FreeFoto.com Once upon a time . . . It was really cool for an older man to date a young hot chick, but you never saw a hot older woman dating a young stud - unless she was rich or an actress (or both). Well, the times – they are a changing. Along with the birth of women’s liberation came equality between the sexes. It’s now quite common to see older women in relationships with younger men, and

Reaching for the beautiful flower, Carey gushed, “I had better watch out for thorns.“ but as the

Online dating can be likened to surfing the treacherous monster waves in Hawaii, diving off the mega cliffs in Mexico, swimming across the English Channel, or taking a dip in shark infested waters. Sure, you hope it will be a fun and exciting adventure to laugh about later. But what is online dating really like? While keeping a journal of my online dating experiences I have met some truly

How honest are you on your internet profile? Are you willing to embellish in order to attract interest? If you are truly honest on your online dating site, will anybody contact you? Can you really put yourself out there for the world to see and not scare people away? When I wrote my online dating profile, I made every effort to be honest, factual and real. It can be very uncomfortable to

I have been on an online dating hiatus for a year now, and the time has come to decide if I want to end it and move on, or continue with my quest for self fulfillment. This year away from online dating has been a real eye opener! I have learned a great deal about myself, my strengths, my virtues and I have increased my confidence. When I was always in a "relationship", it made things cloudy,

I saw something on TV the other day that I found intriguing (I know that’s hard to believe- something interesting on TV . . . but I digress). Somebody wrote a book about the merits of taking a break from dating. You are supposed to use that time productively by writing a list of what you are looking for in a mate, and another list of what you would like to avoid. This will help you “get in touch

New to the online dating scene, I sat basking in my own apprehensive anxiety. The quaint local restaurant bar swarmed with businessmen taking advantage of happy hour. The few women there were all with men and I monopolized the position of single available woman. Although I am sure I blended into the crowd, I felt like I had a neon light flashing “Single, alone, and looking for action” across my

COMPATIBLE CHEMISTRY CONFUSION!!!! Online dating can be a lot of fun, but every time I make arrangements to meet someone I have met on my online dating site, I am a little apprehensive. Even if we have been conversing by email or instant messaging, or even by phone for awhile, there is no way of knowing if the chemistry will be right or not, until you actually meet. I believe that chemistry

Okay. I admit it. Online dating did not get me a date with Tom Selleck. In this picture he's actually a wax figure of the real Tom, but he does remind me of some of my online dates. I'm sure you have all had an online date with someone who has closely resembled a wax figure. They don't show their true personality until you've been out a few times and even then they don't have much to say. Aside

Halloween is the perfect time to meet someone for a first online dating rendezvous. You get to sport a costume, and do some role-playing. Let’s face it. You’re going to do some acting on a first online date anyway, so go with the flow and have some fun with the pretense. I once heard somebody say that the costume you choose for Halloween shouts to the world the person you really want to be. So

"Watch out, mom! There's a shark in the water!"My son stood on the shore waving his arms like red flags, desperately trying to get my attention. Looking over my shoulder I saw the black, ugly fin circling around me, slowly checking out the menu for his next meal. Switching into over drive, my adrenalin pumping faster than my heart, I swam towards shore like there was no tomorrow (and there

At my age it becomes a little more difficult to find a good man. It doesn't matter how attractive I am for a woman of my age, how much exercise I get, or how many miles I run on the treadmill. It is difficult to compete with someone half my age with a double D boob job. Going to a MEET MARKET can be pretty frustrating. The men there that are my age are all futilely chasing some 25 year old

So, there I was back in the dating world. Nothing great had come of it. I think I had either conversed with, dated or been rejected by just about every man on my online dating site between the ages of 40-60. There seems to be slim pickin's out there. But I was having some fun with the whole thing.So who decides to walk, no, forcibly inject himself, back into my newly independent single life? My

Hey, ya-all! Let's all put our hats and boots on and click our heels at the Lonely Cowboy!Watch out for the cowboys! They would much rather be spending the evening riding Shadow (their horse) under the starry night sky, than taking a woman out for a romantic evening. Their idea of romance is a cold beer in a smoke filled honky tonk. We've all probably had some interesting experiences with cowboys

Good morning! Isn't it a lovely day? No hurricane's outside, and not even a drop of rain! Here in Florida, the hurricane's tend to control our lives, to a certain extent. But this is suppose to be about dating . . .I seem to remember dating, from the distant past. There was a time when I was quite busy on the dating scene. Of course, I have changed a lot since then.

I signed up for a new dating service today. I am hoping this one is better then the last. This one is free, so that makes it better already!I can't believe I have already received a rejection. Any rejection is a hurtle to jump over. My first rejection was in 3rd grade when Georgie chose my friend Susan over me, chasing and kissing her. She hated it and so did I.

"Today is the first date of the rest of your life!" So Cliche, and yet so true.I have been a member of an anonymous dating service for a while now. The response has been going from good to lukewarm. My question is this : What is the point of having you fill out this big long commentary about what you are looking for in a man? Does anyone even look at it? The service sends me a list every few days
