My wife works with a woman (37) who still lives with her parents. She recently went on a few really good dates with a guy. Then, last weekend, he pulled up to her house, parked by the curb, and texted her "I'm here".

She broke up with him on the spot.

Now, granted, he was wrong. Not a class move (at least he didn't beep the horn!) but I think she was just waiting -- waiting! -- for the guy to make some kind of error. Then WHAM! You're not perfect! I deserve better! I'll just keep living with my parents until some millionaire prince waltzes into my life.

I don't know how anyone gets married these days. And by the numbers, not many people are.

Sounds like a lucky escape for him.

Hmmn… I recently went to a couple weddings. Gals and guys in their late 50s. And they're very happy, things are working out great a couple months later. Young people in their 20s and 30s are too into themselves, looking for a prince or princess to whisk them away from reality, rather than just accepting people for what they are, warts and all.

Funny story, but exactly that situation is what finally caused my parents to get married. Dad showed up casually, turned on the TV in Mom's apartment, slouched down on the sofa, and said "So what's for dinner?" She broke up with him on the spot. He came back a week later with an apology, a vastly increased amount of respect, and a ring.

now the right way is to pull up, text “he sexy, look out your front window” and be casually leaning on your fender with some flowers and a smile.

i honestly don’t know why people get married these days. and i,m not talking about playing the field. playing the field gets you dead people are just so shallow and users of others. so ready to come down on someone for slight offenses. love is growing cold.

I have an acquaintance who is also 37— and bat crazy. She’s probably slept with enough men to fill Fed Ex Field past capacity and doesn’t have a college degree.

Yet she thinks she deserves somebody that makes at least $150k per year and has at Least a Masters. I’ve never ever heard of her dating a guy for more than 3 dates.

She’s exactly what most men have to choose from nowadays.
