What is it with all of these wineries, micro breweries, tap houses, distilleries and the sort taking over everywhere you turn? I'm not for abolition and I'm not a prude, but with all of these popping up everywhere, it's starting to look like people drink more than they work!

my friend is in the same position. When she says something in wanting of a future I don't say stuff like like you have time, try this try that. I usually just say you will have a family. Just believe that. You will meet somebody.
There was a seminar I saw online recently abt how to network when single and I sent it to my friend. Surprisingly she was very grateful. I think it is hard out there. Btw, my friend is hugely successful, very tall and very pretty. I don't get it. I think she may just be too confident.

Very tall is not a good thing in the dating world - take it from someone who is five eight. It means I am taller than many of the men in this town.

She could move to Haymarket, Va., as it seems every guy there is at least six feet tall!

You sound like you're a nice size and you have a great attitude! Too many men these days are overweight and looking for a skinny Minnie. I, personally, go after a great attitude first, then everything else seems to work itself out on its own. Stay cool, OP! You'll eventually find a good guy and it might take some time, but you'll find him!

Next time give them something to stare at! When you catch them, subtly hold up a small handheld sign that states "ASD, educate yourself!"

I don't think that true alcoholic can ever be "cured" of their alcoholism. With that said, someone really has to want to help themselves before they take any actions seriously.

I had a friend drink himself to death, but it wouldn't have happened if he didn't have a neighbor that was an enabler. He gave her his credit card and she was buying him a huge bottle of wine everyday. I guess he made a deal with her that she could also use his card to buy herself things too.

Regardless, he died, what looked to be, a painful death once I got him to the hospital!

You would be doing your loved one a favor at this point!

The best time with your animals is when you get them and the worst time is when you say goodbye! Whether they feel it or not is unknown, but it sure looks peaceful when they get the final shot. I chose to be there and talk to and pet mine, but you don't have to be in the room when they do it.

BTDT multiple times and it never gets easier!
12 years, 17 years & 10 years

You can always just not talk to her for awhile to see if it helps.

I'm always amazed at how people exaggerate about their income on a public forum. Who knows what to really believe?

WOW!, what I would give to be 27 and single! You have your whole life ahead of you! You need to get some real world experiences under your belt. Don't get involved with a guy that's divorced and has a young child that you met online. I'm sure some of them are just fine, but give it a little thought before just jumping off the cliff.

The human body is very beautiful! There's nothing wrong with naked pics of his friends f-buddy. Seriously, you act as if she's there, in front of him, getting naked. That might be cause for concern, as he may be inclined to try something.

True love is worth more than any job or money. You need a reality check more than a paycheck.

Most, but not ALL, guys are checking out gals all.the.time!
It can be their children's teachers, a bank teller, a girl that works at KFC or even the Pastor's wife (she is hot BTW!)

YOU are being checked out and you just don't notice it.

whether or not men are approaching you is a different story. I think that's where appearances, confidence and pheromones seem to come into play more.

It depends on what you are really after.

If it's a long-term relationship you desire, you might have better luck finding someone else with children. The closer in age to yours the better.

If you just want to let your hair down and have some fun, get a babysitter and go to a bar and pick up a young stud. A drunk, horny, handsome man is out there looking for an older, mature, experienced woman, just like you!

You need to have a continuous connection mentally first. Email, text, call, or see each other every day or very often for a while. You don't just rush into sleeping with someone. If the award is given out prior to the game even beginning, what's the point of the game? Your fuck buddies got their prize and they've probably moved on looking for another prize. Also, if you make things too complicated or start trying to add contingencies you might be whipping the horse before the starting gate has opened. Lastly, you need to make sure that the sex is worth their time. If you lay there like a dead fish you're just going to collect flies!

We both have strengths and weaknesses, but I would say it was a lateral move for both of us. We laterally didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to pour it out of!
