Dating friends
Posted:
7/4/2007 5:59:00 PM
I have put friends in my profile because I think that any possible LTR should start off as friends first. I might be looking for a LTR but I don't want any pressure or expectations. There would have to be mutual attraction, friendship and we would have to feel comfortable with each other. We would have to click on a certain level. I don't know about this "get-out-of a-relationship free card" because if there is no relationship in the first place there is nothing to get out of. I have no obligation to a man I have not committed to in a relationship. I am not going to start a relationship until we have developed a friendship first. There are a number of steps to go through to get to the relationship stage. Respect, trust, friendship, attraction/chemistry, love. I am quite willing to make friends along the way.
There seems to be a lot of men contacting me for an instant relationship, casual affair or friends with benefits type of thing. I realise men and women tend to think differently and may have different needs at different times. I need to fall in love and be in a committed relationship before I have sex with someone. My first obligation is to my heart. If any man can't deal with that they should find another woman who can satisfy their needs. I went through a lot of trauma losing my late partner and first love. We started off as friends first. I wouldn't have felt comfortable with anything else. I wasn't looking for a relationship with him but he pursued me anyway and he caught me because I fell in love. I don't want to go through too much more heartache if it can be helped. I'm the one who has to live with the decisions I make.

I love you!
Posted:
7/4/2007 8:29:21 AM
I am very conservative as to whom I say the words "I love you". I have only ever said them to my late partner and my two children. But to these 3 people whom I have loved most in this world I have said "I love you" a lot. I think I never said it to anyone else because I was afraid of getting hurt. I am just not one to show a lot of emotion and affection to a lot of people. But when I do I really mean it. Sometimes it doesn't seem enough and I say something like "I love you heaps and heaps and lots more". I show it to my children all the time with lots of kisses and cuddles as well and they just can't get enough. They're always coming back for more. My 3 year old daughter says "I wuv you too Mummy, OK?" in such a cute little voice and grabs me to give me a kissy cuddle.

Have you ever considered becoming romantically involved with a friend ?
Posted:
7/1/2007 9:28:29 AM
I personally would prefer to start off as friends first. I think it is the best way to start a romantic relationship. I think you should give it a chance. But do whatever feels right for you. If it works out it will be built on a strong foundation of friendship.

should someone in a relationship have secret friends of the oppisite sex
Posted:
7/1/2007 7:20:35 AM
It's great to have friends of the opposite sex but you shouldn't keep them secret from your partner. A relationship needs to be based on trust. Your partner needs to know who you're hanging out with.

Are women impressed by feats of strength?
Posted:

That is just hillarious!!!
But I wouldn't be impressed with a guy showing off like that in public. Sounds more ego-driven than an attempt to protect your date.

Do girls decide if they're attracted to a man within 30 seconds of meeting him?

It takes me somewhat longer to figure out the attraction. Maybe days, months, years.

Sure an incredibly handsome man is great eye candy but I find intelligence to be much more of a turn-on. I'd probably get bored with a stupid guy pretty quickly. He just wouldn't do it for me.

Boys need fathers...Period
Posted:
5/21/2007 4:41:12 AM
I wish my 2 little children could grow up knowing their father but unfortunately he died. They will have to rely on other male influences. If I do find someone else to share my life with then I guess they'll have a step father but I'm not going to go out of my way to find another man just so the kids can have a father. It would be nice if there were more men in our lives, friends or otherwise.

blind date
Posted:
5/21/2007 4:10:10 AM
Perhaps I'm afraid I'll stuff up the entire date. I met someone from the internet once before and I totally screwed it up. I really liked the guy and his photo didn't look much like him at all. As a result I freaked out and he got very bad vibes from me. He was kind of odd looking due to a medical condition. The annoying thing was I realised I still liked him and I would have been willing to see him again. However, I think I scared him off and he didn't want to see or speak to me again. He probably thought that I thought he was ugly which was untrue. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Next time I will lower my expectations.
Anyway, as I have very limited experience with meeting up with men I'm worried I'll freeze up again and do or say something totally stupid. I'm not sure whether seeing each others photos is going to make a difference or not. There are other factors more important than looks but I guess I still expect a certain level of attraction. Failing that, I'm hoping to at least be friends. It's hard to meet men in my every day life given I have to look after 2 small kids.
Maybe if I meet more men it will become easier. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm just meeting up with another person and it's just a casual get together to get to know someone new. Shouldn't be any pressure there. I should just calm down, relax and take it easy.
I don't know if he has seen my photo. I changed my username at some stage too so I'm not sure if he's managed to find my profile again and he hasn't asked about it. I can't find his profile on PoF either. He did say he was looking for his photo. If he sends me his maybe I'll send mine. At the moment I have absolutely no idea what he looks like because he hasn't given me a description either. He knows I am Asian so he probably has a better idea.

