You're damn right I won't get married! And you people really need to think about the words you spew. "Why should it bother you what other people do? It doesn't effect you." *Affect Oh, so I sohuldn't have a problem with child molesters and addicts? Alright, then.

to do?


And you cannot answer SEX or anything else associated to sex! This is a more "substancial" topic.

Shame on you for thinking about using that answer!


I love to make/build new things! One of my biggest passions is for restoration of classic and vintage anything, especially bicycles! As soon as I can money up for it I want to build a second gas powered bike based on my first one but with changes to hopefully give me mountain goat hill climbing and speeds as close to 50MPH as 2 Horse Power can get me! Gears and wheels! Now if I could make it fly?

hey navygirl i just wanted to say i totaly 200% can relate with you. ive been there thats why i talk about god so much, he brought me thru all

Well; right off my parents sucked and should never have been parents. They did nothing to encourage me, keep me safe, showed me any love or compassion, took an interest in me or my interests, or help me prepare for life; etc. Well, you get the picture. I have found my siblings to be a source of strength when I am down. They have seen the way men treat me in a relationship and they are always there for me even when my so called partner isn't.

I feel ya! Me too. There's so many creepers out there!

I think you said it just fine, msharmony But thanks!

Perhaps we need to bring back dating guidelines?
1st date - public place, 2-3 hours maximum (leave em wanting more)
2nd date - public place, a few hours, maybe with mutual friends.
3rd date - holding hands and perhaps a goodbye kiss.
4th date - excited to see if that kiss holds it's promise.


Three dates should take a minimum of three weeks to occur with one phone call in between for a short chat and to confirm date 2and 3 plans. Overly simple maybe (what do I know - not having had a date in a few years) but dating is a process that should be enjoyed and leave both people an easy way to say 'thanks but no thanks'.

Since my husband died I have dated a little only to get the 'bums rush' each time. I am not rich, overly beautiful or easy, don't think I give off signs off wanting an instant roomie... Why the rush? It screams to me of neediness, desperateness, traits I do not find attractive and which send me home alone shaking my head about how grown supposedly mature men (people, I am sure this happens the other way around too) can get a simple date so wrong.

Dating means to me the casual getting together with someone of interest to see if they are still of interest after the date - goes both ways of course. It means the chance to spend some time talking, sharing a meal etc as a way to begin to get to know each other. Dating is what we do to learn if a relationship is possible and desired. Dating does not mean we are not seeing anyone else, does not mean LOVE and or that sex is rightfully expected. I think dating is a mostly lost art but would love to be proved wrong.
