| Introduce Yourself Here. Posted: 11/24/2007 6:34:27 AM | Hello all!
My name is Paul and I picked the name Teddybear as I have been this many times being the big, tall guy that I am that does not follow the stereotypes. I am from the very northeast corner of the state in the luscious mountains and would love to hear from anyone who would like to ask questions or get to know a 6'5, green eyes Teddybear. Or just let me know what you think of this.... just a short one I wrote, there are more, longer serious ones.
The Game
Faith in yourself Confidence in your abilities Love who you are Accept the challenge before you and spit in its eye Then say with a grin “That all you got?” Success doesn’t require brains or looks that dazzle It does, however, require a steady, unwavering poker face And all I have to say to that is this… Deal me in.

| Hi, I'm Robin... AKA Ladyrock...AKA the Oneevildreamer Posted: 1/20/2008 4:42:59 PM | Born in Boston Mass. and raised in Altoona! I have a hard time getting lost in this town!.. I seriously don't dream evil, but everything and anybody that I had thought to be as a "good thing" has always turned out to be heartbreaking, which feels to me as though evil has wrapped itself around and said dream of me. I have been single for awhile now and just hoping that in time, I will find what it is that I have been looking for all my life....until then, all I can say is Live Loud, Love Quietly, and Die Happy!  | |

| Introduce Yourself Here. Posted: 1/23/2008 3:44:21 PM | Hi my name is Maureen, I'm 51, divorced after being separated for 3 years (even got my maiden name back as an extra ), 5ft 5in tall, chin lenght auburn hair, hazel eyes that turn turqoise when I'm tired, witty humour, outgoing personality, average build, cute infectious smile. I'm learning to live my life and find out what makes Maureen tick and having fun doing it. Here to make friends and who knows what could happen from there. | |

| Introduce Yourself Here. Posted: 1/27/2008 11:32:04 AM | Nice to meet you Maureen.
Some friendly advice from someone that was divorced after being with her for a total of nine years and that was nine years ago...
It is tough getting back out there, take your time and try to keep a light heart.
Don't expect that the next few guys you meet are going to be worth your time because more likely than not, they wont be...
Nothing will bring you down more than having great expectations for someone you find attractive only to find out they don't fit the bill.
You have to make sure your emotions don't wag your logic but more so the other way around.
Try to keep your expectations light and just have fun...
If you feel your overly happy or manic about a potential partner talk yourself down logically.
This is not easy because you don't want to put up barriers to what could be a great relationship but you want to keep your emotions based on reality not on high hopes..
It is a balancing act at first.
Pretty much everyone that was divorced went though it.
I'm assuming you were probably married for a good 20-30 years.
Three years is probably just the first hump for you then.
Typically it is about a 1:3 ratio to get back on track. in your case, based on my assumption you're probably at the point that dating would be / is productive to you now. Good for you.
Just keep reasonable expectations.
This is sort of like telling a 18 year old that the girl that just dumped him isn't the end of the world.. You remember that feeling...
When everyone that was older than you told you stuff about love an you just ignored them, cause love was a new experience and what the heck does dad or mom know about love anyway :)..
Here's where you have an advantage, you now know they were right :) I'm right too.
Keep it in check or you're going to find yourself feeling pretty crappy when/if things don't work out and you're going to end up finding someone that really fits the bill!
Yes! I promise, if you keep this is mind and you keep yourself aware of the men around you that you come into contact with that you will eventually run across some single man that will/would make you happy.
If you take your time you'll find someone worth the effort that fits just right with the minimum amount of frustration.
It took me two years after my divorce before I found someone worth the time again, that lasted six years and I didn't regret it and yes I had my expectations set too high for the first few women I dated which set me back months on my progress I made after the divorce.
Since I lived through that when my last (long term) relationship ended I've kept my expectations very reasonable and have avoided major set backs without putting up barriers to new opportunities to dating women, which is something you have to be careful of too.
This is good solid advice and I hope you heed it.
Even though it was over 7 years ago, I remember what that disappointment feels like and I hope you can skip that or keep it to a minimal..
Good luck in your fishing and KEEP YOUR STANDARDS HIGH!!!
Don't settle!!!
Have fun!!
AND....
Smile Often, even when you don't feel like doing so :)... | |

| Hi Everyone! Posted: 1/27/2008 8:05:04 PM | I'm Daria, have been on POF for a little while ~ I live in the Hanover area. Been happily divorced for 5 yrs now. I'm not from PA - have moved around a bit being a military brat and married into the Air Force. Love to travel and photography.
Looking to make some friends and more if it's meant to be.
Oh I enjoy fishing!!  | |

| not new here! Posted: 1/28/2008 7:53:01 PM | @marnilla, there is a thread about younger men contacting older woman here in the pa forums...check it out if you like.
now to me....i'm having my 2nd chance at life, finding out who my friends are as well as who i am. not to cause any problems in here i just wanted to say thank you to those whom have talked to a good friend of mine. with her and a few people from in here in pof they helped me keep a smile on my face. now that i'm back, i'm watching where i step and only posting accordingly and not flame or bash anyone since that's a no-no in here. some people i know may be reading this and i'm deeply sorry for any problems i have caused. i'm now living a new life, it's not a really good life (some of you may already know what's going on with me) but i'm still alive. i've had the opportunity to meet a few people in person, talk on the phone, talk in instant message and exchange emails. i would like to continue talking to new friends and old friends. over the past few months i've had the time to realize that my problem may be with me for the rest of my life. i may have my problem for the rest of my life and would like to keep friends for the rest of my life as well.
i'm in here to hopefully find love lost and to be able to feel that love once again. please, if anyone is going to psycho analyze me then please do it in private since that's the way i'd much rather prefer things.
happy fishing y'all  | |

| not new here! Posted: 1/29/2008 5:31:16 PM | :( I hope I didn't offend you with any of my other posts.. I'm not analyzing you at all. Well, I hope i'm not, and I hope it isn't being interpreted as such.. I'm just sharing my experiences.. I don't know you enough to and I don't have the skill set to do so.
It takes a while to adjust, you're life is going to be wonderful, patience..
It might SEEM crappy now but this too chall pass. :) | |
