i think that's just an excuse guys use when then dont' know what else to say

Well, really, i guess they mean that someone who is high maintenance needs a lot of nuturing and attention.

Oh,I dated someone in the past three yrs. who wanted to be with me 24/7 and when we weren't together I was accused Of messing around.He was to controling from what I wore where we went.Sure I want affection and attention and I will give that in return but not at a cost of my respect for myself.I have ny own career and hobbies and enjoy ''me ''time.

FOR NOW ONLY IN MY DREAMS BUT SOMEDAY I'LL HAVE IT ALL AGAIN.

Dreaming is the only way!!!!(right now )

Some of the things a man loves about a woman

To be able to sit at a kitchen table, and talk to her, watching her, as she goes to the trouble of making a meal from scratch, just for him.

To be able to walk up behind her, wrap his arms around her, and stand there cheek to cheek, feeling her lean back against him, knowing she wants to be there, in his arms.

To be able to hand her a flower, and watch her smile every time she looks at it, because she knows it is a symbol of the love he feels for her.

To see the look of delight on her face, when he has done something he hopes will please her, for then he knows that he has succeeded, and made her happy.

To be able to go to sleep at night, holding her close, knowing she will be there in the morning, and not disappear when the sun comes up, as dreams do. Knowing that her beautiful face will be the first thing he sees, when he wakes up.

To be able to wake up in the middle of the night, and watch her as she sleeps, while he marvels that someone so sweet and precious could love him. To be able to gently caress her cheek, and arm, not wanting to wake her, just wanting to touch Heaven.

To be able to talk to her of things important, and things not so important, to be able to laugh with her over silly things.

To watch a smile spread across her face, when she catches him watching her, as she does the things a woman does.

To see the tears of love she sheds for him, when she has had a really bad day, and she comes home to find he has prepared a candlelight supper, with her favorite meal, just because he loves her.

To have her reach for his hand, intertwining her fingers with his, as they walk side by side, to have her scoot over close beside him, when they get in a car together, and to have her snuggle into his arms when they are sitting on a couch or chair, for then he knows she loves him.

To be able to reach out to her with a look, or a touch, or a phone call, any time, day or night, and know she is there for him, by his side, forever.

Sage maybe I am reading this wrong, feel free to correct me but I get the feeling that you are convinced that you will never love anyone as much as you loved your wife? Myself I hope I meet someone who loves me and I love as much as my late husband.Don't you think your wife would want you to be happy? Is it disrespectful to fall in love again? I have grieved and moved on .Don't think that I am feeling sorry for myself because I'm not.
I read in someones profile where they won't date widows because they couldn't make up their minds as to weither they wanted to date.I don't fit into that catigory.And no I don't expect my dates to be like the one I lost

Carol, you can't offend me.
I date, enjoy times spent with ladies.
I DO NOT see me ever caring for anyone else as much as I do Gwen.
I would feel guilty, not being totally truthful with anyone I happen to date long term.
I have met ladies that didn't understand & ladies that DO understand.
There are other factors that have to be considered: I am giving my house to my son, no home for another woman. I want to spend my last years very close to my grandkids. I am a VERY OPINIONATED old sage. Hard to find a lady that can put up with me 24/7, on a cruise; let alone forever. I really enjoy my life as it is now, has some drawbacks, but over all, pretty decent.

So I just continue being me, an old sage, in his cave, in the forest, doing whatever he wants.
