NRG42 - 2012-09-21 2:46 PM I am out of control today with candy today, and it's not even holloween yet. 

Today?

What's with all the monosyllabic responses of late?

Today is two syllables.

True

what is with all the single word responses then.  Tongue out

Just picking up on stuff in threads, like Cheri used the word "today" twice so I asked. "Today?" Just having some fun at other peoples expense. That's how I do.

so you are just being a nuudge today.

Today?

Well I don't want to force you to plan too far ahead.

I meant that as in why should today be different than every other day?

Too bad you stuck it out there and I had my own way with it!

I'm sticking it out again....

You might want to be careful what you do with that or I might wear it out.

You know that dating thread makes me glad I don't have to date any more.  It makes me really glad I never dated women.

Yep, the thought of dating scares me.

Being married to the wrong person for me was way worse. 

Amen sister!

Most morning (not all) when I wake in my clean, fresh smellling soft bed all cozy and warm, I feel like it is christmas morning.  

So being married to the wrong person prevented you from having a clean, fresh smellling soft bed all cozy and warm?

prevented me from doing a lot of things.

Be glad that you don't have to. 

Some of us .. here and on the dating thread, have been forced into the situation of having to date to find companionship by no fault of our own.  And it sucks balls.  So be grateful that you have found someone to be with.

Oh I am!!!

I just think all the check list and he must be X,Y,and Z stuff is pretty petty.  How about he must be good to me and leave it at that.  I find it is the surprises that mean more than checklists.

Checklists have me feeling inadequate...  I never seem to live up to them.  It's sort of awkward to think you are a good person and have a lot to offer and still not be good enough.

That typically gets you a second date. At least with me it would.

You would think.  Not so much.

Yeah well Pitts pretty easy.

I was wondering about the checklists.  If I know I don't check off every box, I stop trying.  What's the point, right?

So girls, if they guys DOESN'T hit every item on the checklist, you would prefer they don't even try anymore?  So they guy that makes 90k instead of 100, just keep on walking?

But you are married.  If you weren't you might have something on your new checklist based on what you didn't have in your last relationship.  Ex. for me .. I will NEVER do a long distance relationship EVER again.  Even if I meet him down the street and we form a great relationship and he gets a job out of town .. nope.  I'm done.  THAT is now a new item on my checklist based on my past experience of what did not work for me.  It's hard for a happily married people to understand this.  It's very hard to date as an older adult after being divorced .. with kids ..  and careers.  I am old enough to know what I do NOT want and I won't settle.  And if that means I am alone .. that's just fine. Would rather be alone and happy than with someone and miserable.

I understand...  I think I have items that are deal breakers, rather than "must  haves".

I guess it's just my own insecurities talking.  What I'm thinking is weird, and this is an ABSURD example....  Is if some ex convict, ex porn star, crack ho who lives with her pimp and her 27 kids has a checklist and I don't drive a nice enough car, so I'm not "good enough" for her...

Really?  It's odd not feeling good enough for someone you have no interest in or can do better than...  But why I should even let that bother me, is my issue.  Not theirs.

Every guy wants an Angelina Joli or Gisselle.  But guess who GETS them.  The Brad Pitts and Tom Bradys...  Not the comic book collector who lives in the basement of his mom's house at 52 years of age.

I didn't get married until I was 35 so I had time.  I still had very few nevers, like not dating an alcoholic, but things like triathlete, younger, older, sense of style, stuff like that.  I just never thought that way.

You know that dating thread makes me glad I don't have to date any more.  It makes me really glad I never dated women.

Yep, the thought of dating scares me.

Be glad that you don't have to. 

Some of us .. here and on the dating thread, have been forced into the situation of having to date to find companionship by no fault of our own.  And it sucks balls.  So be grateful that you have found someone to be with.

Oh I am!!!

I just think all the check list and he must be X,Y,and Z stuff is pretty petty.  How about he must be good to me and leave it at that.  I find it is the surprises that mean more than checklists.

Checklists have me feeling inadequate...  I never seem to live up to them.  It's sort of awkward to think you are a good person and have a lot to offer and still not be good enough.

But you are married.  If you weren't you might have something on your new checklist based on what you didn't have in your last relationship.  Ex. for me .. I will NEVER do a long distance relationship EVER again.  Even if I meet him down the street and we form a great relationship and he gets a job out of town .. nope.  I'm done.  THAT is now a new item on my checklist based on my past experience of what did not work for me.  It's hard for a happily married people to understand this.  It's very hard to date as an older adult after being divorced .. with kids ..  and careers.  I am old enough to know what I do NOT want and I won't settle.  And if that means I am alone .. that's just fine. Would rather be alone and happy than with someone and miserable.

I understand...  I think I have items that are deal breakers, rather than "must  haves".

I guess it's just my own insecurities talking.  What I'm thinking is weird, and this is an ABSURD example....  Is if some ex convict, ex porn star, crack ho who lives with her pimp and her 27 kids has a checklist and I don't drive a nice enough car, so I'm not "good enough" for her...

Really?  It's odd not feeling good enough for someone you have no interest in or can do better than...  But why I should even let that bother me, is my issue.  Not theirs.

Every guy wants an Angelina Joli or Gisselle.  But guess who GETS them.  The Brad Pitts and Tom Bradys...  Not the comic book collector who lives in the basement of his mom's house at 52 years of age.

I don't want either of them, and technically it's my grandmother's house.

oooo, do you have the latest Spiderman?

jford2309 - 2012-09-21 3:32 PM If my wife ever left me and I started dating again, I think I would be in serious trouble

Yeah I'm thinking I would be alone for a very long time.  I am OK with that.

I pretty much had given up on dating and was focused on my son and school when I met my husband.  He was my study partner and "way to young at 19, he had nothing to his name but a car and some pots and pans, but he made me smile and he was a good man and one day I looked at him and thought Hmmmmm.  I liked who he was without saying he has to be this or that before I would even give him a chance.  We have had our ups and downs but 15 years later we are still here.
