Mixed Signals?
Posted: 11/9/2009 2:11:41 PM
“Mixed signals...step back and let HIM pursue you. Don't ALLOW him to engage in his continual behaviour if he does pursue you. “

“SET BOUNDARIES...His are NOT ACCEPTABLE!”

He did set the boundaries. He’s NOT interested in a committed relationship (like most men his age). If he’s like me, it won’t work. When a woman steps back, she screws herself; I do NOT chase anyone.

Do you ever think about how much time you have left?
Posted: 11/9/2009 2:01:59 PM
This is the most intelligent thing I’ve read here in years. Thanks! Sadly, NOBODY on here will agree and this will get deleted. They will all be among those still looking in 10 years and wondering what the hell happened....

The sad reality is that people’s level of maturity regress significantly over 40. This is partially due to the stupid middle life crisis. I’m 44 and it’s never been this hard meeting someone and I gave up years ago. I understand what you say but not much I can do other than accept when I can never meet women my age crazy expectations. Nobody wants a relationship over 40 unless it’s some fairytale... As we know, it only happens in movies.

On a positive note; There will be LOTS of singles at the Nursing Home by the time I’m there!

Thanks anyways!

“No I am NOT over him, so what?”

So what? Why not show respect to those who might contact you not knowing your state of mind? Is it mentioned anywhere in your long profile that you’re not over your ex?

Do yourself and everybody else a favour; get OUT of here and come back when you’re ready!

Are disproportionate age ranges requirements a red flag?
Posted: 11/9/2009 1:35:05 PM
It’s a matter of stupid middle age crisis that both genders go through. Everybody wants someone younger for the wrong reasons. The funny part is; if we all want someone younger, how in the hell are we supposed to find someone? Aren’t we always too old for anyone? This whole thing is totally retarded.

Whats it like being single over 30?
Posted: 11/9/2009 12:09:30 PM
It’s a simple and boring life at times. I travel the world, do lots of activities but always alone. On the other hand, dating has become a real nightmare so I’m better off alone.

“I also wont settle for less. Call me picky, call me shallow, but I have high expectations”

This is fine. As long as you understand that in 5 years, you’ll still be here and looking, wondering what the hell is wrong. It’s been 8 years for me....

How do you make life fun again?
Posted: 10/12/2009 9:41:39 AM
“My breakup with my bf has taken even that pleasure away from me.”

And you’re still here looking for a long-term relationship just so your next breakup will destroy you even more. I guess this is like alcoholism; a chronic disease. I had more than my share and just won’t go there again. I’m not that happy alone but is the happiest I’ll ever be considering how crazy dating has become and how disposible is everyone.

I'm 45 and going back to school at night to finish my Bachelors
Posted: 10/11/2009 1:21:07 PM
I completed a Degree in Commerce at 39. I’m still in University part time. School won’t be as hard as finding a good Managerial job after. Expect to make less money than you’re making now for at least the first five years. It’s a steep hill. I had to move to 4 different provinces and many cities before finally starting doing well (even though most my employees make more than me).

Posted: 10/11/2009 1:06:09 PM
“I have heard it's a fairly common ploy for 1st daters to arrange for a buddy to call you let's say an hour into the date.”

Common women practice for those without enough integrity and leadership to explain the reasons why they are not interested. Sad really..... It happened to me countless times. I was lucky, since they stayed for the date. It turned me off however, and I walked out.

"or is this whole thing a bunch of bullcrap??"

It is if you take it seriously. This is only adult entertainment.


“Same things happens in the "real world"

You can’t compare the ”real; world” with online dating......

“Takes time to get things going at first.”

Wrong! You receive lots of messages initially when new and it declines to nothing.

Where to meet?
Posted: 10/11/2009 12:56:15 PM
"What is the etiquette on this?"

The reason is that they have likely been here long enough to know that there is rarely a second date and for those taking online dating seriously, it’s time wasted. They therefore expect women to do “half” the work. This is a good indication of how serious they really are. I feel the same way after being here for 6 years.

What is the maturity of men 30+?
Posted: 10/6/2009 6:40:51 AM
the way i find it:
men in their 20s=no clue
men in 30s=starting to get a clue
men in their 40s=pretty much got it
50s+=lovely gentlemen

Being 44, I have to agree with the above. This being said, I won’t have kids and will not get married. If I wasn’t sure in my 30’s, I am now.

“Is it wrong to be upset if a man that you are dating goes to a female friend of his. and co-worker asking for advice about your relationship .”

Women tend to have a chronic tendency to share too much with friends and coworkers. Been there so many times with many ex. I always maintained that this was very respectful to me.

Hell no! This place is notorious for being a playground for casual sex seekers.

“I think ill stop looking on the computer for now on.”

If you wish for something serious, it’s better for you to leave. Online dating is adult entertainment only.

What the hell is “connection” or “chemistry”? Being in lust? You have it right away or you reject that person despite there could be lots of potential and common interests? No wonder dating leads nowhere....

Sudden surge of endorphin and serotonin “aka Chemistry” severely affects your judgment and make you do the most stupid things. Just watch Judge Judy. It’s all what it’s about...Also, if you notice, complainants are almost always female on Judge Judy.....

Didn't just break my heart.... actually destroyed my life!
Posted: 10/4/2009 11:46:53 AM
No one is destroying your life but yourself! No one forced you in this relationship. I chose not to get involved romantically after a lifelong of failed attempts and heartbreaks. This is self inflicted wound. It’s normal that you must lick them yourself. You better get used to it. It will only get worse as you get older.

You’re 22 and a Phlebotomist. Here’s my suggestion; forget about this dating crap, go back to school and become a Lab Technologist. BCIT offer the program. You can get a leave of absence from your current job and a guaranteed 60,000 job in less than 2 years. At your age, this is a good place to invest your time and energy. Not dating and relationship bullshit.....
