Its a good start

     Its a good start in finding the right one.  Finding out what kind of upbringing they had goes a long way in telling you how happy they became as an adult.  I've ran into a lot of types during my dating days who were abused, mistreated, abandoned.  You've heard people talk about needing to know the family medical history, that actually is really important, right?  Well the same goes for the families mental history as well.  I can think of two people right off who had a family history of alcoholism, where just about all their siblings were alcoholic and so were their parents. Also I have run into family history of all kinds of mental problem like retardation, autism, psyhophrenia, bi polar, to start, all in the same family.  Its a real consideration when you are thinking about attaching yourself to this person.  
     When you are trying to make a good impression, you don't start out by telling the family secrets do you?  So take it easy and don't believe everything that's said at first.  I once responded to an add in the personals, back in the day when they used to do that, (dating myself again).  When this gentleman sent a picture of himself to me I thought, gosh this man is way to old for me, but he said "just give me a chance".  I use to fall for that 'give me a chance' thing.  So when I met up with him guess what?  He was at least 10 years older than his picture.

Spring has sprung

     When spring comes along, the days are so beautiful and so refreshing.  Its a a wonderful time for couples.  Its something you really miss, being a couple.  Its a great time to take a new lease on life and find that special person you can be with.  There are many ways to find one, but be smart.  Remember the safety points I have outlined .  One thing, when men first meet you they embellish their attributes.  Its lying yes, but they always want to put their best foot forward, make a good impression.  So you have to realize that you can't go by first impression.  Take it easy and wait until you think you really know this person.  My all time top piece of advice, find out if that person had a happy, healthy childhood.

Did anybody like me?

     So it was difficult for me to keep anyone interested in dating me since I wanted to do it later on down the line.  Well this is how it worked. I put on my profile message and waited for response's.  I was afraid of rejection so I didn't listen to men and leave messages for the ones I like, to shy for that. I waited to hear messages from guys that were interested in my profile.  I got several responses, some were positive, some were negative.  I think some of the worst were men that were nasty and said I was just a gold digger. Obviously those men we not at all what I was looking for. I then messaged those who seemed nice and after messaging for a while I eventually talked to some on the service's phone system.  You usually got about 20 or 30 minutes to talk on their lines.  One of the back falls of this system is that you don't know what the person your talking to looks like.  That's the plus on computer dating sites, photo's. One of questions I asked to get an idea was to ask, "if you compared yourself to a well known actor, who would it be"?

Getting ahead of yourself

    The fact that I started the people store before I was ready was a problem.  I found that any men I spoke to wanted to get my real phone number right away and wanted to have a first date right away. I was a month away from loosing the extra pounds that would make me date acceptable.  About the longest I could hold them off was two weeks before they wanted to meet.  But one thing I did find out about myself is that I was pretty good at having good conversations over the phone.
