No matter how good it is going no one wants to hear the old whole story. Save it - consider writing the new chapter together and only refer back to your old book in comparison or as lessons learnt.

Men - please no ex stories. And, loving your children is great only I do not want to hear everything about them on our dates - especially if I have never met them. perhaps you are not ready to be out dating yet!

Women - same goes for you - no ex or children stories dominating all conversations.

my question is what is the hurry. All of these things that you are talking about should have been contained in e-mails sent back and forth in the beginning trying to get to know each other.

after you both are comfortable with a bit of knowledge about one another then try dating, so at least one has something to talk about. What is the rush. This is exactly why I will not date anyone local and you guys can't figure out why its not working!

patience and persistence will get you everything you want. If it's a quick shag there are places and situations for that. I don't see any profiles that say come and do me quick baby!
