The holy trinity of wholesomeness: Fred Rogers – be kind to others; Steve Irwin – be kind to animals; Bob Ross – be kind to yourself

When I set up my profile page on a dating site (Christian Mingle) I used a picture of me holding a newborn lamb

I make fun of myself for writing paragraphs on here, but the truth is, most guys will just see a photo of a woman they think is interesting and type out. “What is up?” Katie later said that I was the first guy that typed back a paragraph or two. I had lambs and was interesting and could share.

The USDA actually matched me with Katie. This is how it worked out; my local USDA-NRCS Conservationist heard I got divorced and was going to set me up with her friend who was a Dr and who had sheep as a kid. Naturally I liked the sound of dating a Dr, so when she said she was going to New Hampshire for the weekend and would talk to her, I was happy. I kept thinking, this is perfect; new Hampshire is 4 hours away from Maine. just enough time to drop and and date her, but not be a daily kind of dating thing. PERFECT.

So when the conservationist came back, I told her this, and she was like, “oh no, she lives in pshire for the weekend.” At that I was thinking that was too far away, but when I was on Christian Mingle and did not see a good match I thought of my thoughts on New Hampshire, expanded it to New Hampshire and there was Katie.

I have lost count of the dating profiles I have see that say “um I’m not very good at talking about myself, if you want to know anything just ask” https://datingreviewer.net/pl/randki-dla-lds/. For crying out loud give me something to go on!

Like another author up there, I have no “Game.” In fact, was unpopular with. well, out with it. just about everyone.

I have spent decades being jealous of people who get along with people, not just men who are good at attracting women (although they certainly are on that grudge list). I have an innate ability to arrive at the back door of life and be raked around by the security guards and go home with a black eye.

Most of my life, I’ve been able to really connect with about one human being (and I’m not talking men and women or sex here) once every couple of years. I have had a deep, sincere friendship with maybe three people my whole life. I think, I’m sure it’s different for everyone, but for me, a romantic relationship *SHOULD* evolve out of a good friendship.

I look back at the five or six women (and three men) I have had intercourse with in my forty years, and must admit that they were almost entirely based on impulse. I did not follow the advice I am giving you now.

I don’t remember who said it, but I remember hearing: there are people who knock on the door that you won’t even open the door for. Then, there are people who knock on the door, and you will open the door but stand there to see what they have to say. Then there are people you will let in to the entryway, but no further. Then there are people you will let into your living room and drink coffee with. And there are still other people who are welcome all the way to your bedroom– and it pays to know which is which.
