Author	Thread: Would you?
Admin	Would you? Posted : 18 Mar, 2011 05:03 AM This question is for those who are divorced or widowed. Would you be willing to date a guy who is in his 40s, has no clue about starting a relationship, never has been in a relationship, never had a girlfriend. Would you seriously consider him, or would you prefer to look for someone who has some experience and knows what he is doing? I would like to know if YOU would be willing, please don�t tell me that you are sure that SOMEBODY would be willing. It�s always easy to be generous with someone else�s thoughts. As a side note, don�t worry about saying that you are willing, I�m not going to chase after you. Post Reply

I think you might get more conversation going if you were to ask if no previous dating experience would be enough of a hinderance to keep a woman from dating a guy she likes. The problem with the way you worded the question is that women aren't going to be able to say whether they would date a guy "like that" because it's such a narrow example and much more goes into the decision to date. I'd like to think though that if you set the example as a Godly leader, that a woman wouldn't discount you for not having found a woman that you clicked with yet. Post Reply
bcpianogal View Profile History	Would you? Posted : 19 Mar, 2011 07:09 AM I didn't answer because I'm not divorced or widowed. But if you lowered the age a bit (someone in his early 30s), and opened it up to never-married girls, then yes I would date someone who has little or no dating experience. Of course, there would be a lot of other things that would go into the decision to date him, but just the lack of dating experience wouldn't be a hindrance. Post Reply
View Profile History	Would you? Posted : 19 Mar, 2011 10:15 AM I know that someone who is in a similar position to me in life would be willing to go out with me. My problem is that most of the women near my age are either divorced or widowed with children. I keep being told that there plenty of women out there for me, especially since many women my age are divorced. Most people want to marry someone who is in a similar position in life as they are. My point is that while there are many unmarried women my age, it doesn�t necessarily mean that they would be willing to give me a chance. Bcpianogal, if I was younger I would love to give you a chance as well. But, there is nothing I can do to change that. Post Reply
Elisa View Profile History	Would you? Posted : 19 Mar, 2011 10:24 AM To put a slightly different focus on your question....or possibly a different perspective (anyoldwho, moving right along). Some friends and I have never been married, meaning no divorce, no being widowed, no kids. Most men in our age group have been married or fathered a child. Does this mean something in particular for those of us in this situation? Is there a difference on whether it is a male or female that has not married? If so, what and why? If not, why not? Anyway, food for thought. Post Reply

But, if he is clueless, wouldn�t she quickly get tired of him not �getting it�? I would think that it would be different for a woman who is not very experienced, since she could just let the man lead, which is normal anyways. Post Reply
