and do please use your tongue.
I think is the start of everything. A kiss can tell you about the personality of the kisser, if sex would be good. I think is a way to connect to the other. It's a way to nurture the heart, express desire, affection...
I just looooove kissing.
I miss it more than anything!

Guy I met online and spent 3 amazing weeks in Rio with:

On Monday, 3 days after he went back to Texas: I fell in love with you the moment I saw your smile at the airport.

Me: I think I'm in love too

Tuesday: Guy: I can't stand being apart from you, I'm coming back to Rio as soon as I can and I want you to come back with me.

Me: I miss you too, and I would visit with you but we have to see where it goes.

Wednesday: Guy: I can't stand hiding this from you anymore, I'm not separated, I'm still married, but I'm getting a divorce.

Me: Wtf? So you lied to me for 4 months, and the entire time we talked your wife was in the next room

guy: Yes, I'm sorry. I'm so upset about it...
Me: (still in total shock)

Some say wise people learn from the mistakes of others, but sometimes we need to make our own mistakes and take some wrong paths to be able to recognize the right one.

I don't really see any problems with your profile. You are being honest about your expectations and that is always good. Some people might find it kind of harsh that you are not interested in anyone else that doesn't fit your description though. You've got to be willing to get to know people to find someone to love, sometimes you get a good surprise from people you don't expect.
Good luck. I hope you find what you want.

True I do need to cheer up. But it seems everytime i get up, someone hits me to the ground again. Sometimes i wish i had no heart. :) Being a bi*** seems to pay off.
