Also.
Oof. X-wife used to watch that a lot. It was part of my Real Housewives hockey pregame. Good stuff to fill the rage meter. Back to lurking for me. I've no real advice; could never be arsed to deal with the dating scene. Gives me anxiety just thinking about it. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

If you just want to date and not get serious, wear a wedding ring. I've heard men say they never had more action than after they got married. Women love to think they're stealing another woman's man. And you're safe, you won't want a permanent thing because you already have one. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

No worry's about missing an anniversary, birthday or family get to gethers. Don't have to pretend to care about her kids or family. It's great. She won't complain when you want to go play in Vegas. Probably never have to sleep together or make closet space. Just surmising. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Just a couple generations ago, people got married just so they could screw around. Didn't worry about getting pregnant, no DNA tests. No worry about your reputation as a virgin, you were married. Lots of men only date married women, no worries of them getting tricked into marriage. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | It would be a mistake to believe that all of those relationships lack value, quality, and depth. Most single people are angling. Take someone who has everything to lose, and you can safely get spiritually intimate. The conversation at that level can be really deep, and might even improve the marriage. Some things you just can't tell a spouse without ruining a marriage . The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

aceofspades Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 83 Posts: 2019 | UPDATE Woman #1 -- Well, she finally emailed me back to tell me she would love to grab drinks with me but that she "just found" out she was pregnant so she would not be imbibing in any alcohol when we got together Woman #2 -- Yesterday, as I was sitting on the train, she walked through my train car, made eye contact with me, quickly averted her eyes, then proceeded walking through to the next train car |

Yup, You hit her with too much too soon, now she's spooked. If she's that skittish and easily put off, you don't want her anyway. As far as the pregnant one, the fact that she told you she's with child and still wants to see you, means she's looking for a dad for the kid. Uh oh.. Never rode on a train. What a fun life you have.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
