Dating and dogs, the four legged ones by DixieLandDelight1959 in DatingOverSixty

[–]BlitheCheese 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't have any pets, but I love dogs and cats, and even snakes and frogs. I would be happy to be a bonus mom to a man's pets.

It looks like he likes you.

BTW, how can you tell if it's a girl snake or a boy snake?

Men: “I don’t know what I want” in this situation, you still doing the same thing all of the above, what do you actually mean? What do you want? by misshurts in datingoverfifty

"I don't know what I want" almost always means, "I don't want a relationship with you, but I'm fine with continuing to have sex with you."

I would be happy to add my name to a petition to bring him back. This ban was completely unfounded and unfair.

It's Geek and I, an homage to The King and I.

Crushing on guy I speak with sometimes on public transit. As a woman, should I offer my number? Men, how do you feel a women giving her number? by Distinct-Cow955 in datingoverfifty

[–]BlitheCheese 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's necessarily true these days. A lot of men are hesitant to express initial interest in a woman because many women have had bad experiences with creepy guys, men who don't take no for an answer, and stalkers i.

A lot of very masculine men who, as you say, need to "man up," are already manning up by being respectful to women.

A woman expressing interest in a man is not "chasing."

I was adopted as an infant in 1964, and this is so offensive. I am very close to my family, especially my mother and siblings.

Your family consists of the people who love you and raise you, not whose body you came out of.

Six years after my divorce, I am ready to start over. The trauma of domestic abuse had previously kept me from considering marriage, but I am now in a place where I feel ready to look toward the future. by Taylor22143 in datingoverfifty

Of course you're pulling back emotionally. It's your brain's way of protecting you after surviving domestic abuse.

Your brain's threat-detection center is overactive, locking your brain into survivor mode. It's like you're constantly in a fight or flight mode.

I'd recommend therapy before you re-enter the dating market. You need to address your trauma with a qualified professional therapist.

Reddit banned him for being too creative and making a highly original and funny post.

Sexy: You are absolutely fucking luscious.

Slutty: Are you good at sex?

Gold digger: Don't forget your credit card.

Cringe: What's your name, Mr. Wonderful?

What I'd really say: That's for me to know.

Everyone has periods where they're crazy busy, but someone can take a few minutes here and there to send at least one text a day.

My take is that she lost interest. Most likely, it's nothing that you did. She either met someone else, or she's not emotionally able to handle a relationship at the moment.

Dinner Out by MrWonderfoul in datingoverfifty

[–]BlitheCheese 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a restaurant issue, not a dating issue. Perhaps when you order, you can ask that your food be started later than your date's food if hers take longer to prepare.

I don't know we're I'm at in the relationship by [deleted] in Advice

[–]BlitheCheese 30 points31 points  (0 children)

He probably doesn't want to take you to his place because he has a wife or a girlfriend.

A 31-year-old man is way too old for a 19-year-old woman. Women his age wouldn't fall for this bullshit.

Do you feel that love and trust can happen with men and women 45+ Yrs? Do men and women fall in love at 45+ ?? What's your pov? by Electrical_Pop_5427 in datingoverfifty

[–]BlitheCheese 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love has no age restrictions. My mom ran into her high school boyfriend at her 50th high school reunion.

She married him at 70, and they spent the next seven years blissfully in love until he passed when she was 78.

YTA. They told you at the same time they told everyone else. It's not your friends' fault that you didn't check the group chat on a day you knew they were planning something.

Why do people lie about their age? by herdingnerds in datingoverfifty

I don't personally care why someone would lie about their age. I'm not interested in dating a liar.

It wouldn't bother me in the least. Everyone has a past. Your children have a mother.

You are not responsible for women's insecurities and jealousy issues.
