I do not think we would go that far in seven days, but anything is possible when stupidity kicks in, so I imagine if that happens it might look like this:

Nothing. We shall go on living without the Net for a week and perhaps even chat more with people around us.

I have noticed you come periodically to check my profile, but I do not understand why you keep doing that.
What is the point?
Age difference, distance between us, you are a non-smoker, etc....so many obstacles that would stand between us and you could figure it out, unless you are just looking at my photo and not scrolling down the page LOL
Does anyone READ profiles? :-)

Exactly!

Welcome to Mingle.

COULD develop, yes, but not if there is and never was any intention to look for more than just pure chemistry. The problem is that you can't tell if people honestly look for a relationship till you give them a chance.
So far I had no luck, but that can change and I might find someone who is not there just to "get some" from time to time.
I still didn't give up, but if they keep coming just for one reason, I can settle with a friend, or just an activity partner with similar life style. In that case that partner wouldn't have to be a man at all.

There is always a choice to either find the right person, lower expectations and settle with someone who is available, but not a true friend, partner and lover, or remain being alone, meaning no change, since that is already the case.
Joining online dating sites I was hoping to find a true soul-mate, but after both offline and online experience I got more realistic and lowered my expectations, so I am ready to settle with less, with just a friendship, or, to be more precise, basically an activity partner with similar life style.
I do not mean "friends with benefits", since I never had sex with any of my friends. For me a friendship is a friendship and an intimacy comes with deeper feelings that make it more than just a friendship.
I am neither married nor divorced dads surrogate mom and/or weekend toy, nor career men's way of saving the retirement money they would otherwise have to spend on women who could give them what they want. I am approached mostly by divorced dads with kids from other cities or single and never married professionals who see me as yet another adventure that may or may not turn into relationship with substance, but it doesn't really matter, because they are not really interested in more than just some "fun" (an actual word has the same first letter, but no need to be vulgar).
If there is nothing there but only chemistry, I'd rather skip it all together. Living without sex is no fun at all, but, if there is no other option, I'd rather give it up than base a relationship on it. Well, not just on sex, since some "smart ones" figured out there are other benefits they might use as well. Unfortunately, they think they are too smart and a widow would be easy to play with. What a pity! I lost time on figuring out their intentions and refusing them. The more times they try to use you and you say no, less you hope to find a sincere person with an opened heart and a fair-play on his mind.
Some friends tell me it is better to have a piece of cake than no cake at all, but they do not understand the difference between being single by choice, either by never getting married or after a divorce, and being alone because of losing the loved one.
If he was still here I wouldn't be looking for anyone else and neither would he. None of us was perfect, we both made mistakes; sometimes done well and sometimes failed, but it doesn't really matter - we deeply loved and cared for each other till death literally took us apart.
When I lost him my world collapsed. I didn't believe I could make it, but I did. I am back on my feet, with special place for him in my heart, but ready to love and be loved again. I do not seem to have any luck with finding someone serious, honest and ready to travel the life journey together.
Who knows, maybe I will find that special someone, but if I do not, well...life will go on.

Thumb up!

Imagine a scene!
Me:
-Mom you have two sons now and one of them is a gay.
Brother laughs:
-Well, at least you won't complain about the toilet seat anymore. You got it now, ha!
Mom asks:
-So what now, you are going to adopt a child or what?
Dad (from a grave):
-Thank you Lord, finally I got two sons, although the younger one turned out different than I hoped!
God:
-Poor fellow. Wait till he finds out about morning erections. He still thinks periods are the worst thing that can happen. Well,he insisted on life being a learning process, didn't he? LOL
Me (thinking):
-What if this is not just a dream!? Should I update my profile on Mingle now?
Minglers:
-What a strange scene,let's block this user just in case...Click! Here! That's better!

This topic reminded me of a movie The skin I live in.

Wonder how my family and friends would react... hmmm good idea for a funny home video?

Maybe we should put one of those red rotating lights on our heads and turn them on when we want some action? Would that be a clear and visible sign or should we also use an alarm in case you missed it?

Yes ... so easy to make a mistake

So may frustrated people, so little time to read all those stories...

They want to love and be loved.

Love is not a lust. Let's start there and you will get the rest eventually. Or you won't get it, but it is not a problem as long as there is a block user option. LOL

My friend decided to make a drastic change of her style (looks), so she asked me to go shopping together and I said YES! Oh, what a mistake. LOL
I tried not to hurt her feelings, so I suggested her to try one dress that would make her look much better. What a reaction! She bought the dress that didn't compliment her figure and got back home so mad at me that she didn't call few days or pick up my calls.
Later she calmed down a bit. Someone else told her the same thing, but not so gently. She remembered the dress I suggested her to try, went back to store and got it.
Then she called as if nothing happened. And it didn't really. It is not important anyways. It's just a dress.
She hesitated to call me to go out, so I took initiative and came to pick her up.
She looked great in her new dress and I told her that. The whole hell broke loose. Again! LOL
I started laughing and just hugged her. Her rant stopped and she laughed with me.
Funny thing is that she appreciated the fact that I never asked for any apology or anything. Why apologize? I figured that change of style is her way of trying to change some things in her life and it is just a phase she is going through.
Now she figured it has nothing to do with a dress, but something completely different and wants to apologize for outbursts. Again, no need for that. I know what she is going through, so it doesn't matter.
Now, if she has done the same thing to some poor man he would probably be confused and run away as far as he could.
Men sometimes take emotional outbursts as OPINIONS. That's the problem.
Not every man is verbal and likes to talk about feelings. Sometimes less (words) is more, but it takes time to some of ladies to realize that.

It is not the end of the world if s/he really didn't like those new car seats, but important things should be cleared out.
It's just my opinion. Not everyone thinks or feels the same.

If I were that wise I wouldn't make some mistakes to begin with. LOL
I am not sure if you mean it or you are cynical, so I'll just leave it there.
