Do you forewarn the next Victim ? Posted: 12/29/2007 2:39:54 AM
Since there are two of you who have similar experiences and would be "vouching" for each other, I would lean toward letting her know, although it is certainly a sticky situation. One concern I would have though is whether he is the type of guy that would retaliate in some way. That would be something to consider. I was in a similar situation many years ago and I passed my information on through a mutual friend. That would need to be done carefully, so as not to humiliate the woman, but could be a way of handling it, if you know any of her confidants. If I were to "tell" I would be careful to not make accusations about the current relationship, but rather just share what the past experiences had been. I would also let her know how uncomfortable and hesitant I was to say anything, but that I felt obligated. I am not generally one that feels the need to "tattle" or share everything that I know about a situation, but the fact that there is a pattern and more than one person's perception of the situation, would make me more likely to let her in on what has gone on in the past. She very well might not believe you, but forewarned is forearmed and she will likely at least be more cautious about any red flags that she sees.

What a Kiss can tell you. Posted: 11/13/2007 12:08:07 AM
Wet sloppy kisses; gentle light, barely graze my lips kisses; deep passionate, buckle my knees and make me weak kisses... they're all good. While I have had some amazing kisses in my day and some that were less than, I don't recall any truly bad kisses. They are after all, still kisses and that's all good.

Can you be fall in love with a man you're not physically attracted to Posted: 8/15/2007 5:54:24 AM
When I met my late husband I was not particularly attracted to him. Nor was I "looking" for anyone. He was smitten though and started wooing me and after a while I came around, lol. The more I got to know him and like him, the more attractive he became. By the time I fell in love with him he was the hottest thing I had ever seen.

My family knows that I am dating online. They have met people that I dated for an extended length of time and know where we met. My mom still suspects that everyone online is an axe murderer though. I guess she thinks my brother's wife, whom he met online and my sister's partner,whom she met online, are just exceptions to the rule, lol.

Seeking male wisdom Posted: 8/7/2007 2:35:53 AM
This question is really for middle-aged men, otherwise known as my target audience. Particularly those of you that are looking for a serious relationship. How does this profile come across? Too strong? Positive? Negative? Whiney? Too picky? I tried to be as upfront as possible about what I want and do it in a light, slightly whimsical way. I wanted to convey some humor, but also get across where I am right now. I have showed it to some males friends and they liked it, but they are not my "prospects." My responses have dropped considerably since I changed to this profile. I want to know if it is just because I am weeding out the "casual daters" or if the ad is offputting. Just having a lot of responses is not helpful if we are not looking for the same thing that I am. On the other hand, I am certainly not looking to chase people away! So what do you think fellas? I need your sage advice.

Strange combinations Posted: 7/30/2007 1:40:05 PM
Apples and peanut butter. And my childhood favorite - toast and catsup! An interesting note on this, I ate this almost every morning for breakfast as a kid. When my cousin came to visit I taught him about it. He grew up and became a missionary to China. He taught his kids about it... and now people in China eat toast and catsup...

When in a similar situation I took mashed potatoes and melted a little cheese in them to add a bit more substance to them. You could also buzz some canned chicken up with them too. Buzzing up some soup or stew can also be good if it is too lumpy.

love at first sight Posted: 7/29/2007 1:41:21 AM
Personally I don't believe love at first sight exists. Lust? Yes. Infatuation? Yes. Love? No. I don't believe that you can love someone you don't know, after all, what do you love ABOUT them? Now, having said that, my late husband swore that he fell in love with me at first sight. We were married twenty years when he died and through it all he said that it happened instantly for him. It took him a few months of wooing me to get me to catch up though, lol. My theory is that infatuation can grow into real love at times, so I proceed carefully but give them the benefit of the doubt if I like them.

Da Bomb---Sloppy Joes! Posted: 7/28/2007 7:58:33 PM
My favorite way to make sloppy joe's is to just brown the hamburger meat, maybe with some onion, bellpepper, etc. if I want to fool with it, then add some canned tomatoes and BBQ sauce, simmer a while and eat. Yum. It's quick and easy and managed to slip a few veggies in when the kids were little and veggiephobic. On a similar note, we also made what my MIL called soupburgers. Brown hamburger meat, add canned vegetable soup, some mustard and catsup, simmer and eat. It was a yummy twist on the standard sloppy joe.

Eggplant Mush Posted: 7/22/2007 4:27:05 AM
If you chop it up and add it to spaghetti sauce and let it cook long enough you dont even know it's in there, but it adds a lot of flavor. I used to buzz zuchini and tomatoes up and add to spaghetti sauce or just use in a casserole or something when my kids were little. The flavor was great and they loved it as long as they didn't run into any chunks of zuchini to give away what was in there.

Eggplant Mush Posted: 7/21/2007 9:30:33 PM
A more cynical view would have it that eating improperly cooked eggplant makes you snappish and grouchy. LOLOL . We do actually like our veggies cooked mushy. If you like them less so, I'm sure you could do it in less time. This is a dish my daughter makes. She calls it BBQ style, low and slow. She made it the other day and I was eating some as I posted, soooooo yummy. As to the texture, it is eat with a spoon good. (And I have wondered about cooking it in the crockpot, that might come in really handy when school start back up.) I love eggplant parmesean, fried eggplant, eggplant cassarole, just about any kind of eggplant. One of the great things about this though is that, if you use an all veggie spaghetti sauce, it is all veggie and very low calorie. Also, although this does take a good while to cook, it is quick to prep and is more or less a set it and forget it meal. My favorite was when she made the squash, zuchinni and eggplant together, but she prefers the eggplant plain. (Throw a little onion in next time sweetie, Momma likes onion.) My personal motto when it comes to cooking is that if we are what we eat, then I must be cheap fast and easy - but the absolutely easiest thing that I have found is to let HER do the cooking! Um, and it's good experience for her. Yeah, yeah, that's it, good experience...

