What are you afraid of?

This always completely boggles my mind. Call me impulsive, call me foolish....but alas, I am a gemini and I do tend to act how I feel at any given moment, with how I feel. My emotions are often expressed freely....not sure if that is such a flaw, I guess it all depends on how ya look at it. Anyway....not to distract from the initial topic...

What are men and women afraid of? This seems to be the biggest issue in dating on my end. Why must a couple start off as friends first? What is this etiquette in dating to "wait" for this or it's "too soon" for that...funny thing is, divorce rate is higher these days than it ever has been and many years ago, romance and chivalry ruled relationships and things weren't always over-analyzed like they are today. People fell in love without worrying about which steps to take when in the relationship...they used their hearts rather than racking the brains....and then, in staying together, they actually resisted the impulse to jump ship when things got rocky.

What are you afraid of....commitment? Getting hurt? fear of the thoughts of another of you? What's the big deal.....if the connection is there, it's there...why over-analyze....if it's not broke, don't fix it. Men (not all) want to have sex within the first few days but then say it's too soon for feelings.....well...but it's not too soon to give you everything physically? And this is why I don't get involved physically unless I'm in a relationship ....some will say anything just to get the physical gratification but when it comes to any kind of feeling or commitment, they start shaking in their shoes. What's wrong with people? Or is is me? If it is, then so be it....This is me lol....


...just off the top of my head so please excuse any grammatical errors rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing wink

I like to know the person well before getting into a relationship, but not 'friends' in the traditional meaning of the word.

That is why I find online dating suits me. I get to know them well before ever actually meeting.

It's harder to do that in real life. In RL, you are either friends or dating.
Molly, that is so true.....there is no gray area in real life and that's where the confusion lies, really...it's either your friends or you're dating...and at least on a dating site, there is somewhat of an implication as to why we're here...for the most part anyway. I know there are some, especially on sites such as this one, that are here for the blogs and other kinds of social mingling. dancing typing
I am willing to do the social mingling, and enjoy it.

But I enjoy dating more grin
Me too.....but I just want one professor laugh cheering

Enigma,

Hmmmm.....I have no time to come old and not to die ether....to much undone still and happily my situation is better than for most....I'm going to live in an own house for the rest of my life and if I need any help,it's just to hire somebody for that....also my 3 children are already checking my life very carefully....already 6 years ago,when I went to Ukraine,they followed with Internet where I was all the time and call to the people that I met,to be sure,that nothing happen to me.....if I'm different,so are my children too and much because I teach them from small into an old fashioned family life.

The dating nightmare... "Let's be friends, just friends. I'm not ready for a relationship but I expect you to do things with me considered inapropriate in terms of a friendship. We're not together, you can't claim me, you can't be with anyone but me. [read more]
