[25yearsmlc]

[quote=Jim1234]25, You seem to have it pretty well together. You're bright and articulate, you seem confident (which is very attractive, whether you're a man or woman), you're a lawyer, you mention being fairly attractive, you seem interesting, you've seen some of the world....

thanks. Did I "mention being fairly attractive"? I can't believe I'd say that.

Should have mentioned "being a stunner"...



I'm pretty sure you'll find men clamoring to date you. So if someone piques your interest, go for it. "Kiss" a lot of frogs. The worst that can happen is you date a lot of frogs, but a few of them might be princes.



well the worst that can happen is wasting my precious time with frogs. Life is short.

And I don't want to hurt OMs. But when you think about it, dating is all about rejection - us rejecting others & us being rejected. I read somewhere that "you could be with a guy/woman who looks like a boiled potato, and they may reject you!"

And it's true.

Of course it only takes one to make it all worth it.

There are 2 guys in my life at the moment. "G" is a guy I once dated before h, LONG ago. We went to high school together. He's a veteran as am I. And he's an entrepreneur.
He's kind & smart, and we are comfortable with each other. But I'm not attracted to him - (at least not yet.) Plus he says things like "well at our age..."


OMG stop! How can that ^^^sentence end well? "...well At our age...." at our age, WHAT?

(Maybe if he'd say "at our age, the sex is great and I have too much money and free time!"???? ) He says a lot about 'not wanting drama" and frankly, I'm not sure what that means. Is it code for No needs allowed?

So his attitude about aging is a problem for me. I Understand that His parents both died young, but mine didn't. I don't believe I'm 2 years from a wheelchair. There's longevity in my family.


The other guy is "M" and I'm taking it slow with him, b/c i can imagine a r with him. He matters.

also By definition if we are on this site, we are used to being in a couple. And our egos are deeply, badly bruised. So it is wise to tread carefully.

G is patient b/c he knows I'm new to the single world. He will make a good partner to someone, but I'm not sure it's me.

I am very attracted to M, and he is smart and has depth. He went to MIT , plays music AND he read all of CS Lewis's books. WHAT???

He is smart, and has lots of liberal artsy interests! I like M enough that I want to be careful in proceeding. So I might be about to hurt G.

Sheesh.
