Quote From: vlinderbyI keep losing my page after I type a paragraph...its testing my patience here.....
Here we go, I was trying to say before that you ladies crack me up sometimes. Especially you Sharon. I am however very glad to hear that you are still smiling and moving on from guy #1....he wasn't worth your time. So now on to the other stuff......
- First of all Sharon, you sort of know a little bit how I feel about the age difference thing. The oldest guy I dated in a steady relationship was only 6 years older than myself however I did once go out with a guy who was 15 years older (one date only) he was a great catch just not my cup of tea. The youngest guy I dated was 10 years younger than myself. We didnt split due to age though...it was other factors. Anyway, some younger men can be "mature" enough to handle the relationship whereas others are not. Also, the younger man can give a woman many things that she may be missing in her life (not just great sex). I would also like to add that times are starting to change though when it comes to the older woman/younger man....we have Demi to thank for that....the May/December romance....can give back some women exactly what they been missing.....it is to each their own though. I do agree with Cindy though....I couldnt go too old or too young...............but remember, it the terms of true love we dont always have that control since it is also in the hands of a much higher power...some things simply are meant to be in this lifetime. I know that is a bit deep so we dont have to get too much into that at the moment........
- I forgot what else I wanted to mention to you now...wow I must be tired. Ohhhhhhhh I got it! That guy who's profile you were checking out did seem conceited but he was right when he said that is one way of knowing when someone could REALLY be interested. It sounds like you are having some fun now with Match....im very proud of you for not sulking. It shows how strong you are.
If you could though refresh my memory about your soldier friend. I had a soldier pen pal who was in Iraq for a year and lets just say it was a great homecoming when he was back to stay. Any chance he could be a potential partner???????Men in uniforms are quite refreshing to the eyes......I may have my fiance dress up in one just for a little fun.....just joking...he looks great in his tie (LOL and in the other stuff too)....I do believe I am feeling quite happy today. Can anyone tell :D
Anyway I hope you are all having a good day and I will look forward to more posts. Take care............vlinderby aka Nancy
Hi Nancy aka Vlinderby. Yes, I'm not going to sit around sulking about guy #1 ( even though it does hurt). As the saying goes, time heals all wounds. This will just take time.
As for as you called him my "soldier friend." I noticed his profile on match and I thought that he was very cute. He had a great profile too. Only bad thing, he's in Virginia and I'm in Georgia. But I said, what they hey, send him an e-mail anyway. I told him that he had a beautiful smile (I'm a sucker for a great smile) and that although he's there, and I'm here, if he felt like chatting to go ahead and e-mail me. I got a response back from him. He said thanks for the compliment and that he was familiar with where I live because he has a cousin who lives about 15-20 miles from me. Then he told me that he wasn't currently in Virginia, he was in Afghanistan. However, he plans on retiring in Atlanta in 6 years. Needless to say, I was blown away. Blown away because I had now put a face ( a gorgeous one at that) on one of our boys that's fighting over there. It was a sobering experience for me ( especially considering that I'm a Persian Gulf War Veteran myself). Anyway, I do think about him and I pray for him. Well, I sent him out an e-mail yesterday just to tell him that I hope he is well and that he is in my prayers. He sent me an e-mail back and we criss-crossed e-mails for a little bit. As for your question, could he be a potential partner? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. Don't know enough about him yet to make that judgment call. However, when he comes home on leave at the end of June, yes I would like to meet him. If he comes to Georgia to see his cousin, maybe I'll get the opportunity.
As for the May/December romance thing, I have to admit I asked the question for a reason. I posted about a guys profile who caught my attention. His profile was perfect ( as if it was written just for me) BUT, he's 22 years older than myself. AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!! He's two years younger than my mother. I sent him an e-mail anyway, complimenting him on his profile, and telling him that hopefully I will find a guy my age with a profile like his. He e-mailed back. Then we spent the bulk of the day e-mailing back and forth. I got brave and called him last night. We just had a nice, friendly,comfortable conversation that now leaves me wondering if I should or shouldn't abandon my own age rule. Hmmmm..... I'm supposed to talk to him later tonight, and you know what's scary, I'm looking forward to it. (I'm such a naughty girl- Shame on me) Lots to consider here.- Will keep you posted.
Anyway, everything else is okay today. It's a beautiful day in Georgia (mid 70's). Hope all is well with you.
Sharon in Ga. aka wuvinlife
