About Me

I am an Older Single Male who for most of his Life saw things from the view point of a Single Status. It has now come to pass that I can no longer say that that is what I see of Life! The "Singular " "I" has become the "Us"! It is yet to be seen how that will affect my Life! Even as we age, Life has never ending possibilities!

Interests:
Photography, Walking, and Learning! Oh Yes! Life in All It's Many Forms!!

Making Love Work

Making Love work means following a list of "What To Do" and another of "What Not To Do". These Lists are compiled in the "Getting To Know You" period known as Dating. The serious work of making sure you have all subjects covered comes when a couple becomes "Engaged To Be Married". The "Handfasting" of old saw this as a time period of " A Year & A Day". Love and Romance aside, this is serious business! The Marriage Contract you will sign is for "LIFE". If you are not sure if it will work. maybe Handfasting or the modern equivalent is for you. Try Before You Buy is not such a bad idea. But, nowadays, with the Computer and it's many ways of Social Contact, a new wrinkle has been added to the Dating Game. On-Line Dating! On-Line Match making! Getting To Know You now has a new way to work. It joins the Telephone as a way to make and maintain contact with someone many miles away. This was thought to be something for the New Generation to do,but, not for the Older Population to try. Too Risky! Not Personal enough! After all, how can you really get to know someone On-Line? Small Talk! It works just as well when you type it as when you write it in a letter. Better even now that Chat is in use. You can take any question you have and send it off to see what the other has to say about it. Over a period of a month of this back and forth banter, you can get to know a lot about how the other thinks on a variety of subjects. You can match the answers against what you think about it. That is how you judge Compatibility.  You can start to swap Photos so a Face can be put to the words. Then, when you are ready, the telephone comes into play. Now you have a Voice to add to the equation. Now. if all you are looking for is a "Bed Mate", you can shorten this up and jump right in at a sooner time. But, if it is a Life Mate that you seek, take your time. Ask and answer away till you really have a good picture in your mind of Who this person is. Start filling in the List of Requirments you seek for the Perfect Match. You may never get the list compleated with all the blanks having an "OK" next to them. You are the Judge of when to say "GO". If this is done right, a Long Distance Romance can work. You will, at some time, need to have a "Meet". This is where Chemistry meets Practicallity. Both are needed to go beyond the Talking Stage! Now, what is my first hand knowledge of this? Does 3400 miles sound like a Long Distance Relationship to you? How about 5 months of E-Mails, Chat, and Hundreds of hours of Phone Talk sound? All this before we ever met! So!?! How did it go??  Well enough to have "Us" planning her return "Home" ASAP! She has Connections to break,and, Arrangments to make before she can return to what she sees as Her Home. I will fly out to meet her so we can do the return trip together. We have only one more list to check off. This will be done each and every day that it is possible. I have posted it here. This is a list that all couples should follow. Not a hard one to follow. In fact, we may work on it more than just one time a day. Try it! When I have a firm date to board that plane, I will add some more details on how it is going. Do not want to Jinx it.  Art
