Dating question? <that I always wanted to ask>

It's the one that was on ebay recently - it was in primer.

Guy who owns it is just down the road (literally 5 minutes from me). He bought it, dropped a ton of cash into it then lost interest in the project.

It needs the shell block sanding and painting (it's in primer - he paid a vette resto shop $$$$ to fix up the fibreglass a couple of years ago), a fuel tank and carpets.

It has the original drivetrain, rebuilt zero mile engine, rebuilt box and a good diff. Suspension is all new, brakes are all new and everything else is there, most of it replaced, rechromed or refurbished.

I feel like I stole it given what he has in it, but that's the problem with old car projects...

Preaching to the choir there JB, preaching to the choir.

I’m so done making babies and truthfully I wouldn’t begrudge someone who turned down being with me because I still had two little tadpoles that I share custody with.

But I don’t have a problem with and could actually see myself with someone who has small children still at home that are about the same ages as my girls. Reason is I think they would be in a better position to understand my situation, than say someone who’s already kicked their young’ins out of the nest already or worst never had kids before..

The later of (never had children) I would avoid or at lest be hesitant about getting involved with. But would consider it depending on their age as well as the understanding that some women can’t have children, or didn’t for whatever reason want to try.

I just don’t want to get into another situation where I get involve with someone who says they don’t want kids only to change their mind at some point down the road. Now at the time I was ok with it but that was ten years ago. Today I’m older and just don’t feel the need to go down that road again.

One thing is for sure – is that anybody who says that they want kids, waffles or is hesitant about having wanting children is “off limits” to me. That’s why the ideal candidate for me is someone who is about my age (+/-4yrs), is divorced and who has already had children. Young children are ok, but not too young – with older children already out of the house being the best.

Hi Bret,

Read your note with interest. I'm starting the nightmare journey of going through a divorce after 22 years of marriage. It's only my MGB Roadster & those empty country roads that keeps me going.

The thought of "dating" again is distant challange. Its an interesting thought about meeting someone with my ex's name, I hope not.

So if someone had the same first name as your ex(s) would this be a show stopper for some of you folks?

Nope. Sure beats accidentally saying old whatsername's name!

All joking aside... a friend of mine was married, had kids, divorced - and remarried someone with the same fairly unusual name. That in itself presents some odd problems though. Like...which of the two wives (ex or present) is being talked about when the name is being used. Etc etc. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
 
First knee jerk response without thinking: What's in
a name? Look to the person, kind of agreeing with
Mickey.

Second thought: If a woman, any woman makes you break
out in a negative emotional response from the very
moment you hear her name, maybe it is better to pass.

Sad part is she could be the one and you'll never
really know.

Happy hunting and best of luck.

Re. the fit of passion; I have never met a gal called "uurrgh".





I'll go get my coat and leave now.


I know some of you are trying to be serious in this thread, but Ian, I'm still giggling at your post ...

Your last line should read ... "I'm here 'til Thursday, try the veal"
