The love thing
I have blogged on this before, but I never got an answer that made sense to me so bear with me. To get the right answer, you have to ask the right question, so I’m trying. (I know, very
)I’m picky, okay, and there haven’t been many men in my life. When it reached decision time, commit to sharing lives or call it a day, I have in the past tried to commit, and felt so claustrophobic the relationship crashed, or I’ve backed out, and felt mainly relief - along with loneliness and regret, of course. But always, relief.
I asked a friend if I was doomed to be single for the rest of my life and he said yes.
Bugger. Okay, well I've probably run out of time now anyway, but I do wonder what I’ve missed out on. See, I’ve blamed myself for not being able to fall in love but – what is love? Was I waiting for a Hollywood emotion that doesn’t exist? What IS it?

Love is a small word with many different meanings and interpretations, but still one we all strive towards
In which case I will have to add to my 'essential questions' list not only 'how do you plan to spend the rest of your life' but also 'tell me what your interpretation of love is.'
Maybe I shouldn't rush the questions. They aren't big or anything.
It's fun watching some of the squirming.
I simply ask what he wants and tell him what I want.
If that matches, just don't talk for the first couple of hours when you meet & have the opportunity to get your hands onto each other for a couple of month.
Before you ask, efficient me hasn't gotten any complaints so far.
KN it was meant as a compliment
Heading home now, get some ice-cream and a good book.
Over and out for ice-cream
I do need passion. Not just passion between us, although of course that's very nice, but to believe passionately in something and work towards it together - that would do it.
I also thought and still think that is what is needed for a relationship to work...but...it needs more. Gregory fits the bill but I don't really like him much so love in any form is not going to happen.
You're getting over-excited
Do you think you could manage both myself and Unla together?
You are getting delusional as well as everything else
I believe that love is like love, no one of us can live without it
When I say like water, I mean it. We know the easiest thing is to get water, but its lack is very, very difficult
Hi Kenan and I've lived without it for an awfully long time. The tinseltown version, I mean. How would you define the love we cannot live without?
Welcome to my brother
I understand that
But it is not difficult
This is what you published two years ago
If I had the desire to love I would certainly find it
not difficult
Come try
I'm not interested in putting my time and energy into the above...If it means missing out on love so be it I can live very content with my decision.
I have lovely people in my life and I'm happy. That's pretty win-win
I think, or I'd like to think, that one day one unexpected option makes all the others vanish like soap-bubbles, but then I am a closet romantic
Tell me the title of your blog and I'll put my opinion on there rather than here
I always wanted a relationship where we didn't live together..No other guy wants that scenario.
haven't seen him in a year, went downhill when I met this one but we kept in touch, he took it well surprisingly but there's still that constant worrying for each other...and sometimes we talk as if nothing happened, must be real love if one can overlook one's imperfections and mistakes...
