Compatibility. After chemistry comes compatibility. After all, while you may have the “hots” for someone, you need to be compatible with them for any long term relationship to work.
Way to often, people who have the hots for each other get married only to discover that that are not compatible. This is one of mother natures unfortunate little tricks. So, when you get the hots for someone, try to stay sane enough to evaluate whether you are really compatible.
Last year, at this time, I was dating a woman who was too overloaded with life. So, she asked for a year moratorium on the relationship just to see where we stand. Well, that year has ended and now it is time to see where we are in the relationship. So, today I sent the “checking in” letter. If nothing else, I at least need closure on this relationship. And my bike back as I left it at her house.
When I first started dating, I bought a dozen small boxes of chocolate to present to my dates. Not only have I blown through the chocolate, I no longer even consider giving it any more. Instead, they get a free meal. Now, they only get chocolate if it is their birthday and we have been dating for several weeks.
I love seeing profile pictures with nice big smiles. Not only does it show me that this person is happy, it also gives me a chance to look at their teeth.
Here we go again. What are these people thinking when they post their photos? I recently saw one where the woman had her tongue hanging out of her mouth. No, she wasn’t sticking out her tongue. It was more like she was breathing through her mouth!
I consider a picture of a woman with her tongue hanging out in the same category as a woman with her finger up her nose. HELLO!!??
Recently, I discovered that a woman, on one of my dating websites, goes to my church. So, it seemed like a natural to ask her out. But, every time that I asked, she had a million excuses to decline. I soon got the idea that she really wasn’t interested in dating me.
When I told a friend of mine from church about the dilemma, he told me not to take it personally.
Not to take it personally??!! How else should I take it? She is not going out with me because of something personal about me.
Well, I am not surprised. I met her on Christian Mingle and Christian Mingle is home to the curious and not the serious.
I had a very good marriage. And, while we did have our fights, they were few and far between. Instead, we made love.
But, there is no guarantee that I will have that kind of relationship with my next partner. And, that worries me.
Since we didn’t not fight much, I am not good at it as I lack the practice. Unfortunately, my next partner may be a pro at it especially if she has been through an ugly divorce. So, if I am not careful, I could get eaten alive!
And while I know that I shouldn’t let any thing surprise me, it still happens from time to time. And such was the case the other evening.
I really don’t like emailing to people. I would much rather talk face to face. So, after a few correspondences with a woman I met on line, I decided to ask her out for dinner. That is when she said that she doesn’t drive.
Right away, warning bells went off in my head. Did she lose her license? And if so, why? She then went on to say that she started having seizures 30 years ago and hasn’t driven since.
Well OK. Doesn’t drive, has seizures, unemployed, I don’t think so.
I met a woman on one of the curious dating sites. We quickly discovered that we attend the same church. And, while she was polite, she had a million excuses for not going out with me. But, as fate would have it, we ended up at the same two day seminar.
As soon as she saw me, she retreated to the other end of the meeting room. She even went so far as to move her chair so that she couldn’t see me.
Well OK! If that is the way she is going to behave, then I don’t really want to date her. I am only interested in dating adults.
Once again, profile names. I recently ran across a woman who called herself “2 Ton Fatty”. Well, OK, talk about low self esteem!
