[quote=Anonymous][quote=Lonely_Sojourner][quote=Anonymous]Dates are not therapy sessions. You are sitting there with a stranger assessing what you have in common. Later if you start a relationship you can share some of the uglier past. Early dates are not the time.

You also don't have to be "successful" to be attractive to a man. Your tone suggests that you have quite an ego about that, and that could also be putting men off. If you're cute and make him feel good, that's all he needs.[/quote]

While I completely agree with your comment that men don't need a woman to be "successful to be attractive", I tend to disagree with your comment pertaining to "that's all he <men> needs"...  While I can't speak for the rest of the male populace, I know that I need more.  Being widowed at the age of 48 and just recently re-entering the dating scene just a year ago, I'm looking for a partner, not just a cutey that continually blows sunshine my way.  Furthermore, I'm not put off if someone wants to share their past and truth be told, I consider it rather useful as it provides valuable insight as to how they handled stress, financial problems, communication issues, sex, etc, etc.

We are talking about the first couple of dates. Anyone who presents their financial portfolio but won't talk about anything emotional would be a red flag to me. I imagine that's how Trump used to date.[/quote]
