I settle for seeing you, even for an instant…
I am content to look at you, just for a moment…
To take away with me…
The nuance and the contrast…
That your beautiful eyes create, next to the immensity…
That your beautiful eyes create, next to the immensity...

I settle for seeing you, even for an instant…
I am content to look at you, just for a moment…
To take away with me…
The nuance and the contrast…
That your beautiful eyes create, next to the immensity…
That your beautiful eyes create, next to the immensity...

And even if you tell me that you don't love me…
You will live sweetly in me…
Like a song of restless birds…
Like the dew of a gray cloud...
And even if my life becomes wandering…
I swear to you that I will wait for you, longing…
I swear to you that I will wait for you, longing…

Ilan Chester, the venezuelan musician singing it on this video, said he thought this was one of the most beautiful songs ever composed... And I can't agree more... Venezuelan composer, José Sifontes, created it on 1975...
This song is so soft...
Like a caress...
Like making sweet, long, slow, passionate love...

Quite a range of discussions under this heading. But I'll share one. A friend of mine, certainly not ME, wondered-what to do, when you have met the one, but you haven't experienced anything carnal, since your last squeeze? And it may have been quite a while, of course, again for my friend, not me. She, not me, feels that the stars are auspicious for a new lover traipsing into her, not mine, life. I told her to be honest and very frank, both with revelations and questions. After all, we are all adults, and should know all about those gnarly birds and bees. And about the changes the occur as the years go by. Just wondering. For her, and not for me. Finally, as always here, I bet the emphases will be different for the girls and boys.

99.7 of the letters I receive suggest we are to become friends. When I ask what exactly they mean, they answer: normal friends.

I don’t know your norms. I never had male friends. If you can’t fix my sewage or shift my tires, what exactly do I need you for?

From my perspective – O.Henry, please, forgive me for reformulation – but as I see it: a real friendship is to survive love, poverty and war.


If I’m so madly in love that I cannot sleep, eat, work, live… I talk only about him… will you be there for me to listen to and support? Ad infinitum? If not – you are not my friend.

If I suddenly become so poor, that I’d have to beg money for food, will you still be my friend? If not - you are not my friend.

If there’s war between our countries… are you still my friend then?

Those are my requirements to a friend.

Good news: it’s voluntarily ??

New to online dating..Now, I' m beginnjng to think if it works at all.First, I came across some scammers...who say they' re looking for relationships, but, only interested in getting to know you, your personal life so they scam you.
Are there real men here ? I'm interested in foreign men for long term relationship.
I'm caring, homely, kind,sincere.

She has set her notifications that prevent communication from those in faraway lands. I send her a LIKE in hopes that she will reconsider her position and allow a message to be received from another continent. I can understand her reluctance - this person she desires should be within 50 miles or less for practical reasons - and where too would I find the money to pay for a flight (when flights resume more as they should) to get her to me or vice versa? I'm idealistic, I know, but shouldn't we believe love will find out the way? As per the following poem:

Love Will Find Out The Way

Over the mountains
And over the waves,
Under the fountains
And under the graves;
Under floods that are deepest,
Which Neptune obey,
Over rocks that are steepest,
Love will find out the way.

When there is no place
For the glow-worm to lie,
When there is no space
For receipt of a fly;
When the midge dares not venture
Lest herself fast she lay,
If Love come, he will enter
And will find out the way.

You may esteem him
A child for his might;
Or you may deem him
A coward for his flight;
But if she whom Love doth honour
Be conceal'd from the day-
Set a thousand guards upon her,
Love will find out the way.

Some think to lose him
By having him confined;
And some do suppose him,
Poor heart! to be blind;
But if ne'er so close ye wall him,
Do the best that ye may,
Blind Love, if so ye call him,
He will find out his way.

You may train the eagle
To stoop to your fist;
Or you may inveigle
The Phoenix of the east;
The lioness, you may move her
To give over her prey;
But you'll ne'er stop a lover-
He will find out the way.

If the earth it should part him,
He would gallop it o'er;
If the seas should o'erthwart him,
He would swim to the shore;
Should his Love become a swallow,
Through the air to stray,
Love will lend wings to follow,
And will find out the way.

There is no striving
To cross his intent;
There is no contriving
His plots to prevent;
But if once the message greet him
That his True Love doth stay,
If Death should come and meet him,
Love will find out the way!

Anonymous Olde English

Many people here openly say they are looking for love.

Where do they think to find it ?

People are so obsessed with finding love. (I feel) But it's not a job/business opportunity, lost puppy or a Diamond in a mine to be found or to look for.

You can not find love signing up in a dating site with an ideal partner solidly etched in your head. Matches are only made in heaven. May be you will find a perfect match if and when you reach there. On earth you have to become the match.

Be open minded. Be kind. Be loving. You have to start loving in order to be loved. Love is in loving. You won't find it anywhere else unless you first find it in your own heart.

So... until you find love within yourself, all you need is not love. A shag, a partner to share your life or loneliness with. (May be.)

Delete the ideal image in your mind and learn to accept people for who they are while not changing who you are. That's the basic seed of love.

Or just say, looking for a shag. That is honesty to a certain degree with most profiles. I think.

What can I say? Many years go by and nada. It gets really tough to keep on believing that there is that special someone out there for you. Maybe it's just not in the cards, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you can be free of the whole romantic thing? Sometimes I can handle the 'loneliness' situation better than at other times. Right now, all I want to say is: 'Ahm lonely, woman! Git a move on!'

One question, madam ... Do you like French men? What do you think of us? Would you like to meet a French man? Have you ever met a French man? Give your opinion ...

You've been ghosted when the person who was messaging / emailing / texting so often suddenly goes quiet. Whoosh. Gone. No explanation, not a word, no message, no email. Could be dead. Could be bored. Could have lost their cellphone privileges.



You've been benched when they vanish to pursue other interests, then return all smiles

Hard to know whether you've been ghosted or benched at the time Also hard to know how to react when the ghost reappears as though there had never been a benching. If you like them, I mean.

Kick em inna teeth or act as if you never noticed they'd vanished ...
