Wineman42: If I say what you are they will cut me from this site so grow up A------e
There really is no point in starting an argument on the thread. I believe you were hurt and are venting here and believe it was the right thing to do at the time. Maybe just let this die a natural death
joyaepace: True of what? What are you thinking after just flirting with a woman? Get to know her better and then see whether or not she is true in her feelings.
Actually, I read about one study that learned that men, when facing very attractive women, are for some reason convinced that she is attracted to him too. And the more attractive the woman, the more convinced the man that she likes him. It had nothing to do with women, it all was in man's head!
Wineman42: 4 months of e-mails and phone calls from her
And then you met and it did not work? Ah, well, we all try and fail sometimes. Men, women, no difference. Therefore it is better not to have great expectations too early, especially when you have relationship over the internet. If we don't have great expectations, we can not be disappointed, right? But it is easier said than done, I understand that.
That pretty much sums it up, but without allowing someone the chance to, taking the risk, trying, then where does that leave you?
Sure it hurts, every time it happens, and you try again, or don't. The choice is up to each and every one of us, whether we go for what would make us happy, or just give up.
Sorry to hear you are hurting. There is nothing to be said, at this time, that would not convince you that not all women are the same. I do hope though, that with time you will heal.

I know I'm not done yet. Hiya Leo.
When I say, we allow them to do it, it's not that we have much choice. We're hard wired that way.
Wineman42: Seen many that flirt and make you believe they are true then rip your heart out? WHY ????
We are the ones who are in control of our hearts and we allow others to break them when we have expectations of love when it perhaps is not there. Hence taking the time to get to know people is vital and guarding your heart before even contemplating that you have fallen in love with another (whether it be a man or a woman). Yes, its not always an easy lesson to learn, and I've had some major scars on my own heart, but what I've learned from the past is that I'm only hurt when I allow it to happen.
It sounds like you need to take less of a trusting attitude and get to know someone further over a longer period of time before allowing your heart to love. Love can indeed be wonderful - but its also about finding a worthy person to share it with.

Guearding your heart, less trusting, allowing your heart to love?

I think you got off lucky, though your healing has just begun.
I've had my heart ripped out, then spat upon, stomped on, burned to a chard crisp, chopped into tiny little pieces and discarded like an unwanted worn-out shoe. I picked up the pieces and realized that it was still ticking, still holding love--so I nurtured it, protected it from being harmed like that again, while all the time believing that there is a good woman out there that will loveingly take my heart and cherish it. I will find her and who knows...Maybe her heart was treated just the same as mine was.
