Yeah, elusive like trying to feed a wild fox or flying squirrel, comes close- takes the cookie out of my hand, scampers away. Then waiting at the window. I think men are actually more afraid then women of relationships.

Women can be mean as hell too.
Fear of rejection and all that rot.
After 25 years "off the market" I was downright scared to ask a woman out. Dating in the '90s seemed so much different than it was in the '60s. I didn't feel secure until I picked her up and she was actually in the car with me.
That may sound pitiful at age 50 but it was what it was.

No not at all mate
People that have been in a very long term relationship say 10/20 years for example if it breaks up then they will be very out of touch and in effect new to dating .....
It's a very valid point and one that gets overlooked

Thank you! I was off the market for 27 years and was decidedly out of touch.
It IS very nerve-wrecking (dating, I mean). These forums are proof. If a person uses "the wrong word", they can be in trouble. It's completely silly, and the world has gone crazy.

To be honest I wouldn't put too much stamp in these forums my love..... I can't think of anyone that has this much trouble in dating with quite a few of the people on here ...... If honest it's mostly self inflicted and not too true to reality.
How are you keeping gel? .... Again for you WE are ALL here for anything Hun

As time goes on, people become more discerning and more demanding. At the same time they become more distant. If you don't fit their idea of what they want or deserve right off the top you're out of the car. That's one of the problems of posting a profile. People blow one another off before ever meeting and getting to know them. That's why I'm a fan of finding dates the old fashioned way, face-to-face and in common settings whether it be work related, socially thanks to mutual interests or friends, at venues of common pursuits, etc. It breaks the ice, you already have a commonality and therefore something you can begin talking about and get to know the person. Then you either click or you don't. Better than bad dates!

LOL, no doubt. I found out very recently that we need to be sure to use the exact correct PC words.
I think that some people really do get off on the power trip of shaming others and having that pious moral high ground proudly lecturing from atop of their soapboxes running around playing social justice warrior, especially from the safety of their computers. I see it a lot in the POC forum especially.
