Dating Someone On Welfare
Posted:
9/25/2006 6:57:52 AM
Having worked in Social Services I have to agree to most of what arelangel said. I saw so many single, very young moms. They struggle and kept having babies no matter how much I told them they would still be alone. Our society still has a long way to go making fathers responsible and teaching our girls that having a baby doesn't make you special, anyone can do that, what makes you special is to be able to be a parent to that child/children by supporting them and showing them a good example. I happen to live in Ohio where one of our high schools has made the news because so many of the girls are pregnant! What are we to do? Who so you suppose will take care of these babies. A girl without even a high scholl diploma is certainly not going to be able to so much. Dad? What a joke.
Sorry, that was not your question. If staying home is best for her children, she should do so and not worry about finding a date right now. Not sure how many kids we are talking about, but she doesn't need anymore!

Do you want the world to know what a jerk he is?

I have to agree with EastSide. When relationships end, sometimes they are messy. And I also agree that the situation has a lot to do with the way somebody behaves. As I said before, I think moving on is for the best for everyone concerned. I don't want to be in a relationship with somebody who only is about past bad realtionships. We have all had our hearts broken at one time or another. You cry, you feel bad, then you move on. Maybe I am being insensitive but I have decided not to dwell on the past and I feel much better. Now, if there is some kind of abouse, then you get the law invoved, not the computer police!

I have to agree with calling the police and reporting any violence. He should be in jail if he hurt you. Not only will exposing him on a website be useless, if he is dangerous, it could be deadly! If he has abused you in some way, get him arrested and keep yourself safe.

My opinion on this matter, if anybody cares, is that you need to move on. Relationships are good and bad and just because he is jerky to you, doesn't mean he will be to somebody else. I just think it is a waste of time and energy. Put all that energy into making yourself happy!
Just my 2 cents, if it's worth that much !

OK< a challenge on the weight thing....

I might be interested but I am short and a little too old for you. And live in a different state lol. Seriously, I hope all women are not that shallow! Maybe they are. Men certainly are concerned about what we look like. No pic, no answer!! So shallow ! Good luck and I know there are women out there who would be excited to meet somebody who will treat them well and be a lot of fun!

Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted:
9/13/2006 8:45:24 AM
I don't get why some people would lie or have pics that are 10 years old ect. Don't they ever expect to meet or are they just playing games? I don't have a pic because I have no scanner or a digital camera. Besides, I take all the pictures so I am not in them lol! I describe myself acurately and go from there. If some guy is only after looks, he isn't for me anyway.

I have met several people without pics and it has been fine. Looks are not that important to me but if a person decribes themselves, it's okay with me. I am here to meet people and if the person is lying, I'll find out then. No big deal. I have made some good friends. I don't have a picture, and I am honest about the way I look. When we meet, he always has the option to not call again

For a change of pace, can we talk about the advantages of internet dating??
Posted:
9/12/2006 7:33:26 AM
I think there at a lot of advantages. Where else, at my age, so you meet men? I don't go to bars and it just doesn't work dating co-workers. Here you can talk and if meet or not meet, whatever you decide. You also get to talk to all kinds of different people and make some pretty cool friends. I never knew there were so many lonley people out there. I thought I must be a loser to use these things but there are lots of people here! If you use your head and not be stupid about things, it is safe I think. I won't meet somebody I get a funny feeling about. Besides, what do you know about somebody you meet in a bar or a club?

I think maybe you need to slow down a little. I don't agree that there are not people worth knowing on this site, but take it slow and be honest. Date a few girls. Nobody says you have to date just one, as long as you are honest. Love seems to sneak in and bite you when you least expect it. Hang in there!

would you date her?
Posted:

I think women ARE judged more harshly than men because we are supposed to be the "MOMS" and the care takers and what not. That is just an opinion of course.
As far as "people don't change" Maybe not basically but as a recovering alcoholic, I know I did things when I was out there that were NOT me and never will be me. So when the drugs and/or alcohol leave the system, your brain starts functioning again and the person you are begins to peek out. That is when the REAL work starts and I think anybody who is willing to so that work is deserving of all the support they can handle.

I think people can turn thier lives around and that when somebody learns from their mistakes, thye are a strong person/ I say go for it! She is probably a good person who got into the wrong things and that kind of stuff spirals!! Give her a chance. She is reaching out and who are we to judge?

does someone's past matter in a relationship?
Posted:
8/17/2006 6:21:37 AM
I really think we are who we are because of the past. What I mean by that is that we all hve life shaping experiences. The past can't be changed but it is important that if there have been mistakes, we have learned form them. I also worry about cheaters. It seems when somebody cheats on their significant other, they will do it with you too. Just an observation and maybe too judgemental om my part.

I have met with people with and without. I don't have a pic but nobody has run away screaming when we meet. I am honest about how I look. I do however, think it is a little shallow not to talk to somebody without a picture. Who says the pics that are posted are for real anyway? And honestly, isn't what the person is like the most important? Of course everyone wants a good looking person, but let's face it, looks fade.
