Posted: 9/8/2006 5:13:09 PM | Sooner or later, most men and woman decide being settled in a one to one realtionship is what they really want, till they hit that time, all seem to enjoy not being attached. When that is, is up to the person, and of course there are those who do not ever want that one to one realtionship, for what ever their reason may be. If, that person is one you get involved with, then, no good to try to change their way of thinking, and just say your goodbyes, and move on. Do, not forget, " Yes " there are those out there who want a one to one relationship, while you are shopping around yourself. | |

Posted: 9/18/2006 7:44:31 PM | yes women do think about serious relationships its jus when u find one they can feel u out like a man could in the beginnin with lies, and bullshit. Its weird when u find the ones who want a relationship and doesnt live up to it their selves like they say its easier said then done. I wonder if that suppose to be a front for the womens to throw them off from his lies. Its not hard to spot a phoney thats tryin to play games in the beginning but then when he start fallen for her its a problem because now she dont trust him. guess wat a person brings it on them selves u dont have to do alot of talkin for epectations of one another you can see it n your actions to show wat u r about. | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 9/19/2006 1:50:58 AM | | There are still plenty of woman that want somethin real and arent lookin for just a "good time." I personally won't enter a relationship unless i could see myself with them for the rest of my life. Maybe thats the wrong choice, i dunno. But why waste time on men that I kno I won't end up with it?...pointless. So I may be a bit more lonely than the average 18 yr old female, but I pray in time it will pay off. and like message 14 said, you may have to switch up your method on approaching females. | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 9/19/2006 6:02:49 AM | of course there are.
But, one thing i have learned, if you keep going out with the same type of person who is not what you want, ask yourself why you keep doing it? We create our own patterns and maybe it is time to change who you date, what you're looking for, etc. be hard on yourself. I'm currently doing this myself and it isn't easy, but well worth it. | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 9/24/2006 4:55:06 PM | Of course we are out there! I am at that point also, well, have always been, really. I either want a serious relationship (or one that has the possibility of leading to one), or none at all. The casual stuff is just not worth it, nor is it satisfying. Or I would like just a friendship (remember there's a platonic kind, too? Remember when that's what "friends" meant?) LOL
I do think most women over 30 want a serious relationship, but can't always find one suitable.
So look for a woman with character, look beneath the surface. You'll find her!

Most peope go through life looking for that person they can share the good and bad times with. For those people who settle down with the notion that life goes down hill from that they are definitely looking at it in the negative.
I am looking for the one and I choose to date at this time because if gives me the option to hopefully find the one who will give me that happy medium. I prefer that a relationship be built upon and not just settled for. Settling is not an option in my opinion. | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 9/26/2006 6:35:58 PM | Wow,good to know that there are so many women who DO want a serious relationship and are not just looking for a "good time". I tend to meet the women that most guys want the wild crazy ones that don't want a committment. I have been there and done that and now I am ready to settle and I am not looking for a "mommy" for my kids as an earlier poster put it...I can't take care of my kids very good on my own and only have them 6 days every other week,so I still have plenty of time to get to know someone before they even have to meet my kids,Wayne  | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 9/26/2006 6:44:24 PM | There's a time and place for everything including fun and serious.
This is not a time for serious for me.
However I don't know what you mean by "good times", I don't think its a good times time for me either.
This is an in between time for me. Time for ME. LATER will be good times and then serious times .......NO BIG RUSH for it all. | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 9/26/2006 6:46:30 PM | | I too am glad to see women who want a serious relationship. I'm also looking for one with real commitment. Cause I'm ready to give it. Meanwhile I go to dinner occasionally with a few friends who aren't all that serious but are nice to talk to until I do find that woman in my own back yard. I don't let myself be totally out of it, but neither do I get myself into trouble with it. Now why don't some of the women in this thread hop on over here to Washington DC sometime? This area is ripe for the picking. | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 9/29/2006 6:59:31 PM | Not sure about the "age" thing...was more serious when I was 18 than I am now,just trying to figure women out...it is a mystery, isn't it? A hairstylist gave me her cell number today after she cut my hair and was moaning about how she is so tired of being lonely...well,I called her up after I got home and she was very "short" with me and told me that she already had plans tonight and got off the phone rather fast...I told her that it was O.K. because I was just calling her to say "hi" not to ask her out,but it just kills me how one minute she was crying about being so lonely,so I called her to give her a person to talk to and she cut me off really quickly.  | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 9/30/2006 2:11:24 PM | OF course we do, depending on where we are in our lives..As you get older, the importance is more on findind 'the one', but until you do (again, if you have had several serious relationships in your life) we keep dating and seeing what's out there..
Some women im sure are non-committed types possibly for personal reasons (bad relationship, abuse etc..)
In general i think everyone is on the rollercoaster looking for their match in life..until you do, you take it casually and see where it goes..after being in several serious relationships from when i was very young to now, i value more what a relationship gives you..the consistency of companionship, trust, someone to share life with and all those feelings you find on a deeper level with a connected partner who is like your best friend. All the sweet pleasures of life!

