And another one bites the dust....

Just a thought.......how many women on this site? Anyone have a brother, uncle, or friend who is looking for an intelligent funny young woman? I bet if everyone thought about who they have single in their circle of family......maybe someone could come up with a MATCH for Marin.

Let's play MATCHMAKER.........

Love Always,

Sorry, I don't know any single males ... or I'd be trying to date them!

LOL.  I have two single brothers...one works for NASA in Florida.  He has twin daughters who are 12.  They are wonderful...so is he, but he'd drive you nuts.  The other one lives in Minnesota, has a 16-year-old and loves to golf.  He works for the highway department.  But it's too cold there, so forget it.

Next!

Awwwww.....thanks, Terry...and all of you! But I will take issue with the "young" woman tag. Though I feel younger than ever, I'm actually 55 years old, y'all! Of course, I'm pretty much back to looking at younger guys, but will stick with those in their 40's. As my daughter gets older (she's 24), it's starting to feel creepy dating guys in their 20's!

Ok- so I don't know the appropriate place to write this, but I am DYING to get this off my chest.

I figure since we are talking about men who are losers, this will do.

I was engaged once.  I was 23, and STUPID!  I was with this guy for all the wrong reasons, and I wasn't in love with him.

He was controlling, and borderline abusive.  He took steroids, and was a body builder, and definitely had ROID rages.  The best thing I ever did was walk away from this guy.

Well, actually, I didn't walk.  In the middle of the night, my friend helped me pack up a uhaul, and I left everything behind except for my clothes, and some valuables.  Upon hearing the news that my family members were actively seeking this jerk out, he picked up and moved to Vegas.

Through the years he would call or text me every so often, usually when drunk.

About two years after we were through, he called me to say, he was sorry for treating me so bad, etc etc... even though it was two years after the fact, I really appreciated his sincere apology, and went on with my life.

In the last few years, post BC, he will still call or text every so often.  Keep in mind, I am no where near the girl I was back then.

A- I was 23.

B- I was stupid

C- my life pre cancer was full of vanity, selfish behavior (that one may expect from a 25 year old)

He knows I've been with M. for 2 years.  He knows we live together.  He text me a few months back to tell me he would be in Baltimore for the weekend, and I reminded him, um, hello?  I haven't lived in Baltimore for 5 years...

So the other day I get a text from him saying, what are you up to?

I write back-- I'm in the middle of sending out save the date cards for my engagement party.

He writes- wow. congratulations.  My sisters are going to be so upset.

To which I say, why is that?

he writes, b/c they always thought you were the best thing for me, and i should do whatever it takes to get you back.

I choked as I read this.  I mean, first of all, this guy has been married, has had it enulled, has fathered a kid he never sees, all in the time since me, lives across the country, and DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ME...All I could do was laugh.

There were so many snide comments I could've written, but since I couldn't choose any I never responded.

thoughts?

Beth....It seems really scary to think that you could have ended up marrying this guy and even becoming a parent with him. That's a chilling thought, huh? As immature as you might have been back then, you were, at least, wise enough to know that he was totally wrong for you. Unfortunately, he sounds like enough of a sociopath to not "get it" and, so, is hoping that you're as psycho as he is and will be drawn back by old memories. He probably even remembers your relationship as, mostly, fabulous and discounts his abusive ways, thinking you were being too sensitive or melodramatic. Now that I know from experience that there are plenty of crazies out there, it seems apparent what one should do when pestered by one of them. So i say eliminate him....um, no, not in the Mafia way, but just X him outta your life and your mind. You have no obligation to be kind, or even civil, to the guy. And, if I'm right, he won't be hurt by your rebuff in the least. Angry, maybe...hurt, I don't think so.

And lock your car doors when you get in too.

Rock, I'm with you - if I knew any good, single med I'd be dating them myself!

I have no brothers. I have a 42 year old coinfirmed bachelor half-uncle who is handsome and handy but I truly wouldn't set anyone up with him.

Um, I do have a cousin who claims to be rich (my eccentric aunt is VERY rich) but he, too, has issues and I wouldn't wish him on anyone I truly liked as a friend.

I do have a friend who I would set someone up with but you'd have to live here (Chicagoland) as he has a 7 year old son who he won't move away from. He's a great cook and really handy around the house and actually likes to date women who are his own age (he's 48?). That's all I have.....
