What is a Player - part 1
A player in dating is usually a person who uses their charm to emotionally manipulate others into falling in love with them. When their victim happens to fall in love, the fun ends for them: they drop the relationship and head to their next target.
For players, love is merely a game. And the way to win the game is to enter as many lives as possible and leave a string of broken hearts behind.
Will a player ever fall in love? While they may not necessarily fall in love with anyone, it is always best to live with the assumed answer that is no. Remember that for players, being in a relationship is akin to playing a game. While there is a chance they might fall in love, their interest does not lie in building a connection.

8 Signs You’re Dating a Player
It’s a rather common mistake to overgeneralize things. Indeed, players have certain attributes that cannot and should not be ignored. However, it’s important to search for the strong signs rather than blame all the people on a dating site for playing.
Take a look at these characteristics and judge people around you objectively.
1. They Come On Strong
One of the biggest attributes of a player is that they come on very strong. In other words, they’ll tell you lots and lots of sweet things, tell you outright lies, and play mind games. If you see this, don’t rush into believing they really mean everything they say.
Players come on strong because they need to charm you as quickly and efficiently as possible to have a successful booty call. It’s a severe problem if they don’t worry about the emotional intimacy most people who want from a real relationship.
2. Emotional Unavailability and No Sense of Commitment
When you go out with a player, you may notice they are emotionally unavailable. While you seem to think you’re in a serious relationship, they don’t support you. Also, they may seem unwilling to change their relationship status on social media or not meet your emotional needs
In the dating world, when you are going out with someone, you should usually feel some kind of commitment from them. However, players tend to play by their own rules and will look at relationships as games. This means they feel no need to commit to you or anyone else fully.
If you’re also into casual fun, that’s OK – but if you want something serious, you’d better avoid players.
3. You’re Doing Most (If Not All) of the Relationship Work
A healthy relationship is all about give and take. This means that you both put in the effort to try and make it work. That’s why doing most of the work in the relationship is one of the most common warning signs of a player in dating.
To get a better idea of your relationship balance, think of everything you and your partner have done together in the past year:
How many of the things happening were your initiative?
How many times were you the one to write and call first?
How many times did you say “I love you”?
How many times did they say the same?
How many times were you able to be physically intimate without it resulting in sex?
If you think about it and grow concerned about the numbers or the lack of balance, you may be dating a player. Or they are just a person who doesn’t meet your relationship needs.

4. No Consistency
You can always count on players to be consistently inconsistent:
They may keep going MIA
It’s OK for them to ignore your texts or calls
No matter what happens, they just seem to be completely over it.
When you think the relationship is over, they’ll start to love bomb and pull you back in. This leaves many women feeling confused and causes them the unnecessary pain of being heartbroken over and over again.

We are our souls.
When you connect with someone who you feel deeply about, it opens up your soul.
The problem is, that you keep yourself in your soul, you have your essence inside that space, and to let someone else reach inside and hold that part of you, is like breaking piece's of a rough diamond, and you begin loosing part's of you, it just depends if you allow yourself to be polished and shine or crushed into dust.
We are all bashed around in the sea of life until, one day, if we are lucky enough we come to rest against another stone and the broken pieces of us fit into their broken edges, and anchor us together enough, so we can ground each other and stop being beaten up by the waves of the world.
We can rest, and the waves can polish our broken edges and smooth them out, it can blend you together in time, to be stronger than you thought you could be.
But sometimes we need to be put into the fire and burned to smooth out the edges and turn the rock into a diamond so we know our worth.

Party girl
She walks in, all eyes on her, With a smile that could light up the room. She dances to the beat, never a blur, Her laughter, infectious as a tune.
Her dress, a glittering array, Her hair, styled to perfection. She moves like she's in a ballet, Her grace, a never-ending reflection.
She is the life of the party, Her energy, never subsiding. She brings joy to everyone, hearty, Her spirit, always abiding.
But beneath the smiles and the laughter, Lies a soul searching for more. She is searching for something after, A love that will endure.
So here's to the party girl, Who brings light to the darkest of nights. May she find what she's searching for, And may her spirit always take flight.

