I've read several posts that folks who are caregiving do not have the energy to date, and I agree. Is it that the energy is not there to date in general, or if you met someone whom you really, really liked would you still not have the energy to go out? In other words, would you turn down a date with someone if there was a lot of chemistry? My situation is that I'm not much interested in dating anymore, and I'm not sure if it is because of the stress of caregiving, or perhaps because I'm getting older in general, or a combination. I'm just trying to think ahead, as where I live, some of the local hotels will be having holiday singles dances in a couple of months, and I'm undecided if I will go. Would you have the energy to establish a new relationship with someone while caregiving? Would like to hear any opinions/thoughts from any single/divorced caregivers regarding dating?
i think that teachers are by habit, controlling. id not do well with that as controlling me would be akin to lassoeing a locomotive.
just funnin with you..
@kazzaa - have fun flirting - keeps you in practice - would you believe before I met G a 23 yr old was after me - and I mean after me - 50 years younger!!! I met him a couple of times - he wanted a relationship. I told him to find a young woman his age, get married and have some babies. Actually he was a decent young man and nicer than some of the 50 yr olds I met on line and in person. But of course the age difference was too much. I do have my limits. The world is your oyster!
If you find him send him over here ill pay his fare!
Have got so lost in all this that I cant imagine what id talk about on a date my mum? what I do all day? why my belly is so big? I need to get back flirting I used to be so good at it!
Only slight problem I don't go out to meet anyone unless hes in the local store how do you meet someone.
I think in US the americans are quite forward which I think is great the men are very confident at asking women out gosh youre so lucky here they have to a skinfull of drink to even look your way!
Waiting to hear if any of you agree with me especially captain! LOL
Anyway... I don't see any problem dating. I did have one other problem with relating, and it was me. Everything seemed so superficial. What I would really love to find is a man with a sweet spirit, instead of one that acts like a teenager.