So you want a long term relationship??
Posted:
5/20/2007 9:22:06 AM
I hope that a long term relationship would be a commitment to spend the rest of my life with a person. I have put friends in my profile though because I think being friends first can lead to a better longer lasting relationship based on a more stable foundation.

Why do women love dancing so much?
Posted:
5/20/2007 8:51:40 AM
When women were young, they spent their time playing dolls and dancing around in a tutu... we were busy riding bikes and catching frogs. Is it any wonder we are like we are?
I love to dance. Not ballet though - did it for a while and gave it up. I also used to catch tadpoles. That was fun.

I am meeting up with a guy in a couple of days with whom I have been chatting online with for a while. We haven't even exchanged photos yet. I really enjoy chatting with him. We will both get a surprise when we first see each other. I'm not sure what he is after or what his expectations are. I'm not even certain of my own expectations. I'm still wondering whether it would be better to just swap photos before we meet. He saw my PoF profile before I had a photo up and he sent me a message. Just curious as to what people think about this.

how old you are vs how old you look/act
Posted:
5/16/2007 9:13:12 AM
No one ever guesses my real age. They usually think I am about 10 or more years younger. I have 3 younger sisters and people tend to think I'm one of the younger ones. I have always acted young for my age and gotten along better with people older or younger than me. I seem to attract younger men too. Some of them had a certain age limit in their profile and I was above that and they sent me a message anyway. I am not delusional. I have looked and acted younger for a very long time. This is just the way I am.

Joining forces?
Posted:
5/14/2007 2:13:10 AM
Rather than arguing about which religion is "right" we should accept that everyone has different experiences and therefore different beliefs. We should respect people and be more open-minded. We should be more accepting and tolerant. We are all human. We should be able to have our own opinions and beliefs as long as it doesn't hurt anyone or anything. I don't think one world religion would really work because there are so many different cultures and people on the planet.

Help.. Does no 'sparks' on a first date mean anything?
Posted:
5/14/2007 1:55:33 AM
Perhaps it's because I find it very difficult just to be myself when first meeting up. I get all shy and nervous. Maybe they're not meeting the real me. It's difficult for me to open up at first. They probably have to gain my trust slowly. No wonder it's more difficult for shy people.

Help.. Does no 'sparks' on a first date mean anything?
Posted:
5/14/2007 1:37:56 AM
Even in everyday life I don't usually feel instant attraction let alone with someone I met online. I felt sparks the second time I talked to my late partner. That was after months of knowing of each other's existence. A lot of guys I have been interested I only developed an interest after knowing them a while.I think I have a habit of falling for friends. So I think I may be in trouble if the sparks are expected to come instantly. Particularly with internet dating. I think maybe I get so nervous because I worry about expectations then I freeze up and I'll probably scare guys off. That happened with the only guy from the internet I met up with. His photo was slightly misleading. He looked so different from his photo that I didn't recognise him therefore I had difficulty relating him to the guy I met online. I had difficulties during that date but I would have been willing to meet up again with him because I just liked him so much. But he wasn't willing because of the bad vibes he got from me. I think I accidentally offended him. But he should have sent me a better picture.

Why are older women not into younger guys???
Posted:
5/13/2007 4:50:01 AM
I could go out with a guy up to about 10 or so years younger but I don't think I could handle 20 years younger. I'd think I'd feel too uncomfortable dating someone young enough to be my son.

Age difference in dating
Posted:
5/7/2007 9:59:09 AM
I tend to be attracted to younger guys and I seem to attract younger guys. Although online I also attract much younger and much older men. I don't think I'd be comfortable dating someone young enough to be my son or old enough to be my father. I don't have any definite set rules. Just whatever is in my comfort zone and other factors such as attraction and common interests. My late hubby was 7 years younger than me. I met up with a guy recently who was about 9 years younger than me. I think I look and act younger than I am. But people should date whoever they feel comfortable with regardless of age. It's a personal thing, as long as they're adults.

Moving past initial attraction
Posted:
4/30/2007 2:33:15 AM
^^^^ Have you told him this ??
cdn guy
I tried to. I think he has self-esteem issues. I tried to get through to him. He doesn't want to speak to me. My heart is really hurting. I thought I'd gotten him out of my system but he's just popped back in there again. I just wish he'd sent me some more accurate photos of himself. Then we wouldn't have this problem now. Even in his original photo he looked a bit odd but that never worried me. He just caught me by surprise because he looked so different. Regardless of his photo or his actual appearance I am more attracted to him than Brad Pitt for instance (who really doesn't do anything for me).

