Last Commented Dating & Relationships Blogs (2,541)

So, after years of searching, I finally found someone!

We met in 2019 in the US through a different site. We exchanged messages there for a short while then we exchanged phone numbers. A few days later, we met up in person and we hit it off. Unfortunately, days after we met he was hospitalized and we were unable to meet up again and I had to go back to The Philippines and Indonesia.

We stayed in touch though and we loved playing online Scrabble. I just recently returned to the US for a family event and we met up again. We went on several dates and he kept saying that his feelings for me have been developing. The same was true for me. What was so funny was that he finally proposed three days before I was going back to The Philippines. Although I wanted to say yes, I wanted to have a real relationship first and thankfully he agreed. I wanted to get to know him more.

Hopefully, this long distance relationship will work. Although we have done this before , we were only friends and not in a romantic relationship.

I am still going to be on this site not to look for that special someone but just for the blogs.

Wish us luck!!!

I would like to see if old friends from here are still online regularly, in any case, greetings to everyone out there

Considering the number of members that choose not to post a photo on their profile page, I am wondering whether the inclusion of photos plays a role in the number of contacts (flowers/mail) received from potential suitors.

Likewise, does the type/quantity of photos enhance or deter a persons appeal?

I ask this question because today as I was browsing profiles, I came across a profile that included a photo of a woman lying face down on a sunbed.

Now, nothing unusual in that you may think, however, in the photo that showed the womens upper legs and bum, she was completely naked with legs slightly apart, thus leaving nothing to the imagination.

Of course, to a guy like me that made her extremely attractive!

In choosing people to contact, how important are photos to you?

LADIES give me a chance you might be surprised

We all have so many pieces to the puzzle that is Us.
Being here is like taking myself to the fairground.
Climbing on to an emotional rollercoaster ride, shaking with fear, excited and scared knowing that this ride will not stop until it's finished.

Climbing into those swings that swing you around, excilerating, thrilling freedom from the real world knowing the ride will end someday and hopefully the feeling will be remembered with joy.

Going there and finding someone who will ride with you and hold your hand on the rollercoaster, be there when the swing stops to hold his arms out for you to fall into knowing that you are safe ..

That's what we all want, that is what I want for the next chapter in my life, to have that and be that for Him.

I will not settle for less than all the good, bad and ugly truth that is Him and the person inside He shows me that is hidden from view is more precious than any ring.

Someone who trusts me and doesn't get jealous.
Someone who talks to me.
Someone who is willing to do things with me because I like to do them, even if what we're doing isn't their favorite thing (this goes both ways).
Someone who smiles a lot.
Someone who is compassionate.
Someone who doesn't tickle me.
Someone who will surprise me with gifts (like a small love note tucked into my jacket pocket).
Someone who is generous.
Someone who believes they can help change the world or make a difference in people's lives.
Someone who believes that anything is possible, even if much of it is improbable.
Someone who likes to take walks.
Someone who won't laugh at me, but will laugh with me.

As I ponder what it is that each gender wants in a partner, I cannot help but think that there are going to be inevitable conflicts within the opposite gender we seek.

Are we destined by life to be partners? I would say yes. We need to reproduce to be life...otherwise life itself would no longer exist. In order to create life, we need to partner up.

So therefore, we need to pick a partner we wish or want to procreate with.

For a woman, she desires security. That could be a tall guy. That could be a wealthy guy. That could be a well adapted socially intelligent guy. That might be a physically strong guy. The list goes on. Many (if not all) women want all of these traits in the guy they choose to reproduce with.

The problem is, God did not design all men in such a way to satisfy all women. If all men were tall, there would be no tall men. There needs to be short men in order to have tall men. If all men were physically strong, there would be no strong men. There needs to be physically weak men in order for there to be strong men. .....and so on and so on.

The same can be said about men's desires with the woman he wants to reproduce with....she is to be young, she is to be healthy looking (hair & breasts). She is to be of an agreeable nature. She is to be nurturing.

Not all women are these traits.

So why did God create such variations of humans?

Maybe the answer to that question has to do with Life's Big Picture.

Perhaps our purpose.

Remember, we need to partner up to have life in the first place. Need....

Maybe we are here to test our ego, to test our vanity, to test our level of selfishness.....how much will we bend to our personal desires? Will we bend to our personal desires to the point where we will eliminate ourselves...deny life; thus, deny ourselves?

When I think of "You don't look like your father" actress Liv Rundgren aka Liv Tyler comes to mind. Her mother Bebe Buell had a brief relationship with Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler distanced by his drug addictions and had been living with Musician Todd Rundgren.
Liv always thought Todd was her biological father.
About 10 years later Liv met Steven and noticed their resemblance. Her mother later confirmed her suspicion.
Okay, so everyone became rich and famous and life moves on...

That doesn't always happen that way as some suspicions that are confirmed by DNA testing often have negative consequences. If you've seen episodes of Maury Povich or Dr. Phil you know what I'm talking about.
Typical scenario: She's a Baby-Mama looking to find who the real daddy is. The 3 guys she's been shacking up with all took DNA tests. The reveal is explosive!

Maury, Maury, Maury...

Here's one where two women claim the same man fathered their children and he denied their accusations.

For women who like to go out or talk to Al.
