I just first wanted to say thanx for the very nice supportive posts you gave to me when I was in very dark times. It means a lot...seriously.
About Internet dating...oyyyy. Well, I am a single 33 year old guy, and have had some very, uh, 'eclectic' internet dating experiences. I *always* figure I have to impress who I go out with...even if I have no idea what they look like beforehand. (Like you said...that's not really important anyways.) My last experience was with a gal who, about halfway through our 'date', divulged she was married. (Well...separated...but for two weeks!!!) She really came on strong to me too, but then little details about her situation slipped out and I was just very turned off. You know, I have been told I look young for my age, and I keep myself well, but I *always* end up dating woman who seem to be in some kind of marriage problem, and often aren't even "divorced". I understand that at this age group that is bound to happen, but I am still naive for letting it all happen. I am broke half the time because I like to treat a gal well...and have some fun by going to the 'big city' (In my case..Toronto), and I don't just look for a casual "encounter" by getting some cheap hotel room and plan on spending the day there doing, uh, 'horizontal gymnastics'...heheh. Even for a guy, that is also a very dangerous thing to do these days. Although, as a bit of a joke, having worked in social work, I have a police clearance certificate and I always bring it with me and my i.d. and show it to whomever I am going out with..lol.
So...that leads me to know....lonely and ya a bit sad because of it, but I always keep the spark alive by saying "SOMETHING will come up..", as that has been what got me through my deepest, darkest depressive and anxiety states. And...that is yet another story of a lonely guy hanging out in pixilated space! Maybe I should try Yoga classes?!?! So...what is your sign?...heheee..lol
Peace and light,
Jay
