I should mention that I put the ad in the personals when I was getting a divorce. I had left an abuser who was stalking -- and had no money. For a while I lived in the car and then found a cheap apt. I was supporting a son in college. Money was so tight that I had to figure how to eat. So I came up with the "brilliant idea" -- date and go out to dinner -- I was terrified of men so it was always 2 cars -- no home address, and the first thing out of my mouth was "I don't go to bed" and no one person sooner than 2 weeks. I dated 3 times a week so I had enough to eat. And kept my son in school.
3 years later, I married one of the men and had a good marriage until he died after 13 years.
