HELP i'm being E-Stalked
Posted: 9/30/2007 8:59:18 AM
Yes, I called the police and the nice Sgt took the fella's email and contacted him directly asking him to stop. Never heard another work from the creep.

What ever you do...do not read or respond.

Why do older men have dirty minds?

"Dirty"? As in a human biological drive to make love to and appreciate women?
Shocking...disgusting!

Alcoholism and dating.......help
Posted: 9/29/2007 2:27:06 AM
Just broke up with someone I believe to be an alcoholic. Run, don't walk.
It was my first time dating someone who drinks...

He was charming, but over several months I realized the bottle was his lover and I was his mistress on the side. Kicking myself now.

When someone lives in such emotional or physical pain and cannot address it by healing whatever makes him drink in the first place, forget emotional honesty in your relationship. It's self-centered behavior.

I tried to be compassionate, but at some point it became obvious that he was stuck in his pain and the bottle. Hanging around and watching someone drink is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Between drunks, he was a wonderful person.

Anyways, lesson learned the hard way.

The illusion of online dating
Posted: 9/28/2007 5:40:03 PM
The OP has a point. Well, several even.

Positive thinking and attitude dosen't hurt, but looking for someone to love "right off the shelf " echos our ultimate consumerist attitude. Does life imitate Walmart?

Heh...can you tell I'm in the "take a break mode"?

AT MY WITS END....INPUT PLEASE!!!!!
Posted: 6/25/2006 2:16:42 AM
Okay...I did it.

I left a jerk husband while making 7.50 an hour 6 years ago with 2 little kids. The ex told me if I tried to make him pay me support, he would kill me. Really nice guy, I am sure he meant it. we have joint custody, and I didnt make him pay me a dime. We exchange kids week on/week off.

The last 6 years have been a struggle (an understatement). I have also managed to go to college at night and now earn twice what I made when I left him. I am 3 payments from paying off my crappy old car (thank god I bought a little Nissan, 42 mpg highway). I have food in the house, bills are paid (for the moment) and my kids are fine.

I look back and know I did what I had to do to keep my sanity intact. I am also not sure how I have made it so far- formula= Live/One day at a time. My ex paid for child care- I dont know how I would have made it without that.

There are programs that can help you pay rent, buy food, take care of the kids. I didn't apply for them- couldnt deal with the idea. Looking back maybe it was stupid not to. In any case, it can be done- you live one day at a time and take care of yourself and your kids.

can women love too much
Posted: 6/24/2006 3:42:59 AM
I think there is a book entitles "Women who love too much" and it's a great one.

The title refers to women who cling to guys that are emotionally unevailable, trying to change them into a different kind of guy who will be able to offer emotional fulfillment.

Problem is, no man alive can supply endless attention and romance, they need to snuffle around and do guy things...In a healthy relationship they are free to come and go, meeting you in the middle for love.

When emotionally famished women chase them down in a relentless pursuit for romance- it quits working right.

Oh, the cliff notes on the book: Feed your own soul and find your own happiness, don't look for a man to do it for you- they really can't.

I would teach her about birth control, give her a laminated card with social services and shelters in her area, and keep helping, but remind her she is there by CHOICE. There are women's shelters that provide out patient group counceling for free, you could check into it.

As painful as it sounds, step back from the horror stories and make sure you don't enable her to stay with her poor choice. It's really black and white, she stays with Controlling Charlie or moves beyond him and into the scary unknown alone.

Serious relationship after sex the first day?
Posted: 3/2/2006 4:16:57 AM
What I don't understand here is the assumption that having sex soon after meeting would "taint" the relationship in some way. I wonder how many people here avoid black cats and carry a lucky rabbit foot too.

Nice people have sex sometimes...and sometimes sooner than later, and sometimes they wait. If we really had prescient minds, I don't suppose we would be here.

When it gets down brass tacks, mutual respect, kindness, sexual attraction and perserverence wins the game. Differences can be good, as well as simularities...but it's what you do with them that count.

Win the mind, win all....
Posted: 2/22/2006 7:31:47 AM
Not saying the mind isn't a factor. It is. But if it were a top priority, Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein would've caused more wet panties than a demonic washing machine on permanent spin cycle.

They don't? :) I've always thought a rather ordinary man with an extrordinary mind is much sexier than a pretty boy with vapor lock. Wet happens faster with mental stimulation than oral...at least for me.

