Tell him how much you genuinely appreciate him, and offer to pay half, and if he says no, offer to pay a third. If he still says no, then it's no, but remind him that you acknowledge and... Dating

Be nice, but tell the truth, and don't leave hope or wiggle room. It's better to extinguish all hope than to allow him to think there's something he can do to change your mind.... Dating

I got played like that when I was young and stupid, but I realized that I didn't have to accept that, and since about 22, if that situation happened, I just moved on. I wouldn't be uncivil, but I... Dating

There are several, but, yeah, smoking, drugs, or more than occasional social drinking are deal breakers for me. But so are people who are selfish, shallow, rude, or unappreciative. Some people... Dating

While I think you are absolutely right in general (men want younger women, and men her age are no exception, and it will be very difficult to find a man her age who takes her seriously), I also... Dating

Most (but not all) men would take first date sex if it was offered, but most (not all) men would also immediately and permanently lower your status from "potential relationship partner" to "for... Dating

I think you're confused. What makes a "traditional wife" is the tradition that she stays home to raise the kids while the man works - at least until the kids are in school full-time. This... Dating

I'd be fine with it, and I have done it with good results - though I have also NOT done it if I didn't feel like it was going to be well received. For guys, the danger is doing it in the first... Dating

There isn't someone for everyone. That is straight fact. But more relevant, there's no perfect person for you - you are never going to get everything you want, and neither will anyone else.... Dating
