You asked about experiences with dating, as a never married woman, I can say that the last few years have been a trip! I should write a book (as my friends and I say) I am noticing the decline in men that accept responsiblity for their actions.... i.e. having children and not even aware of where the children live, what the child is doing....or being married and dating...imagine that! I have had men want me to "support" them i.e. make their car payments since they bought themselves stereo equipment..holding down jobs....keeping good paying jobs....or ones that believe that dating is 50/50 when it comes to the check. Mind you I have no problem picking up a tab, but every date is 50/50. (mind you this is in the beginning a relationship) If you ask you pay, that is my belief. Heck some cant even plurge to buy someone a coke on the first date! Or what happen to old fashioned chivlary? And I notice woman are doing the same......Sad really to me. I am a good woman that has yet to find a good man....hence single by choice!
