Ok here’s whats up..I recently met this guy on a website & originally wasn’t too keen about wanting to get to know him because i normally prefer dating people around my own age..This guy is 9 years older than me..Guys around my age aren’t all that great though..so we (the separated guy and I) ended up chatting and found out we have very many things in common, similar likes, thoughts,opinions about various things regardless of age difference. He’s 36 separated 2 years but not yet divorced , has a 7 year old son part time, and im 27 year old college senior. We’ve known each other for about a a week + now online & have talked on the phone for several hours. He and his now X wife hardly talk..but he sees his son every day. We’ve been talking about wanting to meet for coffee perhaps or dinner. I asked him if his son is ok about him possibly dating again after 2 years of not seeing anyone…he said his son said “dad I would like u to be happy”. what to do ?
I’m learning about this whole situation..being very careful because I’ve never dated a guy who basically comes with a package deal so to speak & I really don’t want to get hurt.. Here are my additional thoughts…to this though because I’m learning as I go basically..

As far as I know & heard he seems to be a good man, good guy, responsible father, takes good care of his son. He and his X don’t really talk but currently split the kid 50/50. One week the kid is over at his fathers house one week he’s with his mom. He sees his son daily though, picks him up from school, spends time after school with him and has sat him down for a talk (long before he and I started talking..)about the possibility “Mom and I will never be but some day I may meet a wonderful new woman who could love me and you, would that be ok” kind of thing..The kid seems to have figured out (MOM AND DAD hate each other and there’s no way they will get back together)..is it wrong for me to want to get to know this man?
They’ve been separated 2 years & she won’t sign the papers because she’s wanting to take advantage of him for money related reasons even if he’s the one dressing their kid…

According to our most recent conversation..about this..(not because im nosey but because i was curious & i wanted to know more..)he said he’s in the final stages of getting this thing with the divorce wrapped up because he knows she wants him gone & all she wants him for is his money..nothin else

Why are they separated ? What happend?
According to him (he’s a military reservist)he got basically a “Dear John” e-mail from her while he was in Baghdad you know something cleverly titled like “I’m leaving You” basically because she was tired of him being gone..

He said she had no problem getting clothing discounts & using the comissary (like a military version of Costco) because of his military service, but she has a problem with him being gone. So she took off..before he got back and basically both agreed to divorce
We haven’t met yet..but are looking to do so..possibly later this week or next week..for a coffee and get to know each other.

I know phone and internet can be great..but nothing beats of course meeting someone in person to see them face to face and see what they’re all about.

I know single people can be liars, married people can be liars too..but what if i may meet a good nice guy ? Don’t many of you who are single wish to meet a good person that you can be with perhaps ? Single divorced parents find it hard to date after a divorce im sure..but they too should be given a chance like other singles ,because people in general hope to meet a good man or woman.. right?

Okay, so I dated this senior for a while and I’m a freshmen.
anyways, he was the nicest guy i’d ever met and we really hit it off. he didn’t drink, smoke, party, do drugs, he was a chrisitian, and was very outgoing, we listened to the same music, and he played my favorite sport, basketball. so we were together for a while and he broke it off because he was going to college, which crushed me, because he had convinced me earlier in our relationship that everything would be okay and college wasn’t a problem, so against my better judgment i dated him and i believed him, got attatched and got hurt. so he said we’d stay friends and everything, and we did for a while, but now he only talks to me online instead of at school. like we have these amazing conversations through messaging, but when i actually see him, he barely says anything. i still want to know him as a friend, but he makes it so hard for me. i was just wondering why he might be doing that..?

