divorced
I love kids
got a few of my own

just not sure I wanna take on
someone with young ones


Well, of course you don't want more young ones, you don't seem quite clear on how many of your own you have. Refresh my memory, exactly how many is a few? :-)

There's never a checkbox / option for people that come out of a LTR, but weren't married.
To me that's 'separated', because you're not together anymore, and you weren't married, so you're not 'divorced'.

Many Dutch websites DO have the option that translates into "Split up".
Saying you're single when your in you're 40+ sounds kinda weird. Like you're some wallflower who could never land a partner.
If a man says he's single on a Dutch website with the option to choose for 'split up' or 'divorced' I avoid them. They usually have never been in a real relationship, are players, or not able to commit.

The US options had me confused at first, cos I AM separated --> I left my partner whom I never married. Resulting in Eharmony refusing my membership, saying I wasn't single frustrated

Would be much clearer if there was an option saying "Split up"

I divorced my 1st partner, split up with my 2nd, now I'm single.


so in effect, you're single?
so why have a need for a divorced/seperated category? never understood that to be honest, i mean if you meet someone you would tell them if you had got divorced or seperated recently wouldn't you?

oh it's all confusing lol

Well, like I said, when we in Dutch say someone is single, using the DUtch word for that, it usually implies he has never been in a relationship. Just some flings maybe, or the occasional girlfriend. But never made a real commitment, never been married or in a long term relationship.

I do find it important to know, as such ppl are usually typical. Either unable to commit, or unwilling to commit as they prefer to keep their freedom, or they have some other issue why they never succeeded in a LTR. And often these ppl are very stuck in their single ways. Just not good relationship material.

At least someone who has been in a LTR knows what it entails, that it's give and take, laugh & cry etc etc. So yeah, I find it important to know, and so do most otherwise you wouldn't have these options on dating-sites, would you?
Just some basic background info, that does tell something about someone. Same with widowers. Totally different from divorcees.

So I was bored outta my head and since I lost a special lady in
my life I just wanna help myself to be ok..
and I decided to create this thread..
well its easy, tell us your status

Single?
Married?
Dating?
Divorced?
Single parenthood?
Widowed?
Dating but not serious?
Married but wanna divorce?..
and more

Who knows? Dream guy or girl might be viewing lets make it
fun.


Where is the "Married but she and I are swingers" option? In the last couple years I have met quite a few of these couples. And I always ask them, "How do you explain to your children when "Uncle Rob" or "Aunt Nancy" keep coming over and it's naked time"? laugh

I never do get a response to that question.

ah i see,thanks for the reply,
it's all in the wording of it then?
so again, technically i am divorced then and not single

i supposed i could also be classed as not married and probably not relationship material then as i haven't yet managed to make one stick!

or maybe i just haven't found "the one" yet laugh

LTR and "the one" sounds medical.

Did you check his LTR?

Yes

And

He had one LTR when he was young and then a relapse a few years latter.

Any sign either was "the one"

No

How old is he now?

51

So there's no hope then?

Not really, no.

OK, pull the plug

I'm divorced, have kids of my own, and I have a good relationship with my ex (but not *that* good or else we'd still be together I guess).

I'm looking, haven't dated since I was separated, but I don't want to just tumble into the first relationship. I'd like to date first then go from there.
