Isolde Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 What are people's goals on here? How many of you just want to improve your dating life? How many of you want short term (3months-1 year) relationships for the foreseeable future? How many of you want LTR's? How many of you are only interested in meeting a prospective marriage partner? Along with your response, please indicate what your barriers and strategies are. Thank you!
motive2002 Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Hmm... this isn't as simple as "what's your favorite eye color".. To answer your question, or rather question(s), I am looking for a long term relationship. My barriers lately have been mostly baggage from previous relationships or the fact that a lot of women in my age group are already long since married and have families. You know that old saying. All the good ones are taken. The age range I'm shooting for is 35-40, myself being 37. As far as only meeting a prospective marriage partner.. well I would assume that falls into the LTR category. I'm not pushing for it (marriage), but if it happens to work out that way I'm not opposed to it either. I don't have any "strategies" right now, particularly since I'm still kinda raw from my last break-up... just gonna wait a while and see what happens.
alphamale Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 How many of you want short term (3months-1 year) relationships for the foreseeable future? raises hand - there are no barriers and no set "strategy" with all the single professional women running around in Chicago it should be even easier
Author Isolde Posted December 27, 2008 Author Posted December 27, 2008 Oops--I guess I should have responded to my own poll I'm looking just to generally improve my dating life for now, because I have difficulties meeting people that are even halfway compatible, and I think once I go on more dates things will fall into place eventually. My barriers: lack of friends/networking opportunities, lack of single guys in my city, shyness and insecurity My strategies: being friendlier/more easygoing with guys, stop thinking of dating in terms of "types" or "leagues," trying out a bunch of new activities, & doing some online stuff on the side.
Trialbyfire Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 What are people's goals on here? The only goal I have is to shake this relationship aversion. IMO, it's a matter of finding the right guy, working on trust and the core belief that there's actually a guy who has the internal substance (discipline and strength), to not cheat. Intellectually, I believe this. Emotionally, I'm not there yet. How many of you just want to improve your dating life? Nope, not a problem. Quality over quantity. How many of you want short term (3months-1 year) relationships for the foreseeable future? Once again, it's reliant on the first question. STRs are no different than LTRs, at least from a fidelity perspective. How many of you want LTR's? Even responding to this question, kind of creeps me out. I guess you know the answer to that one! How many of you are only interested in meeting a prospective marriage partner? YIKES!
