Have any of you found love after your diagnosis and treatment?

Yay! Welcome, Heidi. Sounds like your love life is going well. Sorry about Mark. It must've been heartbreaking but it sounds, too like you're moving along in a positive way .

DF - glad to see you popping in. I want a new car too but little old Saturn will have to do for now. And,yea, what's up with guys not wearing their wedding rings?

Mybee and lovemyfamily - I sure miss the touch being held thing too. My daughter gave me a bunch of that last week when I visited her but she's so far away.

So my tow truck driver friend calls alot to see if I'm ok, but he too is far away and not gonna be my heart throb.

Met a guy thru pof and had dinner 2 weeks ago. Nice, super smart guy, then was away for a week visiting my daughter. He said to contact him when I returned and messaged me during the week. He gushed on about the nice time we had, my beautiful smile, blah, blah blah, and so I messaged him a couple days ago that I was home and now I think he's avoiding me. :-( Maybe all that sweet talk was meant to let me off nicely, but then why bother messaging me while I was gone? I don't understand men.

Also had contact with 3 other guys from pof but all went nowhere. Guess I'm back to a dry desert again!

Ladies

 Get this: Mike just chatted with me and wants to meet me for breakfast. I said to him "what is this breakfast thing?" Dont you go out at night?

Here is where it gets weird he said his separated daughter and her 10 year old son live with him. He watches the boy while she works.  I said to him "what does she work 24/7" He said she works 6 days a week; I am not sure what the hours are but he claims he picks the boy up from school and makes supper for him. He said on Sunday they all go to church and out to eat. 

Does this sound fishy to any  of you?????

What are you doing on a dating site if you can just do "breakfast"????

Meeting Edward for lunch on Saturday.  He called me three times in the last 2 days.  Coming on a little too strong for me.  We shall see!  Need to fill the void so I can stop obsessing about Franklin.  Still miss him, sigh.  Like an addiction, one day at a time. xo

So....I go to work, have a busy day and wham!  10 posts!

PL - I think it is a numbers game.  That combined with patience ..................

Joanne - it doesn't sound so fishy to me.  I work in a school and you would not believe the number of grandparents who come to meetings, conferences, and raise their grandkids. I think it is worth checking out futher only because...........if he is a con.....I think you will know it. 

Or we will tell you

Lovemy family - I used to love guys that came on strong, thought that was decisive, commanding, etc.  all that BS that you read in womens novels. So wrong.  I have studied this phenomenon.  A number of my books indicate that if they come on too strong............it means control, possible, cow towing or extreme selfishness or even much, much worse. You are getting a gut instinct my dear.

Stanzie - I just found out that my local school district, for community ed. classes (water areobics in particular, count anyone 50 and up as a senior!  I wanted to swim but it is all in the day time. 

Hey ladies - having a number of famliy/kids problems and medical issues too.  Some semi- serious stuff.

If youcould spare a minute for a sweet prayer or two, I would be most grateful.

Love!!!!!!!3>

Mybee

I just prayed for you and your family: You be blessed.

Awww Maybee- of course thoughts and prayers sent and ((hugs)).

I agree you will know if he is fishy ..... ask how old the child is - that will tell you something quickly. If he is little maybe you could meet at a playgound and talk while the child plays. Seeing how he acts with a child will tell you tons! 

rakulylinda- maybe he had hoped you would mention the music and he got hurt you hadn't listened to it yet?? guessing of course....

Praying for you mybee !   Hugs, Kiley

Good moring Ladies

Well like I mentioned it is either feast or farmine. Guess I am now in a famine phase:

No message from a guy who was messaging me every moning. He also called me every other evening.  I messed up the Rose guy. He called and told me that I said that I would call him back and I didnt. That was last Sunday night. I had a few calls coming in at same time and I forgot about his call.  I apologized to him. It really was an oversight. Now I havent heard from him any more. The cheapo guy has not contacted me since the meeting.  Mike seems unavailable accept to go out to breakfast.

I wonder what I am doing that some of these guys are so interested and then lose interest. Or they meet me than dont contact me again.

I think so too.... the chase if the fun part - sometimes for us too... LOL!

Hey you could still call Rose guy and you suggest something to get together..... He really may have felt it was a brush off.

Thanks for your input Joanne,Stanzie and Rak. I did message the Rose guy and apologized again and told him what a wonderful time I had with him.  Haven't' heard from him.

Oh, a little more on Mike: I think this is strange. He doesnt like to talk on the phone but likes to chat back and forth on POF. Also, when he i call that one time there was a strange caller ID; so I questioned him when I met him. I called the number back right in front of him and a recording came on telling me "to put in your magic number"  He denied knowing anything about  He also

 had a ring on his left hand. I asked him again if he is married. He said "no, it is a spin ring" (never heard of such a thing) He said that his daughter gave it to him and she insists that he wear it.  Is this all weird or what?

Paintedlady -- I think it sounds odd too but .... a spin ring is a worry ring .. something to play with or twirl but if that is the case then why not wear on your right hand and what does the daughter really have to with it -- if this is really true then the daughter certainly rules that "roost".

My friend dated a guy from Match.com. He said he had custody of his 6 year old daughter so couldn't date very much. He would call her, arrange a date and then back out. She liked him so asked a friend if she would babysit the daughter so they could go out more often. He never took her up on the offer and finally stopped e-mailing or calling her. She couldn't stand the suspense so asked him if he was "moving on". He said no, he just didn't have time to date. Then she got an e-mail obviously not meant for her which mentioned getting together. She called him and he apologized for sending her an e-mail meant for someone else and admitted that he had, after all, moved on.

What a coward!

Hrf   I am thinking the same thing. I haven't heard from him since I started questioning him about his limited time he has for a woman.  I think if he really only was watching his 10 year old grandson, he would make time to go on dates. I smell a rotten fish on POF!

he deleted his profile --- he got caught --

Lunch date tommorow with Edward.  Open mind!  I am on a 12 step program getting over Franklin--kind of kidding,but not really! xo
