I have lived for a long time responsible for no one, answering to no one and committed to no one except myself. During this period of my life, I considered the World mine for the taking and truly believed that I was living life to the fullest.

May I make an observation and a suggestion?

I've been divorced for 10 years. I'm, also, 67 years old. During this 10 years I've met for coffee with a number a women and dated 3. Women accuse men of only wanting sex. One the other hand women seem to meet because the immediate goal is marriage.

I'm not saying marriage is bad but when that is the chief priority men will disappear on you ladies. Just like women disappear when they find out men only want sex. I'm at the point where I have refrained from asking anyone out because the conversation within a few dates turns to marriage.

Men should stop pushing early sex and women should stop pushing marriage early.

I agree it's hard when a women and a man both have different agendas in mind. Try being friends first it might suprise you what you find.

It's when you stop the pressures, that the real magic actually happens. I'm luck to have found some good friends by removing the pressure from the equation. Friends that have become very near and fear to my heart. They know who they are so no names will be mentioned.

When I see a profile that says looking for marriage, I run away to where it is safe!! I don't know if I have enough years to live yet to get so I know someone well enough that I would consider it. Would take at least 10 years and probably more!!

Okay?
So, what is it that you are looking for in creating this thread?
Using the "past tense" in your OP I figure someone you are currently seeing is pressuring you to abandon something that means a lot to you?

Part of being in a relationship is adjusting your lifestyle to accommodate another. If you're not willing to or resent adjusting your lifestyle to accommodate another why the hell are you even dating?

You also imply that for a long time you lived to your heart's desires.
If it was so good, why did you screw it up by entering into a relationship?

Are you sure you even know what you're doing? What you want?

Here, maybe this will help.
I entered into a relationship and I know that there will be certain things that I will need to adjust in my life to accommodate the relationship because the relationship is more than just me.
I understand that some things will not be completely in my favor at all times but sharing myself with someone else opens me to new things in life that I, myself did not have.
Plus, the things that I change to accommodate her provides her with a different quality of life as well.
As an individual, I have to change some things in my life but she has to change some things in her life too. Together, we become something new that is greater than each of us individually. To me. that is worth the changes I must sacrifice to be with her.

See, a lot of people seem to think that a relationship is one sided. That its all about what YOU have to give up, what YOU have to change.
The reality is, BOTH of you change to accommodate the relationship and BOTH of you become something new as a result.

The TRICK is to figure out what to change and what to keep the same that gives BOTH of you the highest benefit. This is because BOTH of you are in the same relationship together.

So true and the source of what adversely affects many relationships later in life. We get comfortable with our own lifestyle and expect to find someone who will fit in without us changing much; they probably feel the same way! End result is no relationship for either of us.

Great idea, now convince your female friends it is ok to just go out with a "friend" and have fun. Once upon a time, long, long ago it was called casual dating. Women won't do that anymore. They want to serial date to try and find their next husband!!

I would like say now that I'm old I remember when......but I can't remember anything anymore. I wish I could remember if it's good that I can't remember when or if it's bad that I can't remember when. Now what was the topic of this thread? I can't remember. frustrated
