Who believes that sex can ruin a friendship?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 14, 2018:

I have a very good male friend. At one point we were both single after our divorce from our spouses. I knew he liked me. He flew from Colorado to see me and my sons. Part of me wanted to go out with him, but he was my friend and had been my friend over the years. We were in the military together. I didn't want to risk losing him if we had formed a relationship that wouldn't have worked out for some reason. I respect him too much. We're still friends to this day after 20+ years! I'll be seeing him and his lovely wife and children soon! I see him as a brother in arms. We're respectfully bonded forever.

Good morning! Tgif! Well as I always say things happen for a reason.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 14, 2018:

I'd rather be alone than make the mistake of being with someone I "think" loves me. I can't be with a "weak-willed" man. I need a strong man. I'm tired of always being the strong one. Nice and good girls like me always finish last. It doesn't just happen to nice guys. Men think they can make a good girl like me second choice. Uumm.. nah!

How long are you content to go without sex in a committed relationship?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 14, 2018:

I was once married to a military service member. I stayed loyal to him throughout every deployment: 1.5 - 24 mo. deployments. Never thought about cheating on him... not even with a sex toy. My body belonged to him. In the end he cheated on me. To this day, I'm the same way. I'm saving my body for the right man. However long it takes. We'll make love as often as we can or whenever he's ready.

Made a good connection with a man from work today.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 14, 2018:

I never mix business with pleasure or married men. Big no-no in my book.

Question 36. Share a personal problem and ask for advice (only if you want to, of course).

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 13, 2018:

2 days ago, I got a job acceptance offer in Colorado. I can go anytime. I've made them aware of my pending obligations. Thankfully, they support me. Should I rent a home or buy another house? $2,500/ month on rent is the max I'd pay. I'm working with a real estate agent on finding me either. Mid-February early March time frame is when I'll be up there to look at some homes with my friends. My close friends are excited about the news and are helping me out. I can't wait to see them! Initially, I looked into a job transfer because I really liked someone on here, but after careful consideration and observation, he's not for me. I've made the right decision. I still win in the end. Colorado is beautiful. I'm going to stay focused on my long-term goals and retire comfortably. I'm on a dating site where I'm getting an idea of what type of men I attract in the area. I'm not disappointed. Most are retired military. Which is probably what I need to understand what I do. I want to start dating again and meet the man of my dreams. He will appreciate what I bring to the table and to the relationship. 2019 looks good. I'm a bit excited and nervous.

I know I ain't right lol

If you could only pick one thing, what would be the most important quality in a significant other?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 13, 2018:

Affection... It doesn't always have to be physical. Something as little as remembering things I like, helping me cook, maybe a small note of encouragement if I put in for a promotion, etc. An unexpected snuggle or passionate kiss or squeezing my butt is fine too. ?

Retrieve PM

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 13, 2018:

You let her get away! Gees! Hehehe... She could have been the love of your life! But since you had to log out and you took too long to read and respond, now you will never know! LOL! Also.... Could have been someone from the future giving you lottery numbers. But, no! You had to log off! Hehehe... I'm curious to know what the PM said too! I'm dying of suspense! ?

Are you relationship material? Would you date YOU? [rebelcircus.com]

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 12, 2018:

Once in a while someone amazing comes along... and here I am! Hehehe... I'm financially responsible and reliable. I have multiple job backgrounds and education to work just about anywhere: government, state, and city. I can relocate just about anywhere if I really want to. I can adapt to most surroundings. I'm not the desperate type. If I like you, I genuinely do. I'm not a serial dater. I don't mind being alone. It takes me a while before moving on if things don't work out with someone... I won't lie to you nor have anything to hide. I would prefer not to talk about something if I don't want to answer. I love kids. Kids usually like me too. I've done volunteer work and always participate with activities involving my kids and can do the same for his.. I have no enemies, drama, or unfinished business to follow me into a new relationship. I'm a charitable and humble person to those less fortunate than I. I don't go around taking pictures and posting them on social media of those people I've helped. I may tell you a brief story about how I met some of those I've helped, but my charitable deeds are between that person and I. I'm a people person, but have a tiny circle of close friends. I'm mentally strong when it comes to relationships. I'm not the cheating type. No matter how tough things might get. I'm generally healthy and STD-free, . Other than a back injury from my military service, I can manage my pain: physical therapy, diet and exercise, medication and meditation. I don't participate in using drugs or abuse alcohol I'm pretty funny once you get to know me.

absence of communication speaks volumes... :( [youtube.com]

Approved background and mental health checks can also protect the accused in court in cases like the one mentioned in this article.

How did you come out to your family as atheist (or whatever you identify as)?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 11, 2018:

I resigned from my position as a Sunday school teacher and renounced my baptism by requesting the pastor to destroy my baptismal documents. I wanted to wait for the right time to tell my parents, but the pastor I confided in felt obligated to tell my parents for me. Something profound and unexplainable happened to me that changed my views on religion and in particular, life. It happened for the best no matter how terrifying my experience was. There was a sense of peace throughout my fear. I've since been removed from any inheritance, family gatherings, etc. I made the right decision for me. I don't regret it.

To what degree should instincts be reined in?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 11, 2018:

I follow my instincts on the majority of my decisions. I'll take calculated risks on some things, however. I always make sure whatever risks I take that my losses are minimal and that I am able to regroup and recover fairly quickly.

Next time I don't care to go to the ballet or something.... I'll just "remember what Jesus did"

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 11, 2018:

Laughing hysterically! ????

Has anyone else done this?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 11, 2018:

Let's go! You're so lucky to have gotten those! I'm sorry things didn't work out with her. I'll tag along as a friend? You can tell me all about her and then I'll throw in some humour and help you forget. Sometimes, all you need is a good friend who will listen.

Talking....my preferred method since forever.

Are you interested in meeting members for dating?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 11, 2018:

Not at the moment. Initially, I thought "I had to" have a dating profile just to join. Then I did a quick observation of the site and realised I didn't need a "dating" profile. Phew! I ran into this awesome guy unexpectedly. It was beautiful, but due to my busy work and sudden assignment, I'd never have time for him anytime soon. Maybe in the future? Or not? I'm sure I'll meet someone, if not him. I just can't make any commitments to ANYONE right now. March 2019 will be ideal for dating, etc.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 10, 2018:

I loathe gossip! If it has nothing to do with me directly, I don't want to know. Especially, gossip at work! It's so unprofessional! I don't allow it. Stay focused on your work and go home with a paycheck and take care of your families.

Would you get into a relationship with a person who already had kids with previous partners/partner?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 10, 2018:

Of course, I would! If I love him, I'm going to love his children as my own as well. In my personal experience, I've never had an issue with a man's children not liking me. It's been his ex/ baby mama drama. THAT there was and would be the cause of my break up with a man. (If his ex is psycho towards me.) His children and mine will ALWAYS be our priority above anything or anyone. _________ Disclosure: He can't have more than 2 kids. A guy with too many kids (more than 3 max) is a turn-off for me. And if he has multiple baby mamas, even worse! (Unless we make one of our own.) Which is not likely to happen. Thanks to birth control!!!
