Howzit folks?
Hope everyone had a good break. I have and will continue to put forth the rambling ideas here that pop into my head, for public consumption or mocking, whatever suites ya
So the latest tangent that I have been mulling over is the idea of age and dating. I have single friends that range from 22 to 50 and the dynamics of their relationships baffles me. I have walked the path from teenager to today, so at least I am less confused by the teens and twenties. But not by much. Actually the more I think about it, I may not have actually learned anything
Anyway, the relationships of youth are founded on the moment and on the fire and desire. The twenties it seems a little more of the mind creeps in, and starts the balancing act that signifies, at least for me, dating in your 20s. After turning thirty a few months ago, it seems I have reverted a bit, I am once again looking for the fire and the moment, damning the consequences, the next day and the week after. I have been thinking that I have been having my mid-life a bit early, but I lack some of the other traditional markers.
Ok this didn't start out to be a vent, so I will try and stick to the subject. So the conversations I have had with my friends that are a bit older revolve around their potential mates intellect, finances, and just about anything but sparks and raw gut KABLOOOOOWEEEEEE!!!!!
Maybe true love is the thing of youth, and we can look forward to finding our intellectual mates, spiritual mates, or the one that balances us, and let the spark and fire develop (Hopefully).
Either way, please feel free to drop me a note and share your thoughts.

Sure, people mature with age. That's a given. They also change with time, and learn to incorporate the changes in the outside world to the one that lies in the bedroom. Yet somehow along the way, people forget what it means to love, and to be loved. People get so caught up in life; bills can choke a person, families get in the way, life happens, and passion is forgotten. But the sparks and interest you speak of has to be maintained. When people forget to treasure the small things in life, like being with someone they love, they lose more than the fire and lust that is a key part of any relationship. They lose a part of themselves, and rarely do they get it back.
It's good that you are asking questions about stuff like this, though. It shows that you don't want to lose that passion that many people let go of as they get older. If you hold onto it long enough, it will come back to you, too.
