I can't even remember when my last 'date' was..... [huh]
Hey, at least you've logged a 'last', even a 'first'... lol which is way ahead of some of us.Quigley Brown said:I can't even remember when my last 'date' was..... [huh]

We are very independent people (what else would you expect from a 5 year trans-atlantic relationship where you saw each other every 3-6 months?), but love being around each other. Ive found marriage to be exciting and challenging, but I'll always love coming home knowing my wife is there, and that we share the same interests, meaning we can sit on ebay and drool at the expensive 50s furniture, collect records together, and of course dance and wear vintage stuff.
It will always be hard, however, knowing that whether we live in the UK or the US, one of us will be without our family nearby...

They've hardly spent any nights apart since they got married in 88. It's really interested to hear how many of you make things work by living separately.

I quite often see relationships and marriages around me disintegrate that I think might have survived if they'd just lived apart. There are no rules to love and sometimes our romantic notions of what love 'should' be can't be squared with the realities of relationships.
I figure if I meet her at 92, then my 93rd year is still a very happy one.

And don't underestimate a good sense of humor.

Sure some girls are superficial, and some are too hardcore into their own clique or style. but the majority of women are quite open to a man with the strength of his own self. i have dated so many different types of women and it has never been an issue.
