The stigma of online dating...
Posted:
7/30/2008 11:05:42 AM
OP - In this day and age, on-line dating IS the new tradition! :) As long as you are actually meeting people IRL, and not choosing to hide behind your computer screen for an indefinite period of time, I would think most people wouldn't give a flying fig where you happened to meet your S/O.
BTW...I am a PoF Success Story...going on two years now. And proud to tell anyone who will listen! :D

Where do you choose to met others?
Posted:
7/30/2008 10:52:27 AM
I actually met my S/O right here on PoF. We have been together for nearly 2 years now. :)
I really prefer on-line dating to the traditional type. As long as both parties are being honest, I feel you can get to know someone on a much deeper level this way. *shrugs*

Are there any men capable of showing the care?
Posted:
1/14/2007 10:16:28 AM
Or is it a characteristic of all men to not want to show a woman that they value them, or that they matter.
From this statement, it sounds like he was acting that way BEFORE the two of you split up. I don 't see how you can state that you were a good team in all others ways, if this was the case. If he didn't care BEFORE you started SEEING problems (there were there already, trust me), then why would you expect him to show emotion once the relationship was over? Sounds like the relationship was doomed from the beginning. *shugs* Eh...JMO.

Go into the search function, and search for people in the new area. Make contact, let them know you are moving to their area, and want to meet people. Then, when you do move, you can change your profile.

DATING A WIDOW
Posted:
11/22/2006 11:01:52 AM
You definitely need to let her set the pace. Losing your husband is very hard. Letting someone else in who could die too is even harder (yes, I am a widow as well).
She still wants to see you, that is a good thing. If you are honestly pursuing her for LT, then BACK OFF. Do NOT initiate intimacy (even a kiss). Having been in that situation, I would have liked to hear that he DID care, but was willing to not rush things until I felt ready to be in a relationship again. It is very scary to open your heart up to someone. And that fear is much more intense when you are trying to move on after the death of a spouse.
If you truly care for her, you do need to let her set the pace. Just make sure she knows where you stand, and what you eventually want. But do not push the physical.

so here is the big question
Posted:
11/16/2006 12:35:10 PM
Okay, in the OP, you state that she being a stay-at-home mom is a decision you BOTH have made.....With that in mind....no way in HELL would I feel obligated to do what the man wishes.
Now....if all of a sudden...I made the choice, on my own, to stay at home....then I believe you would be making some valid points here.
Since that it not the case....since you decided as a COUPLE that she would not work outside of the home, you have no right whatsoever to b*tch when she takes advantage. You have enabled her from the start....can't change things now. *shrugs*

Jokes Guaranteed To Offend Someone
Posted:
11/11/2006 11:08:02 AM
So there are these two guys fishing, and as is usually the case; the talk turns to women...
Guy #1: 'Man, I am getting nowhere sexually with my woman, got any ideas?'
Guy #2: 'Have you tried f*cking her up the ass?'
Guy #1: 'Can't. She has diarrhea.'
Guy #2: 'What about regular sex?'
Guy #1: 'Nope. Gonorrhea.'
Guy #2: 'Wow. How about having her give you a BJ?'
Guy #1: 'She has pyorrhea.'
Guy #2: 'Man! This woman is worthless! What the Hell are you doing with her?'
Guy #1: 'Well, she has worms...and you know how I love to fish.'

Are you talking about someone who, in essence, is A-sexual? GAWD no. Could not be in any sort of relationship with a man like that. But from perusing these forums...I have noticed that there are women (and men) in this fine world who would have no problem with that sort of thing. *shrugs*

Bizarre situation... ex as a roomie but wants me in the future???
Posted:
11/11/2006 9:47:27 AM
OP--
You stated yourself that he was not satisfying you emotionally. Why do you think that keeping him around is going to change that?
Even if he is paying ALL the bills, this is not a valid reason to 'keep him around'. I believe you are doing a disservice to not only him, but yourself as well. He is stating that 'life' in essence, is keeping him too busy. Sounds like a cop-out to me. If he truly wanted to be there for you...he would be. Period. Him stating that he 'wants you in his future' sounds to me like 'he wants you in his bed' when it is convenient for him. The emotional connection is never going to be there. You need to face that.
Post an ad on roommates.com and move on...without him.

Posted:
11/11/2006 8:29:04 AM
There are very few for me because I do have a regular partner that is great... and we date eachother as well as other people.
Okay...so you have a regular partner...but are on a dating site? Hhmmm....do these men you meet know this? If I were them, I would be thinking I was 'gonna git some' as well.
AND.....if you have a regular partner...then it would stand to reason that any other man you have sex with is going to, in fact, be a one night stand.