Posted:
4/29/2007 8:26:43 PM
I am REALLY attracted to a guy who looks kind of strange because of a medical condition he has. He has had difficulties with women all his life because women tend to back away. But we chatted online and we had so much in common. We were getting along really well. I met him for the first time and he didn't look like his photo. So I reacted to this. Then afterwards I realised I truly liked him anyway. Only problem is he probably thinks I think he's really ugly. He also got bad vibes from me from that first meeting. But now I miss him so much and I can't get him out of my mind. The more I liked him the more I liked the look of him. My heart is broken now.

If I'm chatting to a friend online and someone else pops up I will let them know. It's not like we made a commitment. And even if I do find someone that doesn't mean I'm going to ignore my friends either.

That's not a very fair statement. I like chatting with men. Married or single. We're friends. In my everyday life I am surrounded by women and I am missing male company. It doesn't mean I want to date every man I chat with. At the same time I am looking for the right man to share my life with but that comes with time. Sometimes a life partner could come most unexpectedly. I don't see why I stay away from all other men. It's good to have different kinds of people in my life of both genders. As long as you know where to draw the line.

Has anyone emailed someone that they wouldn't date?
Posted:
4/28/2007 4:14:52 PM
Yes, I like making friends on the internet. Also because I have to look after too young kids it's hard for me to get out and meet people. I am surrounded by women most of the time. I like to be able to make some men friends. Plus I can't always tell straight away if I want to date a man unless I chat with him for a bit. There's one I like in the USA but he is too far away from me. Another one turned out to be married anyway (which I did suspect) but we're friends and I enjoy chatting to him. He was looking for friends anyway. It's just nice to have friends to chat to.

The Extraordinary Smile
Posted:
4/28/2007 3:12:36 AM
I have a friend with a marvellous smile,
A smile that is truly divine,
He's so delightful to people he greats
and with all his charm he's so very sweet,
He's bewitched us all with his shine.
I have a buddy with a remarkable smile,
'It all comes with training,' he beams,
Can you teach me to smile the way that you do?
One thing to remember - the smile must ring true
to be held in the highest esteem.
I have a pal with an incredible smile,
A smile that is warm and sunny,
He smiles all day and possibly all night,
As we all stand in pain and feel uptight
his grin makes our pain seem so funny.
I know a young man with an extraordinary smile
That beams brightly from ear to ear,
One look at his smile I'm sure you'll agree
is a sight that is truly worthwhile to see,
The smile that makes us all cheer.
[This is a poem I wrote many years ago about a friend.]

Attractiveness scale.....(what do you think??)
Posted:
4/27/2007 3:12:18 AM
On another dating site my photo had ratings varying from 1 (I think there was only one of those) to 10 with a lot of variety in between. So I'm either frighteningly ugly or really beautiful. I just don't know what to think. I don't think I photograph that well anyway. I think I look better in person. But I look in the mirror and all I can see is me. I just can't rate myself.

Does age matter? Seriously is it jist a number?
Posted:
4/26/2007 4:25:09 AM
I thought that women generally lived longer than men anyway. I don't think it always has to do with age. It depends on how you look after yourself and your outlook on life. I have always felt young for my age. I've always felt more immature than my peers. Also some people at say 40 or 50 are fitter than some people at 30. My late partner was 7 years younger than me. It never worried me personally though at first I was worried about what my family would think. I got over that. But I still find that I am generally attracted to younger guys. It's just me. A few weeks ago I went on a date with a guy who was 9 years younger and I didn't see that as a problem. I can't force myself to be attracted or not attracted to someone just because of their age. If I do happen to be attracted to an older guy so be it. Still I wouldn't want to go out with someone young enough to be my son or old enough to be my father. I would also be worried if someone were under 18. At 23 I was attracted to a 17 year old guy (although nothing remotely romantic happened between us anyway) but I think at that age you should wait before you take the relationship further. I was a very immature and inexperienced 23 but this girl mentioned here obviously has had more experience and children to boot. So I think it also depends on the circumstances and the individuals involved. It's not always JUST the age.

