Not really, but that number is close to my batting average with women.........
I think you are single because you have not met Mr. Right yet...when you do, it will be obvious!!Hey, maybe that's why I'm single.....my standards are too high!
Anyone can get on base, but did you drive it home...
This recent trun in the thread is not going to be real helpful to 2ndCor.slugging percentage is so much better than batting average.

Very sage wisdom. DW thinks I worship the ground she walks on (and I do). Whenever we are dressed to go out, I comment on how fabulous she looks (and she does). And she is a fabulous conversationalist while I tend to be a good listener...letting her know -in a subtle way- that she was too pretty, nice, smart and capable for me. Which was, and is, the truth, actually. ...

More likely, you are UNWILLING to lower your standards LOW enough to catch "Mr. Right"........
"Where do you want to go?" "I dunno, where do you want to go?" "I don't care, you pick." "No, you choose." conversation even if you're just going out with a friend, let alone a date.
Good luck, SecondCor--enjoy the journey into DateLand. Only advice is to have an idea of where to spend the evening when you make the date, even if you invite her input; it's not good to have the "Where do you want to go?" "I dunno, where do you want to go?" "I don't care, you pick." "No, you choose." conversation even if you're just going out with a friend, let alone a date.

My EX would pull that crap.
Classic passive-aggressive: I refuse input and then reserve the right to criticize whatever is done.
You've learned and moved on. Happy to know you're exploring new relationships on your terms.
All negotiations shall be up front and agreed upon beforehand; I'm getting to old for this crap.
+1!!!I always think of posting a request to set up an ER forum online dating section. Finding someone that knows what LBYM means, and doesn't have 10 maxed out CCs appears to be tough.
If you just date, rather than look for another (partial?) life partner, you don't have to care what her finances look like. It's her domain.+1!!!
Sadly DW has decided to cut me loose after 20 (mostly happy) years. I have no desire to live the rest of my life alone (I'm only 54) but I dread getting back into the dating scene. I'm not ashamed to say I'm damn fussy when it comes to picking life partners, and I would expect the same of her. I don't want to make any frogette/princess comments but I expect to have a lot of uncomfortable dates before the right lady comes along.
Finding someone with compatible values is a huge part of the challenge. Obviously the folks here share some pretty important values. I think a "seeking compatible ER partner" section would provide a great and valuable service to some of the members here.
In my limited experience anyway, attractive women are pretty good at pulling a fresh rabbit out of the hat whenever they need a new rabbit.
Well, even though we talk about our lives and finances, most want to remain anonymous. 'Course then again...there is this thread...Finding someone with compatible values is a huge part of the challenge. Obviously the folks here share some pretty important values.
