Veritaas: Nothing to be gained from sticking the knife in and twisting it the way some people do around here.

Besides making someone laugh is a hell of a lot more fun.


And more therapeutic too.

Natural remedies are generally the best way to heal a problem.

Scalpels have their place in the healing process occasionally, but machetes always do more harm than good.

Would a natural remedy be using a big stick from the forest to bash the heads of others when they just won't agree with you?

If so.. then I've been using natural remedies for years.

Natural is good. Things went awry when technology overtook us and we started lashing rocks onto those sticks. It was all downhill from there. laugh

"get over your stupid mistakes and choices, figure out why you made them and don't do it again." doh


Why are they "stupid mistakes" ?
For me personally, I think had I not made these so called stupid mistakes I would not be where I am in life this very moment. I am happy and thank the people who helped me along the way, it has all been a learning experience...experience being the key word here. Ha ! tongue

Good point! It's only stupid if you do it AGAIN. Inexperience and stupidity aren't the same thing.

Oh, and by the way..... you're quite lovely. Perhaps that has something to do with the barriers I perceive you have erected.

gardenhackle: Seriously. Life has it's ups and downs. You may be exiting a long, horrible relationship. Taking that emotional baggage with you on a date or into a new relationship is a sure turnoff except, perhaps, to someone who's controlling.

If you're still licking your wounds from all the damage done by your past relationship, you're not ready for a new one. Put the past behind you, get over your stupid mistakes and choices, figure out why you made them and don't do it again. But for God's sake, move on. If you want to be happy and meet Mr. Right, then please do. And you need to do it in that order because Mr. Right is probably not going to come along if you aren't happy already.

This isn't about anyone in particular, just about life, in general. PMS is a turnoff (Poor Me Syndrome) and it afflicts men and women equally. Of course, if that's how you feel about life, then by all means, go ahead and communicate it because you need to be upfront and you'll get figured out soon enough if you don't. But if that's not who you really are or how you feel day to day, then.... I'd recommend talking about your hopes, aspirations, interests, fascinations and dreams. You're single. You need to have those things and pursue those things and find someone that won't be a roadblock to those things.

And, of course.... that's just my perspective and advice. It's free, so take it for what it's worth, LOL. :)







Are you absolutely sure that its a woman you want to date? rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

I think it's fair to assume that people don't choose words at random but rather use the words they do for a reason and purpose.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't judge you. Your words, however, are there to be judged and their meaning interpreted. And so I did. At your request, of course.

Oh mr.gardenhackle! blushing your soft
Side is beginning to show through now,
Awwwwww how sweet.

And here I was thinking that your rantings about
How women ought to behave were sounding
Something like an oink oink would say lips

And mr.gardenhackle, in the beginning of this thread
You say "nobody wants to hear about etc etc"

And yet this is what you want,according to your profile

Friendship. Without that, nothing else can pan out long term. It's very, very important that there are common interests, ability to have stimulating discussions, some shared dreams and to be mutually supportive and inspiring.


You mr.gardenhackle are clearly contradicting yourself.
I and Others already understand that REAL friendship comes by
Having respect,but most of all,having compassion
For each others hurts,dreams and inspirations.

Me thinks you need to reconsider what the word "freindship"
Means to you.
peace

I'm sorry. I must have posted the OP in the wrong forum. I thought "dating and relating" was the topic and if my dates spend our time together pouring out pain and suffering, I'm afraid there won't be many dates. As you get serious with someone, you should, of course share concerns and intimate feelings which include fears and disappointments. But I consider that to be somewhere past the "dating" phase. First things first... you have to see if you actually like each other. As intimacy develops, so do the depth of discussions.

And, of course, Pixie, my love, if you feel that pouring out your anguish is a great ice breaking strategy, please don't let me discourage you. I'm just saying it doesn't work well with anyone I've known. It's one of the things that are regularly considered a good recipe for a really bad date.

OK... I've reconsidered what "friendship" means. It means knowing all about you and liking you, anyway. And it also means being honest.... so, honestly... I think the "oh my heart has been broken so many times" routine is bad form for dates. So there we are. We've been honest with each other. Thank you for sharing. :)
