Because each of my interviews with future clients is essentially a teachable moment, keeping a diary allows my clients and others a unique perspective into the constantly evolving world of dating and relationships. By reading about what others set as their expectations and desires for their future relationships each of us is afforded the opportunity to personally reflect on what it is we want for ourselves. Enjoy!
I have been meeting men online off and on for a few years. I have learned how to filter them out pretty quickly, especially if they start with sexual innuendos.
When I am talking he often interrupts me or immediately takes my story and relates it to something he has experienced. I can almost feel him waiting for me to stop talking so he can talk again.
I met a man three months ago and we have seen each other four times. Each time we get together we have a good time and he seems to enjoy it as much as I do. However, two or three weeks will pass before we see each other again.
I have been married three times and divorced this last time for two years. I know I don't want to live alone for the rest of my life and I feel I am ready to be in a relationship but I don't trust myself and my judgement when it comes to finding the right woman.
Dear Donna, I met a man three weeks ago and we had a couple of very pleasant dates. However, he also has a home in another state and spends more of his time there than here. We have been texting everyday since he left a couple of weeks ago, sometimes several times a day.
Dear Donna, I am recently widowed and a lady who was a mutual friend to my wife and me made it abundantly clear that she would like to spend time with me and help me through this difficult time. Initially I was grateful for her concern and company but I have come to understand she has romantic notions about the two of us.
About three years ago I met a man from an online service and we texted and emailed for months before we met. I really enjoyed the meeting and he seemed to enjoy it too.
I met a lady a month ago and initially I was very excited about her. The first two weeks we saw each other several times a week but she travels with her job and I have not seen her for 10 days.
