The person you have been dating on and off for 6 months introduces you to their kids and their parents and meets your kids and ex, all in the same week, would it be safe to feel confident this relationship is moving on to the next level?

How did you know you could trust your b/f or g/f?

How do you let your guard down?

A 36 y/o man is dating two women, he met around the same time. One is 36, and one is 20. He and the 36 y/o are both divorced, have kids the same age, were married the same amount of time and know some of the same people.

He says the 20 y/o cant handle his sex drive and should find someone just for that.

The 36 y/o has no problem keeping up and since they would only go out once or twice every couple of weeks, decided to think about it all before reacting. ( she still has not said anything other than mentioning once casually that she wanted to be the only woman he dated)

In the last two weeks he and the 36 y/o have been out 9 times, and met each others familys.

Did she do the right thing? Is he over the 20 y/o?

Having been in a relationship for the last 14 years and I was faithful, he was not, I am clueless about men (again) I am shy with men unless I am in my work environment, where I am very confident... how do I go about meeting someone when I am so shy sometimes, I can not look them in the eye.

I can not even imagine the bar scene, so that is not an option. I am only 38, I am too young to give up hope here :)

Which would you prefer? A woman who is very feminine, hair, nails, makeup, accessories always put together and wants your full attention leaving little time for your friends. Or a woman who is not so girlie, looks good, just not always picture perfect but shares your interests, would rather play poker with you and the guys, or go with you to the bar to watch the game, than be the hostess....

We have known each other for over three years, but work at different locations in different states. We have become great friends and it seems there could be more. We plan on meeting in a couple of months, do the same rules apply here? How long do you wait before sex? We will just be seeing each other physically for the first time. We talk every day and have for years.
