Am I reading too much into it?
Posted: 3/15/2013 11:39:53 PM
Sounds like she likes you man. Keep it going if you want to. Update the resume too, have her update hers because if you enter into a relationship with someone at work, you won't be working there very long. Unless this woman is in fact the woman of your lifetime, workplace love is always a disaster waiting to happen. If it does turn into something serious, one of you should quit. Remember, it's not just you and her, it's everyone else you work with. You can bet someone will have a problem with it one way or the other. Women, are by nature extremely jealous and know no bounds of restraint if they get it into their heads one of their co-workers is getting special treatment because of a relationship at work whether they're getting special treatment or not. Just the suspicion they even might get special treatment will drive them crazier than a cave full of bats on fire. There is a reason many companies have a policy against inner office relationships. Save lives, don't date your co-worker.

How do you recover and go back to friendship after love?
Posted: 3/15/2013 11:18:27 PM
Never been friends with an ex. Never been friends with a woman for that matter. I know a lot of women I like, but we're not buddies. I know things are changing, but men really don't have women friends, there's just too much sexual tension involved. The really great thing about being old, you get to have women friends because all that will she or won't she is gone. Ain't nobody doin nuttin.

How do I approach ladies that are into ladies?
Posted: 3/15/2013 11:08:00 PM
My experience with people who call themselves bi-sexual really aren't. Maybe they'll have sex with the other gender now and then or even often, but they're only truely fulfilled or can love what they really want. I suppose there are true bi-sexuals, I just know any. If you want a lesbian experience as a sort of trial run, go to a lesbian bar, I'm sure there will be many women there who'll be more than happy to participate in your conversion. Take me with you, I'll run interferance for the mob that will want to help you out.

not sure who to date
Posted: 3/15/2013 10:44:25 PM
Don't fret hipster, no self respecting black woman I ever knew would date you anyway. BTW, you're not really racist if you only date women of your own race. If you go around telling people you won't date people of certain races because you hate them for no other reason than their color, you're a racist. I learned something recently, so few genes in the human genome are devoted to race, they're considered inconsequencial by geneticist and not worth studying. If you like someone and they like you have at it. I wouldn't let race be a determining factor. Love is so rare in this world, treasure it no matter whom it is with. Just stay away from Italian women, now they'll drive you nuts. Just a joke bambinas.

At what point do I tell someone about all my emotional baggage
Posted: 3/15/2013 10:19:34 PM
Sorry to hear of your troubles. Trauma is incredibly difficult for most people to deal with. Professionals who deal with trauma all the time generally develope a real jadded attitude about the whole thing. The rest of us sometimes let it become our lives. It's like everything gets divided to before the event and after the event. Time heals everything my friend. As far as telling someone about your troubles, don't bother unless asked and then be brief. They won't understand now matter how detailed you get, so don't. It's just a date, not a lifetime movie.

The fastest date that you have been on
Posted: 3/14/2013 10:46:06 PM
Picked up a woman for a date once. She got into my car and proceeded to start talking non-stop about her ex, her kids, her job, he dog etc. I took about 2 miles of this, turned around, drove up to her house and told her I changed my mind. She got really angry, spit on my car, tried to throw something at my car and screamed at me as I drove away. My patience level has tailed off to about zero these days.

any one dated a look alike
Posted: 2/8/2013 5:46:50 PM
Everyone said my ex looked like Paula Abdul. I have been told I look like, Tom Hanks, Tom Selleck, Gene Hackman, Victor French and the doritos guy from years ago. I guess it's all in the perception, I don't think I look like any of those guys. When I was a kid, everybody called me Elvis. I used to date a women who did look a lot like Linda Evans.

Red Flags In Emails & Phone Conversation from men
Posted: 2/8/2013 5:32:11 PM
I knew a penthouse pet, never dated her. It was a huge shock to anyone who knew her that penthouse would choose her. Her pics in the magazine didn't look anything like her at all in person. The fact someone tells you he dated a porn model? I guess it depends on the model. For some it's a one shot deal or something they do for money. The woman I knew used it to become a nurse. I think bragging to a woman about women you've dated is a little like wearing gold chains or driving a vette, all show and no blow for the most part from my experience. For those who think I'm just jealous, I can afford a vette and a Harley and the bling. I choose to drive Honda's because they're because they're just better vehicles and don't buy jewelry for myself, I buy as well as make jewelry for women, where it belongs.