Easy yummy eggplant Posted: 7/20/2007 3:46:54 PM
Holy crap....4 hours? Yep, that's four hours at 300 degrees. It's not a quick meal, but very easy though. Just slice up the eggplant (& maybe other veggies) dump the sauce on and let it cook. It comes out falling apart good.

Slice and eggplant up and put in a backing dish. Cover with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Bake for 4 hours on 300 degrees. YUM Great when topped with mozzerella or parmesean too. We have also added other veggies if we have them around, squash, zuchini, etc. That's great too.

Reports of unethical or fraudulent experiences w/ True.com? Posted: 7/20/2007 2:18:58 PM
I have used True also. They do send winks out for you, but there is a way to turn that feature off. It's hard to find, but I have done it. I hate that the automated winks are set up to look like you actually sent them. I have only met one person from there, but I do have to say that I dated him for almost a year and he is still a close friend. Other than that I have never had any luck with them. They can be a pain to deal with and they are expensive, although I have never paid them. They do give out liberal free time though so that is a plus. I have had a lot of luck with Yahoo and also with Singlesnet. Never had any problems with either, although they both have their various annoyances and, of course, cost money. I like POF and enjoy the Forums, although I have only actually met one guy from here in person. He was a great guy though and we did date several months.

When you go to the movies, try eating a pice if chocolate (reese balls are good) and a handful of popcorn together. Saw it on the King of Queens, thought it was gross....but tastes reaaaally good lol. I love to do that. When I was a kid I used to dump my Milk Duds in my popcorn at the movies. Tried it a few years ago as an adult. Pulled the crown right off my tooth... Ever tried a Three Musketeers with Doritos? Love that sweet and salty combo!

Separated, But Dating... Good or Bad? Posted: 7/20/2007 1:38:10 AM
I think that when someone is moving on through the divorce process that waiting until after it is final can be a good thing because they are likely going through many emotions during the transitional time and it may be best to not have extra emotional entanglements. I do understand though, that it can be difficult and may be a different situation when a separation turns into a several year long process for whatever reason. As to whether a separation is always permanent. In my own case, my late husband and I were married for twenty years. We had some problems though around the ten year mark and were separated for six months. He considered it permanent and even lived with another woman during that time, although I wanted to reconcile. In the end we did work it out and had many happy years together before he died. You really never know how things might turn out. My personal policy is not to date anyone that is still legally married.

I would suggest double checking your spelling and punctuation too. Not to sing the same old song, but you do have some typos and it really does make a difference to the overall look of a profile. You might try cutting and pasting into Word and running a spelling and grammer check there. Good luck!

I'm on several Christian dating sites too, along with various others. I have only met a couple of guys off POF, but I have dated guys off numerous sites in the last year or so. I am just getting tired of "dating" and I am ready to have a relationship. As to the 75 mile thing. I am really looking for closer than that, but that was the closest option listed. I have tried long distance relationships and they are not for me. It seems like even 40 or 50 miles away has not been too workable. I really am looking for someone in my area, so that we can get together frequently and comfortably in a long term relationship. Thanks for the imput!

HELP....! I'm not catching enough fish... ladies opinions please Posted: 7/19/2007 7:34:00 AM
I did get that the bit about your son was a joke. I liked it. If you keep the disclaimer that you really wrote it in there, I would suggest making it humorous also. Right now it has that "explaining the joke" downside to it. I do see the need for it, but make it another (easy to understand) joke. Overall I like it, but it is really long. I like to read a lengthy profile, but yours was REALLY long. You have lots of good stuff, just too much of it. One thing you might do is cut it down and then change it up periodically using various material that you have cut. Adding new stuff to your profile, especially with new pics, helps get people looking again when you have been around awhile. Overall it makes you seem like a great guy and makes me think it is a shame you are so far away.

Do You Tell Your Parents Who (or if) You're Dating? Posted: 7/16/2007 10:40:46 PM
My parents know that I am dating online. I tell my mother various things about dates from time to time. I dated one guy that I met online for almost a year, he participated in various family events during that time. It is a running joke in our family that my mother thinks everyone on the Internet is an axe murderer. The ironic thing is that my sister met her partner online, they have been together nine years now. Then my brother met his wife online, they will have their second anniversary in a few months. My parents are crazy about both of them, so I guess they have managed to get past the axe murderer status, lol.

Would you double date with your son or daughter Posted: 7/16/2007 9:47:07 PM
My kids are in their early twenties. As to an early date, no, I doubt we would double. However, if I were in a relationship and they were in a relationship, then I would expect that we would do things together, as a group, from time to time. I am a widow, so the "ex-topic" is a bit different for us. My kids or I might mention my late husband from time to time to a guy that I am dating, but it is no big deal.
