RE: I want a perfect soul

I don't belong here.

RE: do people fear madness?

Are you asking if people fear becoming mentally ill,

or if they fear mentally ill people?

RE: Dumping the relationship

I do think we owe it to people to tell them we're done(providing we feel safe in doing so),

but we don't owe them an explanation.



If they want to talk about it and ask questions it's their responsibility to remain civil

RE: Dumping the relationship

I didn't actually read the poll options...

I assumed by least painful, we were discussing least painful

for the person we're gutting.


You can imagine my embarassment.

I've called it the discount bin before, but I like your analogy much better.

Well done.

RE: Dumping the relationship

RE: Dumping the relationship

Just tell them you're not happy in the realtionship, or you're interested in seeing other people, or you don't see a future together you'd enjoy.


Just tell them whatever's up for you, without blaming them or accusing them of stuff.

It's enough for people to with the rejection, and the loss they don't need to be trying to cope with a bunch reasons why we think they're not good enough to be with.

RE: How can I cancel my membership pemenantly from Connecting Singles?

You have to cancel, and then make it 30 days with out reactivating.

RE: Trump will never be President

While I share this belief, I do find myself more than a little worried

it's an expression of my own normalcy bias.

RE: Local women. Do they exist?

I went to a school like that.

Everybody new everybody else by first, and last name and more often than not by highschool which house you lived in.


If you didn't start school in the district you were the new kid for years and if you didn't show up until the sixth grade or after you graduated years later still the new kid.

RE: want honest answers, but no sarcasm, pu--leeze--

You're welcome Ro.


I'm not really that good of a judge of people(I tend to overestimate them...a lot, but I'm mostly ok with that), so I miss that sort of thing all the time. I also hate to refuse people favors, so I could see myself feeling a little awkward in that situation, through no fault of yours.

RE: CS is a Candy Store

It's classic CS, too.


It caused a big kerfuffle and really, all I wanted to do was make

the pez dispener comparison, and the "not that easy to open" innuendo.

RE: want honest answers, but no sarcasm, pu--leeze--

I think it was just awkward for them.


I think they want to be neighborly, but maintain that boundary of not being in each other's homes. They might have had a neighbor who became a pest at some point.

It was probably awkward for them to refuse you the favor because they want to get along, and like doing nice things for you but they'd also like to maintain the "not in each others homes" boundary. If people don't come in to hang out, you don't have to tell them it's a bad time, it's time to go, or just have people there when they don't want to.


If you like them, and would like to continue your light friendship, I'd go out of my way to greet them and be very nice, but not mention the laundry thing at all. If they bring it up, I'd apologize for possibly putting them on the spot. If they object and say it would be fine, I'd decline very politely and carry the conversation into a new subject.


I don't think you did anything wrong. I think you just stumbled up against an unspoken boundary, and they're maybe the sort of people who have trouble saying no.

RE: one hundred million angles singing

Your puns are not for the obtuse.

RE: Local women. Do they exist?

It depends on where you are.

There's not a lot of local members here either.


I think there's a good amount of local members in Ireland though.

RE: Can you survive off liquids alone?

What liquids?

RE: CS is a Candy Store

CS is not a candy store...

RE: Realizing it isn't going to work

Bed hogging wouldn't bother me.

I sleep best with a woman draped over me.



No person should ever have to suffer the company of someone who wakes up chirpy though.

RE: Do u believe in aliens?

I believe there's probably other intelligent life in the world.


I doubt the claims of sightings though.

RE: Whos tired of waiting for Miss/Mr Right

I'm at the opposite end of that ready to settle thing, kinda.


If someone local and fun pops her head up she'd be welcome until that inevitable first issue. I'd kill a little time with just about anyone I wouldn't mind seeing naked and who's company I enjoyed, but I'm not getting into aother relationship right now, no matter who it is.

RE: Jehowah Witnesses?

I don't let them start their spiel.

If they try to speak I speak over them.

I point to the "No Soliciting" sign on my door and tell them

if they can read the bible, they can read my sign and close the door.


It's actually kinder than it sounds.

Having dealt with sales managers, I know it leaves their trainer

the least to work with.


If I were a better person I'd learn enough to try and help them,

but I'm not.

RE: not responding

No, most are not afraid.


Are they opening your messages?

Are you checking they've been online recently?

Are you messaging people who's stated preferences you match?

RE: How much jealousy is too much?

This topic gets handled here much like the topic of liars.

Most people will just provide the P.C. "all jealousy is bad, any sign of jealousy leave....blah blah blah...." It's another one of the "right" dating quiz answers that any sensible 15 year can go deeper than.

Most people giving that answer just want to distance themselves from being labelled, think they're putting some type of warning out into the world that's going to ward off all those evil jealous people, or want to stomp their way through life like emotional bulls in a china shop unfettered by the physics of relationships blaming the dishes for breaking as they hit the floor.

In reality, it's a judgement call.

Appropriate jealously lies somewhere between getting mad your partner smiled at the waitstaff, and not appreciating your partner sleeping naked with their "friend" Alex every other Thursday.

RE: Do you like average sized curvy women?

Toger you're going give someone a seizure with that wall of text. laugh

I'm just teasing you, but if you're unsure where you want your paragraphs, just toss some space between every couple sentence. Most of us aren't english majors anyway, we just need a little space to rest our eyes.

Something like this will help us read what you have to say...

RE: Best Break up or Goodbye Songs





There ya go Track.


I just stuck your link between the youtube and /youtube commands and deleted the "s" in "https".
That "s" is a security thing that doesn't work right in this formatt.

It looks like this...

RE: How to be happy?

That's a very hard thing to answer generically Wandering withut knowing you.


So many things can be interferring with your ability to be happy.

You may lack a safe and secure environment or access to proper nutrition. You may not be giving your self permission to be happy, but denying yourself options in favor of trying to be who/what you think you should be. You could have things out of balance in the opposite direction. It could be chemical, or hormonal, or you might be being mistreated or sabotaged, or you might have unrealistic expectations of the world, or yourself. It could be anything.


If you're not happy and flourishing maybe consider Maslow's hierarchy of needs and look for what's missing for you.

RE: Broken Heart

Maybe.

Our experiences effect us.



20 is pretty young to stop recovering from breakups but with each decade our likelihood of just being done with it all after a breakup goes up dramatically.

Most 20 year olds will recover and seek another relationship,

most 60 year olds will not.
