How much time do you have to exercise this fling of yours? 24/7 or maybe, only when you're feeling desparate and horny.:banana:
After a lovely evening with this special someone, do you escort them to their car or just show them to the door?:angry: Obviously, we sometimes think our image is more important and would rather not publish our involvement with the entire community by kissing as you both stand there next to the car door.
I myself, I can't allow anyone to invade my private morning rituals. I do better getting out of the bed by myself. I don't need no company.noway grumble The majority of time, I need a few seconds to look around, see where I am and ask myself, how did I get here?noway However, I do feel I can learn to love someone again 24/7,drinks but that is something that will take some time.
How much downtime do you have for your mate? 24/7 or living for the weekend?:banana:

Im not desperate because Im pretty happy with my life these days in particular. I dont think it would matter tho if I was horny either.

Like you, I enjoy the quiet and peace of the morning to myself, not that company would make me crabby, but it is a great time of day for me.

I like manners and hope I reciprocate them adequately. I hope theres at least a peck on a first date just to break the ice, and Ive volunteered them on first dates.

Ive never been in the position of wondering how I got here because I had to fight hard to get here, after a difficult marriage. My singlehood/freedom is extremely valuable to me. I will be more careful giving it up if theres a next time. I am loving in general and freely have those feelings easily.

Downtime is difficult to quantify. I expect during the week there would be some kind of contact and hope that the weekend would hold some sort of actual plans of togetherness.


It's good to know others are thinking along the same lines we are.glasses

I need my ME time whether I'm dating or not. But if I'm into him, I would suspect I should like spending time with him.

I don't know what you mean by "fling", don't imagine I would do a "fling". If I'm in a relationship, they are not likely to be shown the door unless they do something pretty offensive. :laughing:


Public displays don't bother me and I think it's about time I gave my neighbors something to talk about. tongue2

That's quite understandable. You're doing just fine. Usually, when we find ourselves getting involved, our world tends to change a bit. Doesn't it feel great to be free????:banana:

I will be honest that I have no downtime. I own a home which occupies me 24/7 as I am renovating as well as landscaping. In the winter; I teach music to cadets and have decided to go back to night school, so no time for anyone as I barely have time to eat or sleep.

Actually, I've not had time for a relationship in 20 years. slaphead If I don't have time for a relationship, I'm not going to drag someone into one. It's only going to hurt us both when I can't give him the time and attention he deserves.grumble

Just as I figured!smokin
Most of us just don't have time to fulfill our physical/emotional needs or for that matter, matters of the heart.brokenheart
drinker I guess when you get my age, you try to get around all the humbug and focus on self-development.
In the long run, it'll secure a hardy relationshipflowerforyou based on communicationsrant , intelligencesmokin and status.:angel:
offtopic I have to admit, there is nothing more important in this society. shades Making time to relate to others is my main objective whether it be platonic or otherwise. Been there, done that ...just can't get enough of communicating. drinks I love communicating!!!:banana:
drinks There's nothing more exciting than being confronted with meeting the challenge of accepting differences, engaging with diversity of thought and culture as they motivate, encourage us to exercise volition and prepare our physical and emotional awareness to even higher, greater heights.drinker

I've got plenty of spare time and although I'm quite a private person, if a girlfriend calls me and wants to come over that's usually fine and I don't tell her that she has to leave at a certain time or call her a taxi after I've had my way with her. I like to walk a lady home, or at least to the bus stop. I like to think that I know how to treat a lady and I try to make them feel comfortable when they are in my home.

I did have a relationship that was very intense though and she was very demanding. That wasn't so great and she got angry with me when I said that I wanted a day off and some time to myself but I had to put up with her telling me when she couldn't be bothered and it all being on her terms.
