Type O Negative

Actions AND words.

Just goes to show how different people are - there aren't many things I hate more than bowling, sorry!

Absolutely agree with everything you said; you've expressed it far more eloquently and kindly than I ever could.

Not worth it. 🤦‍♀️ OP, I last dated at 33 and found it soul destroying even then. Dating in middle age has got to be the pits. As far as the dude. .yeah, tacky, stupid and immature..Wtfword.. Problem is, the available ones, in age group 50+ are available for a reason..I get it. Husband and I have single male friends in their 50 s and..eh, enough said.

Not worth it. 🤘

Husband is not jealous in the slightest. He finds jealousy laughable and childish. He is the absolute easiest to be with in this respect (and million others). I essentially can do what I want when I want as far as going out with friends, male or female, or travelling to see my twin sister in Germany. Bear in mind, at our age there isn't a whole lot of going out taking place so we're talking maybe once or twice a week. We mostly go out together though . Went out to our local Italian last night and had a great time! I'm much more jealous but not in a controlling 'you can't go out /travel without me' kind of way. He goes out without me locally and further afield, to gigs, and I'm happy for him to. He goes to Italy (where he's from) without me. Meets up with mates every now and then. He's got female friends in Italy but they're all long-term married and he's known them since like 10 years of age. I would not be happy if he were to regularly go for drinks with a new female friend. He knows this and wouldn't. Another way in which we are compatible. As far as checking each other' s phones - that's just nonsense for kids. We're way way too old for this silliness.

Yeah, I would. Good people sometimes do stupid things, myself included. I cheated on my ex-h and left him for the man. My husband left his long-term ex for me. We 'overlapped' at the very beginning, her and I. He cheated on past partners too. So what? Happens. It's called living in the real world, in my book. No-one -not one person on the planet - is a perfect saint who's never made a mistake in their entire life.

How, no ideas? Find a nice pub near yours and go for a drink? Nothing beats a lovely pub for a date with a new bloke! Go sit in the park with a picnic or a bottle of wine or both? If you don't want to drink, a cafe? Doesn't need to be anything elaborate or unusual. Think of a simple thing to do and suggest it, if you want to that is!

You'd have to have been a 'scene' goth in London in late 90s to recognize the name..highly doubt you were..anyway, enough of me, it's not my thread!

Ha, no...

OMG, it really isn't important who gets ingredients for dinner etc. He can do a couple of handyman projects round yours as a thank you, issue solved. Main thing is to have a great time in the process!!

His choice not to get together during the week right? Had the same thing happen when newly dating husband. He'd say, on Monday morning, I'll see you on Friday gorgeous! And I'd wilt inside and think, my lord, 5 days without him..? This was an issue for a long while.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dying laughing ha ha ha ha ha. They were big within the late 90s goth scene in London.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no way man. I'd tell you the name of the band he played for but I'll bet ten million it'll mean nothing to you, sadly..

I was once, in 1999, age 29, so madly, stupidly in love with someone that I'd literally loose my power of speech looking at him, listening to him talk. It was just way way too much to process - he was that unbelievably, impossibly 'my kind of' stunning...my kind my of man who didn't want me to be his woman. I'd realise halfway though a conversation that I didn't get a single word he said because I was transfixed staring at his hair, his eyes, the smile in them, his lips, hands, fingers. How much taller than me he was. And then there was his voice, his mannerisms, his smell, his way of twirling the glass of wine round and round, slowly. My god. Sigh. He was a rubbish cook and a brilliant bass guitarist.. 'Blair Witch Project' was one of million things we had in common. Shut the f up woman. This is 24 years ago now. Somehow I'm thinking this isn't what you're talking about...Alex?
