Don't ask me.

Within the past year I dated TWO divorced females, each of whom proclaimed to me that they were "Born Again Virgins" (in their 40s and 50s -- one with three grown up kids).

Each proclaiming a fervent desire to get married.

I dunno.

I informed each (gently) as follows

1. Some gifts are of more value to the "Giver" than to the "Gifted"


2. A serious relationship between a man and woman needs compatibility in ALL areas; and sexuality is not the LEAST important of these...


But, I passed both of those opportunities up, and am still (thankfully) unmarried!!
