| Adult children introducing you to potential dates?
Posted: 9/3/2009 6:30:20 PM | Well, guys.....you revived an old thread.
So, I'm gonna update 'cha.
About a month and a half after I posted that, I decided to put my house up for sale and move 900 miles south, to Florida. Due to a few reasons, plus, they don't call it the Sunshine State for nothin'.
Between the time of this thread and the Lexington, KY thing and deciding to relocate, I didn't make it to Kentucky for that.
I sold the house and just so happens I arrived here in Florida less than a week ago.
I'm more than happy with my decision. I'm still settling in here though. I don't know anyone who's NOT family really but I don't have any trouble making friends or talking to people. I have my profile hidden for the time being though since I still have details to take care of getting settled in. And oh, yeah.........I don't know my way around too well. But I'll learn.  | |

I'd say you probably have a very good adult relationship with your daughter. Which is why she sees you not only as her mother, but also as another adult. Without any parent/child issues she just wants to see you happy.
Go and have fun! | |

We do have a good relationship and that's just what she said, "I just want you to be happy where ever you are." She's 28 now. | |

Have any of you had your ADULT children fix you up on a date? Or introduce you to someone whom they think you might like and they might like you? What was/is your experience with this?
Nope never had my children fix me up. They figure if I want to date I will? However given there are not many prospects in your area I think it is a good idea.
By the way I love being in Lexington, Kentucky always have a good time when there.
Good luck

Posted: 9/4/2009 5:28:51 PM | Adult children, thinking they are adults. In the past few years I have been on the receiving end of much advice and prompting from my daughters, late 20's and early 30's.
They live on the opposite side of the country, and we visit at least a few times during the year. Without fail when I go there, one of them has someone I absolutely have to meet. Nothings clicked yet, but for them, hope springs eternal. | |

My children are scattered between thither and yon, so I rarely get to see them. So far they haven't tried to "fix me up" with anyone.
BTW hrlyguy...does that name refer to Harley riding or playing Irish Hurley....very different activities!!!!! | |

...So would thither and yon be anywhere near the Canadian border?
A couple of years ago my friends took me out for Birthday drinks and I happened to meet a very nice gentleman that night.... I think my son tried harder than I did to fix me up with him haha....Unfortunately he was from out of town so I knew things would not progress any further. But it was cute.

Posted: 9/8/2009 2:22:41 PM | | Not really....I am on the conservative side when it comes to choosing a date, and the males my daughter would come into contact with would just not like me, nor would I care for them.... | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 4:03:47 PM | I'm all for it. In fact, I'm printing off this entire thread to show both my kids that they are severely dropping the ball.
It's about time I got a return on my investment. I singlehandedly raised them, in fact until my youngest reached the age of 16, they thought I was celibate (I just did my dating out of sight and out of the house. I'd tell them I was going to "see some friends")
My kids know my taste in women. Know my likes and dislikes too. I figure if they DO introduce me to someone, the cat(their perceptions of my quirks) will certainly be out of the proverbial bag.
I'm ready! | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 4:41:08 PM | My adult children are definitely not on the ball.........I've been widowed almost 9 yrs. Three yrs. ago I announced that I thought I was ready to date and had joined this site. The response was one of mixed reviews. My eldest son maintains that men on the internet are a bunch of losers and to be careful. I'm waiting for "one man" to prove him wrong. (He always was a "bit of a know-it-all". ) The other two are so wrapped up in their own lives, they spend little time thinking about mine.
I think they see me as a "sexless" creature.........
Quite frankly, I've never interfered with their love relationships/marriages........and I prefer they leave me to my own demise. | |

Now that's funny 1kindman.......
I know what you mean.
I did my dating "out of sight" when she was still living at home. | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 11:08:30 AM | None of my kids try to set me up. It's my niece that has taken that on!
She recently bought a house and has been fixing it up. Sends me a text or calls, "you really need to meet this guy! He's so cute!" hahaha
I take it as a compliment. She wants her auntie to be happy (and didn't like the last guy I dated). Maybe its just cuz she wants me to move back to SLC.....who knows.  | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 1:34:45 PM | Thanks. Nice to be recognized for being funny. One of my goals is to do standup. I have two complete routines already. One of them is about dating on the internet. I want to thank ALL of you in advance for providing me such humorous material.
My kids think I'm funny or something like that. I heard them the other day saying...
Dad is such a joke.
I walked in the room and said thank you. | |

...You could probably write a book based upon the funny and not so funny tales relayed right here on PoF. I know I keep my co-workers and friends entertained with all my "cyber love stories"

Posted: 9/9/2009 4:51:59 PM | | I actually had someone's adult Daughter contact me yesterday. I loved it she wanted her Father to date.......she said she wanted to get him jump started. She was a lovely woman. But I want her Father to ask me.......Why? Because I don't want to be forced on someone that isn't ready to date. She had beautiful wonderful intentions. I could tell she loved her Father so much and only wanted to help him get out. In fact she was a true sweetie. But her Father has to be willing. I told her that whenever he contacted me then I would be available. Not until then. It would be a weird awkward thing to go out with someone that isn't ready. | |

Posted: 9/10/2009 10:40:33 AM | Blueyes...maybe he's waiting for YOU to make a move. We talk about it all the time here in the forums. Who makes the first move? If she's mentioned her father to you, she's probably already mentioned you to her father.
I, for one, would be tickled to death if a good looking woman asked me out. | |
