I grew up in an environment of such dire control, narcissism and micro management, that, despite wanting a long term partner, my emotional chemistry won’t allow me to put both feet in. @infopleaseThis is so on point. I have been in love twice and both had issues that were not acceptable for marriage material.
Setting ground rules like nothing below the waist the first time. He is definitely not my “usual type” and it’s working for me. He may not be Mr. Right but he sure is Mr. Right Now. Surrogacy is an option If that’s a concern.
Dating an older man in your 20s and 30s is much different than dating one in your 40s, 50s, and 60s.
I — we all — very much appreciate your comments. While I have not seen the men’s list , from experience I’ve become aware of some of my own weaknesses. I’m honest and loyal but obviously not perfect. Frankly, as I improve at seeing signs of the above list these days, I don’t stick around as long as I used to.
How to Gain Confidence, Attract High-Quality Men and Create Lasting Love FAST
Unfortunately, the saying “opposites attract” is true. Good hearted people attract and, sad to say, are too often attracted to bad people and the bad people just feast on them. That’s alone will keep you single.
Everyone has a perogative and most often more than not being single is a choice. I never had children or a husband and I did come close twice. My reasons are nothing of selfishness and need no explanation. Don’t worry about this topic and other women, just focus on yourself. If it means something is wrong then it’s self reflection because it’s how you feel for yourself.
Hi Esther, so I am a 46 year old divorced male with no kids. … I do not think its a big deal if you guys are a couple, I believe that age is really relative and the time you spend together can be meaningful and valuable. Women want sex even more than men.
Most of it on the wrong places. With my head in the wrong place. And now here I am again 6 months after starting over again. There are several men I know that are sniffing around now that I am single.
You’re at the home buying, 401K saving, family planning phase of life — for MOST 46-year-olds. Hey, if you still have the juice to hang with kids, go crazy. From experience..speaking as an almost 40 female. Outwardly, https://thedatingpros.com/ all the pieces are perfectly in place. Here’s the thing, aside from individual quirks that make us unique, my biggest fear in life was being trapped – by a career, debt, children or legally binding man.
She doesn’t need a man only also feels it could enhance her life with the good match. Others may judge her because of society programing and pressures that their is something wrong with her if shes never been married or doesn’t have kids. Just because she didnt fall for the typical American dream that everyone’s been programed with doesn’t make her wrong for choosing the road less traveled. It also doesnt make her wrong or less of a women for not wanting to have kids. Since she doesn’t have kids or husband to distract her she actively works on improving and getting to know herself, constantly working at self development and healing wounds. She may have a consistent yoga, mediation, spiritual or self care practice where she goes to lots of workshops and retreats and often travels by herself.
There are plenty of men still looking for a best friend they can live their life with. Just get out there and be yourself. I’m sure you’ll find someone who feels the same as you.
@flowersinherhairYou’ve done well my friend. With age, you will lose friends. You will find in time as I did nothing beats having a solid person to share life with be it in marriage or in a LTR.
