Of course, I know about feeling lonely while in a relationship also.

I may not be in a relationship, but I certainly am not lonely by any stretch of the imagination,Not at all.

Alright 46, just admit it. You want me, you want me, you want me.

I'll be taking appropriate cover awaiting your response.

No because I enjoy teaching my boyfriend all the medical stuff and he thinks I'm smart...but I would definitely marry a police officer,U.S army soldier (dating one right now).I like uniforms and looking "smart"

I remember looking at him and saying to myself "Damn, that is one handsome man!". The feeling was mutual, he was attracted to me as well, but it took close to two years because we were both still involved with someone else and were not the type to cheat. My husband is perfect to me in every way (well, not everything...), but we are very compatible in the ways that count the most. The advantage is that we do work for the same place, but not in the same department or shift, so, we have very interesting talks when we are home together because we see things from different perspectives. Leads to lively conversations and debates.

Another positive side of it is that his sister is an RN, an administrator at one of our sister hospitals, so, when I attended nursing school, he was very familiar with the drill, knew when to stay out of my way and was extremely supportive. Heaven forbid if something were to happen where I was single again, the next guy would have very heavy shoes to fill and I doubt it would be easy.
The first time I laid eyes on my boyfriend I thought 'he was ok" but never thought of him anything more than a friend.Couple weeks later he started chasing me and now I'm madly in love with him and I think he is perfect altough very difficult personality...love has a strange way of revealing itself.

I'm going to marry someone in the medical profession and we live together now. He is also an RN. I do enjoy having someone who understands, but trust me, we have plenty to talk about that does not involve work or nursing in any way.

Thing is, so often when a man marries a woman with kids and the "bonus grandchildren" are embraced by the extended family, the biodad isn't in the picture, nor is his family even if they were married for many years, so that isn't an issue. One often wonders, however, how much of that was the mom's doing, and it wasn't justified, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me when women who have sons do it. How would they like it if he got divorced and the scales were tipped more in her direction, and they lost their grandkids just for being related to him? Happens all the time.
If a potential mate had children, I would need to investigate several things...mainly the relationship or interaction between my mate and their mother...is it filled with hatred...would she want to take him to court AFTER we married when our assets are combined and I have to take a chunk out of my own salary? Is the child resistant to another woman dating his father, or most importantly, how would this affect MY child? I must say that I am glad that my husband didn't have any children so this was a mute issue, but I wouldn't want my or my son's life in disarray due to my wanting a relationship with a particular man.

Like SueSquatch said, "no, my husband wouldn't like it" LOL

But honestly if I were single, I wouldn't be seeking out a medical professional to date or marry but I wouldn't be against dating/marrying a med pro.

If single now, I wouldn't be into the bar and/or club scene, I don't attend church so that wouldn't be a place for me to meet single men, and all my friends are married or in a serious relationship as are their friends/family so no one would have that "single friend" to try and set me up with. The one place that I would probably find someone would be work and since I am a nurse, most men I would come into contact with would be medical professionals too.

So, in short, I would not actively seek them out but I wouldn't turn them away either. I would be an equal opportunity dater

Sorry, You are absolutely safe from me. I looked at your profile and you have a very significant item that makes you completely unsuitable for me. See. You are safe as can be.
