Well, at least I have my dignity..

And that ain't bad sister! One rule we must all live by...do not date married men. For that matter, separated men, as if, or the famous, she is out of town a lot and she does not give me the support or love I need. We stay together for the kids? I say, use what God gave you..don't act like a fool. I know, it all falls on deaf ears...

The Old Rules Board

Hi DreamGirlDiva,

Would you happen to know where to find the Rules Board through ThirdAge. It used to be an entire forum dedicated to women using the Rules and wanting to discuss it with each other. I haven't been on in several months, but now I can't seem to find the old board. Would you happen to know?

Rules for Personal Ads?

Hi there. Can someone please send me a link to advice about creating/posting a personal ad? I'm helping a friend to create her profile.

I remember a few years ago, I read something about how one should post a lot of pictures, and be very short and sweet in the profile part. But anything more specific would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

About me: happily married with a baby girl, thanks to the Rules. :)

Hi all!

I have a bf now for several months and I want to maintain his interest. I have read the Rules book and try to follow the rules and not slip into old patterns. Things are getting complicated now.

Spell Check note

"Women who Follows" is not appropriate. It should be Women who Follow or The Woman who Follows.......you're welcome

Just starting out 'Rules'y' need advice...

Hi everyone. I have just starting seeing a Lawyer recently that I met online
We have had one coffee meeting (DZ) and 2 regular dinner dates. We have alot in common in terms of children and ex spouse situations. There wasn't instant attraction on my part, but I wanted to continue seeing him to see if something could develop. He is a really amazing guy!
On our second date, there was definitely some sparks, and we had a wonderful time...but I am still a little on the fence with in terms of real chemisty.
Anyway, my delema is this; apparently, he has a ex spouse who is clearly crazy. He shared with me that he had a great life and marriage untill his ex had there third child, at which time it trigged some post partum mental illness and absolutely changed her. Her behavior and attitude was so severe that almost over night he found himself a divorced single parent of three.
When I went through my divorce 3 years ago, the experience was so tramatic for me, that I developed a anxiety disorder, which was a type of a post tramatic stress response, for which I am now being treated for with great sucsess.
When I was first diagnosed the anxiety was very dibilitating, to the point where I needed family and friends to be there to help me with my 3 children. But now, it has been 3 years, and I have built a wonderful life for my 3 and I and have very minimal occurances with anxiey due to the anti-depressant I am currently on.
I have not disclosed anything about my anxiety issues with Mr Lawyer yet. But he has been asking some very penitrating questions about "how do you feel about 6 kids?" ect. and has confided that he does like me, and I get the feeling he is really considering me as a prospect for a serious relationship. Part of me feels like I should tell him about my disorder, to be fair befor he gets to attatched, the other part of me feels like I should wait a little while longer. I don't want to waste his time. If he does not want to deal with any type of these issues, that would be tottally understandable, due to what he has gone thru. But I don't really know when and how to say anything.
Just wondering what is honest, and appropriate for the situation.
Any suggestions???

My thought:  if you have

My thought:  if you have to question whether or not you feel chemistry, there is none.  Believe me, I have kissed a lot of frogs and there really is such a thing as compatibility AND chemistry together in the same person.  Also, why do you feel like you need to divulge your medical history to this man?  Because you want to be "honest" with him??  There's nothing wrong with honesty, but I wouldn't give him more information than is needed.  Don't sell yourself short.  Let a man love you for who you are not for what kind of person you tell them due to your medical issue.  Another thing...if he is asking about how you feel about six kids, it is too early to be discussing that kind of future decisions.  I might toss him aside just for that.  I hopw all this makes sense.  I wish you all the best.

Hello Everyone

I have one other username: Emily633 that I used about 6 mo. ago. I was unemployed for 8 mo, but I got a job 5 mo. ago and I moved to a nicer apartment. I've been very happy. :)
Its been awhile since I went out on a date..(last time I went on one I was still unemployed).
I recently met someone through a weekend art seminar I signed up for (3 wks ago)...

I absolutely can't figure out how your new forum works

Sorry , I signed for the new TR forum on a DreamGirl site....Absolutely uncomprehending .....Can figure out where is the all posts are ...

I think you sign up and wait

I think you sign up and wait for an administrator to ensure you aren't a spy, then you can access the site.  I am having similiar frustrations, but waded it out, as my latest isn't calling so I feel in a sewer tunnel, just moving along in shit toward the light. slow and steady, I guess.
