very good point




we have to eventually trust enough to let someone in or we are kidding ourselves

I do not fear it H..

..... fear or foresight ....... I confuse the 2 at times.

Aww there there RDM..it will be alright on the night...who's catchphrase was that...

Hindsight 20/20....

just can't help being a realist rather than a romantacist.....

RISKING

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

To reach out for another is to risk involvement.

To expose your feelings is to risk exposing your true self.

To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk.

To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To live is to risk dying.

To hope is to risk despair.

To try is to risk failure.

But, risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing at all.

The person who risk nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.

They may avoid suffering and sorrow but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live and love.

Chained by their certitudes, they are a slave. They have forfeited their freedom.

Only a person who risks is free.

There is nothing wrong with being a realist RDM..i am..maybe thats why i find being a romantacist real hard,to tell the truth im kind of fed up with my building brick of a heart..

Aye, it will be alright on the night...... it always is at the start ...... I have a tendancy to look into the future and the negatives are jumping out much higher than the positives at this present time and state of mind I am in. Let it run it's course and try to be cool about it is my philosophy. It will pass, I think ..... hope .....

Hi RDM

Very Astute comment.

Life, love, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is all a matter of perception..

I agree but you have to let time go by before they get into your head; too many people are "open books" to anyone that will listen and it's not healthy or wise.

More than half of the u.s. has cheated in relationships; over 2/3 of men; and the divorce rate is 54%.

The key is to choose wisely; money and looks is all that many people seem to be into.

yes, or delusion. Putting yourself in a state of mind for the need of a belief in something. Applies to everything, love, religion, sport, life.

Quoted from above ....

To love is to risk not being loved in return.

Yes, agree life is about risks and they can be exciting.

Love is wonderful, it's the best feeling in the world. Been there.

My issue is the battle between my head and my heart. The head doesn't need love at this point, but the heart would very much enjoy the experience. A familiar fight I am sure most will agree. And most confusing, the subconscience inner male drive to covet and unite is hard to supress.

I have some of you getting into my head. This is why I laugh, cry, feel pain and worry about some of you. I have had my heart damaged by some. If you truly want to use a dating site to its best you must open up and let others in. JMHO....

Hi Merri .........Lovely new photo you got there ....

What if you can't get someone out of your head?

The longest 18 inches in the world is the distance between ones head and ones heart..

Possibly start allowing them into your heart..

To reach out for another is to risk involvement.

John, you are truly a very wise man..
