I know we all kid alot on here...and some of it is just "kidding" to hide what you're really feeling inside...
I am just wondering...have we become beggars and not choosers in the dating ritual because we just so desperately want someone to share our lives with? Are we compromising ourselves in any way to have it all...becoming too romatically involved too soon? Are we looking to another person to "find" and "define" who we are?
I am not speaking of myself, nor of anyone else in particular here...just wondering what you think of what i've said here...are you noticing a "trend" around you?
I can only speak for myself and not others.....But no I have not, nor do I ever intend to compromise myself!!!!!!
I have waited over 4 years for the right man to come along and I have no intention of settling now and I would never let anyone define me either!!!!
I like who I am and I know that the man for me will love who I am just as much..otherwise he wouldnt be the right man for me!!!!!
I do agree however that yes there are probably some that jump in too quick romatically...just to have someone in their life and those relationships obviously end quickly and usually on a bad note!!!!!
I know who I am. I would like to know a woman for who she is. Combine our wants and needs, and be happy together. But at this point in my life I doubt that this will happen. I'm fine with this. It's life. I've had a good run for my money. Enough experiences to last two lifetimes. There are so many wonderful women on this site that are by circumstance, unattainable. So I will flirt and have my ego fed. I will dream as well. The old cliché, "When you least expect it....", is just that, a cliché for wishful thinking. When you least expect it, you may acquire a deadly disease as well.
As Assets says in her headline, "Wow online shopping for........". So we remain doing what we're doing here and as some have found, it works. Paws
i believe there is a bit of begging in all of us but not nescesarily begging to be with one in particular just to be with the one its basic human nature to want to share your life with someone i really think i have done a bit of pleading myself
I think we do play quite a lot here, but I really feel that within the playing and kidding about we are beginning to find new friends and from there Hopefully something special may come from it.
But even if that does not happen, Just look at what has happened so far, a fantastic group of people having a laugh and sharing stories of sadness and happiness, yes very playful at times but if we smile just a couple of times a day by what others say or do,,,,,,,,,,
It brings out the good in us all, and somewhere here it will count and be treasured for ever....................
Sorry I missed this thread first time around. Thanks for bringing it back up. Your threads are awesome. I remember hearing that beggars can't be choosers growing up. I think a person can choose who they want to beg from. I think a person can choose not to beg. How come this question wasn't posted a year ago, huh? I would have probably missed it then, too, lol. Romantically involved too soon. Thanks that explains my first marriage. Oh, man did I compromise. I still don't like humble pie, lol. Good luck to anyone who thinks they could find and define me, lol. Sorry I had trouble with that question. I guess it is because I think I should find and define myself. I might not be satisfied with someone else's definition of me. Someone finding me now that sounds interesting. I think the trend is keep a comfortable distance, in other words, lets just get close to keep it entertaining but far enough away so that we can stay comfortably numb and alone. I know I have been my worst enemy and friend many times.
