Love is blind   8/7/2005

When, after years of having what you think is loving, caring, relationship. It suddenly dawns on you that it is all one sided. That all you have done is given and got nothing back in return. Then love really is blind.

Relationship must have a solid foundation   4/30/2005

I am not a silver nor a gold member here.. I just want to share my thoughts... <br> I believe that any relationship must start with sharing. ie communication... One has to learn the value of being honest to open up, at least initially... <br> Friendship nurtured by honesty, sincerity and guidance from the Lord is one of the many ways by which we could really feel ...

Good relationships - a personal definition   4/9/2005

To me, a partner that appreciates relationships are a journey, not a destination is fundamental. <br> As on any journey, experience is enhanced by relection over time. Yet I hear many suggest they defintely want this or absolutely need that in a relationship right now - or else! <br> Having preferences is natural, but reducing a relationship search to a shopping list ...

Nice Guys Finish Last?   3/25/2005

In dating, is it generally true that Nice Guys always finish last?...Is it because Gals want/admire guys who project the excitment and confident arrogance of the "Bad Boy"?....Do some girls have social misconceptions that confuse Lust with Love?

Easier Said.   1/19/2005

There are times when it is harder to 'say' it than to 'do it' whatever the 'its' might be. <br> <br> For example, when I told my lady 'it's over, ' it was a result of care reflection about how much more of myself was I willing to give to one who had no appreciation of love's meaning. <br> <br> It was far more difficult to say than to follow up with action. ...

In Progress   1/9/2005

A relationship in progress is a very nice time; it's new with no 'history' to spat about or, ideally, unrealistic expectations. <br> <br> I have a few phone conversations with a lady I met online. We're the same age and earned our masters at the same school. We are both professionals and would like something more personal than those we must encounter daily. <br> ...

Jazz   1/8/2005

I can think of no better analogy to a personal relationship than jazz. <br> <br> When I put on my musician's cap and sit in on a jazz session it is usually with musicians I'm performed with in the past. There are times - and probably the most fun - when a group get together who've never played before. <br> The common thing said by at least one of is, "There are no ...

But since we are humans and most of us arthink, sometimes that chemistry thing seemse able to to confuse me a lot. Should be rely on that too much? I would like other members' opinion on that. I've been disappointed a few times in my ...

Response to… Why Hurt Someone you Don’t know.   11/13/2004

Firstly, nacsingle, remember that this is the internet (cyberspace, in other words), so expecting to find honorable people here all the time is simply a fantasy! Just a little bit of advice here, when you meet these men, do you feel if they have paid attention to you, that you may be coming on a little too strong…maybe too many hopes…reading into their feelings too quickly? ...

How can a relationship even start when you live so far away from the other?   11/8/2004

I am getting more disappointed because the men who respond to my ad live so many miles away that it would be almost impossible to even start anything up...emailing is fine, talking on the phone is fine, but I want a warm body not some computer keys or phone receiver...anyone else feel that way? What's it take to attract someone who lives within 30 miles or so of home?

When is a deal a deal? A date a date? A commitment a ...   11/8/2004

For some people, their word is their absolute bond. For many others, their word is part of the game, and the only bond that they will honor is a particular document, prepared with a particular ritual, and another statements, verbal or writen, are part of the negotiating process, and therefor non-binding. <br> For "simpletons" raised with high moral standards in a culture that ...

Reply re deadbeats...   10/21/2004

First of all...I don't know if the statistics are right or wrong that are quoted. Personally I don't care. I know that I don't want to be involved with someone who is less than straightforward in meeting this type of obligation. No person should be a deadbeat when it comes to support. If you want to mess around with your ex regarding spousal support that's one thing and is between ...
