You Just Met Him. Now What?   5/9/2005

OK ladies, so you met what might be a potential "Mr. Right" and then find out he's not the one. What do you do? <br> You'll know in less than 5 minutes if you want to continue to see him. Advise a girlfriend to call you five minutes after you got there. You look at the phone and ignore it and say, I'll have to call that person later. Have your girlfriend call you 10 minutes ...

Let's Have Some Manners!   4/19/2005

I think we all need to treat those interested in us, whether online or in person, with at least some human dignity. This means acknowledging the mail we receive unless it is vulgar or abusive, finishing a date with the frog who was supposed to be a prince, unless he creeps us out, and being at least polite and tactful at all times. <br> If someone online isn't our cup of tea, a ...

Date From Hell   4/6/2005

This is one of my personal experiences and the names have been removed to protect the not-so-innocent. Seven years ago, my mother was dying of cancer. My aunt told me that I needed a new hobby besides taking care of mom and going to work and sleeping. I decided to do "online dating". It was one of my first experiences with online dating. I emailed her a few times and then used one of ...

Honesty Is Worth It   3/10/2005

We all submit the most flattering photographs, but that is not fair when the time comes to meet in person. Guess it takes courage to be that real. I study a photograph for personality, style, taste, because I can pretty well tell whether there would be chemistry for me. Another preliminary contact is by phone, because chemistry takes place audibly, too. But, most of all, ...

Every One Who Writes Me Deserves My Respect   3/10/2005

I try not to leave anyone feeling "down" just because we are not a fit. We all are searching for companionship, with such hope and humility. It has been a sweet venture for me, for many of you have written complimentary remarks, that I try to return the favor. Let's all put back into society good wishes and warmth for having sojourned here.

Response to;- Married Unfortunetly   10/22/2004

I wish there was a way I could understand how a marriage of two people can be held together when love doesn't exist anymore. I wish I could understand how anyone could place a higher value over monetary benefits than having and knowing a true inner happiness. I wish I could understand how a married man could turn a cheek to the hurt he can cause so many people when he seeks and gets ...

Response to:- "Love"   10/5/2004

If I were a man delivering pizzas and a woman said this to me I'm sure I'd say no thanks give me the ten bucks and I'll be out of there. I once did an estimate for a contract for work around a house. The wife answered the door in her robe and flashed me as her husband stood behind her. I said no thanks and left. Is it true some woman fall in love quickly or might some have an alternative ...

What does likes or dislikes have to do with joining a net   8/18/2004

Joining someones network of friends doesn't mean you have to be friends joined at the hip for eternity. It is simply an invitation to join a group of friends.

I had a lovely meal with a gentleman, at the local fish restaurant. One of the problems we encountered was that he had absolutely nothing to say.

Throughout the meal, I was not very happy with his table manners or should I say, lack of them, as he used his ...

Marriage in the Dictionary   7/10/2004

My dictionaries do not mention sex under the definition of marriage or marry. As a board certified divorce attorney, I know that non-consumation is not absolute grounds for annulment i.e. a marriage may still be upheld even if it is not consumated (no sex). Some married people can't have sex. While I agree that sex coupled with marriage is the wiser choice, it is not always possible and ...

A Response to Why some MARRIED people seek companionship here   6/10/2004

I strongly disagree with the reasons for looking outside the marriage listed in the article, "Why Some MARRIED People Seek Companionship." I think the person very eloquently wrote a load of excuses for dishonouring their marriage vows. <br> Before my husband died, there were several years when he was unable to engage in any sexual activities. I was fairly young, too (mid to late ...
