HELP divorcing how do I meet new people.

“but she gets negative points for lack of originality.

DDX & pixie - I think this might be a match made in........Lord & Taylor?

Perhaps you should fly out there, DDX? Ticket can be more than a few weeks of shoe shopping.

;)”

“depends on how expensive the shoes are...”

“STP is having a shoe sale”

“Pixie-- does that mean you're "girlfree-ends"?”

“Say what?!
What is "girlfree-ends?"”

“girlfriends I think”

“damn...I missed it all huh?!!
here my 2 cents:

all the nice guys are....TADA!!!!! NOT nice!! They pretent to be nice, but don't believe them. Use them like they tried to use you!!

Okay...now guys... not a word!! grin.

did I miss it, or did really NONE of you ask for a picture?

“hi from houston, want to meet people with similar backpacking interests, hope im posting this right”

“I'll bite.

Can I get a new picture of you gemini?”

“Pixie--
I couldn't put the southern drawl in writing, so that's why I said "Girlfree-ends"...

Maybe I should have said
"Gurlfrands"... ;-)”

“Not true, Gemini... I found a VERY nice guy! :)”

“DeoreDX, only if you marry me. then you'll get a nudy pic. moahhhhh”

“*falls out of his chair*”

“DX has way more than he can handle right now..

“Ok, just caught this:

It was her idea, just an addition to her betrothed”

“Define older women........”

“In my case, all women born before 7:03AMEST, Dec. 17, 1962.”

“Bit...you are too young for me:(”

“Reconciliation prolly seems like a good idea after this.”

“Shame on you! You guys have scared Everestnut away.


Tomcamping, welcome! You might have better luck if you start your own new thread. Your post kind of got buried here.”

“Haven't scared my away...yet. Just takin it all in.”

“Whew!!! Thought all you straight girls were gonna turn gay here! Ya know, turn gay, like ya turn left or right...it's just a direction. I've always wanted to go to New York. And I have never been on the West Coast. Southwest either. I was in Minnesota once and loved it. Let me know what ya'll decide to do. I'll buy the beer.”

“haha, sorry Wolfie
needing a wife and turning gay are 2 entirely different things(on this thread)”

“What about the online sites for meeting people? Yahoo has one. I think you can find it on yahoo.com and go to "personals", and it may be free.

Then there is match.com where you pay, but I think you can put in your zip code first and see who is available. Then there is eharmony.com. They are advertising alot. They seem to stress filling out an indepth questionnaire to best come up with someone that will suite you. I don't know if they let you cruise the site first.

When you reach a certain age, it's too late for bars unless they are some kind of lounge that may cater to older people or go to a bar on oldies night, but not too old. It depends on what they mean by oldie music.

I always heard to what you like to do and meet someone while you are doing it, but that doesn't always work. I married when I was still young enough to be in the bar scene so I have not tried anything new, like maybe I would try online services or bookstores.

The thing I don't like about grocery store picks ups or any type of pick up where you don't know who the person is that so many people are dating someone already. I think that people who are seriously dating someone need to wear rings. That would solve the problem that single people have. You can approach single people all day long in bookstores, parks, grocery stores, but how many are free. I would hate to have to ask so many people out and find out they are dating already.”

“Yeah you need to go to matchmaker.com or singles.com
plenty out there for the likes of someone who wants a PARTNER”

“why do you need to date anyway? Do what you like doing with people you like doing it with. The rest will follow. You can't make someone special materialize at your beck and call. It has to happen in its own time.”

“hyway speaks the truth. I was gonna try the eharmony thing, but about a half hour into their stupid questionaire I really lost interest.

Just be yourself, do what you wanna do - and if your ever in Northern Colorado, look me up.

“My very active son tried the on-line services (after ending a five-year relationship with a girl that was very adventurous). He found some nice girls and dated some a couple of times. However, he said that none of them ended up having interesting life experiences...nothing to talk about.

Now he is snow boarding, skiing, bowling, and rock climbing almost every week, often with female friends and coworkers. He is meeting girls, but nothing serious has happened yet. I think his flurry on the dating web sites was more therapy than anything else.”

WOW
are you making wolfie eyes at me?

*wink wink*”

“That's treebeard, posing as maple”

“Just a quick THANKS for your "advice" and most of all for making me laugh...greatly appreciated.”

“I haven't read all 180 posts, but have you heard of speed dating? You go during an evening and meet up to 12 people and spend 6ish minutes talking to them and if you like them and they like you, you get their contact info. I am intrigued, if you meet someone icky instead of spending a whole date with him/her 6 minutes later poof no more icky person!”

“wow, 6 minutes, i like that idea, don't have to worry about small talk”

“wow, i went in to the living room to turn off the t.v. and the detective drama that was on involved the subject of speed dating...an unknown subject thrown at me 2x in less than 60 seconds
IS THIS A SIGN? Do I run or do i jump in”

“jump! And give us a trip report.”

“6 minutes? I don't like the idea myself. Some of the nicest people I know would proably have a hard time making an "impression" before 6 minutes. Seems very superficial imho.”

“pictures to share?

Actually, this really is a great place to just hang out and meet some really disturbed people. After all, we are talking on the internet. Even those with wives and husbands are talking to internet freakos...present company included...

Anyway...welcome and try and go on a TT trip. At the least, you might have fun and not be alone, at the best, you might meet someone you really click with.

and remember this...lonliness is a destructive thing...being alone isn't.”

“6 minutes? I am not gonna go there.”

“haha

I don't think I'd like the whole six minute thing, but i guess you'd have nothing to lose.”

“really now...I think if you're single...hey... why not. I wouldn't go there with the thought in my mind to find my next husband though. I mean...honestly...6 minutes?

Lets make it a TT trip.”

“Phil, I have two opinions on "dating" for fun and for relationships. If you spend too much time with the wrong person just to have a partner for fun....then you are wasting time for finding the right person, but it can get lonely just dating people that meet the criteria you set up to be real realationship people.

But on the other hand, a person can get attached to someone they are "dating" for fun and end up in a long dead end relationship.”

“lipstick - You described what happened to my son perfectly. In fact, it may be what also happened to my daughter who ended a 4 year relationship a few months ago. She hung on several years longer than she should have.”

“Phil, not everyone is lucky enough to find the right person early on, and breaking up as the song says is hard to do, especially if you moved in with the person. Packing up all your stuff if you are the one to move can be an overwhelming ordeal.”

“LH, r u lookin? J/K mohaaaaaaaa1”

“Hey, WOW, I was gone and missed all this... and my name was taken in vain in like the first 10 posts. LMAO!

Everestnut, come to the Yellow River trip. We'll grab some guys and go man huntin' We've got some new specimens for that trip. LOLOLOL! ;-P”

“I won't yell, I promise. I might yip a bit and bite my lower lip, but I won't complain.”

“jerbear, if I were a man, I would be saying that I'm always looking, lol:) You know the old phrase, "I'm married, but I'm not dead".

No, I'm not looking, but the personals are everywhere, and I know someone that met a decent guy from match.com. It's good to keep your eye on what's going on out there:)”

“I always know what's between me and the door, BTW.”

“I am SERIOUSLY thinking about going on that trip. Sounds great. Not sure how up I am for man hunting right now but I can route you on.”

“Does she get to keep her new body parts?”
