I have a date Saturday night

I already told him I have mental health issues. He seemed cool with it.

some seem cool with it just don’t reveal everything on the first date. i have read too many times on here where someone told the person they loved or at least liked that they have schizophrenia, or any other psychological issue and they get hurt. i know i don’t tell strangers about my schizoaffective disorder. my partner told her nurse friends but they seem to understand but you never know who is willing to give you a chance.

I have a date, Saturday night too.
person’s name is Walter Savitch.

lol lol just kidding.

Best of luck. I hope it works out for you.

That’s wonderful. Have a great time :slight_smile:

Oh the date went pretty well. I think he is an okay guy. He just seemed a little horny.

The fact that you told him you have mental health issues is why is his dating you. He figures you for an easy target.

I never tell people about my illness. I told my wife and a couple of her family members after I knew them about nine years. Has anyone told their friends that you have schizophrenia and have been treated differently or at work and they treat you different?

That is such a turn off (to me). Can’t a man even pretend to be a respectful and respectable for the sake of a date? I have had horrible life experiences, so feel free to ignore me but god damn, men are animals. As soon as puberty hits, they become predators and it doesn’t stop until about 70 or even later for some men. Sometimes I wish I were gay so I could date women but, sadly, I am straight and there are no good men.

Sorry he was like that. Maybe next time.

when me and my soulmate first met we planned to go to the local waterhole and shoot pool and just hang out… I had no expectations on anything else. she came with a group of her friends mixed company 2 couples and one of the other couples dude friends…if it was all women it would have been very intimidating… they invited me back to her house for the after party plus it was too loud to talk at the watering hole… still zero expectations of anything beyond I may have made some new friends. we hit it off and very much enjoyed each others company swapping stories and trading jokes. I did and do find her very much attractive but maybe its just my age showing some I never liked it when someone comes off like its mating season so the thought of oh im gonna get some booty was never there especially the first time we hung out… we hung out a lot more as friends got to know each other pretty well swapped life stories laughed a lot shared goals hopes dreams ect… and finally I asked her out and its been 5 almost 6 years…

so @47average maybe calling it hanging out and having other friends around as a first meeting with a new friend… no no I doubt that would stop the majority of dudes from acting like teens… there are a few of us who don’t let our sex drive steer our interactions though hoping you woman who have put up with a bunch of crap will meet one who is just happy to have good company…

I know there are good guys out there. No doubt. It just hasn’t been my experience to come across them. If I dog can be trained to ‘stay’, then most certainly a man can train himself to ‘stay’. It is really just a matter of how boys are raised and the behavior that society encourages. Men are almost encouraged to go after that p*ussy. I am not letting them off the hook. They are still responsible for their behavior but society doesn’t help.

i blame a lot of it on the music being pushed as popular on the youth… its rather filthy… if we promoted the artists in the music industry who do it because they love it instead of the ones who do for the drugs women or men and power… i can almost always tell how a person will be on a date by their choice in music lol… but i agree we are over populated enough divorce rates are ridiculous and society seems to push to breed and breed often and with as many as possible…

Oh ya, don’t get me started on the lack of birth control. People have kids because they are ‘supposed to’, they have kids on accident but it’s the minority who actually have kids because they want to and because they are completely prepared to financially, spiritually and time-wise.

Oh ya. That’s a whole other thing
