Do yo prefer to date current military, veterans or civilians?

Great question, I tried out all constellations in the past and came to the conclusion that it all depends on the connection between each other, impossible to generalize, go with your heart!

for me it would have to be some one who is a veteran or prior service. Because of my disabilities it makes it harder for someone to understand. I fell in love with someone over 10 yrs ago who had MS he had ups and down days. But since he was an alcoholic and I am not into drinking like that I got tired of picking him up and doing for him all the time, but when I would need a time out I thought he would understand better. He didn't and when it came time to also help take care of his alcoholic mom I could not do it and deal with my own stuff and fell apart. When I told him I was leaving he had a hard time. But after a yr being gone he quit drinking and called me one day and told me how sorry he was for treating me that way. We talk off and on as friends but will never go back to where it was before. So I would say that I am looking for someone who can understand and I can understand them better. But I look for someone with these thoughts on both sides me for him and him for me. Not sure if a military person can do this tho. I have been alone and have troubles with going on one or two dates and a guy tries to get out of line without knowing me and my life. Or trying to date a civilian and he sees that I need to get out of the crowds and get somewhere or I want my back to the wall in a restaurant. Or I have my service dog it makes it hard to date a civilian. I'm still a lady and like to be treated as such. Must have connections to move forward.

Just stay away from anything that even mentions Nigeria.

I think as long as you get along with the person and have that connection, you can make it work. No matter whether they are military or not. I understand the common ground you would have with a fellow soldier, but you also don't want someone too similar to you. You do want someone who understands and supports you, but that doesn't mean they have to be military. My wife is a civilian while I am a soldier. She respects and understands this. She supports me. We are married because we are in love and we prayed about it and knew we had found the right person in each other. We motivate each other to be better, strive for more, and to never get up. To me that is what you should look for. Someone who completes you, compliments you. Makes you a better person. Not if they are in the service or not.

None of the above. I generally like women in power whether civilian or military. Not going to elaborate on that one though.

On a lighter side.....all women (military to civilian) LOVE military men....

A wise Captain told a young candidate Porter: "there are lots of folks out there in the world, look outside the military for your companionship."

He was right. Not only did it avoid administrative issues, my wife and her outlook on the world and life brought much needed yin to my excessive yang. She has grown me into a better man and my daughter and she continue that work.

Why not get the worst of both worlds and date a National Guard Soldier?

Love me for who I am...Love do not look at age, race, color, religion, military or civilian preference love is spontaneous event...to look at each other in the eye and said I will love you for who you are and will take care of you for the rest of each other lives...that is what each individual preference should be...be conservative and respect your love one is what it takes when it comes to this dating pool...I respect all to choose to whatever is the right person...however follow your heart...

I haven't had any long-lasting success with any of the three choices...
