ego busters

Hi All! I have joined the dating game after a long time away. I have managed to meet some really nice guys, but seem to be rejected more often than not. So my question is - how do you keep your hopes alive after hearing "thanks but no thanks"? I think I keep to keep trying but my ego is getting rather dented. Thanks! I think being truthful about your situation sometimes is a two sided sword. While it tends to cut a lot of the chaf away sometimes it makes people who are hypersensitive to any kind of red flag also pass you over. Times being hard I think some people are only going to want to pair up with partners that are able to sustain themselves and are in very good health. Especially for those of us that are not "sweet young things" any more. |

Long distance relationships

So not having luck here finding someone fun and cool to talk and spend time with I have tried eharmony - And success or so I thought; we chatted more and more she even sent me her number and we spoke on the phone then nothing its like being dropped off the face of the moon. So what now any suggestions? Have you Googled yourself and checked some of the sites that pass information out about people? Maybe she saw something there that scared her away? They are not always accurate and with as much Identity theft is going on out there I would at least check. I refused to date a guy that they reported as still married until he showed me the divorce decree. I don't know if it is the case in your situation but some dateing sights have been suspected of createing dead end romances just to get particularly appealing profiles on their base or persuade members to use their life coaches. A lot of the ones that let you post for free for so many days continue to post profiles they know are not going to be answered. |

Would have been nice if mine would have tried to be a father. I think he has gone to my one son's house to see the grandkids but he didn't attempt but a couple of visitations and didn't pay child support. He did pay for their step-father to adopt them in their preteens.

Unless you like being a booty call I don't get why you are even thinking about this guy. Doesn't sound like he is thinking about you.

Creeped Out Or Flattered?

I really don't care who looks at my profile.
I figure they are checking out who rated them or welcomed them or sometimes looking who is talking in the forums. I do know if you are looking at the forums and it is easy with a touch mouse to slightly move your cursor when you are trying to click on a specific thread and you end up tagging the last person who added to it. |

No. By definition cults are taking power over a person's free will and I wouldn't want that for someone I cared about.

This "story" sounds like a stinko story some guy tried to run on me at Christmas. His story was the son was the one in the hospital but *69 made that baloney.
I would bet good money if you went out there you would be very disappointed. If he is 18 years old and in college his Dad has no say who can see or talk to him. If he was legit he would have given you concrete information about where he lived and how to get a hold of him. Kidney stones are not a common ailment for a young person but it would be for some kooky old fart that was looking for attention. It is totally inappropriate for this guys father to be telling you how you should act in a relationship. I can understand how he would want to know about you; especially if you are distracting his son from accomplishing his degree but he should be expressing that to his son and him telling you. If you got into a serious relationship with this kind of father-in-law it is very likely to be a relationship that would ultimately fail. It is quite likely you can put a hold on the airline ticket and use it to research someplace to work or go to further school. If you actually do a job interview somewhere you can at least write it off your taxes. I can undertand the allure of having a life without a lot of structure but if you want that kind of freedom as life goes on you really need to get your schooling compleated. You have the ticket why not apply it to one of the student trips that colleges sponsor. With a reward to work toward it won't seem so much of a grind. I am sorry this doesn't sound like it is going to turn out well. It is possible if you remain in control of your life he can coninue his education in a college near you if you both actually work through a plan. |

Being widowed maybe threw him a curve when your relationship took off. You don't have to do anything you don't want but if he made you made you so happy I would take my opportunity to work it out. If you know where he lives maybe send him a personal letter.

Have you ever dumped anyone?

Not real fond of the idea of dumping people. If you chose a relationship that doesn't meet your needs then it is a mutual failure so who "dumped" whom isn't real important.
Generally if I commit to be in a relationship I take it pretty serious and make what is and is not acceptable. If things are just not working I generally set down and talk about things several times to see if a correction can be made. If I see them making and effort then I redouble my efforts. If not then I tell them to their face it is over. In cases where I know someone made a concious decision to betray me then there are no second chances. They are more than likely to find that they, and any sembless of them is has collectively moved to storage. Then they have no reason to come around. I leave and don't look back. Since when I say no it is usually believed I don't get the drama as much as but if I did I wouldn't play around about it. |

Avoiding someone

![]() ![]() Yes because first I wanted to wait until I was sure of my feelings. Because I think above all: love should be a choice; if they do not initiate some intense gut level interest in me I respect the choice that is made; even if it is cowardice. The most frustrating part of dateing is the man who loves from afar and wastes the gift that he has to offer from fear it will be rejected. I know that I am a strong woman and to be happy I need a man who is stronger. Someone who is not intimidated by it and wants to cherish it rather than dominate it. That man I will wait for. |

Window shopping , it happens all the time ![]() You know the rules, no contact, just look ![]() It's actually kind of scary when they do contact me. What the hell do I say to a girl that's only a couple of years older than my daughters?? Knocks me out when guys young enough to almost be my grandsons write me. I know they think of themselves as men and I respect to some extent they are but it is a delicate matter. |

How much is

I don't think there really is a set time frame. I just depends on the people involved. Example - My best friend met her hubby one goofy night, was married just over 2 months later, and have been happily married now for over 17 years. And I also know of people that have been dating for a year or so and still are going slow and easy with things. I tend to be and overly cautious with relationships but sometimes you just know all the way down to your soul when you meet love. I danced twice with my late husband and he told his best friend that he had met the woman he would married after years of being a confirmed bachelor. |
