Posted: 5/1/2009 8:02:07 PM I was presented with a red rose on a first date....it turned out to be plastic.....tacky to say the least........  rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 20 (view)   What attributes would make up your ideal first date? Posted: 3/14/2009 8:10:27 PM First date usually makes the biggest impression.Im just blown away by the amount of guys who turn up on a first date looking like they have worn the same clothes ALL day and maybe the day before too.I am always impressed with a man who takes pride in his appearence....hes actually taken time to shower, washed his hair, shaved and is smelling of decent aftershave, clothes are clean and fresh, clean nails and most importantly, cleaned his teeth and has fresh breath....After all when Im going out on a date whether its just a coffee etc, Im freshly showered, hair and make up done and wearing clean fashionable clothes and wearing perfume.....Im trying to make an impression thats positive and enjoyable....so guys...take heed..before you leave..hop in the shower............  rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 110 (view)   10+ year old pics in profiles.. Posted: 3/7/2009 6:57:25 PM I disagree that most people are interested in the profile more than a photograph.Lets be honest, we are all looking for an attractive person, then we look at the profile.Im really surprised that photographs of objects..ie cars, scenery, buildings and pets etc are allowed on this site.Some dating sites only allow clear close ups of a persons face. I have been on dates where guys photos dont even resemble themselves in the flesh. I have on many occasions cut the meeting short because of this. Also I have met some guys who hardly look like they even bothered to change their clothes before venturing out on a date....It makes one wonder what their personal habits are like....A BIG turnoff in my books  Rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 126 (view)   Do abusers repeat there patterns Posted: 2/12/2009 9:39:08 PM I agree with what you say Sharzi..I dated a guy..we seemed to hit it off pretty quickly...however as the relationship began to develope and he would share with me his past experiences and how he dealt with it..his anger began to errupt..he would describe his relationships with his memory full of verbal anger...he would hit the roof at the smallest of things...He was still pissed at his ex dumping him for a better person...I felt that all the time...THEN he hit out at me verbally at the MOST insignificant thing....ie...his apartment was smelly and quite frankly dirty YET would arrupt at me leaving soap bubbles on the dishes etc etc...his apartment would stink at the garbage he would leave around for days on end....It got to the point where i began to fear for my safety.....physically and emotionally....he would phone close contacts and whine and complain....thankfully..those who know me..knew what they were dealing with...So to the question in hand..NO people with these problems should be left alone.for all concerned......  Rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 30 (view)   Driving ability exposes behavior? Posted: 2/3/2009 8:38:04 PM I have to disagree that driving is an expression of the driver..it all depends on mood of the driver at that given time, time of day and other drivers behaviours.HOWEVER it can also be the drivers companion..ie..the back seat driver OR in my case..the person sat next to me...Road rage is not confine to the driver or others on the road...I have had a passenger who has violently sworn at my driving.( no I was not impaired or driving erraticaly)I was driving in a busy city..not use to the amount of driving, speed etc I was forced to listen to the maniac expletives of a person who a. had not driven a car in a long time, b did not hold a valid license, c. had road rage that would put the devil himself to shame.....I have driven for over 28 yrs without one driving infraction....in more than one country....I think when certain individuals get behind the wheel, they get so excited with the feeling of power...nothing will stop them....except of course a brick wall.....I also firmly believe this innate behaviour follows them in all lifes situations....  rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 23 (view)   Enjoying being single Posted: 12/30/2008 10:00:29 PM I was married to my first husband for 20 yrs..it was a nightmare..married a second time for 12..he passed away...I hate being alone however I enjoy dating once again...its taken me some time to adjust to being alone and all that it entails...I guess as one gets older the needs of marriage and all it entails is no longer an issue....I guess Im actually enjoying my freedom...to spend...shop..cook clean..consider another guy....wow..when I come to think of it....Im darn lucky..........lol  rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 27 (view)   Hoarders.....Is there any hope? Posted: 12/28/2008 8:29:16 PM I met someone recently who is a hoarder....hes awesome and sweet...but I also noticed that he cant or wont leave the apartment...his only means of communication is phone or Internet.....he ventures out to shop for necessities..but is unwilling otherwise...Im a go getter..I need to go and meet people..go out to work etc...interact with my family..what am I to do?...I wanted a future with him however he seems unable or unwilling to do so......He talks the talk but cant walk the walk as they say..........  rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 84 (view)   If an individual is a hoarder, can they romantically attach to someone? Posted: 12/28/2008 8:13:06 PM I have met and dated a hoarder (first Time I have ever dated one)..however hoarding is not the only problem...this person is also reluctant to venture out of the apartment too...Time is spent inside this place with only the Tv and telephone for communication....how does one help this person? Is there possibility of a long term relationship with someone like this??? Or am I am wasting my time and energy???  rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 337 (view)   Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 12/9/2008 5:49:50 PM I have found with time and experience that sex is more important to me now than it ever was in my 20s and 30s....I am no longer living the fear of an un wanted pregnancy..also with time ( and disappointed) I now have learned how my body and mind in conjunction with each other, actually work...in other words I know what turns me on..I can no longer fake or EVEN want to fake , great sex and the ultimate orgasm....I am far better experienced than I ever was and look forward to many many more years of awesome uninibited sex...(with a committed partner I might add)  rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 173 (view)   Criticism in a relationship Posted: 12/9/2008 5:40:27 PM Criticism in any relationship is self destructive...If a person cannot get his or her point of view across without undermining or even worse, making the other person feel totally worthless, then he/she has failed miserably in making a point of view...Criticism is a trap....people do not realise that , in actuality , its the critic that is the victim......After time one thats being criticised will feel the need to end the relationship...(hopefully)  rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 41 (view)   Is there a REASON to marry after 45? Posted: 12/9/2008 5:28:20 PM Personally I would not remarry again.....I have worked hard for the material things in my life..ie home ,vehicle etc etc...I have learnt through painful experience that relationships can break up...and with broken relationships come broken homes and possessions...As one ages it becomes harder to replace what one has worked so hard for.....I am willing to be commited to a relationship and pledge to be faithful to my parntner and love him till the end of time......marriage will not enhance this at all....  rootie Joined: 1/10/2008 Msg: 372 (view)   Why don't tall men choose to date tall women?
