The past few months with the mystery man was certainly bittersweet. The times spent together were absolutely amazing....had never been happier than in those moments cut short. I was treated like a queen when he was actually by my side. But to me, quality time is crucially important and sadly, one day every 1-2 weeks was just tearing me apart, for in those times apart I was always missing him. I do not blame him, he is a good man. No, hes not married....as i had gotten to know him better, i had seen his scheduled calendars, filled with work, studies for his bachelors exams, weight training, etc. Maybe he is married...but only to his work. He is very dedicated to everything he does. His wealthy career choice has ruined relationships in the past and i can understand how that would happen. However, i was willing to be patient....and i was. But with all that he has given to me, i feel that i just dont have enough to offer him in return and i feel as though I'm holding him back from his goals. I broke things off not because he had treated me poorly in any way, but because he deserves to be happy and i dont think im enough to fill those shoes. Money is certainly helpful, but it doesnt fill the void space that only love can occupy. And without love we are all just an empty shell merely existing with a masking smile.

My beautiful , special friend, Usha....HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are a classy lady! May your day be very special...like you are!

Please join me in wishing her a wonderful, super birthday!

I've dreamed of living in Ireland for years now. It is a dream that has sustained me through my darkest days. I plan to move there, with my son, after he graduates high school next summer. Yes, I had my life all planned.

I don't know if my dreams of Ireland are going to come true now! Something has happened to throw that dream into chaos! I am so angry and confused.

I was careful to only correspond with men from Ireland. Well, last month 2 of them broke contact with me when I told them about my past baggage of the abuse and suicide attempts and mental health issues. Most men can't handle it and I don't blame them. One of the men couldn't handle the fact that I have seen and interacted with spirits and grew up in a haunted house.

They both ended up calling me a freak and leaving skid marks on the pavement in their haste to get away from me.

I cannot help the fact that my 150 year old childhood house is haunted or that I could sense and see the things I do! I grew up believing everyone could and it was no big deal. My mother told me to never mention it out loud again and to never tell anyone. Well, that made me feel like a freak for sure.

I have been corresponding with 3 men from Ireland, since the "freak incident." Everything had been going well for this past month.

Unbeknownst to me, a man had slipped in under my radar. And he is not Irish! How could I have let this happen?! We got to know each other in the forums. Just friendly banter really. He got to see all my secrets because of my inability to lie and keep my mouth shut.

He even joked with me about knowing my bad qualities and asked if I had any good qualities as a selling point to recommend me as a potential partner for a man. That remark kind of stung. He emailed me to apologize and we have been corresponding ever since. He got to know me better on the forums and through our private correspondence.

I should have seen it coming, but I didn't! He is so kind, compassionate, caring, understanding, loving and passionate he completely blindsided me! How could I stand against such an onslaught?! I had also stopped corresponding with the 3 men from Ireland a week ago and I didn't even notice!

When he confessed his feelings Wednesday night and I realized mine, I was livid with anger! How could I have let this happen?! I let him have it with other things from my past to discourage him and he took the revelations with style and grace! I then asked about any bad qualities he had and if he had any beliefs that were sexist, racist, homophobic or anything else objectionable. He responded calmly that I knew him well enough that I already knew the answers to those questions.

Dammit, I did! I raged at him for a couple hours until I calmed down. He was loving and kind through my whole tirade. Of course! He's perfect for me! But he's not Irish! I'm so screwed.

I told my 17 year old autistic son about my problem. He looked at me confused and said, "You have a man who knows all your flaws and accepts you and loves you anyway. What is your problem, again?"

Men! You see what I'm dealing with?!

On my way out with my friend, she is single also. We are talking about men she says intelligent men have small c*ck. T he bigger the c*ck , less IQ.

What do women prefer. IQ or size?

Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, and that shouldn't be taken lightly -- nor should Scorpios. There's no fluff or chatter for Scorpios, these folks concern themselves with beginnings and endings, and are unafraid of either; they also travel in a world that is black and white and has little use for gray. The curiosity of Scorpios is immeasurable.

Fearless Scorpios just keep on going, since they are stubborn and determined to succeed. These folks are intense, passionate and filled with desire. They're also complex and secretive, so don't expect to get much out of them, lest they become suspicious and exit stage left.

They are intuitive, probing and very focused on knowing who's who and what's what. Scorpios can lose their temper (and even become vengeful) when someone gets in their way, so it's best to give them plenty of room. Beware the Scorpio who feels crossed! These folks can turn vindictive in no time flat. Luckily, once Scorpios catch their breath, they will return to their usual determined and loyal (albeit strong-willed) ways.

Extreme sports are right up Scorpio's alley, as is most anything that will test their mettle. They've got to have an adversary, since it makes the game that much more fun. Scorpio's colors? Powerful red and serious black. When it comes to love, though, Scorpios soften up a bit and are caring and devoted with their lovers, even if they do hold on a bit tight. Scorpios are also lusty in the extreme (how else?), so they need to be mindful of their reproductive organs.

The great strength of the Scorpio-born is in their determination, passion and motivation. Scorpios don't know the word quit, which is why they usually get the job done. A powerhouse? Like no other.

