I have to say that dating at the age 43 has been quite the experience so far...but in a good way. Mostly I've met too many younger men who are only looking for a good time and think it's great to believe he might be meeting a "cougar." UGH! Or there are just some really strange people I just have nothing in common with or do not click with.
Are there any men left who are mature and established who are looking for that special someone? A bff for life with goals and accomplishments without the ego as big as Texas?!
It seems when I do find a guy who is like to get to know he lives half across the states :-/ is that even a possible relationship to start? I don't plan on living in Mn for long and look forward to the day I can be in a much more mild environment and embark on a new exciting chapter in my life.
Is there anyone with the interests in travel, staying fit and healthy, keeping a good connection with God in your life, sex appeal, and a genuine unconditional love for your family and a woman who will always have your back? I don't feel like that's such a tall order.....

Thankfully, my ego isn't as big as Texas.

My ego is merely the size of Alaska.
:angel:


Meh...
In summary, I'm not a decent guy.

First of all welcome to the siteflowerforyou

Second of all I am an Alaskan.laugh .. I also know for a fact where you are at was a lot colder than we were the last couple years.. Was just there about a year ago in Moorehead....

Dating is what you make of it. Think of it as a candy store you have to sample the candy here and there taking care not to over eat and get sick...

Before you know what you want..

You ask how someone can be in a LDR.. I am and it is working out great.. Communication, making sure you allow time to see one another... Being honest and open.. I know of a few couples that are making it work.

We make the best of each second we have together to pull us through till the next time with the end goal in sight as one person will be relocating...

As you state you don't plan on staying in MN for long so doesn't that open up the possibilities..

Good luck

There are some really nice men left. You just have to find the right one for you.

If you don't think LDR will work for you...just look closer to home. Long distance relationships can work...they are what you make them. If you are both wanting and willing to make it work....it will. You just have to get creative with it.

Best wishes and I hope you find what you are looking for.

OH yeah I thought I put it in there. There has to be an understanding who is relocating and when...It has to be a goal from the beginning of moving to the point of co-habitating...

There are loads of great men in the forums. I'd name them but I fear I may miss one or two of them out so maybe wise not too.
I'm not into men so my opinion is neutral but everyone at some point picks one of those ghastly flavoured coffee chocolates out of the box.
The best thing to do is get the bad taste out of your mouth and pick another chocolate until you find the one you like.
Welcome to Mingle.

I know the feeling. Most men here are insensitive and not serious.
