Where to begin

Quote From: boxer3

I can't say as I have even done something like this before but, here it goes. I am a single 30 year old mom. I was married at 17, and divorced at 23. I guess I never really dated so I am at a loss of where I should begin. I am a full time college student, which keeps me very busy and a bit on the broke side. I don't have the money to go out to the dating scene. I am tired of being single, I have had 4 dates in the last 6 years. What are some suggestions?

Well, I never have had much luck w/internet dating but I know others who have. I just sang in a wedding in December and she met her husband on match.com. You really wouldn't have to have a lot of money to do that. When you meet people, you can just go to a coffee shop to meet the first time and then it's time for the guy to ask you out, and start courting you by paying for the date! I have a personal on one of the sites and I keep it on there so at least I can pretend to communicate w/the opposite sex. It's a way to pass time for me. Just a suggestion.

PARTY

Quote From: singer7

Ok, I'm blonde and not the most savvy about computer stuff but I will ask them about this if someone will tell me how to accomplish what we want here. (As if they are waiting w/bated breath on my contact efforts towards them) Ha ha LOL!

Ya never know if ya don't try! The worst that can happen is they don't read it or they say no!

I haven't mentioned this to Dr. Phil or Robin yet. How do we go about that. Do we just email them and tell them we want to party with them? or what????

Let me know, if no one wants to do that, because I will.

This sounds like fun

tried of being single

Hello! My name is Judy. I am 31 yrs old. I am still single. I am from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I am fairly new to calgary. I have lived here about 6 months and I dont have any single friends to go out and do stuff with. I have tried speed dating and online dating and I have had no luck finding my true love. I was wondering if there is any single woman that would be interested getting together for movies and other stuff. I hope to hear from you soon. My email is: jlomayer@shaw.ca

Tired of Being Single

Quote From: aquaswim47

I forgot to ask if you ever wanted children. It is still possible at this age, although far less likely than at a younger age, since the cap is between 46-55 (some younger & some older). I think that is something to bring up. I am a person who likes honesty. Maybe you could get a sperm donor if you wanted to have kids. If you do not want kids, but want a relationship, keep trying. If you want marriage, honesty is best, but if you want a one-night stand, than its all an act. Remember that! Its your choice.

Nathan

ya know there are alot of kids already born in need of love and guidance, some have been taken away from drugged out mothers who are to far into their own world to care, love and nuture a child, check with your local human services center, its a thought and worth a try. A child of your own making is a gift from GOD, loving an unwanted child is your gift to GOD.

Great, now we are all going to cross our fingers and everything else that will cross and say all our prayers ..........................what else can we do? Should we each send an email so they get swamped w/emails about the same subject? to show interest by more than one person?

Need Advice Part II

Quote From: nahmi2005

Here it goes: I've met a guy, it's like meeting me, he seems great, attractive, good sense of humor, good job, etc., etc., he's asked me out, but due to circumstances on both our parts we haven't had the first date yet, it been postponed?. It has taken a year to get this far people! I was attracted to him right away. I didn't know if he was single or not. We'd see each other in the community, say hello. I've got to admit I've had a lot going on in my life in the past year, lots of changes. I honestly wouldn't have had the time to give someone. Now I do, we just began flirting a couple of months ago and he just asked me out two weeks ago. No rush on my part either. I've given him my phone number, he hasn't called. I've called him twice, both conversations were great, we talked for an hour. He comes out to my job to visit me and stops in to visit over the noon hour on a daily basis. I am 51, single, not bad looking, divorced since 1981, had some skirmishes but I wasn't a 'gift' at the time either. I am so out of practice, I don't have a clue what to do next. How do I get to the first date? HELP ME! And yes I've read 'he's just not that into you" there's definitely some grrrrrrrrrrr going on here. I need advice. Do I keep calling, do I back off? There are other interested fellas, just not my type (drinkers, players, etc.) Anyway I'm ready to take it to deep like (no sex). Anybody....somebody....?

Here's an update and the deal breaker people! He drinks, no he binge drinks. I have 14 years of recovery as of January 18, 1992, my biological birthday also, so this can't happen, even if he decided to quit right now, I won't put my life on hold to 'wait and see' if he can sober up. I read Dr. Phil's book, I feel stronger and better. I haven't got a complete plan as of yet, but as I keep re-reading parts, I'm getting it. I know what the 80% will be. I will meet my husband ...soon. Today I got eye-kisses from a Robert Redford look-a-like! That felt great! YESSSS!!!! More later

Love Smart

I ordered the book 2 days ago and am waiting eagerly for it to arrive! I also talked with my mother last night about my dating situation - it's kind of cool because she's 27 years older than me and has all that extra life experience to offer. Her advice to me was to allow any new relationship to develop at a slow pace. She said a house built slowly on careful foundations will last a long time and weather any storm.

So my new watchword is Dignity - I will behave like a dignified lady, not a desparate one! It's vital that a man respect me and treat me like a lady, or he won't think much of me if I encourage or allow anything else. I don't need another notch on the bedpost, I need a genuine, loving, respectful realationship, and that is the most important thing to me.

Re: The Party, if Dr P asks one of his people to read this section of the boards I'm sure he'd see that this is something worth thinking about :-) Thank you for emailing him Cindy!
