My attitude needs improvement. It might take some time because I don't want to bring negativity to the next woman I date.

Those are two strong, insightful posts. Put those kinds of thoughts, mentally taking responsibility, into action and you'll make some real progress.


Couldn't rep you cowboy, but you handled yourself well in that exchange.

My mom is 61 and just started dating a 67-year-old. And she's acting like a lovestruck teenager; they both are, actually. So I don't know about that?

Besides! Aren't they just the cutest?: http://s9.postimg.org/vepztkyrz/20160220_160719.jpg

I personally think we all want companionship throughout our lives and it's just a matter of whether we're still able to attract it.

or during Springtime when the birds go crazy trying to find a mate and build a nest.

when women have children they have a different attitude, they seem to feel they completed their mission in life and the feeling of finding love and relationships seems to die down, not the same as when they were young, plus the males tend to lose interest the older the women gets.
This is not my experience at all. People never lose the need to live and feel love.

Now he has completely ruined me for anyone else so if I ever find myself alone again, I will be "done" for real. You can put a fork in it.
Awww..This is sweet. This is what I want. I need him to just show up without having to do the dance.

49hersfan27, you're going to find her.

Or rather, I predict she's going to find you.

And then it's going to be...BAM.

Then YOU can advise all of US.
