Are you dating?

Ok, question for all you July-single-babies out there. All this reminicing about my pre-school sexual escapades has gotten me thinking-- Have you been dating since the operation? I just started to in December, and it is the first time I have been on a date for about 4 years.... It's been a LOOOONG time (TMI, I know). I am kind of embarassed asking all this, but you guys are like family. How do you handle it? The whole process freaks me out-- When do I tell them about the WLS surgery- what do I say about the scars if anythign gets that far, What about all the floppy skin? How do I act? I feel like a 16 year old again. And if you are dating, where are you finding these luscious men or women? My experiences on Jdate.com and eharmony have been so-so. A few dates, but no one to write home about. Would appreciate your input or thoughts (even from those of you who are happily married)

im not single, but I figure i would put my two cents in. I always think that the best way to meet someone is through a mutual friend. Usually the friend knows you both pretty well and would know if you would "click" with the other. And, at least you know there not a wack-a-doo (well, they still may turn out to be but you have a better chance of them not being).

I SOOOOO Want a date, know any single men in the Chicago area??? I thought that I would be getting some male attention by now but still NOTHING!!!

I've been on a few dates and have told them at different times. Depending on how the dates are going. The other realization that has come to mind is that dating sucked when I was heavy and it still sucks. Neither friends or Eharmony has worked for me either. I had a friend set me up with someone, that didn't go well. My doctors program strongly suggests that you don't drink alcohol for 1 year, I shared this with my date and she figured this meant I was a potential alcoholic. I don't know how to find the right one but I guess when it happens it will happen. Of course if any of you knows any women in the Minneapolis area, LET ME KNOW!

My husband generally frowns on me dating.

Really? Good to know. Come on Channon- How do I meet some nice men (that are Straight and single). Know anyone in NY?

Andrea, I know two really nice guys in NYC--Oh wait...they're gay! So...nevermind-unless that doesn't bother you! You want to hear something sappy? My hubby and I were set up by our parents!! How goofy is that?!?! Well.....I'll be damned if they didn't know what they were doing!! Good luck darlin!!!! It sucks-I remember!! Channan

Glad it's you and not me-how's that for support!! I'm totally kidding! Think of all the first kisses you still get to have. (Andrea)(Andrea's date) They don't have a smiley face for nookie-well maybe the "smokin" guy.

Andrea, I spent most of my life living in New York City.( well, being from Florida now.. where else would I be from?) And it was dare I took from a friend that led me to my husband.. She dared me to go visit a goodlooking friend of hers.. ( My Hubby) knowing that his girlfriend at the time was in his apartment.. I went, we met .. the rest is history....we fell in .. Just be open to everything.. a chance encounter can lead you to the right guy.. and In New york that can happen as easily at the drycleaners as at a singles party..Hey! I hear hey trhow some kind of singles thing each weekend at Tavern on the Green in Central Park.. ( I had my wedding reception there in 1989) .. anyway good luck sweetie.. and in the mean time.. here's the Guy. To heat things up!!! peace Mo
