    Different values: When is it worth the effort?

    Good points all around. Not sure I see that stuff as gender equality per se. I'm not a super genius, but dating a woman who is a lot lower in the intelligence department doesn't excite me - I lose interest pretty quick. Had a strange conversation with the girlfriend late last week. Her sister...

    Different values: When is it worth the effort?

    Very true PairPlusRoyalFlush, morality is independent of religion. Most religions do provide a moral framework and guidance for people, but you can absolutely be a moral person without religion. The classic schools of philosophy provide moral frameworks and aren't religious. Good point...

    Different values: When is it worth the effort?

    Good point sodbuster, I hadn't thought about that aspect. I'll pay more attention to how they treat their dad, he's the only man in the family and has four daughters. I hear what you're saying Desdinova, but let me clarify. I'm pretty disaffected with the church, haven't been in years. It's...

    Too little too late?

    I told her there was a period of time I wasn't dating due to too much going on, but now I'm back and am interested. I think I better understand now, basically I was her backup dude?

    Too little too late?

    Alright, much of this is new to me, so here goes: I work in a technical field and met this woman through a work function (same company, different locations). We hit it off pretty well, high interest level on her part. I was super busy at the time with work, school, and a home renovation, and...
