I guess I am talking more about us folks in our 50s. When a man loses everything to a marriage or common law partner; its quite devasting. I am not talking about someone asking about finances on a date but more after you start living together. Once you start living common law; you have a chance of losing everything. At our age; its way too hard to start over again and its not like we can move to a better paying job as no one will hire us. At the time that person may seem like your soulmate but they may indeed not be. As has been said; there can be more than one soul mate. Myself I have met two of them; one that was a romantic one and now one that is a friend. My friend and I have a deep connection that I have never felt with anyone. I feel as though he can read my mind, anticipate everything I do or say. Its almost scary how he reads me but I know he can never be more than my friend as he loves another. As for scammers; I have heard of a few women that were married for 5 or 6 years only to come home one day from work to see their house and bank account cleared out. It can happen to anyone at any time no matter how much you trust a person.

I don't know. I believe we have many many many souls in our lives that we reconnect with through reincarnation over and over.

I did not bail on my 20 year relationship until it became pure hell.

But I think it's good to bail if within a month or so or less, you realize that this person is REALLY not for you. I find some people cling to a month old relationship that is strained and toxic for years and that's not good.

It also depends if the other person is as devoted as you are.

I mentally am not in a place where even if I found a soul mate, I would run off. Not that I would never relocate but you have to be in a place mentally where you are ready to accept that kind of commitment. I mean I tried faking that but it doesn't work. Anybody who knows me for real, knows how much I still hurt over Bri.

I don't know if it is just the idea of getting hurt that stops the older generation from finding love. I think for the men; at least the ones I met its the financial scare. If you marry or now even if you live Common-law; you're partner is entitled to take half your stuff. Even is you suggest a pre-nup; that person will take it personally and probably won't stay with you. I also think there are a lot of users, scammers, and very dangerous people out there. When you are young and naive; you don't think much about the dangers of possibly meeting someone that could be psychotic and of course you don't think about the financial loss if your relationship breaks up or the person turns out to be a scammer. As we get older; we get wiser. I also think as we get older too; we aren't willing to put up with abuse or neglect as we know damn well, we can survive on our own.

I recall a story about the
'Worst First Date Ever.'

The woman won it, hands down,
everybody agreed.

First date with a guy, they were
driving home in a snowstorm.
She had to 'go.'
He pulled off the freeway to the
side.
It was a bad storm so he said, 'Stand
right behind the car for privacy.'
There were no other cars around.

So she went behind the car, pulled her
pants down, and in that act, deposited
her bum on the trunk.
Where she stuck.
To the trunk lid.

What to do...
Finally she hollers at the guy, who gets out
and comes back to where she is.
Embarrassment fades to..need.
There was simply no way to get her unstuck.

Then enlightenment.
He pees on her bum to detach it from
the trunk lid.

It worked.
Worst date ever though :-)

Oh, I see...Thanks ShannonMarie

Maybe because I'm not a football enthusiast - although I did have a crush on Joe Montana and use to watch a lot of the 49ers games... but doesn't replay mean that it's not a live game? Or doesn’t that matter if it’s the last game of the season?

I'm thinking it could be both.

Unless they deal with their own insecurity, it is a recipe for disaster...

I don't think there is anything you can say .

Rose Quartz meaning is about love.... as it is a stone that epitomizes the vibration of love.

Rose Quartz is also a stone whose powerful love will resonate to the whole body and heal all chakras.

This has a powerful effect to aid your emotional healing... and helps heal relationship problems.

The presence of this lovely pink love stone will send a soothing vibration throughout the room where it is located. (I use it by laying it directly on the heart and resting for a few minutes to heal the heart)

It will bestow a peaceful and calming sensation that can assist in healing of the heart... by dissolving anger and resentment. This may be why this stone is symbolic of the energy of love, peace and calming energy.

As all quartz crystals are profound amplifiers of energy, this stone will resonate out the love energy into its surrounds. Not only will it assist you with healing yourself but its energy may bring faith and hope to all in the vicinity.
