Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about just really bad online daters. What I am talking about is in my case men that are just plain selfish, immature, lazy, mean and no manners whatsoever. This starts on the first message or phone call. Pretty much you should be able to spot a bad dater right off the bat but there are exceptions. Some guys or girls are just plain professionals and they really can fool you into dating them.
I have found that I tend to meet the guys that are just looking for sex or have too many requirements that I just cannot meet. 
You have to know when to pull the plug and kick them to the curb if they do not treat you with respect.
The big mistake is continuing the roller coaster relationship for reasons other than you're just good together. The other person has to be emotionally ready for a relationship. Stay away from daters with substance abuse problems. If they are in recovery, it is recommended that they be sober for at least a year before you get involved with them. They are just plain not ready for a relationship.
I know from experience how hard it is to stay away and just cut it off but it's better to be alone than to be treated badly. Respect yourself enough to know when to walk away.

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about when people change their Usernames so often on Online Dating Sites. OK, I can understand if you took your profile down and deleted it because of a good reason maybe you were in a relationship? SkulCandy has a new username. Everything else is the same, same person, same personality, same games and everything just a new Username.
The only way I know about this is he made sure he checked my profile out so that I could see him back on there. Really dude? I.m over it already.
It doesn't matter how many times you change your username you are still the same person playing games with womens heads.
I feel better now, thanks for letting me vent.

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about what people put in their profiles as " requirements" , meaning you must meet this certain criteria or I'm not dating you. I can see some things like age, height, location etc but I got a message from a guy that had so many " requirements" that I don't even think Jennifer Aniston could meet.
He said if you do the following things then move on because I will not date you.
1. If you are on any kind of antidepressants. Ok, all of my friends are on some kind of antidepressant meds these days.. Seriously?
2. If you've had any plastic surgery. Ok, I've had some work done as most of my friends have too. I mean Botox is a necessity and what's the big deal anyway? This guy is so stupid, if a woman feels good about herself she will be happy and you will be happy too. I don't know one woman who doesn't want to look good and when you get older some things are a given like Botox.
3. No drama. Ok, as I've covered this before but life is full if drama and everyone has some or you are just not a normal person.
4. No baggage. This is the same as drama, everyone has baggage and life experiences make most people better and stronger people.
5. Married more than once. Ok, I'm pissed at this one because everyone makes mistakes and the men you need to worry about are the ones who never got married. Commitment problems there and this guy says he's never been married yet... To me that's a big red flag if a guy is over 40 and has never been married.
So to sum this all up, the guy is unrealistic and I did message him back and say I don't meet all your criteria and good luck finding someone who does because that person doesn't exist.

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk to you about Sexual Harassment in the workplace. Ladies and Gentleman, please be careful and pay attention to the way people talk to you at work. This is for both sexes male and female. It starts with a "Hello Honey" or "Hello Sweetheart" or something similiar. Most people would probably think this is ok and innocent but in most cases it isn't.
It quicky moves on from there to other sayings or gestures and can lead to sexual assault. Anything that a person says or does to you that makes you feel uncomfortable, please let them know right away the FIRST time. You can easily say "I'm not your Sweetheart". That will usually stop them right there. Trust me and I speak from experience, if you don't stop it in the beginning, it will only get worse.
Young people especially need to know about this so if anyone comes to you in the workplace and are complaining of this, please advise them to go to a Supervisor and also to Document the day and time and what was said on paper. You may need this later idf this escalates. I was sexually harassed and assaulted in my workplace and it was a total nightmare. Thanks for reading.

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about men that I have met on Online Dating Sites that are just "Players". What I mean by this is that they are just sketchy. They date multiple women and you may not find out about this until later but eventually you will no doubt. They say all the right things to get you to hold on to that string. The minute you grab on they pull back. Then the minute you let go, they come running. It's a crazy game they play. If you are too available they don't want you but if they have to chase you down or if there is another man in the mix he knows about then it's "game on get that girl".
When can we ever be real? And is it really possible to find love on an Online Dating site? I'm still trying to figure it out...

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about Holidays and Online Dating. I have been on dating sites off and on for years and it has been my experience that the time leading up to and even on the holidays, I get a lot more traffic. It just proves that people are lonely and that's ok. No one wants to spend holidays alone and I get that. I have spent many holidays alone even when I was married. Oh yes, my husband was in the same house but I was still alone. I'd rather be psychically alone than with someone and feel alone.
Even the guys that say " Casual Dating No Commitment" are a lot more active on the holidays. They aren't fooling anyone, everyone is looking for love.

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about love and relationships. Let's face it, it's pure attraction that leads you to someone in the first place. Then if you start dating and form a relationship, that is when you learn about someone. Sure, there can be attraction and love but to be a life partner with someone you have to be on the same level I believe. I married a man with no job. That was seriously hard because I loved him but I was too young to realize that he was basically a loser who became a drug addict and still is it this day.
I should have never married him he was so opposite if me. I was a working mother of 2 young kids and supporting the household which was not fair. Eventually I figured that out and divorced him but that was a bad decision.
It's tempting when you meet someone that you fall in love with but really does not have their life in order. You can either wait it out or get out and find someone else that's on the same level as yourself.
I choose to walk away.

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about people who put "Must Be Drama Free" on their profiles. Give me a break people, who doesn't have just a little drama in their lives? Whether it be a kid, or family member or an ex... You're not normal unless you have a little drama and let's face it, everyone has baggage so people need to get over that too!
You haven't evolved as a person if you haven't dealt with real life. Give me a break I survived a ex husband who stole my money and tried to get someone to kill me! The whole police thing and investigation and lawyer fees etc.. I've become a much smarter person because of it. Bad things happen in life and everything happens for a reason... Get over it people no one is perfect...

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about dating preference's on Online Dating sites. Let's talk about "Casual Dating No Commitment". I think this is just BS. Honestly, I believe everyone is looking for love I don't care who you are or what you put on your profile were all looking for the same thing.
I stay away from guys that have that on their profile because what they are looking for is sex before love and it should be the other way around. Us ladies just give sex away too fast and then we get hurt. It's our own fault. Then if you're lucky enough to stay in the relationship then someone gets hurt because your emotions on both sides take over. Eventually, if you don't commit after being involved, then you just keep hurting each other.
There should always be love before sex and ladies, make the guy earn your love, don't just give it away because life is too short for regrets.. You'll love yourself more if you wait. I speak from experience...

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about Politics and Online Dating. I think this is a very important point to make. Not sure about most people buy I myself think it is a deal breaker to date someone who is the opposite political party than myself. First off, you won't even think the same as the other person. I tried to date someone of the opposite political party and found we didn't have hardly anything in common at all in fact we argued most of the time we were together.
Please note that I have a lot of friends that are the opposite political party but it's not the same as dating someone or even thinking about spending the rest of my life with someone who thinks opposite of myself.
These days politics play an important role in all our lives whether you want to believe it or not so it's important to be with someone of the same party. Just sayin..
