you are lucky Paula for having found the right person. Others are not so lucky ; ( I'm having a nightmare online dating atm, its really disheartening, depressing, and I can't bear it anymore. I've wasted my whole life on non-starter men, and now I am more emotionally ready (I think) , men don't want to know women over 40, or don't want to know me! I'm so fed up of being the one without a family to share and do things with. it's too depressing. Selena you are much younger than me, it will be much easier for you - don't waste anymore time. Weight isn't the issue either, like Paula said. It's about how you feel and how ready you feel for intimacy, a relationship etc.
