Dating: Ever been oddly attracted?
I was reading an article about some New York bachelors who admitted that their swanky apartments helped them score with the ladies. Of course I found this outrageous and ridiculous but soon realized that some people are attracted to people for odd reasons.
I once was so enamored with a guy simply because he had the most amazing shoes. Seriously, I actually looked forward to our dates because I wanted to see what shoes he would wear. Strange, I know!
Do you recall being oddly attracted to someone? Maybe it caught you off guard, or surprised you. Perhaps you didn’t know you were into chicks who wore glasses or maybe you discovered that men who are professors are sexy.
What is the strangest thing that attracted you to someone or vice versa?

“See there, I just hand it to you on a silver platter and you STILL try to take it *smh*”
Slim — In keeping with the sage example of Pepe Le Pew, sometimes you just gotta take the puddy…

That’s the way a lot of women are. They go like rabbits when you date them, go like NUNS after you marry them. The most exciting thing to these women is a man that’s NOT her hubby. When I was young, married women were just the BOMB in the sack….as long as you weren’t their husband.

Swiss – Pepe was a dayum stalker. It’s funny how when you’re young, you don’t think too much into cartoons and the old kids’ shows. However, when you get older and look back on those same cartoons you view them in a whole different light.

I still care very much for her and she does me. It’s just that we have grown so far apart and everything each other did got on each other’s nerves. We had some great times, but it’s just time to cut the tie that binds. I’ll be moving into an apartment right down the street from her at the end of the month.

That’s commendable that the two of you recognize this and are amicable toward resolving it. I admire those that can remain friends and not become bitter. My neighbors marvel over me and my ex’s relationship. I was asked the other day if we are always this cordial or do we go up and down. I said, “always cordial!” How I feel about him in my mind has no bearing on the fact that he’s my child’s father. Good for you, MCH!

No kids from this marriage. I have two from a previous one and she has three from a previous one.

How do the respective children figure into this? Will you attempt to continue to have each other a part of your children’s lives? Or will you just gradually transition out of their day to day existence?

It is weird, MCH. Remembering the plight you came on here with wanting sex, wanting to be loved and touched and she didn’t. Now she can’t get enough of you. You’re right, you could have worse problems.

s/n – For all of you that like the little eclectic, see and be seen type spots, Do Restaurant is pretty cool. It is an all Ipad restaurant and is decorated in nearly all black and white. (M and I are wondering how long those white leather couches are going to stay nice looking.)
But regardless, it is a neat experience.

MC Hammock – I didn’t realize you was married before. Take a breather and enjoy this time. I wish you the best and hope all works out for you. Maybe she’ll be willing to revert back to the freaky sneaky you so fondly reminisce about.

“TheDude and I had our first pre-marital counseling session last week.”
SexyCool — Are either of you Catholic? Mrs. Swiss & I had to do that crap, too (which, as you can imagine, was a barrel of laughs for me). I always found it a little odd to be getting marital advice from a priest. I’m marrying a woman, not molesting a young boy — seems out of his area of expertise, IMO…

Nope. Not Catholic. Just something that both of us agreed was a good idea to do. Our counselor is a youth pastor that has been married for 18 years.

Come on now, swiss! Not all Priests are molesters. Father John was a wonderful priest growing up and, although I can’t tell for sure, I don’t think he was a boy basher ruining another person’s life. Even visiting with him decades later, I still believe he’s one of the good ones!!!

SexyC Yeah I don’t think so. Maybe that’s what you’re subtly getting at. Call me a cynic, but I’ve seen and been in situations where the decision to part ways was “mutual”…initially. Give some time to sink in, and all hell breaks loose. Got you there with the Scooby Doo look on your face ’cause you thought everything was all good. Not saying this absolutely will happen MC Hammock, but don’t be surprised.

Leggs You’re right, but Swiss’ point still holds. A priest vows never to marry or have sex, so he’s giving advice with no practical experience. There’s always the exception of those priests who were married before they became priests, but they’re all divorced by default. lol

@DreamsM ~ of course his point holds. It’s been blasted across the news for years! However, the stance of his remark seems to rests on all priests…that’s the way I took it.

And then that moving "right down the street" is going to work up until someone has a car parked outside overnight.
And quite frankly, I would not be interested in sexing someone who is only turned on by me after they are getting ready to throw me away.
But again, MCH, all the best, dude.

@cba ~ you’re right. As twisted as it seems, she may even be turned on by the fact that he stood up and became the “man” she was hoping for and refused to live the way they were living (a loveless married couple). Perhaps it put some sparkle ‘tween her loins! It’s warped, but it happens.

And more than just the overnight car, the real emotions surrounding the change in lifestyle will become evident once it is clear that one party is moving on with their lives (as Legg’s indicated.)
The first time he can’t go over for that magic meatloaf she always makes on Wednesdays or the first time she can’t get him on the phone to come see what’s wrong with her pipes. (Pun/no pun….lol)
This is new. Emotions haven’t even began to run their full course.

@SexyC ~ I remember my ex admitting he did a drive-by the first month of our divorce. I was furious and surprised. So, no matter what they say, emotions are a bytch and will have you doing some funny crap (if you still care).

Her wanting me to tap in occassionally is just like getting extra sprinkles on yout ice cream. Besides, there will come a day when neither one of us will be interested in doing that any more. I’ll still offer to help out with the occassional chore around the house, because I did all of the yard work and repairs while we were married.

Leggs, I like the area a lot and the apartment is about 10 miles away and right on top of 85. I lived there after my first divorce and the place is really nice for the price.
