vonney: No I dont agree that it is and I find it hard to believe that anyone would allow themselves to be open to that pain.
Well it is all good vonny, if you don't ever open your heart ,then no one can get in, and if you do and they let you down it is on them not me, I always open up for whoever wants me to and for some that don't. As I said it is on them not me, I am the same always.
sassy49senior: John this is an awesome thread my friend. I was hurt by someone not too long ago and I disappeared for awhile. Started focusing more on where my life is going and I thought, how childish a reaction that was. As you stated we all go through some type of hurt in our lives and I just needed to get off my sob pony and back on my trusting horse so to speak. I look at things in a more positive way and I do have expectations and will continue to flower and message at times. I do not consider myself desperate but I do know I enjoy having that male companionship. My journey will just be that much more exciting when we can continue it side by side, hand in hand through the good and not so good times.
Good for you Sassy. I like male companionship also.

druidess6308: Agreed, Claayer. I never shut a door completely, but I'm much more interested in finding someone locally. I'd move even slower in a potential LDR right now because of my current situation. I just can't give the energy to that at this time. Local is easier because you can hang out together and get to know each other in person, and nobody has to give thought to moving real soon.
Yep.. the other thing I always think too (and have mentioned here before).. Is that dating locally.. means you can go on a few dates and see what you think of eachother.
LDR means.. Military precision planning to get it all organised, how long to stay? taking time off work.. all the travelling, all the arrangements and all plans..
Just (really) for an initial few 'dates'..
So.. already.. before you have even MET there has been this huuuuge amount of time and effort invested in to something that 'Locally' would maybe have only been a coffee.
yeps...right now I'm hurting real bad.......too many damn bills in the post....too little cash coming in......
Here you go ,get a few seeds find a good spot add the seeds and some cow sh-t wait a couple two or three months ,harvest ,sell and enjoy X-mas..... How is that?

Exactly. And at the moment, I'm willing and able to invest the time and energy into a coffee, and maybe a walk in the woods, building slowly towards a dinner and/or movie. A slow and gentle journey.
Polarbutterfly: "Oh I've realized how badly it can hurt. And,can you tell me how we as people can avoid getting hurt?If you have the answer,please share it so as not to get hurt again...".
As badly as it can hurt... is also how good it can be! The only way to guarantee not to get hurt is to cut yourself off from the possibility... not an option for me, I would feel I had only half lived my life if I didn´t take chances!

But its not on them is it? It is you that is hurt and you that allowed yourself to be put in the position to be hurt.It may be their actions that cause it but you have to live with it.

Yep... and in an LDR .. you are kind of (both) thrown in 20 jumps ahead of where you SHOULD be.

"Taking a chance on love is worth all the hurt and pain.Life gives you curve balls,it's up to us to figure out if we can withstand these curve balls.Yet,it still hurts. But,being a survivor is who I am. So,the search goes on. All the best to you;nice post."