Attractiveness scale.....(what do you think??)
Posted:
4/25/2007 8:21:35 AM
Well I know a guy who looks rather odd because of a medical condition he was born with and I'm really attracted to him. He has always had problems with women because of his condition. He is a wonderful guy and we have a lot in common. Main problem is he thinks that I think he's ugly and won't speak to me. I believe he's also very insecure because of the way he looks. It's so unfortunate. He really is a great person. I miss him. It's a pity that there's too much emphasis on looks. He is odd looking but as far as physical attraction is concerned there are other more normal looking guys whom I find less attractive. Brad Pitt really doesn't do anything for me. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I also think that sometimes when you like a person enough, they start to look more attractive to you regardless of what others may think. I think it is very unfair to be rating people on physical attractiveness.

What do you bring to a relationship ?
Posted:
4/25/2007 6:17:40 AM
To a serious relationship I bring 2 very cute little kids and lots of books.
Also honesty, loyalty, integrity, patience, understanding, affection, love, intimacy, poetry, some Cantonese, Wing Chun, computer, piano and spelling skills, a feminine counterpart.
Gees I'm beginning to sound too boring and serious. I can laugh. Some people have told me I have a beautiful smile.

the guys who fix things
Posted:
4/25/2007 4:55:01 AM
My late hubby had a habit of getting into all sorts of things around the house. He modified a video camera, the Sony Playstation and took the microwave apart thus voiding some warranties. He was quite helpful sometimes though. He did a lot of work on the car and the computer. He was into physics, electronics, computing, auto mechanics and other handyman stuff. He did use part of a kitchen sink pipe to fix the car and it passed rego. Sometimes he could be annoying at other time I thought he was very ingenius. He had a lot of electronic projects and circuit diagrams lying around too. I love smart guys. I want to learn some of this stuff myself.

I would be attracted to a man who could stimulate me physically, emotionally and mentally. At the same time I would be turned off if he went around boasting about how handsome or how intelligent he was. Humility is more attractive.

Posted:

Widowed for 3 years, scared and stuck with 2 young children. I really have no experience with this dating business. I actually went out with one guy from the internet whom I really really liked. He didn't look anything like his photo. I freaked because he looked different from his photo. He has a medical condition which makes him look a bit odd. So now he thinks I think he's really ugly and doesn't want to have anything to do with me. But I really did want to see him again because I really liked him. My lack of experience didn't help. I kind of had a broken heart after that. Now I'm worried I might get scared if I go on another date. I'm really shy around men, particularly when I'm meeting potentials for the first time. I might end up scaring them all away. I shouldn't be so scared at my age. I guess I'll have to get over this silly fear. I'm also very fussy about the type of men I want to date. I may be shy but I'm not desperate.

Lying about ages
Posted:

I never lie about my age. People think I'm younger anyway. I seem to attract younger and older men, not many my own age. My late hubby was 7 years younger. I think I have a tendency to be attracted to younger guys. I just don't feel that old. It's just a number to me. I wouldn't go out with someone who was young enough to be my son though. I don't see any point in lying about age anyway, particularly if you want to get into a serious relationship with someone. You'll get found out sooner or later.

Also whatever a person's gender, ethnicity, culture, disability or sexual orientation they should be treated with respect.

I suppose you could take into account cultural differences but whatever her ethnicity you have to also remember that each girl is an individual and should be treated as such. I am a Chinese woman who was brought up in Australia so I guess I don't know much about Chinese culture but I did have two kids with a mostly "white" Australian. They're such cute kids.

Could you review my profile please. I'm still working on getting some better pictures. Do you think it might be too long, too serious or reveal too much? It's still a work in progress.

Well I met with someone who did give me a photo. Only problem was his photo didn't really look like him at all and I wouldn't have recognised him if he wasn't standing where he was. He looked a bit strange because of a medical condition. Because he looked so different I was surprised and I couldn't relate to him properly at the time. Except that we had already gotten to know each other online and I really liked him a lot. So despite my initial reaction I really did want to see him again because I really liked him as a person and his looks really didn't matter to me. We had so much in common and we really connected. And he really wasn't too ugly just strange looking. The problem was because I reacted the way I did he said he didn't feel the connection in person and never wanted to see me again. I was really really sorry about my initial reaction but he gave me a misleading photo. I got my heart broken. I normally open up that easily to people, even online. So I am never going to get so close to someone online again and I might ask to meet on webcam first.

Heres some tips for your profile

I've taken all your suggestions into account. I've made more changes to my profile again. I decided to take off the restrictions to see what happens. I've actually got a couple of responses now though both of them are a tad younger than my limit. I might start chatting to one of them and see how things go. My profile is still a work in progress but I think it must be getting better. I think it is sounding a little too serious. Still need to think up an interesting title and get some good photos taken of me. What do you think of my profile so far? Thanks for all your help.

I have taken all your suggestions on board and made some changes. I'm still working on the photos though. They'll be coming soon if I can get some decent ones. Thanks.
