outdoor dating advice

Well I met a great women at an outdoor business (boat show) convention. I am in my mid-20’s and she is older in her 30’s. I feel like we connect very good though after a couple of dates. She is a beautiful woman who has a great taste for style, loves the outdoors, cooks amazing (she actually made elk steaks her father gave her) knows fishing gear, likes to hike, and does not have any kids.  See this is the part that confuses me because most women who don’t have kids and never been married in their mid-30’s are usually a red flag.  Any advice for keeping the relationship going smoothly and on dating a woman that is 10 years older than me?

Forgive and forget dating advice

Friday, April 30th, 2010
Hey CupidFish I need some dating advice, so here’s the story. I met this guy (in the past) online and we dated for a couple month. In the beginning we just talked via IM and then recently he emailed me his number and I called him back. It’s interesting because I called him back after 6 days of receiving the email and he was very defensive for a reason unknown. Anyway, what I liked about him was, he seems to be very competitive. He is a very productive person who loves to do extreme outdoor sports, and wants to be a pro-bassfishing angler.  I don’t know why but it seems like he always has to prove himself…then outwardly (verbally) make it…known that he has everything good going on in his life and how so productive he is bla bla bla. Then when I told him I am interested meeting a companion that does not need to prove anything to me but more so “attraction rather then promotion”.. he got upset and hung up on me. Shall I just forgive and forget and move on or pursue him because deep-down inside he is a good person? – Thanks Jackie

Is 43 too old to date?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
Due to being  43 years it’s hard to find a women and it’s  tough to find because for me I really don’t know what to do after being married for 20 years and now divorced. I’ve joined here because I like outdoor activities and looking for a kind caring women healthy enough for outdoor activities. All I’ve been finding in the real world are women with hang-ups with kids in their 20’s and they have a “save me” type attitude… NONE have wanted to go outdoors or activity get involved and just want to sit home as if they’re afraid to leave their home for a minute. I went out on a date with a women just last week and 1/2 way through the date she looked nervous. I asked her what the problem was (thinking it was me) and if you wanted me to drive her home. Her answer was she was worried her older son would break in the house and steal things because she was not home… Now thats a sign to move on and try and find a different women.

My new man is now an overeater

Monday, March 29th, 2010
My new man is now an over-eater! I know how much he wants to overcome this, but he can’t seem to stop his late-night binge eating. It’s been 4 months now and I see my boyfriend put on 35 lbs! I  know how hard it was for hm to finally stop smoking after 30 years, but this is ridiculous. We have grown  so close and developing a true healthy love, but he is keeping something locked up. Before he was very outdoor sports active and loved to fish, hunt, ATV, or go to the range. In result, he does not want to go anywhere, do anything except stay home and eat (he is a great cook) and watch tv. Going on dates now is hard for us b/c he gets so stressed out in public. I have tried various forms of helping him; everything from tough love to blind support of his choices to setting a good example to asking him to pray with our preacher. I know what a fight this is for him…What is my role in helping him be who he wants to be? I am truly in love with him…but how can I not get frustrated at the life I have had to quit living (dates, nights out, outdoor activities, etc) and yes, I have tried going out all on my own. It just makes him feel worse.
Thanks- B in AZ.

Dating site success story?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Hello all I am an avid fisherman and found CupidFish.com from Google and I also have been on plenty of fish dating site for months  now, and haven’t managed to meet any women yet. They add me on there msn, give me there number, but avoid wanting to go for coffee. Although I  have never tried calling them directly however, only text. So what am I doing wrong? Also, I have great pictures on the site and have tried directly asking them on a date or should I call the number they give me or just text? Anyway, I hope to meet more ladies that enjoy the outdoors more here.

Is this realistic a dating scenario

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Hey CupidFish ! Is this a realistic a dating scenario? I have two friends male and female that were college roommates and still great friends to this day and live together. Both are very active in outdoor sports that they do together (camping, Fly fishing, hiking etc). Both have an active dating life, but share a house and have separate rooms and lounge around in their underwear? I’ve visited my friend and seen the young women  laying on the living room floor in a tshirt and panties watching tv or playing xbox.  After work they’ll cook dinner together and hangout and they are fine with it and both even share their dating experiences with each other.. They are truly best friends, and can’t understand how this works? Something must be going on..?

Original cheap outdoor date?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010
Apparently, once you’ve been dating a person a few months things get a bit mundane and you run out of ideas when it comes to date plans. I would like to take her out on a fun outdoor date because Spring will be here soon, but don’t want to spend a lot of money. So if you could give me some ideas, could be the simplest thing as long as its in the $20 dollar range. As mentioned,  I am leaning towards outdoor activities.
Thanks much-Justin, in Florida

Is it time to get a divorce?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010
Hello Cupidfish I thought I’d join and tell my story becaue I thought it would fit on this blog. I am a newlywed as of three months ago. My husband and I dated each other for six years before getting married. However on our honeymoon the first night after the wedding we stayed in separate rooms, and the next night he went back to his house to take care of his mother. In short, we had no honeymoon what so ever and this really hurt. He said that once he gives an answer I need to accept it because now I am his wife? This is what my marriage life is like, we live separately because he lives with his mom and needs to take care of her her states that I shall not get in the way of his family, we meet every weekends for lunch and dinner on Saturday or  Sunday and he does not want me to call him because he claims he is busy earning money to support us and his mother/family. I am referred to as just his friend to his family they don’t know that after six years we are married finally. I am not invited to his family gatherings, and church gatherings. We don’t even display that we are married, in public no holding hands, nothing.

I for some reason think he is ashamed of me and when I was younger I was a  model and did local commercials, fashion shows, and many beauty pageants. I am better then average looking at 5′6” 120lbs, and very physically active at the gyms, and outdoor activity.

We did talk about this throughout our years of dating. He always complained that i did not know the meaning of marriage and that he does. I was forced to believe him. I trusted him that our lives would be different after marriage. He promised that marriage life would be really different from boy friend and girl friend. Guess he lied. Can’t believe i actually thought he was being truthful and  he always told the truth to me.  It could be his mother. She once sent me an email about how my “hubby” was not spending enough time with her, she wanted the only two days i have with him.When dating we spent the weekends together hiking, swimming, movies, and other activities. We lived apart as normal boyfriend girlfriend do. But i always thought that when we married things would change, just as he said they would. What happened now i spend almost 5 dinners a week either alone at a restaurant or at home, or if i am lucky I vist a girlfriend and help her out with her kids, as her husband is in the military.

I think it’s time to get a divorce. Don’t tell me that i should have thought about life before getting married and yes i did, thats why we dated for 6 years and were friends for 3 years before we dated. Is a divorce the right thing to do? what would you do in this situation?

Why have  I waited this long? I thought it was wedding jitters, something that he would get over with. Yes i do call but whats the point, he always says he loves me asks how is my day going so far, and if I know where i want to eat when we meet, or if i am still meeting with him on the weekend.

Thanks for letting me vent,

Beth
