How is everybody tonight. I just turned 54 today and I was sitting here alone and was wondering where I went wrong. I don't think any of us when we were (young and dumb)thought that at this age we would be alone and still trying to find that one person who wants to spend the rest of our lives together. I don't get this computer dating . If you finally get someone to answer you how fast do you push it. If you write too much they think your pushy or a clinger. If you play it kind of cool then you are not really interested. I can tell more about a person by talking than from a few lines on a computer. this way there is no emotion in the words. A person can take their time and try to figure out what you want to hear instead of telling you what they really think. What do you all think?

altje	10/21/2009 4:47:16 AM Hi Rick, Just be yourself, relax and enjoy meeting new people. There are a lot of nice people here, not all are so judgmental and picky. And yes, as Geogia said, this kind of dating is different.
aroselver	10/21/2009 7:40:11 AM Happy Birthday Rick~! Sorry you had to spend it alone. A lot of us do at this age. Way back when we were young, we didn't bother with the "interview date", we spent time getting to know someone in person and eventually fell in love. Now it's all done through cyperspace. The only advice I can give you is to not start an email relationship. Send your phone # right away and have a conversation. If you click with someone over the phone, then ask to meet. Don't waste your time with back and forth emails or phone calls. The only way to get to know someone is face to face. I've read too many stories on here of people having email relationships, never meeting, or finally meeting and finding out the other person is not who they said they were. Good luck.
okiemt	10/21/2009 7:52:31 AM Sounds like playing games to me, lots of that here...I agree with what you are saying. Why can't we just say or do as we really feel/think without feeling the need to plan everything or second-guess the other person and still have respect for others. Everyone wants the other person to be honest, but are they willing to be the same...I am and expect the same. I'm still fairly new at this too though and still learning...the hard way sometimes. The really great part is the many friends you make in the meantime. Hang in there, it ain't all bad.
