The title is pretty self explanatory. I'm Brigitte Dale and I'm a burger-earner.

This economy is forcing lots of people who'd finally gotten a place of their own to go back to having a roommate. Make the best of it! P.S.

Maybe Jen could meet someone new at an evening class in painting or video-blogging or something?

I'm afraid Brigitte is onto my technique! I've been laying down some sweet pheromone action over in the lamb's ear and, dare I say, finding quite a bit of success with the ladies. Then again what do I know, we mollusks are all hermaphrodites.

I'm just saying, if you accidentally fall down, don't be surprised if you're suddenly attracted to a certain snail.

You're welcome.

ONLINE DATEING OR FINEING SOMEONE ONLINE IS BULL. GO OUT IN THE REAL WORLD AND GET SOMEONE TO BE WITH. ADV. OK JUST BE YOURSELF, OK ONE MORE TIME BE YOURSELF. AND DON'T TRY TO HARD. LET LOVE FINE YOU AND IT WILL!!!!!!!!!

I won't go into my online dating experiences in too much detail, but of the 3 dates I went on, one was good and led to a fun 4 month relationship that ended on mutually positive note. If you haven't dated in a while I think it's probably a good place to get your feet wet...so to speak.

AND ON A COMPLETELY UNRELATED NOTE: Brigitte! What kind of dog do you have!? I want to run out and get on today. Smiling

I can't have a link to my own website in my signature? Come on, ABC!

My dog Maddie is a mix- part border collie part Belgian Tervuren. Smiling

"part border collie part Belgian Tervuren" - uhm...do they sell that exact mix or do you have to set up some doggy dating to accomplish that look? Wink

I,m single at sixty and have been for about 30 years. Want to stay single, I guess .... because it is very diffcult to find nice people... I dated this one lady who I knew for six years before I dated her (she worked for a church too) she was a druge dealer, did druges and was not to be trusted in anyway, if you know what I mean! That was a trip, I tell you.

if it's gonna be a while before you guys can manage a consistent relationship, make sure you don't live too far away from one another! This has happened to me multiple times. I'm sorry to say it but love will only take the relationship so far at a great distance, so the closer you live to each other (and therefore the more feasible the visits are), the better.

Seriously.

I can't think of better advice than not flirting with guys while on the floor. But I'll add in my not as wise advice
Don't go on the free dating sites. If they're not willing to pay $15 a month to find true love, they're not going to spend any money on you.
Don't post pictures of you in a certain angle that makes you look good but no one would recognize you from it if meeting for the first time.
Create two profiles. After you meet a guy under the first profile. Use the second one to try and pick him up. If he takes the bait you know he's a player.

Good points! Especially about the photos. I'd always rather have someone think I'm better looking in person than in my photo, rather than vice versa.

Re: Online dating...My brother was living in Texas. He met a lady online, they became cyber-friends.. They wanted to meet. Hitch... she lived in Sydney, Australia. However, she was a veep for Revlon, so a ticket to the States was within her grasp. She flew to Texas, they met. To cut this short, my brother now is living in Perth, Australia, managing a mine of some sort, married, with an adorable little son. He is very happy, as is Jen, his new bride. So online dating can work, for sure.... just be ready to pack your suitcase...for love, lol Smiling
