I have found on line dating tricky.

It is difficult trying to sort those a.) that want only bedroom activity 2.) those that are just checking you out to see if you are better than the last date C.) those that will fall in love with anyone that comes along. d.) those that are seriously looking for Ms Right

I always introduce a man that I am on a date with as "my special friend"

Some day I hope I will be able to introduce a special friend as "my Sweetheart"

I think everyone needs some one to love and someone to love them

I would love someone to cuddle up with and watch a movie right now

Tiger these are my thoughts.

Everyone out there needs someone to love them.

I believe there is a perfect match out there for everyone.

On the path to finding that someone. We have hurt and heart ache.

I think people need to be more patient and let love manifest from friendship.

I will be the first to admit that I am not patient when a man melts my heart. But it is a lesson that I am learning and controlling.

Ann I got my first taste of the "new" dating world 14 months ago with a Doctor. Yes and MD

Like you these rural areas have no parks, singles clubs or places to socialize.

The only ones that come a knocking at our door are "yeah honks" that want to rumple a bed with barely a hello.

It's been interesting returning to the dating world. I will e-mail you later in the day.

I can speak only for myself.

I like men that are honest and have a warm personality. Also good communication skills. I'm not a mind reader

Thank You everyone!!!! I really appreciate everyones response!

AnnG I know you are scared. I was.

I know what it is like to live in a very rural area. It's lonely and depressing.

I got tired of being lonely and took the leap. I'm not scared now. Just confused.

Dating etiquette has changed.digger and longhair biker Thanks. I taking your advise very seriously.

Now I have another question for everyone.

After 9 days or so would it be appropriate to send him a friendly e-mail and tell him I was thinking about him?

Something like that would have never crossed my mind 35 years ago?

I told you all in a previous post that I was going to need lots of advise now that I am venturing into the dating world again.

I had what I thought was a great second date.

He said he would call
I wrote him a Thank You e-mail for a great day. I got no response

What is the time frame for waiting before I give up hope that he will call?

I know I read something along these lines in a post a while back but I can't seem to find the post again
I'm sorry to make everyone repeat their opinions

I know your feelings!!!!

I am as confused as you are.

Like you two great dates. He said he would like to get together again.

I send him a Thank You e-mail. Nothing.

Does it make you feel like they looking you over and checking you out? Right now this is my feelings.

I have been out of the dating scene for 38 years. I hope everyone will put up with me posting/asking a lot of questions.

I had a date for lunch last week. I felt instant chemistry when I met him

How do I tell if he did?

He seems a bit shy BUT.... He did call today and ask me to have lunch again this week.

Thanks everyone for making me feel welcomed

I am looking forward to my stay here. Hopefully I will fid love in my life again

Hi Everyone.

I am new here. I'm new to dating again. I am widowed starting over after 40 years of marriage and I have a question.

How far are men willing to travel to meet a new person?

I live in a very rural area with no matches within 50 miles

Everyones insight will be appreciated.
