When I returned to the 'dating world' (after divorcing) at about age 48, I was new to dating and didn't detect some of the 'red flags' back then.
I dated a 55 yr. old man for few months...my suspicion was up yet I (at first) tried to ignore my suspicious feelings.
After few months of dating I discovered through my inquiring the following . . .
He was married and still lived with his wife.
First (and last) name he gave me was not his real name.
When I began to get suspicious I asked him if he was married...he told me three different times " no ".
When I began asking why we didn't see each other on weekends he always had an excuse.
One excuse he had for being too 'busy' to see me at times was that he was helping his elder mom at her house. He later said he 'was busy' as his elder mom was ill in the hospital and he said he was calling me from her hospital bedside...worrying about her...holding her hand.
When I discovered he was in fact married...I also discovered that his mom had died back in the 1970's.
More 'stuff' was discovered about him...but for the purpose of your question...that's all I'll share.
That experience with him was back in 2004...That was then...this is now. I'm wisier, more aware, not imbittered, still adore, value and cherish men...just more aware of certain 'lines' some try to float my way.

With the right amount of faith and in God's Will you can command things to happen and they will. Gods will is for your good and His Glory, God will go to great lengths to save a marrage. My wife and I had financial problems at once. We were living at her mothers in FL and I could not find a job. Her parrents didn't want me there. They just wanted her to live there and take care of them. They asked me to leave and I had $150 and a house in WV plus a job there. I hated to but I had to leave my wife behind with our son and all of our belongings. On a Greyhound bus trip to WV wich took 30 hours I prayed the entire time asking God for the provissions to reunite my wife and I very, very soon. In The Name of Jesus
I commanded $500 to come to me. Within 24 hours of getting off the bus I had $500 in hand, wired it to her and we were back together the day after.

You can run a Diesel burning engine on regular filtered cooking oil. It gets the same mileage as Diesel fuel and the exhaust smells like french fries.
