Just to remind us
of what we are supposed to be wearing and doing by now in 2015. And ooh, look, the original Biff, he's come back to the future.
I do want to know where my hoverboard is.

Ciao for now
This isn't a bowing-out blog because I really just want to change my name - the one and only thing CS does not allow us to change. Age, country of origin, even our sex, no problem, but not the name.
So I will be back at some point under another name. Maybe I will wake Vivian and we can chat to each other. Won't be the first person here to do that ...
In the meantime, I will miss you guys, I will watch the blogs, although it will be a while before I can comment, and I am letting Vivian Lee, who has had a very hectic 15 months, go have a very long catnap. Any suggestions for a new name?
I'm feeling quite emoticonal about it all

To remember, here is a blog from Usha: she can love whoever she wants to and makes it work. But nobody should know!
A match made in heaven!!!
During a seminar, a woman asked," How do I know if I am with the right person?" confused
The speaker then noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so he said, "It depends. Is that your partner?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?" dunno
Here's the answer. professor
Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love.
roll eyes smitten
People in love sometimes say, "I was swept off my feet."Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU. doh grin
Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It's a natural cycle of EVERY relationship. blues uncertain
Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage. conversing very mad hug
At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, "Am I with the right person?" And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when relationships breakdown.sigh moping
The key to succeeding in a relationship is NOT finding the right person; it's learning to love the person you found. heart beating
People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.
Infidelity is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies within it. wow wow
I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. scold comfort
Because...........
The key to succeeding in a Relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the Person you found.
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it.
Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner), Just as there are physical laws Of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. If you know how to apply these laws, the results are predictable.
Love is therefore a "DECISION". Not just a feeling.

It does what is says on the tin.
I watch a lot of UK tv which I download and unfortunately it is still hit with adverts. This is a line from one such.
Seems on CS though (an international dating site) this may be less than true.
Maybe it is roughly split in 4.
1 - the scammers. Easilly spotted and blocked
2 - the players just here for the blogs and personal amusement
3 - folk who do not want to find someone more than a 100km from where they stay
4 - they few real folk on here who are interested.
So......
Hurrah for the real guys who want to make an effort

Shacking-Up!...
The phrase "SHACKING-UP" may not be a phrase some of you know or have heard of... but SHACKING-UP mean to live with a man or woman in a s*xual relationship without marriage.
Back in the day, until I was old enough as a teenager to know its meaning, and even today SHACKING UP means the same that is used when two single people live together as married in a s*xual relationship as a couple, but are unmarried. Yeah, there are many so-called nice terms and phrases the secular world uses to make what they do sound ethical and morally right and acceptable, such as: in the world SHACKING UP is also known as common-law or cohabiting; having an affair outside of marriage, only means adultery; or making love, really means fornication (sex outside of marriage) or practicing s*xual immorality in biblical terms.
Of course, there are those who would care less about what God speaks, and some of us have all been there and done that BEFORE we came to our senses and were redeemed unto salvation as Christian believers. As Christians now, we know that God is the only one who made the union between two people who are to be in love and enjoy the pleasures and comfort of s*xual relations in marriage: It is a known that God commands that to be in a marriage it is between a male and female as a couple, and the two shall be joined together in marriage as one flesh.
God commands that to prevent s*xual immorality, adultery and strong s*xual passions that we're unable to control, the man should have his own wife, and the woman should have her own husband, the couple in a dating relationship should get married to prevent s*xual immorality which is sin. I Corinthians chapter 7.
Many couples young and older, with and without children are making the choice to live together which is SHACKING-UP. And this makes them SHACKERS Many women conclude to many false promises of marriage and myths, thinking its going to improve their relationship, but it really doesn't, it only hinders because SHACKING-UP in not a committed relationship and does more harm than good. Women more than men tend to suffer greatly when they lower themselves to live with a man without marriage, thinking she has got him and he's going to marry her down the road, only thing... down the road never comes nor does the SHACK-UP end in marriage. And there she's off again SHACKING UP WITH ANOTHER MAN who makes the same uncommitted false promise, and it become a pattern of insecure and a desperate habit to SHACK-UP with every man she meets, just to have a man in a relationship.
Here are some interesting stats on cohabitation "SHACKING-UP" gathered from the U.S. Census Bureau and the latest university studies:
*Living together is considered to be more stressful than being married.
*The average age of cohabiting couples is between 25 and 34
*Just over 50% of first cohabiting couples ever get married.
*If cohabitation is limited to a person's future spouse, there is no elevated risk of divorce.
*In the U.S., cohabiting couples taking premarital education courses or counseling are not at a higher risk for divorce.
* More than eight out of ten couples who live together will break up either before the wedding or afterwards in divorce.
*A Penn State study found that even a month’s cohabitation decreases the quality of the couple’s relationship.
* Children of cohabiting parents are three times as likely to be expelled from school or to get pregnant as teenagers than children from an intact home with married parents.
* Children of cohabiting parents are five times more apt to live in poverty, and 22 times more likely to incarcerated.

What say you? Is SHACKING-UP worth the personal risk of low self-esteem in an uncommitted relationship, right back where you started or worse before you decided to SHACK-UP?

Help me to understand, please...
I honestly don't understand the different between "seeing someone", "dating someone", "being a lover", "being a girlfriend/boyfriend".
Are all those the same just different way to call it? Or if they're different, what's the different between them?
One friend told me once "Ok, I think I'm ready to date again." To which I replied "Are you sure? I thought you're still not over him." And he said "I'm not saying I'm ready to be in relationship, I'm just ready to date again. That's all."
And recently a guy said "I want to be your lover", and when I was stunned not knowing what to answer as I thought we just knew each other, he added "I'm not talking about boyfriend-girlfriend, or marriage, just being lovers, honeymoon forever."
I have no clue. Does anyone have any idea what these are all about and wanna share with me?

Hi eweryone!Could somebody tell me,why the women's always look in the past of man,and don't see the real man in real time!You open your heart to somebody,and he ewen can't appreciate this...I think,that's not fear...And if you don't open your heart in right time,right place,they think,you are not serious interested about them...
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
does it exist still?
or is perfection more important than accepting a person for all or his or her imperfections ?
does perfection even exist though?
