Like food, all relationships have a sell-by date.

Relationships started way back when the average life-expectancy would have been only 25-40 years of age.
So a lifetime commitment to a relationship wasn't quite so long, 10-15 years if you were very lucky.

Fast forward to the 21st century where people are living happily into their 90s, is it really reasonable to expect a lifetime commitment of 60+ years?

As with all things, there are exceptions in food too. Honey will last indefinitely but even that can crystallise and look a bit shabby. It takes a bit of hot stuff to bring it back again.
Some relationships also stand the test of time, but when they crystallise, somebody needs to be there,and willing, to apply that fix to make it gleam again.

Other foods you do keep forever, much past their sell-by date. But they grow dusty in the back of the cupboard as you don't want to get rid of them, but are not actively using them either. It is better to just clear out the cupboard and start afresh.

With all foods, it is better to enjoy them when they are fresh, and not try to hold on to them as they grow musty and dusty.

The sweetest food is often the one with the shortest lifespan. Think cupcakes

So, for 2018, maybe we should stop thinking longterm, and getting disappointed when they go sour, and just enjoy the sweetness of a relationship for however long it lasts.

One beautiful fresh cupcake will always be tastier than the dusty cans in the back of the cupboard.

Carpe diem.

Contrasting are colors
So are we with fractures of light
Love - hate are just 2 sides
Of knife that cuts my mind sharply

Everybody hurts sometimes................

A married man finds birth control pills in his wife's drawer...
However, he had a vasectomy a few years before they were married.

Is that a reason to be suspicious?

I’m far from being an expert on what impresses women, but, over the years, I’ve picked up a little knowledge of what doesn’t. Maybe I’ve even got misconceptions about that in some cases where I’ve been the victim of a double bluff. As naive as I may still be, I’ve certainly come a long way since my teens when I thought that motorbikes with very loud exhaust pipes worked like an aphrodisiac. Then, when I got a bit older, I remember having to shed my belief that having a thorough knowledge of standard timber sizes and the relative merits of hard and soft wood made me irresistible to the opposite sex.

I don’t think we ever get too old to stop making prats of ourselves by barking up the wrong tree when trying to show off, so I’m always eager to learn what other misapprehensions I might need to get rid of.

Suggestions welcome.

Guys,

To catch those scammers, you can tell them to do camera .... face to face with them. If they do not want, then you need to tell him / her " good bye " .... which they are very much scammers. This is my trick ....

Everyone says oh I AM honest oh I WANT honest.

You meet a guy, he says he is taken (honest) but keeps flirting with you. You think maybe you would like a little adventure, no strings, noone gets hurt. A once-off bit of naughty fun, but see how honest he really is, tell him you would like to meet but you want it to be ongoing. A LIAR says sure, I want that too.

What does an honest man do. Change the subject rather than lie?

Or say no, I like flirting but I really am taken.

Or say no promises, play it by ear, lets see how it goes for repeats

Or say listen I just want sex. I dont care who.





Honesty? An honest man doesnt cheat on his woman. You want honesty, but actually your a cheat too.

This rush of blogs about the change in layout got me to wondering why so many of us resist change. And what will we do if we meet someone? Because that would be change, for sure.

So this is a question for those actually looking to meet someone (because yes, some are here just for the virtual equivalent of Cheers, where everyone knows your name) (Norm!)

Would you be looking for a slow adjustment - meeting every other Thursday for coffee, then slowly slowly stepping that up to other outings, plus an occasional takeaway at his, or a home-cooked meal at yours (or of course the other way round) until a year or two down the line you suddenly realize you're spending more time together than apart?

Or a sudden whirlwind, swept off your feet, blown out of your quiet life into a thrilling breathless gasping new world?

Or something like a long-distance relationship, where you have the whirlwind weekends but the peace and quiet of your familiar life in between?

Or just waiting with interest to see what life has in store ...

For me, perhaps the last option. Just wondered if anyone else had thought it through a bit more.

Why are most men that decide to mail me here are from Ireland?
I don't expect them to be from Spain as most live far away, so why Ireland, and not England, France, Netherlands or anywhere else.

Are the Irish looking for an exciting/ cheap holiday in Spain, with a sexy guide? Or just want to write, but then they are not great writers either, most saying, Hello, good morning sexy..