Is it too late to be a father at 45 ?
Posted: 12/12/2012 7:52:41 PM
45 is too old for most men to be having children, but there's always the exception, maybe you're it. Raising children will be the most exhausting trial you'll ever undertake hands down, full of frustration, nerve grinding situations, fear, terror you name it, but the payoff is you get grandchildren.

First Date No Connection - How Long Do You Stay?
Posted: 12/12/2012 7:17:46 PM
Oh hell no you need to lead him on, soak for some free food, maybe a ticket to Italy to see your sick cousin. Normally, the lack of spark is a two way street anyway, he probably wants out of there in a hurry as well, unless you're wearing that bikini in your pics, then you won't be able to dive him away with a rocket launcher.

Posted: 12/12/2012 7:10:58 PM
I would do what I always do when I've had a POF rejection, knash my teeth, pull out my hair, flop on the ground, light myself on fire or blow stuff up with my guns. One thing to sit behind a keyboard pretending you're interested, quite another to actually meet.

First dates? (What I hate the most)
Posted: 12/12/2012 7:00:58 PM
Well, I took a first date too see U-571, a submarine movie featuring about 10,000 explosions. I also took my mother to see Alien, so I guess sometimes I just don't get it. Movies are a bad choice for a first date, unless you're both just really into film, don't mind the two hours of sitting still not talking and have the patience to understand you'll have something to talk about over pie and coffee later. I'm surprised anyone goes to see films anymore at all, not texting for two hours is known to cause irreparable brain damage and the cause of many 911 calls from your facebook friends worried about your safety.

Nope, you'd have better luck finding a woman on the moon than this site or any other with all this negativity from you. Women don't really like negative men to date, there's plenty of time for that after the marriage.

Weird POF meet-ups
Posted: 11/29/2012 9:29:14 PM
Met one woman from here who when I told her I was in the Marine Corps said she couldn't go out with anyone who likes to kill people. I believe that had to be the all time dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone say other than Mitt Romney saying he keeps binders full of women.

Sex on the 3rd date?
Posted: 11/29/2012 9:17:38 PM
Well, sometimes sex on the first date is ok, depends on the people involved. Sometimes sex on the 100th date is too soon. I'd say if you're not having sex after about 3 months, it probably won't ever happen. If he's not pretty aggresive about having sex with you, he's probably just not that into you.

Do girls ever regret ending a relationship?
Posted: 11/14/2012 2:19:49 PM
There is usually a pretty good reason why a couple breaks up, over time that reason mat fade in the memory, but it'll usually resurface if you get back together. In this day and age where old girlfriends can find you, I've had more than one say they always regretted things didn't work out. I did get back together with one old girlfriend, we had a great time, but in the end we just drifted apart.

would you Date someone who walked with a limp?
Posted: 11/14/2012 2:12:19 PM
Geez, I hope not. While I don't have a permanent limp, I'm always limping for one reason or another. I wouldn't preclude anyone just because they had a limp, most especially if she looked good in a tight black dress, heels, hoop earings and a black lace choker. Or, a nurses uniform for that matter.

Open Relationship
Posted: 11/14/2012 2:06:19 PM
Sure, they're in an open relationship until one of them decides they're not and you're caught in the middle. More than a few people doing time over "open" relationships and quite few eating a dirt sandwich. Don't get involved with married people on any level other than just being friends, things change, usually very rapidly.

dating without pictures
Posted: 11/14/2012 1:39:26 PM
Woman contacts me, no pics, I take a chance, meet her and she is gorgeous. Turns our she's a bartender and doesn't want her pics spread all over the net, thus inviting every nut in town to drop by the bar. So, there are reasons not to post a pic other than you might be less than what some people perceive as attractive. The bartender knew what she wanted, she got it.

Talking Love/Marriage/Children VERY quickly-who else does this happen to?
Posted: 11/14/2012 1:28:02 PM
So it's have dinner, take a walk, little kissing and he's down on one knee asking for marriage and naming your babies. I do believe I'd have to say, uh, no, nada, I'm out of here, adios, good luck being desparate, insane and an idiot. In retrospect I'd say date for at least 6 m0s., live together for a year and then become engaged for a year, if you survive that, get married. You don't know squat about a person unless you've lived with them. However, in some extremely rare cases it is love at first sight and you just know. Rare being the operative word here.