Tease
Kim who enjoyed teasing her classmate, Jim. Kim thought it was funny to make fun of Jim's appearance, his interests, and his hobbies. She would often make snide comments and laugh at him in front of their friends.
Jim tried to ignore Kim's teasing and be the bigger person, but it was starting to take a toll on him. He felt hurt and embarrassed, and he didn't understand why Kim treated him this way. He was a kind and thoughtful person who never hurt anyone, but Kim seemed to enjoy making him feel small.
One day, Jim decided enough was enough. He confronted Kim and told her how her teasing was affecting him. Kim was taken aback by Jim's honesty and realized that she had been hurting someone she considered a friend. She apologized to Jim and promised to be more thoughtful in the future.
From that day on, Kim made a conscious effort to be kinder to Jim. She no longer teased him and instead, she tried to get to know him better and appreciate his unique qualities. Over time, Kim and Jim became good friends, and they enjoyed each other's company.
In the end, Kim learned that treating others with kindness and respect is much more rewarding than teasing and belittling them. She was grateful for Jim's honesty and appreciated the opportunity to grow as a person.

Is it Better to Have Loved and lost Than to have Never Loved at All?
Is it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all? It's like deciding between going on a thrilling adventure or staying in your cozy comfort zone.
When you've experienced love and then faced its loss, it can feel like getting caught in a sudden rainstorm without an umbrella. The emotions can be overwhelming, like a torrential downpour soaking you to the bone. It can leave you feeling heartbroken and questioning whether it was worth the risk.
But here's another perspective: love is like embarking on a breathtaking journey. It's like setting off on a hike up a challenging mountain, where the climb is arduous, but the views from the top are awe-inspiring. When you've loved, you've likely experienced moments of immense joy, connection, and personal growth that are like glimpses of paradise along the way.
Even when it ends in heartbreak, the lessons learned and the memories made become part of your life story. It's like collecting unique souvenirs from different destinations that shape who you are. Each relationship leaves an imprint on your heart, teaching you valuable lessons about yourself, relationships, and what you truly desire.
On the other hand, there's the alternative—never having loved at all. It's like staying indoors, cozy and dry, while others venture out into the unpredictable beauty of the world. You might avoid the pain of heartbreak, but you also miss out on the exhilarating experiences, deep connections, and personal growth that love can bring.
So, is it better to have loved and lost? Well, that's for you to decide. Some may argue that the joy and growth they experienced outweigh the pain of loss. Others may prefer the comfort of a safe and predictable life.
Ultimately, it's a personal choice, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Love is a risk, but it's also a source of profound fulfillment and richness in life. Just remember, whether you've loved and lost or chosen a different path, what truly matters is finding happiness and living a life that feels authentic to you.
Cheers

Ready to Mingle! Join Now to browse Singles!
I cannot recall having the desire to mingle.
Probably 25 years ago, I was on POF and the woman I was dating suggested we go to their dating site advertised meeting at a local restaurant to 'mingle' but my thought was "If we were dating, why would there be a need to mingle?"
Okay, some people like to socialize... I get that, but the meeting wasn't organized. I expected an announcer or someone to greet the members, as they say 'break the ice' with introductions, expectations, locations... maybe not name tags with profile names, but something to actually attract people to converse as a starting point.
Instead, it was some guys or girls who came alone or with a friend and didn't really mingle.
Unsuccessful at best.
Matchdoctor had a small group of members who were on the forums and successfully had a few meet & greet events that worked. I went to one and to my surprise met some nice folks!
One lady was 20 miles from me and working in health care. She was accepted to a nursing program in Alaska and relocated. We messaged a few times and after a few years I lost contact with her.
Hopefully, she found what she was looking for...
