1) Some are still looking for the "love of their life", to settle down with that one person for the rest of their life.
2) Some don't want that kind of serious lifelong commitment but would like to have a steady dating partner.
3) Some don't want any commitment at all and just want to have fun with various dates with no obligation.
Once again KML very astute and on target. I'd say I'm mostly in or entering into #2 perhaps as I'm leaving #3. The thing is, the age group I'm in or looking to date, I'm betting if we add groups 2 and 3 together they still won't total the number of woman in group 1. It almost seems like woman are programmed to want group 1. Even if after multiple failed Rs they are still in their 40s, 50s and 60s looking for their "soulmate". Ive been honest in the past only to lose any chance of #2. I'm still honest but while leaving the door open to change my mind - which is possible, just not as likeky as they probably hope. Then again, who knows.
