Any Single Disney Men Out There?

[Disneynut71]

Question was who is looking for their Disney prince or princess? That would be me

When I found this thread and then found Dismates I felt this will be great this is where I will find the one I am meant to be with.

What i'm looking for someone who will love me for who I am, Respect my kids and Love Disney and know we are going at least once a year.

I can't move because my family is near by and they help me with my kids but if the right person came along who knows.

Don't give up hope. When I first met Judy I was 40 and she was 38 and we were both members of the same organization. About five years later we decided that we were becoming more than occasional buddies. She encouraged me when I was studying for my CPA exam. I encouraged her when she was in a six-month long massive computer course run by the Army, and helped her through by dangling a trip to WDW as a carrot (we went the day after she graduated). We got married in late 1988. You can see by my signature how much we both enjoyed Disney.

We had planned so far ahead that although we took the DVC tour the first day it was offerred, we turned it down because we knew that before we reached the break-even point we would be retiring from the government and moving here.

One thing is a lot of mutual friends had told Judy that she would never catch me. But she was determined and they were wrong.

That's the other major issue I face, like simply finding "the one" isn't hard enough by itself. I am anchored to where I am -- I moved here because the school district is so amazing, and because it is where I really wanted to be. It's a fantastic place to raise a child. Plus, I don't know where I would even be at this point without my family -- they are my support system, and I love them so much.

So therein lies the rub... I can't move, but at the same time I'm not sure I could ask someone to uproot *their* life and come here. That's a lot of pressure on a relationship. But meeting someone locally hasn't worked... Good grief, how do people ever meet up??

Boy has this turned out to be a great discussion about settling and the challenges that we all face turning a LDR into a LTR.

Gina-It is possible to get a Disney Prince to relocate. I sold my condo and moved to another market to be with a woman who I thought was the right one. But eventually it didn't work out...we both made the mistake of settling.

I won't settle in my next relationship, but I am open to relocating for the right Disney Princess...well maybe not to a place colder than CT.

when you find the right one, you're life is going to change big time anyway. I don't see it as "uprooting" anyone's life, I see it as taking the next step in your lives.

True, Sandy. And *that* kind of change is a good thing. It's important to be clear in your own mind...and with anyone you seem to have sparks with...what your parameters are. Some of us ( ) could relocate without too much trouble under the right circumstances. That's not an option for others...just be clear from the start.

Also, enjoy what you can share with each new person you meet...even if s/he isn't "the" one. Who knows....maybe their true mission is to introduce you to the person who *is*...or at least help you on that path somehow. (OK, CA will now take off her mystical lenses... ...sorry, guys, I just get that way sometimes.)

Here's a question for everyone. I know we kind of touched on this a bit, but I am wondering about trends I see much more of now.

What are your feelings on age differences. You know older woman and younger man. Older man younger woman.

Just to be clear I am talking consenting adults.

You know Kutcher & Demi Moore; Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones?

I think everyone probably has their own comfort level on that... for me, it's 10 years older and maybe 5 years younger. Anything outside that would be unseemly/asking for trouble -- but that is just for ME. YMMV.

Coool... mystical lenses... But truly, you are exactly right. And if, on the way to finding my Disney prince, I meet a bunch of new and wonderful friends, I am hardly going to complain!

Ya know... Texas is plenty warmer than CT... Hell, it's warmer than, well, hell. But that just means that pretty much every day is a good beach day...

I am new to this thread on the boards, but have been following along for some time. I just became legally single even though I think we split a long time ago in our hearts.

Our fondness of Disney is hard for some to realize nd sometimes even harder to explain. Mine started in 1958 ( okay maybe you can figure out I'm legal age by now!!). I was only 3 but I was amazed that I could see this castle from my frontyard. We moved to Anehiem where Disneyland was and I didn't know what that meant until I saw the fireworks. I thought everyone saw them every night like my family.

I have never not stopped seeing that vision in my head. How lucky for me. My love of Disney grew more when I visited WDW and fell in love. I visit WDW at leat 2-3 times a year. Mostly solo the last few years and always loving it. How can you not love the magic.

Am I wanting to find my Disney Prince?? I don't know, but I love to read all you have to say about it. Having a passion in common would be awesome and always worth pursuing and dreaming about!!

Keep dreaming!!

Well, I am in the right age range...how is the weather for golfing while you are at the beach?

Well... I guess it's great if you're a fan of things like Survivor! You know, as in, "which will come first -- the 18th hole, or a heat stroke..." LOL Just try not to hit your ball into the water hazard -- it spooks the fish.

I'm not looking for a princess...just a wench that I can enjoy the trip through life with Princesses are too high maintenence!

Well, that's an excellent point, actually. I'm not at all sure what guys who say they're looking for their "princess" really mean. The answer probably varies a lot person-to-person I suspect.


I don't know if I qualify as "princess" material. Diehard WDW fan, sure. (Hey, I even come w/my own allotment of DVC points!) But I certainly don't consider myself high-maintenance. ...of course, I don't think I'd classify myself as a "wench" either, MBF. So, what makes a princess? Is it just that a prince loves her?

CG, you are correct that there are probably many different definitions of Prince/Princess. But for me a Disney Princess is a woman that loves Disney, wants to visit there at least once a year, and makes my heart go . A woman who becomes #1 in my life, after my daughter of course.

How she makes my heart is harder to define except to say she does it by sharing many of my values, desires, and dreams while making me feel like her Disney Prince.

DD me thinks you read my mind of a prince/princess image....my prince would be my best friend and love many of the same things I do and adore me lol

 

[katydidbug1]

I think once you hit a certian age it really doesn't matter anymore. If you find someone complements you, shares you values, wants the same things from life you do, and loves you the way you are, what difference does it make if they 5 years younger or 20 years older....as longs as its all legal of course

Thanks DJ...now we know the secret to finding our Prince or Princess.

 

[CoasterAddict]

....my prince would be my best friend and love many of the same things I do and adore me lol

<sigh> You've hit it exactly, DJ... That's what I'm looking for. Love many but not all of the same things, so we can learn new stuff from each other...best friend and adore me...it doesn't get better than that....

...well, unless he's also a DVC owner....

 

[mickeysbestfriend]

I'm not wearing tights and a feathered hat for anyone....now a Mickey or Goofy costume....yeah baby!

I just want a down to earth person and yes, they have to have a passion for Disney. The woman I'm seeing now has not been there with me yet. Time will tell. I've already told her that my collection and my collecting is not a hobby, it's a passion I will not give up. Since my long term goal is to open a Disneyana Museum near Disneyworld....That will take care of all my Disney dreams for a lifetime, I just want to make sure the person who takes the ride with me enjoys it as much as I do!

Bill!

dismem98. Those are some great memories to have.
Your comments made me think some lyrics from Better Than Ezra's - This Time of Year, "...you think about the good times and you live with all the bad...".
The good and bad times are all part of my life story; I just spend more time thinking of the good ones. Makes for a better day.

I guess since it apears I am once again unattached I will stop lurking on this thread. And open a new topic. How does everyone out there go about meeting people. I have met a few very nice people through dismates but none are the one or close enough to try to start dating. After my last relationship even 1.5 hours seems too far for me. I have given up on the online dating after horrible experieinces (eharmony SUCKS!). I work shift work so its hard to go to church regularly. I feel my only option left is the bars and I dread that.

Any thoughts

John
