How often do a meet someone, and within a couple of months, ur in for a rude awakening.

It comes at a price, of ur believing in mankind. (null & void till the next attraction)

I have been shocked to many times already, that I should be immune by now, and I'm not.

U never become immune !

U don't realy learn from ur lessons either !

--> How do u cope with this type of situation, and still feel proud of urself after the event ?

Kattte: Most people seem to like "Humankind"; its the people that many can't stand.
The surest way to stay alone is to get married...which is, in the end, only a souvenir of what was once love, love being the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Life is too important to be taken seriously, so try and enjoy it before you find the meaning of life which is that it ends...


I like that laugh

cheers

Maybe you should listen to the song "Love On The Rocks" sung by Neil Diamond.

I just finished listening to it.It's a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics.

The last time I met someone from online, we end up to a bar and I spent the night stopping her from fighting everyone who looked in my direction.

Grouchyoldfart: I don't know about love on the rocks but I'll have a perfect manhattan on the rocks with a splash please . . . . . .


PS: This is usually a temporary cure for the above condition ! . . .


I'm referring to past experiences.
I dont exactly drink so alcohol does not help me, but I know most people use this temporary cure, till u wake up, remember, and then need the cure immediately again, and so it continues !

One2note: It takes a couple of months before someone's true colours are revealed.
Maybe there's a problem with you, or you're a bad judge of character .

I believe in the good of people !
When I find that they r not, it's a rude awakening !

I always explain to my students, if they keep failing exams, stop blaming the text books, teachers or classmates, instead, try changing the way you study, look at different ways to learn the subject and then success is more likely to happen.

You get out, what you put in.

SNOOKY....

Life is one big learning curve and you should learn the lessons... why aren't you?

Men & women meet, lights flash & sparks fly. For some, this is an instant gratification thing. That novelty wears off... and they're gone. A little later they often realise what an awesome person you were... and live a life of regrets.

It takes time... If the two of you can stick together for 21 months, you've pretty well got it made.

With me, it's 12 months... then primary decision time. No way is anything going to happen, ring on finger etc... until 21 months.

Of course you don't become immune to relationship crashes...you have given your heart to someone (maybe), only to have it shredded?

So, you leave with a grieving heart, thinking about what could have been, but eventually wasn't.

I reckon there's a few grieving hearts you've left in your time! ?

HexagonKeySet: It's a double edged sword - those who become immune become inhuman to the same degree as they achieve immunity !

Those who get to where they don;t care are impossible to care for ...


I like ur attitude !

I've only had one broken heart, and the relationship lasted +/- 8 years. It either works or not.

Oh don't worry, it doesn't matter if it's on here or with someone you see daily. Bad people are everywhere so don't beat yourself up about it. Just don't settle for something you don't want. If you aren't comfortable in anyway trust that instinct and run do not walk. You will get there no worries.
