You know...I really hate doing this, as it seems so forced and such. First off, Phillipa, thank you very kindly for your post up above about my "dating habits". Some posters on here (with every right) go on about many things, and that is OK! For the past 6-7 years, I've tried so hard to support where I could. But, one of my biggest handicaps is dating, and in fact is one of the things that sent me spiralling into depression. I had a "one night stand" with a women who I thought there could be some kind of relationship. But this is just as much a traumatic issue as what anybody else posts on here. Yet...I can see the eyes rolling.."Oh...there goes Jay, again.."
There is also some interesting research out there about a possible co-relation between serotonin and true feelings of "love". (And no...I am not pushing SSRI's here..that is a totally different topic.) What I will say, is with SSRI's, the sex comes (pardon the pun..lol.) a little harder (more pun..da!), but I've noticed a real need for TLC from my gal (well..no I don't HAVE one..lol.) This also seems most true with medium doses of Zyprexa and high dose of Prozac, a pinch of Zoloft and 100mg Nortriptyline. On top, it is also interesting that during the day, I often take pseudophed (sp?) which is a stimulant, and it mucks around with some brain chemicals, and can make for really good days.
So...join in...lets here your good and bad date stories/habits/etc. I'm all ears (and eyes!:)

Best date was meeting an older man who I was married to for a few years traveled Europe many times as he was European an older. Well I met him and our first date we went gliding in a plane. Then went out to dinner. Next day went out to dinner with his boss and wife in a Ritzy restaurant. As he had an expense account for things like this. He is and I hope still a wonderful man. I know his Mother is no longer with us as she was 93 last time I was in Switzerland at her house. I just hope he's doing well. Greg and I tried to find him but couldn't . We thought he was back in Virginia but last I knew he was in Belgium. If your're reading not likely too I miss you Robin and wish Greg could meet you and my kids miss you too. Love Phillipa

You need touch, Jay. Worry about the women another day--go get a massage. The real kind Jay..you're minds wondering.
Find a good massage therapist and see her once a month if you can swing it $$wise.I'm in the same boat--but I like the boat.
Cheers bro...

Thanks very much my friend. We crave the flesh, and man am I hungry! I used to go down and see the "Ballet Dancers"...you know THOSE kind...and have a special 1to1 "session"...but a massage sounds SO much nicer. I need a woman to awaken and take the knots out of my depressed muscles and flesh, from top to bottom...even just on my lower back. (OK...too much information here..sorry..lol :-) Thanks again for the advice Phil...and treat yourself to one too!
Best,
Jay

That is really sweet Phllipa, and I know that memories, especially when you are depressed, can hurt very hard. Please take care of yourself...extra special. :)

I really need to do that. I've have a few extra $$
that I could do it now. Every time I get a massage I tell myself...once a month--I should do this once a month! : )

You know I used to get one once a week and it was wonderful. I can't afford that now. But once a month is feasable. Did you ever try the hot rocks on your back ones or seaweed wraps? My Daughter swears by them. I haven't. Love Phillipa

hey, i think dating is a major issue. "lack of" dating in my life. somatic deprivation (not being touched) is not normal or healthy.
