I've dated, but not married.

And to be frank. I wont marry, and am less likely to marry a girl in China.

Im not going to stay in China, FACT. And another fact is I dont exactly have a hidden fortune to marry and bring a girl back to England either. Sure, Ill date a girl again (I hope) and I may have one night stands again (I hope not TBH) but marriage is a real no-no.

I had a little money saved in 2009, and I gave it all to my son before I returned to China late 2009 just to make sure I couldnt even entertain the idea of a serious relationship! Marriage is absolutely the last thing I want, and would go against the grain of everything I still want to do in my life!

Im probably the odd one out  ababababab  But at 42 years old I have realised Im not really the marrying kind, Im happier on my own, happier without the responsibility and I feel that if I cant really do serious adult, long term, committed and responsible relationships with girls from a shared culture, shared country, and shared passport...thinking I can do it with a girl I dont share any of the above with is asking for trouble!

Hmmmm, I dont get called wise very often. Everyone thinks Im mad most of the time...and they say 'one day, you'll meet the right one', but they have been saying that for a long time. Fact is, for me, life is easier, freer and a lot less hassle when Im single. I kinda hope it stays that way really.

Nicenight4aw (I'm getting lazy), that was how I felt when I came to this muddled kingdom almost 10 years ago. Dating yes, a meaningful relationship yes if possible, but marriage and family? No way. Not in this life. End of. I'm too old for that nonsense a second time.
The end though is rarely where we expect it, and now I sing a different tune.

It was long ago and far away and so much better than it is today
It never felt so good it never felt so right; we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.

Different strokes for different folks, but my tune is stuck on replay  bfbfbfbfbf

My grown up son is my main priority, and Ill invest time/money and effort into him rather than on a relationship for me. He's the reason I wont stay in China permanantly, and also the reason why I wont take 12 month contracts. I simply wont stay away from the UK for that period of time.

My last job in China ran from Dec 09 - June 10, and prior to leaving for China that time, I gave him about 60% of my life savings and booked a holiday for the both of us for June 2010. That kinda meant that even if Zhang ZiYi had rolled up and offered me a marriage proposal I woulda been outta there!

This time Ill be there to work from October 2011 - June 2012...and Ill be back in the UK again for two years after that.  ananananan

Maybe it was a slight exaggeration to say I would turn down Zhang ZiYi, Ill admit that...but you get my point  bjbjbjbjbj

maybe go for a close non-marital relationship. "Friend with benefits" sort of thing.

You're having a stag party and didn't post an invite here well in advance so that some of us could make it?!?!