Eva asked:


I’m 34 and he’s 22.I’m going thru a divorce from verbally abusive marriage with 2 young children. He’s in a college athlete in his senior year. We met on an a dating website almost 2 months ago. we talked on the phone, thru webcam, and text daily until a week ago when he came back to michigan for school (lives out of state in the summer). now he mainly communicates thru email, called only 3 times, and says he needs time to get settled into his school schedule and then we’ll meet. he says he still wants me and we still have very sexually graphic convos when we chat online. he keeps saying he’s not avoiding me and he wants to see me but it seems fishy to me. Claims not to have a girlfriend either. Supposed to meet today actually and i have heard nothing from him, claims he lost his phone and is waiting for a new one.i know i seem stupid, so why do i still obsess over finally meeting him? why is he doing this to me? If he doesn’t want to see me, why does he try to stay in contact someho

I’m at the end of my junior year at college and am pretty f**king disappointed. Meeting girls isn’t an issue for me. I’ve had girls tell me I was hot/cute before and I’ve even had one that saw me in the gym approach me at a party before.

But that’s just it…it’s all parties and hookups and while it’s all fine and dandy, I’d rather not end up dying alone in future. At some point I have to find someone and preferably before I graduate or else I’ll be stuck screwing around with online dating, or worse….craigslist.

Part of my problem is I’m underage, I’m only turning 20 this summer. So while I’m more attracted to girls of my age or slightly younger, they’re usually a good 1-3 grades below me…and flaky and boy-crazy since they’re new to college.

My first year of college I had a girlfriend back at home so I didn’t take the opportunity to get to know the girls in my own grade and now I feel it’s too late. I’m going into senior year and I have no clue what to do.
I can’t go for freshmen because I’m just setting myself up to either look like a sketchy senior (despite not being much older) or potentially hopeless relationships once I graduate. Few of the girls in my class year that I’m friends wit I’m attracted to and of those I feel I’ve pretty much blown my chances with all of them. I really don’t know what to do anymore.

I am a home-schooled Senior and I need to take the GED since I won’t have a high school transcript upon graduating. I already know that my local high school is a GED testing center but I can’t seem to find any dates for the test. Is there any way to find out the dates of the actual test at my high school and possibly register for it online?

I’m 19 right now and going to be a college senior this fall. I’ve dated in college and it royally sucks. I can’t hold a relationship longer than 2 months…and the girls always claim “it’s not you, it’s me”. Then they run off partying and screwing around with other guys and will probably eventually become one of the “all men are dicks” kinda people 2 or 3 years from now.

Worst part is the girls my age are 1 or 2 years below me and the girls in my class year are either taken or not of interesting to me (usually the latter).

So over the summer, I want to try meeting girls that live around my hometown that I can relate with…and I’ve pretty much ruled out all girls from my high school or any past girlfriends. But would it be pathetic or seem desperate for me to use an online matchmaking site? Help, please. Thanks!

MAC loves Stars asked:


I started chatting with him on myspace. I wasn’t out looking for love or anything, it just sort of happened. I was new to the whole online world and just added him without thinking about it too much. It turned out we only lived about 2 mins. from each other (LOL) but we went to different schools. I was a senior and he was a junior in high school. We decided to meet and I was terrified because I never met anyone online before and, to my surprise, he was actually a great guy. We started hanging out, then dating, then dating seriously. We have now been together for a few years and go to the same college. The thing is though, as much as I care for him…I’m kind of ashamed of the fact we met online. I don’t think it is something I would try again and do prefer the traditonal dating method. Whenever people ask how we met, we usually say “through friends” to avoid scrutiny. Should I get over it? Be honest about how we met? Be proud? Be ashamed?
Firstly, I really and truly appreciate everyone’s answers. There is obviously a clear consensus across the board and I will take that to heart. You all did not judge and that’s what I appreciate most of all. There’s so many good answers I don’t think I can pick it. Thank you all for your time…=-)
To Stella:
He’s doing just fine! It’s something they have to grow out of. They don’t have any balance at first. If he hasn’t gotten steady after a few weeks he might require a trip to the vet but my puppy is healthy now thanks for asking!
The next time someone asks me, I’ll be honest. Maybe I’ll just share the story..I don’t know! lol

I would like to become a scholar, I have been studying for a while and I am a senior now. As such, I would like to know how much a research assistant in Turkey, working at a foundation university, earns on average. I failed to find any up-to-date information on the net.