Wanting More
Posted: 2/22/2006 7:24:55 AM
SOme women may be looking for a long term partner. When you said "not looking for anything serious right now", they assumed you meant with anyone EXCEPT them...something about a challenge that gets the heart pounding.

My advice- drop them, They are not honoring the "deal". The focus becomes changing you, when they would be much better off dating someone who has a simular relationship style and goal. In the long run, letting them go to find someone who can offer them what they want is the right thing to do.

If a women is seriously looking for a partner, and wants to focus on dating one person at a time, that is perfectly okay, too. You just can't have it both ways with all women.

Nightengale, he can't read these replies, but you can. this kind of "love" isn't love at all, it's obsession, and it dosen't feel good to you anymore. Good love is built on truth, and he hasn't been able to give you that.

Buccaneer38, while she is on 150 people's favorites lists, it could well be she knows about 15 of them, and the others just clicked on her profile...and of course favorites mean different things to different people. I have several women on favorites, and have added several to mine...it's not necessassarily about sexual lust, just people who found you interesting or have offered friendship over time in the forums.

Only man you should wholeheartedly trust is GOD.

Would you date an older man?
Posted: 11/11/2005 3:08:33 AM
^^^ Forgive me, I couldn't resist the temptation

Silver and gold and shiny things, exactly...but not sure how much love is going for these days on the commodity market. Remembering back to my youth, I wouldn't date older men, I preferred my age...more to talk about, or was it just the attraction of two pretty bodies?, I don't even remember my old attraction formula. I can tell you it has changed completely from age 27 to what I hold in value now.

At my age, I find the wisdom and experience of a man in my age group or older to be damned sexy, and view younger men as incomplete or "becoming" the man he will be after age 40.

Not at all to imply a right or wrong on anyone else's views, it's just how my attractions work at this stage of the game.

Timing

I agree blue eyed girl, usually timing issues show up (for me) in hindsight, or at least when you realize that someone you care about can't/won't be with you, for whatever reason.

He has already voted with his feet...he is where he wants to be for now.

Men are rather headstrong creatures, in my experience you can't hope a man into loving or dating you that dosent want to. Why he says is secondary to what he does.

The point is calculated manipulation to gain an advantage or outcome without concern for anyone but the game player. If there are regrets, they are soothed by the final play in the end game...the payoff, what ever that may be.

Psycho Men...
Posted: 11/10/2005 3:32:35 AM
Ummm, MSN? no...the police department, think restraining order.

I had a guy turn very nasty once after I decided not to date him (ha, called that one right)...anyway, after some verbal BS, a couple of veiled threats, took my emails to the local police. They made a record of the situation and contacted the man, giving him a "buddy, what the hell is wrong with you?" speech. Seemed to work, and I felt more comfortable knowing they had a record of his interactions...and knowing HE knew they did too.

You never can tell...this guy had worked for a major wallstreet accounting firm for 25 years...not a drifter. You have to be careful. Don't even play nice, or talk to him anymore, he is feeding off of your terror and fear.

When is it too late to forgive someone
Posted: 11/10/2005 3:23:18 AM
Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself, as well as the other person. Not forgiving someone who has hurt you or taken advantage of you could cause YOU to be stuck in a cycle of bitterness.

Best to forgive, and depending on the circumstances, probably run like hell in the opposite direction.

If it happened very quickly, without much time to know him...I would assume he wants to fall in love, and I am an object to fixate on (not good).

If it happened a couple of months into dating, I would tell him I am honored, but can't return it yet...then tell him my heart works really slowly on such matters.

Drop him like a wet sock. When you think of your future, I hope you won't settle for this kind of man and call it "love". Do you someday want a man in your life who treats you kindly? If so, don't date men who treat you poorly...in the end, you choose what you settle for.

Man Hater
Posted: 11/8/2005 3:11:06 PM
People look for "labels" to sound bite confusing behavior in others, especially when dissappointed in a relationship. Women don't hate men, but some are wary once burned, others go through a process of bitterness while learning to trust again, especially after a negative experience. This is not nessasarily indiginous to one sex or another; there are plenty of men with chips on their shoulders and trust issues.

When we disregard the "sexist" labels (all women, all men...), and realize people (men and women) all are trying to make sense of life and love, it becomes apparent we're just human.
