Hi All!!
I'm feeling more comfortable here on the forum and I've run into a problem I'd like your help and advice with. Maybe some of the other women here have had similar experiences.
I'm female, divorced, 55, getting fat and wrinkled, LOL. All I want to do is go MDing once in a while, but, I don't want to go alone.
Last year I posted on another forum for a hunting buddy, and a guy living nearby responded. I told him to talk to his wife and have her come too. He said she was OK with it. We exchanged emails, and the tone started to turn personal, him relating "problems with his marriage" etc. I don't think he evr mentioned it to his wife.Well, I backed away from that situation.
Recently a very nice person on this forum PMed me that several members were getting together and invited me along. I would love to, and it wouldn't bother me to be the only woman with a group of guys, as long as it didn't bother them. As someone posted elsewhere on the forum, I don't want to talk or socialize, I just want to MD.
The problem is that it bothers wives, and I can definitely see their point, but, they don't want to go and they don't want their husbands to go with me!!
I'd love to meet and strike up a friendship with them too. I haven't met many people since I've moved here.
I've also had a situation on another forum where I innocently PMed a guy and he got the idea I was hitting on him!! Weird!! PMed me back to say he was happily married!!! LOL OK!!!! I just made a comment about his post that I didn't want posted on the form. I mean really innocent, benign!!!
So, for the most part I keep to myself.
OK, I've rambled, I hope I've explained myself well enough. Let me know.
Any help, suggestions, question ??????
I'd really appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Char
