oh wow.. nobody posted yet.
I know what you mean, LeoLady.
One thing I can advise you is that you never change what you believe in NOW. What I mean is that marriage is still valid for those who truly believe in each other. Unfortunately, the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, doesn't come along that often. Sometimes it takes more than 10 years. Then chances are that it might be one-sided (I never believed there was one-sided love until I experienced it myself).
So there is this is new theory... *for each time slice, there is a partner*... not sure how that works but it makes sense to me. Because we change in time, also our needs and expectations change and THAT is the time you start learning something new about yourself. Your priorities have changed... and your selection criteria changes at the same time..
I suggest, don't panic... the love of your life will find you again eventually 😄 just don't risk any silly relations that are not worth your time if you feel there is something odd about it and if you feel too needy. The trick is finding the one who equally responds. If you start having doubts and questions, HE is NOT the one...
If you feel all is smooth sailing..
then all will be MAGIC again...

Well Leo Lady ......you are talking to a divorced lady here and I am your age .....yeah!!!! 🙂 I have been divorced for 8 years now.
I will not lie ......in my personal opinion, I think as we get older and we have had a few long term relationships, and we can become a little jaded on the subject of love ....it changes our perception of committed relationships......and our views of ourselves. It really does change us. I sometimes miss being in my twenties and younger it seemed so much easier to fall in love. In my opinion when we are in our twenties we jump into love with both feet, eager, hopeful, and excited. When we get into our thirties we have had a few relationships and probably even had our heart broken a few times, we begin to see relationships more cautiously, and we keep our hearts a little closer to ourselves. No matter who you are, when you have a relationship that devistates you, and even when you get over it .....it still changes you. I sometimes like dating younger men for this exact reason ......I think men are way worse than women. If I meet a guy who is older and has never been married ......that is a huge red flag for me to enter with caution....he has jaded written all over him. lol With younger men it is usually more carefree. I do prefer men my age or older though. It seems they can relate to life experiences ....you know growing up with similar interest.
As for your question to the original post .....I am okay if I don't ever get married again. Marriage to me does not solidify your love for a person. Would I like to have a committed love relationship and cohabitation .....of course I would, who wouldn't? Marriage for me ......would have to be a HUGE step before I take that leap again. I mean I better have one of those relationships that make you sick ....you know where the guy is kissing the feet the ground you walk on. lol
Honestly I think marriage is over rated. HA ....maybe that is the jadedness in me talking. lol
Good luck!!
PD

Oh and VH... being a Leo I can actually relate to the picky-ness of partner choices... I too am extremely picky in who I consider sharing my life with. Not saying other signs are less so on an idividual basis.... I just find that certain signs are probably more so than others, whether it be based on such as vanity, degrees of success, power, financial opportunity etc....

Oh I didn't take it as such, L.
I just wanted to hear your words on the matter.
Has your virg shown you any of his nit-picky portions yet?

Yep! I know this all too well. I think I mentioned it on that "Most monogamous" thread that Leo-Lady's are VERY particular of who they share their den with.click to expand

I agree with Tasha, I wouldn't mind being a wife or whatever. But I have to be one when I am ready. And I'm not sure when that will be. I think marriage is a very serious commitment that shouldn't be taken lightly. Love is definitely NOT all thats required to marry somewhere. Anyway who uses just love as a basis for marrying someone should not walk down the aisle at anytime.
Love is not all that should be involved when you are talking about marriage -- there are other matters to concern. Its nice to have that whole fantasy wedding in your mind and all that 'I will marry the love of my life' stuff. However, its not realistic and most of the time, this way of thinking is why marriages do not work.

Oh yes..... I probably havent mentioned this before, but he originally approached me about 7 months ago with the intention of getting to know me better, however I was already talking to Mr. Pisces so I kinda blew him off. The reason I tell you this is because, he has told me from DAY 1 how extremely picky he is when chosing a mate and basically sought me out as I apparantly "fit all his criteria" in a perfect mate. Well, we will see about that.... he doesnt know me well enough yet to make that determination. I keep telling him he may change his mind after he gets to know me a little better! LOL!! But yes.... he is certainly a bit nit picky & I am in no way blind to it! Im pretty easy going though, so nit picky isnt as bad as some other traits Ive experienced in some men! LOL!

OMG!!!! That would be about the best advice anyone could give him!!! HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW THAT!!!! Am I that transparent?
But, all kidding aside.... Prior to Mr. Pisces... I have only said the L word to two other men in my life outside of family members. My first love (high school sweetheart) and my ex-husband. Looking back now.... I shouldnt have said it so quickly to Mr. Pisces... but.... I did open up to him completely and put myself out there for the first time in 16 years and it just didnt work... no regrets really... but I dont see that word coming from my lips again anytime soon!click to expand

I know... I just cant help myself!!! Muscles, tattoos & a bad ass attitude leaves me weak at the knees. But, I do find most of them to be actual softies on the inside..... so I really like that!!! A bad boy with a kind heart... *SIGH*
