Reading between the lines generally falls somewhere from useless to outright counter productive. It's hard enough to get people to comprehend what we mean after it's been warped by what they want to hear, and what they expect to hear.
Reading between the lines is for people who want to believe you said something, without being confined to the reality of what has or has not been said.
It may be the only form of communication less effective
Absolutely, I avoid responding to some post/threads because of who wrote them, and am also more likely to respond for the same reason. I like some of the people here, and others not so much. Choosing who I interact with goes a long way towards keeping the peace, and my enjoying the time I spend here.
Until you realize all you've lost is the belief you were valued. Once free of the delusion we can look at the relationship comparatively with relationships wherein we were valued(as we are), see the glaring disparities between the two and find comfort in having escaped settling for someone who doesn't see our value.
If someone wants to understand American politics all they need to know is you have to become famous to become elected, and remember the cliché "Dance with the one that brought you."
Until that system is changed, this country will never stop being
Being married to someone you don't love is not easier than working.
It's a struggle too.
Think about all the things married people do with and for each other, and then think about someone doing these things with/for someone they don't even like.
Those things aside...you also give up being married to someone you do love.
I had a friend get hospitalized for eating to much fat. He was clearly overweight but not morbidly obese, and his liver(it might have been his kidney's I don't remember for certain but I think it was his liver) had started to fail. He ate fast food every day and the doctor told him it was the fat in his diet. They had him change his diet, and he's been ok since.
The date you described could be completely self absorbed.
He could also just be starved for personal interaction/connection. I've found people tend to go on like that, if they're not getting enough social contact.
That can also happen out of insecurity. He could just be trying to tell you over and over he's good enough to be on a date with you.
I've noticed it with single mom's often if they're not maintaining social relationships. When they get an adult to talk to, they can go on a bit. Some will just out right monologue. It's not a big issue for me, if I can tell something's up for them.
Most of us, really don't spend a lot of energy on specific women without getting some indication of reciprocated attraction. Doing otherwise is just begging to be settled for.
I don't care if I'm told face to face, on the phone, in a letter, in an email or in a text. Over is over. It's healthier to just deal with the loss, and let the other stuff go as soon as possible.
My first crush was a nurse with red hair. I had my tonsils out and the doctor didn't stitch me back up right, so I stayed in the recovery room puking up blood for about a day until they got him back in. She was one of the nurses in the recovery room. I was scared half witless, and puking up blood every half hour or so, but I kept trying to make her laugh anyway. I did, a little.
Which is more of a change than I would have guessed.
I'm not really looking to meet anyone though.
I was mostly just saying there are busier sites for us U.S. members. I hate to see people frustrated if this is the only site they're on. A lot of people use other sites for arranging dates, and this one for socializing on the forums and such.
It's impoartant not to mention other site names on the forums though. That's one rule that has been pretty strictly enforced in the past.
Most people, have no idea what that sentence means.
They're going to think it means anyone can strap any handgun they posses to their hip and go about their day as usual.
In reality...open carry without a permit is limited to handguns you own personally that are registered specifically to you. That means you cleared the background check to have the gun.
Entering a vehicle...conceals the weapon. Carrying concealed requires a permit. You do not want to get charged with illegally concealing a handgun.
I know this, and I don' even own a handgun.
I imagine there's a fair few more restrictions I'm not aware of.
I live in an open carry state. I've seen maybe three people carrying handguns here without a uniform on, in the last decade. I probably haven't seen it a dozen times in my whole life.
If you're having fun here that's fine, sometimes something nice happens along the way, but if you're really mostly here looking to meet someone this is a colossal misuse of your time and energy. You'll be far better served spending your time and energy someplace with tons of local people.
