However, I've found for myself that as I get older (crap 47 yrs is just around the corner ), my focus is changed and there's not so much a rush as there is a sense of wanting to slow things down & enjoy the total experience 47? I wish I was 47...Im 55...and i agree...there is no rush at this age for sure...I think because we are so afraid of making a mistake ....and haveing to eeeewwwwww date again..I hate dating...
I have been seeing a man for 2 years now....hes 8 years older than me..I have NEVER dated an older man..but hes quite unique...I have learned to not be exclusive with anyone unless there is a commitment...otherwise...we become to needy...and thats a turn off to men.....and thats the key right there...NEVER EVER be exclusive with anyone unless you have a commitment...otherwise..you will be miserable and feel trapped...and dating is how we find out what we really want anyway..by experiencing others.. ...
Needless to say...I have dated others...he says he hasnt...but theres no commitment...but the funny thing is this....we have developed a deep friendship ...before an actual relationship...and I think I like it...
We break up....and go back..then we break up ...and go back...lol...but we always end up together again...Perhaps we are suited for each other....Things are beginning to change abit...perhaps because I started dating others again..and now...hes the 'hunter'...lol Men like that...'the challenge' or fear of losing you.....this gives the man time to think about how much he needs you...if he is attached..he will fear losing you...if you never challenge him..he will stay in cruize mode...men do that ya know....
Dating others also helps you to see who you are compatable with...and it keeps your feminine spirit up..and thats attractive to healthy men... A confident woman.
We both never want to have to go through a divorce again..so we are being extremely careful...I think our patience will be an asset to the relationship..
But by dating others...if things dont work...I wont be lonely...or depressed..because of my other male friends that I date....oh yes..you MUST be honest about your dating others...otherwise you will look like a sneak..
So this is my conclusion....because we have formed this intense friendship...and put the physical on hold for now...because sex confuses things for women more than for men...remember..men can have sex without feelings...I dont think we women are so good at that..lol......and what we are doing...is basically trying to make good decisions for our lives...decisions that will impact our lives in a very positive manner...forever...not just for a time..but forever..........
The cool thing is this...if we make it...we will still have a fresh and new relationship to look forward to....because of moving so slow....and carefully..and yes...putting sex on hold....... and hopefully..we will have built a very strong foundation to work with..
If we dont make it...we will always be close friends...Moving slow is a win win proposition..
