He should just move. ;)

Rick, I know guys that can keep it going into their 60's. They are mostly enormously wealthy. I just contend for us "normal" guys, the pipeline dries up by about 40.

On the other side, one of my former college roommate's wife's sister, who is a VERY hot and athletic 27, can't get a date for the life of her.

I don't disagree, but by choosing to live at home until 40, he has assumed running of much of the family business. In fact, his parents gave him his house and built another one on the property...

His parents now travel 6 months out of the year while he runs things at home...

Legion, give her my number.

I am not really worried about growing old alone, because honestly old ladies are highly annoying to me. ;)

A good dog will take care of any long term companionship needs i might have. In all honesty, deep inside, i am really a loner i think.

But i do keep my eyes out for LTR's, i just don't see a need to marry them. You don't have to give longtime ex-girlfriends half your stuff when it ends (something i've watched my dad and many friends do many times).

I really think the perfect relationship is one where you see the girl/guy about two times a week. That way you always miss each other, and look forward to seeing each other on date nights, and the sex stays fresh way, way longer.

On a final note, a lot of you guys that think you are happily married....well.....you're not, you just don't know that your wife is messaging (Or worse) some guy like me 10x a day, every day, talking like a filthy 5 dollar ho on Yahoo IM because she's desperate to feel young and desirable and wanted and NAUGHTY again.

Seriously.

Comes out at 2:00AM to help with a clutch job?
You find her fascinating when she talks?
You enjoy being in her company?
You find her very attractive?
You get the feeling she like you?
You enjoy her friendship and being in her company?

Sounds like how I felt about my wife 26 years ago and still going strong.
Is she the one???jump in and find out! Sounds like she is worth the risk!;);)

I agree he should DEFINITELY make a move, and i see nothing wrong with falling in love and having a nice, long lasting LTR.

Just don't marry her! ;)

Take it slow. IIRC, the longer the courtship, the more you will enjoy it and the more you have to look back on.

Treat this girl like she is the one, and show her that you are capable of being a steady adult with the ability to make dreams come true. She will let you know when it is time to take the next step. Whatever you do, do not get goofy if she talks about kids or jobs or the future. That is your formal interview for the position of father, husband and provider. Do not lie, but be aware that if the answers are not to her liking, your days are numbered.

I wish you well, and all happiness. Always marry for love, but be aware that you also need to be compatible. It sounds GREAT so far. SmileWavy

No. No need to put yourself out there like that at this point.

I don't recommend this sort of talk with her at all, based on what you said about her not being "into relationships."

She could easily see this as trying to pin her down to some sort of minor commitment and that could run her off.

Best to just let chemistry and the fun of being together take its natural course for now... the rest will come if things continue to work as well as they have so far.

And, you'll know when it's the right time for a longer, deeper kiss... she'll let you know... that's the best way for that to happen.

I think it was Rammstein who advised you to lay back on the booze a good bit when she comes this weekend. That is good advice; you don't want to move too fast... or for thoughts to pop out of your mouth before you run them past the judgment center of your brain.

Take it relatively slow... if she is as into you as she seems to be, there's not a better way to drive her nuts and get her to let you know how she feels.

I don't really reccomend playing it slow and cool.

Fortune favors the bold. It always has, it always will.

Jeez it ain't that hard. When you're alone be intimate with her dude, open the door and she if she walks in. Then you can talk all smoochy and stuff. You can be physically and emotionally intimate with her without getting all "lifetime serious".

pics and number, pm ok

advice: wear protection

Can she do clutch work?

U seem to be confusing love with sex. Love has very little to do with sex..it is about caring for that other person and wishing them well. Love is the sum total of all your emotions about this person.

By asking you to think about the question of loving her, I wanted you to arrive at a self awarness that yeah I do love this person.

Hahaha, yep, if this chick mentions flower shop and large diamond ring in the same sentence, run! Gosh, where 'is' Motion...

Interesting mix of opinions here. I can see all sides, even Snipers. Sounds like you have plenty of life experience to draw on. My advice would be to not get focused on some imagined long term goal of marriage. Enjoy the process, take it slow, watch for red flags. I'm engaged, sure I've found a great partner after a crappy long marriage but taking it slow and fortunate she's well off financially so I know that is not a motivator. I'm 46, single for a few years and there are is no shortage of divorcees out there for whatever type of relationship you might want. I wouldn't date anyone more than 10 years younger but it seems like there is a sweet spot of mid 30's to mid 40's women who's first marriage went bust. There are far too many of them looking for "the one" and far too many who need financial support. I already lost half my stuff once. That will never happen again. The only place "the one" exists is in the Matrix.

That was a truly epic story. :eek:

Last I heard he had taken off for Montana and was running a motorcycle tour biz.

According to ancient Chinese wisdom, at time of marriage, the wife should be "half the man's age plus 7". That is the ideal age differential for a happy marriage.

I don't think I'll be able to keep up with a 42-year-old when I hit 70. Maybe this was the ideal age differential for happy gold diggers.

Pay attention Schumi, the force is strong with this one.

They are a wise and learned people...