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 9/30/2006 11:19:15 PM | | It seems that the men I talk to just want a relationship and no committment just because of what their 'EX' had done to them. I was married twice to the same man (long story) because he said he wanted to try again, then left me for someone else. I went into a deep depression. That being said, I won't let that ruin my future for happiness. I don't want a man to be just a friend or someone to hang out with, (I can go to a bar for that), but someone to love, hold, come home to, and spend the rest of my life with. Maybe the next one will treat and pamper me with love and affection, because my ex sure didnt. | |

Posted: 9/30/2006 11:28:22 PM | | am serious...but seems most arent serious here in my city...they'll get tired of the chase an playing the field...just like we have. i get tired of being the third wheel in most situations ....who doesnt...and coming home to an empty house. i have plenty of friends an associates but not what i really want in my life...i want a companionship to compliment my life...an his as well. | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 12:39:18 AM | The same women you might see dancing and having a good time with their friends in a club on Sat night are the exact same women who might be looking for a serious relationship...don't judge them by what they do for fun once in a while! I love to dance, so why not go to clubs and have a good time if single?? Would it be better if we bought some glasses to perch on the end of our noses to make us look more serious???
I personally would love to become involved in a serious relationship...with the right person...NOT just the first person to come along! People have to be on the same wavelength with each other, and if they are not interested in giving up their personal free time to spend with you, they are definitely not interested.
Good luck with your search...  | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 10/1/2006 1:07:21 AM | [I seem to come across the same thing, "I am not looking for a serious relationship, but yet they want a sexual one...? "Riddle me this?"]
Usually it's we women making this complaint against men. I find it very sad that with all the men and women on here saying they are looking for long term that it is so hard to find each other. | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 10/1/2006 1:30:42 AM | | Women, like men, begin to think about a more serious relationship when they meet the right person. That can take A LOT of time! In the mean time, many people choose to date and see how things go. I only date when I see something very special about the person in the first place and I've come to a place where I can quickly see the qualities I desire... I do not date a lot and I'm not in a hurry to find the right person. | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 10/1/2006 6:08:42 AM | Of course most of us women would like a serious relationship.... But... its like this. Some of us don't know what we are looking for... And so therefore... until we find it, or the chemistry is perfect, than we just keep dating. Having a lasting relationship takes time.... and is built. If when you meet, and date, its not there.... you move on. Some of us would rather just enjoy the moments... rather make another mistake....  | |

| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 10/1/2006 8:04:03 AM | what do u mean by "settle down"? maybe clarify it for the ladies - do u want marriage or simply live together Or do u mean steady dating? or do u have another definition in mind?
and of course since this is the single parents forum - lots of other issues get dragged in too...
And don't we all want a "good time"? I like smiling and enjoying who i am with...
OP it seems vague.... | |
|
| O.K.....On a Serious Note,Do Women Think About Serious Relationships Anymore? Posted: 10/1/2006 4:58:58 PM | | O.K. confuzzled,here is your definition of a "good time"...Having sex on a very casual level without any committment,BUT yet telling the man that your ready for a serious relationship. I personally don't believe in "shacking up" and don't think it is a good example for my kids. I love a good time just like everybody else,but how long do you have a good time and when is it time to settle down? I went to bars from the time I was 19(it was legal then to be 19 and drink) til the time I was 33...got it out of my system,so if I meet a women who still likes hang out in bars like the people on "Cheers",then they are not for me. There are other fun things to do than sit in a bar and "sponge" up alcohol all night! | |
