[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1812995, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=448992]@sophc[/USER], Looking at your recent experience in a different light, [B]your circumstances are a way to 'weed out' those who are insincere and lack courage.[/B] And so much on TV these days and internet can be so misleading. I have been on insulin for 51 years here in Oz, and good public education about diabetes is still lacking. One thought is to[B][I] seek those who work in the healthcare industry and similar fields as they will have had more likelihood of coming across diabetics and knowing something of the condition. And with luck someone may have a diabetic in the family and so have a better background for understanding diabetes.e[/I][/B] And having a hypo is one of those complications on a date which is unfortunate but sometimes happens. The meal is delayed, you talk longer than expected etc. [B]In the past I have ordered an orange juice as a drink to help tide things over til the meal arrives.[/B] Yes, pumps are great. I shifted over to an Animas pump at the 45 year mark on insulin and then wished I had made the move across years before !! Having said the above [B]what any guy worth his salt needs to be doing is regarding you as a human being. [/B]Each of us has something unique about ourselves and that is part of what attracts us to others and visa versa. [B][I]Being upfront and honest,[/I][/B] as you have been , [B][I]is an admirable quality [/I][/B]and hopefully will encourage him to do likewise.. I find that as a guy (now married and awaiting grandchildren !!) that [B][I]people with approximately similar senses of humour may get on well together[/I][/B] (In 'Sex in the City', Carrie talks about staying with the man who makes you laugh). Of course there is more to it than that. [B][I]Having interests which coincide or which vary but have some common threads [/I][/B]are also a plus. But an interest in drinking lots of alcohol, being a yobo (Oz term for a pratt) at the footie etc might not be to your taste or conducive to your good health!! [B]Try to be patient and be selective and careful.[/B] Somewhere out there is a Mr Right ( politics, or correctness freak aside !!). And continue to love yourself, use self humour to tide you over any disappointment and show yourself and the world how wonderful you are !! [/QUOTE]
