Why wouldn't you want to be friends with someone that worries about your safety?

Hello and I apologize for the confusion. As an avid runner all my life, I have maintained myself and my late husband and working all my life has permitted me to live my life comfortably. Some guys now see me as an "easy" target for supporting them and for a quickie. I'm looking for companionship with a nice, secure man.

3 cheers lady for coming on here as another way of meeting people and 3 jeers for some of the childish answers especially the one about the bus and ridiculing the woman who wants to be friends first , is what I would expect from high school kids. Although it’s not a surprise , I have good social life her and many of the woman I have dated here seem to have many sad tales here of men who went from high school to marriage and then single and back to the same high school socials skills when it came to woman . Grow Up

LOL, you mean she should have pulled out her pearl handled hand gun from her purse and reply, “Why yes, I have protection.”? When he asked her if she brought protection.

All the good guys apparently have been taken.

might he have been asking if you have a concealed carry permit ?

Might have been asking what type of sealant she uses on her grout, but somehow I doubt it:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

My suggestion, (coming from a happily married man): Don't be in a hurry, and don't be in "search" mode. Engage yourself in the activities you enjoy, and build your social circles around those activities. Sooner, rather than later, you will start meeting people with similar interests. Some will be girl friends, some will be guy friends. Some of your guy friends will be just that, "friends". Some will be guy friends who want to be more than just "friends", and you may or may not want to be more than just friends.

You say two things that seem to me contradictory. One, you say you just want companionship, but in another post you say you want "that special one"... I suggest you start with companionship, and let the second phase find itself. No doubt, along the way you'll find guys who want to move faster than you want to move, if you want to move at all.

In the words of Paul McCartney, "Let it be, let it be, there will be an answer, let it be."
Enjoy the journey. Peace.

It causes me to chuckle now and then as I observe dating happenings in real life among singles I know.

"There are plenty of fish in the sea." is an old saying my mother used when I was young and dating. Same concept.
Nope. You know darned good and well that it is not the same concept. AND your mother would agree with me.