Frustrating dates
Posted: 11/1/2012 6:56:47 PM
In the first place, don't meet for coffee, meet for a drink, even if you don't drink, make it in a bar, you'll be more relaxed. Nothing like a drink or two to lighten the moment. In the end, the stars must align, the lighting has to be just right, setting and time, moods, life experiances. It's a mystery. Attraction is fickle, god help you when your friends fix you up. Amazing how little your closest friends know you when it comes to what they think is attractive to you. Pay attention to her when she speaks, don't mention any ex's, over dress, under is never good. Watch out for green eyed women, they suck you in and then spit you out, laughing hysterically.

Broken hearted after 2 months lost with out her
Posted: 11/1/2012 6:34:16 PM
Go out with other women, if she has a sister, perfect. Sounds like you've placed this woman on a pedastle. Place yourself on the pedastle. Lay yourself out there, if she doesn't want it, move on. No sense dwelling on the inner thoughts of a woman, we don't have a clue why or how, it's like rebuilding an Indy Car motor from a manual for a lawnmower.

Amazing how many relatively smart people do really stupid things, like lie when there's no reason to. Thing is, this probably isn't the first time he has changed the profile. Doubting he's dangerous or even decietful, in his own mind he's doing nothing wrong. The "issues" probably run strong and deep in this person.

Do these statements mean she is materialistic? Red flag?
Posted: 10/31/2012 2:10:45 PM
Look on the bright side, at least she knows what she wants. She's right about being poor, love usually doesn't survive long. This is 2012, not 1812. Then again, she sounds a little on the demanding side. Go with the flow, see what happens, maybe through her you'll find yourself becoming a bit more ambitious.

natural beauty vs make up
Posted: 9/15/2012 9:47:33 PM
Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, go for it. Some women would rather eat a dog crap sandwich they know is laced with maggots than appear in public sans make-up, some women just don't give a damn what they look like in public or anywhere else.

Never had anyone ask to take my pic on a date from POF, a few did from the old days. A friend of mine told me about a woman we both knew who showed him many pics of me playing softball. She was or is married to a good friend of mine, why she took pics of me playing softball remains a mystery to me.

Once trust/bond is broken, can it be repaired? Help!
Posted: 8/18/2012 10:31:19 PM
The short answer is nope, nada, ain't gonna happen. The pain of failure in your life is just too much to accept for most of us. The relationship is broken, gone when the bond of trust is stomped into a grease spot. From the ashes of what was, may spring something else, it might be beautiful, going to take a tremendous effort, most especially around the time your angelic flower turns into the wicked witch of the east.

Women and Sex
Posted: 8/1/2012 3:19:31 AM
Jennywillwin is one harsh woman, judgmental to a fault. Ever hear of to each his or her own, whatever makes you happy, freedom of choice, all that good stuff in the constitution and Bill of Rights? Get a grip, just because someone chooses to have sex frequently with multiple partners doesn't make them sluts or bad people. Some people just have needs, wants and desires you know nothing about. I get it, you've worked hard to get where you are, have high moral values, a credit to your family and community, deserve all the plaudits you may get. I live by the code, there, but for the grace of god go I. Let he without sin cast the first stone. We're all in this together, no one gets out alive. In the end we all go to the same place regardless of religion, sexual proclivities or social status. You're not going to a "special" place in heaven because you chose the right church, had the great job, raised your children right because there is no "special" place in heaven, it's just heaven.

Sometimes it's best just to leave things as they are, on online status only. I've been in an online relationship going on 12 years now. We refer to each other as online husband and wife. We've never met and probably never will meet, most especially since she's married, lives in France, has two children and is 25 years my junior. She knows more about me than my ex wife ever did. We fill some need in each other I'm not too sure either one of us really understands. She says she is able to stay married only because when things get bad at home, she can always come online with me.

Posted: 7/28/2012 1:10:29 AM
My goodness, look at all the relationship experts you've drawn out of the woodwork. My best advice is to watch "He's just not that into you." Study the Ben Affleck, Jennifer Anniston characters. Marry her Steve! If you search for a thousand years you won't find any better. You don't want to be 60 writing on POF about "the one that got away."

Is there really ever a Mutual Breakup?
Posted: 7/28/2012 12:57:43 AM
When I was young, nope, there was always some precipitating drama @ break up time. Now that I'm old, it's more of a drifting apart, no words are spoken, just the end of communication. I will say that after 20 years of marriage, the divorce was about the only thing we ever did that was "mutual." We parted hating each others guts and do so to this day. Never marry a Sicilian princess nicknamed "Cookie."
