Age doesn't matter to me. I guess I should have said more. Most are all in the early to late twenties, one in his thirties...I am invited to work related parties...and I'll just say they party a bit too much for me. I did that in my teens, 20's and early 30's and its just not my cup of tea anymore. So its a little difficult to have things in common with my co-workers when all they want to do is get drunk or stoned ya know?

gypsy!!! Yeah I know....everyone I work with is at least 10 years younger than me and heck I'm only 40!!!

its very difficult for me too. I work long hours, share my kids with my ex-husband, and still have to take care of things at home.

People say go out...you can't be seen unless you're out, and i know that's true. Its just I don't have many friends (I just moved to Jersey after being away for 7 years), so its difficult to find people to go out with (most of my friends are married). Sometimes I want to give up!!! Because its really not the end of the world to be alone....I mean I have my kids....I love my job...anyway, just venting a bit I guess.

I have to get my son ready for Boy Scout camp....go shopping for supplies, do laundry, clean house.

Wish i had a someone special to hang out with....:{

thank you....much appreciated. This whole thing just brings back so many memories of me and my ex...very difficult.

I just got home from attending a wake of a very good friend of mine. He was the firefighter in jersey who passed away suddenly on Sunday. It was unbelievable! They blocked the highways off...the entire fire department was there guarding the casket and ushering people in and out. There was at least 400 people there. You see, I was married to a fireman for 10 years. The man who died, his wife was the one to introduce me to my ex. Back in the 80's, we went on double dates together. And I just can't believe that this wonderful man is now not with us anymore. He left behind a wife, a 12-year old son and a 2 year old son.

After reading all the posts and posting a few myself, I think it is time for me to do some soul searching. Love the site! All you guys are great! Just need to take some time for myself, get myself in shape, physically and mentally. Thank you all for nice things said and I'll be back!

my daughter, 14, is dying to see it. She reads all the books and then when she knows the movie is coming out, she'll go back and read the book and is upset when the movie doesn't quite match the book....lol

right native

I don't get it either...you hear on these forums that they want email and then when you send em, no one replies....go figure.

well said!

I personally went on the second...just to make sure. I thought maybe he was nervous (which is understandable). Another thing: I was NOT nervous at all. That was my first clue.

its hard to explain. I know with me...its a feeling I get...and I become more playful and flirty. If there is no spark, its just talk ya know?

nurse....I have the same problem. I went on a date (two in fact) with someone I had been chatting with and talking to. Nothing. REal nice guy, had a lot in common...but no spark. Bummer!

what do you do?

very well written...((clapping))

you go puffins. I agree 100%. It only results in hurt feelings.

personally, I think that once you've had your "first" love...and you get hurt...you never love like that again....I know I never have.

youre welcome nurse....best wishes

and not in that "weird" way either....lol