Dating someone not very intelligent
Posted:
11/10/2006 2:12:20 PM
@arealangel: LOL you all seem to misunderstand. Nothing interested her, not even TV shows, movies, shopping, etc. Any comment I made, ie. this is nice soup or I suipport pedophiles, she'd smile sweetly, nod and not say anything.
I still do not see anything you have posted that shows a lack of intelligence on her part. Boring? Possibly. Disinterested? Maybe. Unintelligent? Uh, no.

Dating someone not very intelligent
Posted:
11/10/2006 1:26:47 PM
Hhmmm.....JMO, but not one thing you mentioned shows a lack of intelligence in a person...
1) Didn't get your jokes...Uuhhh, maybe she did not find the humor in them?
2) Current events...Hhmmm, single mom...Oh yeah, I am sure she had all SORTS of time to sit and read a newspaper or watch the news.
3) Politics....see #2.
4) Religion...Sheesh, you only dated a month! Religion is one of those subjects that MANY people do not like discussing, even with those they have known for YEARS.
If anything, it sounds like she had a bit of a submissive personality; or possibly, she just didn't share the same interests as you. This does not make her unintelligent, it makes her an INDIVIDUAL.

Okay, so I am not a guy, and I might be going out on a limb here.....But my guess would be that the reason they are not dating you has nothing to do with the fact that you have children...It just might be because you are STILL MARRIED.

Ugly VS Beautiful Threesomes .
Posted:
11/9/2006 11:48:21 AM
I have to agree with Sass on this one. Definitely would have to be someone that I am attracted to, as well as my partner. In a perfect world, we would choose this 'plaything' together. As far as what she looked like....I like boobs, so she would have to have a nice pair. And although I would prefer that she not be BETTER looking than me, I would want her to be someone that I wasn't doing the 'coyote ugly' thing the next morning (assuming we let her stay). Body type is really not an issue for me, as my main attraction criteria are mental.

what is the common mistakes men make with women?
Posted:
11/9/2006 9:48:21 AM
**Calling us babes, broads, chicks, or something even more repulsive? Always call a woman by her name.
**Eyeing other women in the bar, nightclub, or restaurant. Don't even think for a minute that we won't notice.
**Coming on all hot & horny and all you can focus on is jumping my bones and pawing at my body.
**Looking at my boobs rather than in my eyes when we are talking.
**Bragging about what a 'wonderful' lover you are. We will SO not be impressed! *L*

Women and taking a Married Name in the 21st Century
Posted:
11/8/2006 9:39:45 AM
It would have been relatively simple to locate my long lost friend if she had retained her maiden name.
I understand what you are saying...but I just don't get it. Probably because I have a father who will tell anyone who will listen where I am, what I am doing, what is going on in my love life...etcetera. All the people I grew up with know they can go visit my Dad if they want the current play-by-play of my life. *L* *shrugs* I guess, over the years, I have taken advantage of that. *smiles*

seeking advice

after a while he became very controlling he don’t want me to speak my own language with my family and friends on the phone, In front of him and don’t want me to mingle with my fellow citizen.
There are just so many red flags to choose from, but the above? OMG girl. This is the start of an abusive relationship. The controlling behavior will not only continue, but it will escalade until you are so far ground into the dirt, you will never be able to see the light of day again.
Sell the engagement ring, buy some Jimmy Choo's and MOVE ON. If not for yourself, then for your children.
You think my boyfriend still love me?
Nope. He does not. Doesn't look like he ever did. He found a 'possession', and he is not willing to let it go. You got him out of your house, now get him out of your LIFE.

Other than the fact that he is not smiling in the mili pic...he does look rather dapper....*smile*
The only thing I see 'wrong' with his profile is that he tends to sugarcoat things a bit.

What's better than smoking?

Smoking is just as much of an 'oral fixation' (Guys? Shush! *L*) as it is an addiction. Try sucking on (Guys, again I say 'shush'!) hard candy or lollipops. Gum is good too. Then onto the nicotine patch. Works wonders, actually.

