WHO IS A DINOSAUR AND MISSES DATING THE OLD WAY ??

flamingred: i miss a man calling and asking to go out on date, picking me up ,
coming to the door , opening the car door etc

This techno dating is crap lol

LoisS: Haha I dont think it makes you a Dinosaur at all, I think it's normal to want to interact like a human and not a robot with all the perfect answers.

I dont think the feminists allow men to open doors and pull out chairs anymore....

flamingred: LOis that could be very true, but personally I like to be treated like a lady

delawaredevil: I'm a dinosaur myself. And I believe us dinosaurs are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The male of the species has it hard too, Feminists on one side, telling us no no no to treating them like a lady, and the women on the other side of the street that want to be treated like princesses. I think the couple should sit down and talk about protocols, before the first date.

flamingred: I never said anything about being treated like a princesss, that would be quite boring but
I do like a door held open for me , just general polite dating etiquette for the first few dates
anyway... is that too much to ask ?

delawaredevil: I was speaking in generalizations (is that a word). The object of the dating game is to have fun and get to know each other on a level deeper than just platonic. To date you must at least basically know one another. Talk about your mutual likes and dislikes before going on a date. I married my best friend back in 79 after a bit over a year of dating. Had to wait for her divorce to become final. Lost her in 2018 to Ovarian Cancer, and I do miss her every day, but I do know that life does go on, so I'm dating a bit now.

flamingred: cant say i would ever want to be a second wife after the first one passed away,

delawaredevil: I'm not looking for a wife, just a friend where we can spend some time with each other, and alleviate some of the boredom. That's the worst part of losing your partner. You always feel that a part of you is missing. In the beginning you are practically strangers and over time you grow together. My wife and her husband were into camping, I was into fishing. I learned to love camping, and I think she caught more fish than me. And it was like that with all of our activities. We introduced each other to many new and exciting activities. I had always ridden a motorcycle, and the first time she got on behind me she fell in love with it. At least for about the first 50 or 60 miles, then her butt got sore. We bought another seat and kept on going. The only thing that's changed about me is that now my bike grew a third wheel.

flamingred: well delawaredevil you are one of the lucky few who have had a fantastic relationship , so sad
it was cut short but in the positive you experienced one of the best features in life

delawaredevil: It was literally the best thing that ever happened to me. That's the biggest part of me that keeps telling me I can never marry again. I would only be comparing my late wife to someone new. That's why I only date but stay away from anything serious. I don't know if you can understand, being divorced and all. You and your x chose to end your relationship because of reasons you both only knew, but it was your choices. With me and my late wife we didn't choose to part ways we had planned our whole futures around each other. We wanted to be together, it was NOT our choice that she would pass away. For the Christmas before she passed I got her a Suzuki Burgman executive 650 cc scooter of her own, and a Voyager trike kit. It all came in in November so she had a while to ride and get use to it. In early February we bought a 28 foot Work and play camper. In late february we got the news that her cancer was back and she needed radical chemo. The "radical Chemo" I believe killed her. I did sell her bike, but the camper has never been used. I didn't ride that whole year, Now I ride some, but it feels like something is missing. So if you are lucky enough to find true love, grab it and hold on for dear life.

flamingred: yes, there is no guarantees in life so live each day like it could be your last one dont waste it

flamingred: getting back to the subject , men tell us what u men miss from the old days of dating

flamingred: and tell us one thing u dont miss at all from the old days of dating

kennyray311: I always open the door. Car, home, bathroom, whatever. Maybe 2 women got a little upset about it. I explained it was about respect not power or control. Nearly all women are blown away the first few times! It is actually kind of fun to see the reactions.

kennyray311: What I miss? well not one damn thing. I have always been a little shy and I never believed in the practice of coming up with some snappy pick up phrase.( lie) So I am happier now than ever.

flamingred: one reply ? come on tell us what u miss from the old days of dating

kennyray311: really, nothing. The old days of dating were awkward, lots of pressure to do / not do certain activities, It seemed like a good way to foul up what could be a good solid friendship.

kennyray311: What about you Flamingred? What do you miss?

flamingred: well i like being treated like a lady, door opened for me , good conversation, manners
i like to dress up once in awhile and other times casual, i like to be greeted besides just
a hey babe how are u ?

The giant midget: So you have more doors then you thought
Yes closets do have doors
