Curious about this as someone not from DC. If you were dating someone super busy like a White House aide, how much time would you expect them to make for you? |
Men make time if they like you. Dated public officials from Pentagon and House Representatives. One was divorced with 3kids, he would always bring flowers and stay overnight any day he didn't have kids. He was waking up at 5am to work on his papers and then jumped into bed with me to have sex |
Wut? You're: single childless employed by the fed It's literally impossible that you have 'a lot' going on. |
What were his work hours? What happened with the relationship? |
He often stayed at the office till 9pm, and then we met after hours in downtown, went to night places, chess clubs and had sex. It was very passionate but didn't work out because of different relationship timeline for two of us. He was also a year younger than me, and I behaved very insecure adding tension |
What was the difference in the relationship timeline? He sounds like he was very into moving it forward. |
Yes, he was. It was my own stupid behavior that destroyed it. Nothing related to his job, kids or anything. Just my first relationship post divorce and I went crazy |
About to launch into dating post divorce too. Any advice? How did you meet him, on OLD? |
Yes, on OLD. |
Do you recommend any particular app? |
I’m am similar, 50s , starting in 40s you can see it in men.. DK why women don’t focus more on family health history/ weight, etc.. (rare is the man whose chest is out past his belly). You are looking at the second half of the journey, there is a reason nursing homes are full of small woman. Target a man that will be around, able bodies, THEN, figure out other qualifiers. |
Some guys that age are busy with their kids, their jobs, home maintenance, workouts, etc. a lot of guys are also not great at multi-tasking all of that with dating. I finally ended things with my 48-yo BF because I got tired of never being a priority after almost a year of dating. |
A lot are paying alimony and/or child support to a prior wife and don't look to take on the maintenance/retirement/expense of another new low paid or no job with no retirement middle aged woman. |
NP but I have lived in Dac most of my life and I wouldn’t date a White House aid. Too busy. No point. And if they’re lucky they make maybe 125k a year. |