Strictly speaking, I miss being in a LDR. All those texts and messages and chatting on skype and cramming an entire relationship into an hour or two a day: planning the next holiday together, sharing virtual lives, it’s a rush. Anyone who’s been in a fun LDR knows exactly what I mean. It seems so intense, but really it isn’t too time-consuming at all. A blast of heat to warm the rest of the day, a week together here and there to feel thoroughly decadent, nice.

When you’re seeing someone (relatively) local and he wants to be together every weekend, what's that all about? Back off, mate, I need space.

Can't believe I'm saying this (I HATE flying) but I think I’m back in the market for an LDR. I really must look to see if there’s a website that specializes in those, offering fellas who are fun, interesting, able to write lucidly, sound and look good on skype, and want to be in touch every day, no matter how briefly. Plus of course be good company during those times when LD becomes CU.

Now how do I word that in my profile without sounding decidedly dodgy and scammerish?

I'm going to add comments as I think of things, but feel free to squeeze a word in edgeways, especially if you have good suggestions for the perfect LDR.

I'm sure that every single one of us has our own flaws that keep us here, or at least keep us coming back. Other than the obvious enjoyment of socialization with our blogging peers, of course. Question is, are you willing to admit to your flaws? How long was your longest relation during this dating period? And when was the last longest relationship? What are our flaws that keep us single? Why things never work the way we want them to? Is the opposite gender always the one to blame in this dating scenario, or can you admit it's something you may be doing wrong. Are you too clingy? Maybe you're just a little hotheaded and sharp with the tongue. Are your standards set too high? Are you afraid of your own emotions when you feel any sort of attachment....do you run? What's keeping you from your happiness or are you truly happy just being alone.....though I personally don't see happiness in that..I had been there several years and it's a very lonely place to be. What keeps you single?

Me, personally.....I'm emotionally expressive. I will say how I feel, when I feel it. Some just cannot handle that....not to say that it's their fault, because it is, after all, one of my many flaws .....I'm also very impatient...although I have all the patience in the world with people in general, I hate to wait because it drives me bonkers.lol

This seems to be a problem I run into and it bothers me a bit...surely I can't be the only one who thinks this way. Please correct me if Im wrong....

I was raised in a strict household with four older sisters and no brothers, where some things just werent said. Being all girls we weren't in a household where "boys will be boys". Having two boys of my own, i had raised them to respect women and they now do.

With that being said, am I wrong to think its disrespectful for a man ....someone I hardly know, to say "damn, you're hot" or "sexy" .... Or to refer to me as baby, babe or cuti . Its one thing, if hes a good friend or boyfriend to be that forward to speak in that manner lightly because i know him well and its harmless because im familiar with the personality. But to practically be a stranger or mere acquaintance, wouldnt it be degrading? I feel like a candy in a candy store, rather than a human being with a personality and a brain. Then when i express that feeling of degradation i get an attitude as if i just flipped off a compliment. Not sure whos right in this sense and would like some other views lol is it just me?

Is there, or should there be such a thing as bedroom etiquette?

What for you are the do’s and dont’s in the bedroom?

Last year my 3 years relationship with my bf was on the rocks, I asked for a break and found CS. I joined the site and discovered how fun blogging is. Met so many nice people here, made friends with others from different countries, harmlessly briefly flirted with some guys till I met someone who made my days brighter, he made me laughed and do crazy funny things that no one else did. We became very close, gotten to know each other so well, we could talk and laugh about everything...all was great, all we need to do was meet in real life.

He asked to meet up many times but I wasn't ready. We talked and became very close for almost 10 months. During the fourth month, my ex-bf contacted me and wanted to sort things out. I honestly told him I've met someone online and already moved on. Well, online relationship is not really something that could go up against a relationship that had foundation in real life. Things became confusing to me, I cancelled every plans to meet up due to uncleared issues with my ex-bf. Maybe I'm not being honest to myself but I'm honest to them.

I chose to meet and talk to my ex-bf first cos I felt that what we've shared for 3 years deserve a chance to find out if there's still something worth keeping for. I felt it would be then the right time to say goodbye properly in person in a respectful way..then I could meet and hug my online best friend and lover for 9 months in real life and perhaps be happy with him.

My ex-bf came and left again a couple of weeks ago. I didn't have the heart to turn someone down...someone who would do so much to have me and make me feel loved and wanted. Things got sorted as he have wanted...I wasn't 100% on it cos part of me was thinking of someone else.

It's a difficult choice for me. I chose someone whom I've already met and shared my life with over someone I fell in love online who might not feel the same towards me in real life.

That wonderful 9 months will haunt me from time to time ...I will just have to learn to live with it. Sometimes I still have some wishful thinking that maybe just maybe I could meet this special someone in real life someday...I owe him a cup of coffee at least. I know it's wrong and mustn't happen....just me being fruityloopy, I guess.

I really really wish him a very happy life and he will always be my online bestfriend.

To all my friends here, I hope you'll understand and find some lessons to learn from my story.

Merry Christmas to you all....Lovelots, Jx
