What? This is a surprise to any of you?

Darlinboy · 6 January 2012, 08:58 PM

There is no instruction book.

It's all on-the-job training.

The good news.... it is safe to wear your Rolex while doing so.

You must wear the wrong watch Paul!

What Rolex impresses women? Threads should be back!

mjclark32 · 6 January 2012, 10:55 PM

Smile and say yes

Lisa · 6 January 2012, 11:12 PM

Paul, maybe you need to set up an appointment with this gal.

figbo · 6 January 2012, 11:15 PM

Simple rule.

Lisa · 6 January 2012, 11:19 PM

Raf, I like your pie chart best... you know, the one about liking the same things and hating the same things....

Try not to over think things or listen to conjecture and old wife's tales. Just be yourself and that will eventually be enough for someone who is right for you.

He tried that already but it didn't work.

taughtmepatience · 7 January 2012, 03:20 AM

Don't be too aggressive right off the bat. Women can smell desperation from ten miles away. Oh yeah... and be yourself.

TheVTCGuy · 7 January 2012, 03:36 AM

This may come as a HUGE shock to some (many...all) of you, but I really don't (never have) had trouble finding women that would be interested in dating me. I'm not TOO scary looking, charming, fun, and, oh yeah, some people say I have a pretty good sense of humor

I've had several dates with nice ladies the last few months, and I know a couple at least, we're interested in continuing, it's just that, I don't find that "spark" any more.

Like with my ex-girlfriend, our relationship ended over a year ago now but I remember very clearly, even after almost a year and a half of dating, I'd still get nervous when I called her. You know what I'm talking about, those butterflies in your stomache, was always excited to see her...

I miss that. I've been out with nice ladies, but... there just isn't that ... "spark" with any of them... Sigh....

How about it? To any other middle-aged single people, is it gone forever? Am I destined to move (back) in with Jocke and live my life a hermit?

Do you ever get that Spark again? Even at my stage in life?

I hope so....

Besides, mine as well either give up dating all together or turn gay, the best woman in the world is already married... and lives in Oklahoma.

figbo · 7 January 2012, 03:58 AM

I'm such a troll...

I get that sparkle when I talk to you Paul...

Now how come I'm not the best person in Montreal in your book eh!?

Of course you should expect to find joy again. I witnessed it myself with my own father, a widower. He remarried in his late 50s and had what I observed to be a very satisfying and loving life; my stepmother became my mother, a truly fine person. So I know it's possible.

Rooting for you.

Lisa · 7 January 2012, 04:24 AM

I dunno Paul.... maybe you could give the other team a try. I'm teasing, but you do remind me of a story shared by a cute, pert gal I used to work with. She was married to a minister for more than 10 years. She never felt a "spark" for him, and she would ask herself, "is this all there is?" Something was missing, but she had no idea what, or why she felt that way. Then, she was at a big event, an art show or something, and her eyes met with someone from across the room... that spark ignited. It was a woman! And guess what? She's never looked back. She and her husband amicably parted ways and she finally started living the life she was meant to have. Last I heard, she's living happily ever after.

Moral of the story? I'm not sure.

Maybe you need to go to more art shows?

Lisa · 7 January 2012, 04:26 AM

Oh dear... this happens too often. I make a completely dorky and pointless post moments after a very wise, intelligent and articulate woman posts something meaningful.

chicfarmer1 · 7 January 2012, 04:30 AM

Lisa, you know we tag team. I'm up next for the comic post after your next very thoughtful one!

Lisa don't give him some ideas, I'm still happy with my wife.

The Joker · 7 January 2012, 05:25 AM

Paul if I come to San Diego and we go out on the pull you can be my Wingman anytime. You can engage the minger, whilst I go in for the kill with the hottie.

How does that sound?

Johny · 7 January 2012, 06:05 AM

hi paul...just move back to jockes. you know that he went to a lot of trouble to build you a room.

rfknauss · 7 January 2012, 07:00 AM

Paul ...... always glad to help you out ..... so here is my advice.

mfer · 7 January 2012, 07:04 AM

dumb luck while keeping your head up.

Perfect Wes! My motto was always: Go Ugly Early!

threemonkeys · 7 January 2012, 09:33 AM

I'm 45 and happily married. But I swear - if I became single I would probably just stay home and read a book. I'm not sure that I could find that 'spark' with anyone either.

How's that for encouragement? But seriously - I think love bites you on the butt when you're least expecting it. And if it doesn't, you can always fall back on Raf's online suggestion.

I feel exactly the same way, Craig. Raising kids has a way of pulling your priorities in a different direction.

The Joker · 7 January 2012, 09:53 AM

Blimey, come on guys, you're not in a retirement home.. yet.

Now you should all go out and rent Cocoon, that should make you all feel better.