I'd like to move this along? What does that mean?
Posted:
10/28/2006 10:53:06 AM
I would say that really depends upon how long you have been corresponding when they make that statement. If it is within the first coupla e-mails....definite 'red flag' material. But if you have been corresponding for a bit, and THEY feel they are ready to take it to the 'next level', then why not?
Unless there is a valid reason for you to not 'move it along'...IE: They live in Antarctica....it is completely understandable that they want to meet. (that is my interpretation of what you posted, if I am incorrect, lemme know! :) )

A couple questions about women?
Posted:
10/28/2006 9:01:05 AM
#1 why do you date guys who disrespect you, or act like they don't care?
Because in the beginning, they are so charming....by the time we realize what sh*theads they are, we are so invested emotionally; it is hard to break away.
#2 why are women so quick to rebound after a break-up?
I, personally have never been one to rebound. Not fair to the 'new guy', not fair to me.
#3 what should a guy do to make a good impression on you? ( i know this varies )
First off, have a genuine sense of humor. Don't just hear what I am saying, actually listen. Look me square in the eyes. Be attentive, but not 'clingy'.
#4 why are a lot of women flaky or inconsistent in keeping their word?
Eh, it's a chick thing. Ingrained in our DNA. *shrugs*
#4 and finally........ what the hell do us guys have to do to show you that we really care, other than monetarily?
See #3.
BTW...Why are there two number 4's? ;)

Boys and their mommas
Posted:
10/27/2006 7:24:30 PM
My problem is when mother dominates his life and makes choices on his behalf. Before we moved in together she didn't want him to move in with me and tried to convince us both that it was a bad idea, but now she is happy that he's out of the house, though she likes to see him often. He even tells me that I am like that daughter she always wanted and we both visit her frequently. The problem is that I am not her 'daughter' in that sense and my boyfriend is not my brother, and we need time to ourselves to be a couple. I don't think that it was very respectful of our relationship to cancel our plans for this, especially when we don't get that much 'couple time' as it is, and I explained that to him. However, he's there right now, and she asked him to sleep over there tonight too...
NOW...if your OP had mentioned all of this? My original response would have been quite different. I do agree with Yahh ROO in what he stated....BUT....spending the night? Sheesh. That is taking it a bit too far. I think what you need to do is find a way to get 'Mom' some hobbies...a BF of her own...something. Otherwise, you may NEVER get couple time with him. *sigh* If she is pulling this now, and he is allowing it? Unfortunately, with time, it will only get worse.

It is quit possible that they are not sitting in front of their computer every second of the day. Some people actually have lives away from the 'net, and aren't checking their PoF e-mail all the time.
How long has it been since you sent your message? Give 'em a little time.
EDIT:
I have been known to not read or reply to mails for a few weeks. *shrugs* Sometimes life just gets in the way.
I wouldn't sweat it. Especially since they made first contact.
EDIT EDIT:
Who are these people, and where can I meet them...
*rofl* Out there. *pointing*

I just call him 'my man'...or 'my fella'....Never did like the terms boyfriend or girlfriend...even when I WAS a girl. *L*

We've been living together now since the start of July, and since then we've gone over every weekend whether that's Saturday AND Sunday or just Sunday, for visits, to socialize, to chat, etc. I never said that I don't want a relationship with her. What I DO want is a relationship where I can have a weekend with her son that doesn't include a romantic dinner with my man and his mommy.
Are you two the same age? I ask, because if you are...I am guessing that she just isn't quite ready to 'let go' of him yet.
Ovbiously you love each other, or you would not be living together. Maybe discuss with him that you would like the weekends to be for the two of you. Also, is he an only child? Possibly the only one whom she HAS that will do these things for her? OR...ask if he can cut back on 'Mom time'. Maybe every other weekend...or even an evening during the week. If you want to stay with him (and it sounds like you do), I think the two of you need to sit down and figure out a way to make it work. They is definitely room for the both of you in his life.
message 7... response
It is not about accepting Mom, it is that she felt slighted, which means she is bothered by it which means, she should move on......IMO
A man who puts his Momma first will always put Momma first, and that is a problem for some people. OP is obviously one of them.
Putting Mom first is not always a bad thing, but sometimes the girlfriend has to come first.
I don't think that moving on is the answer. She is young, which more than likely means the guy is as well. They live together...it isn't just BF/GF. If they are that serious...why would you tell her to just leave over something that CAN be worked out?
EDIT:
OP--Regarding your last post. Uuhhh...WOW. Okay...I have been in that exact same situation. She seems to be trying to get YOU to show your b*tchy side so she can be the martyr in the eyes of her son. Do not let her do it! Kindly agree (and you will be the patient, sweet girl in HIS eyes)....Hell, go out during the day on Sunday...up to the mountains with a picnic or something...

I hate to say it...but Momma comes first.
If you expect to have an actual relationship with this guy, you are going to have to accept his relationship with his Mother. If you ever want a relationship with HER, you are going to have to accept it. And b*tching about his son doing things for her is NEVER going to get you into her good graces.
I could understand your complaints if it were an 'ex'...but his Mother? The woman who gave him life? Come on! Grow up!

This is where you turn the question back on him...."I dunno....did you miss ME"?
