I've always been very honest and opened in most of my past relationships, including when I met my ex, 16 years ago. Being divorced and back on the dating world is a completely new world. Being true and open these days for a guy means most likely ending up alone. Being confortable and happy with someone you just met a few weeks ago is ok as long as you keep it to yourself. Several times, I made the mistake to be honest and tell her how much I enjoyed her company and was happy to have met her (not even 'LOVE' talk here.) This was enough to trigger the 'independence' reaction and get her to give me the silent treatment and to ignore a few of my calls. What's wrong with the communication? What's wrong with being honest with others or ourself? Why is there so many people affraid of falling in love? Isn't it the thrill, the high, the excitment worst it. How would one find his/her true love if he/she never tries falling in love several times. Yes, it needs to work both ways, but if nobody wants to take a chance, it will never happen.
So let me ask you, why are you all so scared to fall in love?

Now that we heard from a player let me say I'm not afraid to fall in love and find happiness.I am not even afraid of getting hurt.I am just taking my time.Is that so wrong? i dont declare my love because I screw someone or got a flower.please.
By the way, you ok down there in Fla? Hope so. God Speed to those who got damage and bad news. I am always praying for Fla., they always get all the brunt of the storms.
I think most people are afraid of getting hurt. But that is the problem, cause in order to get things in life you gotta take a chance. So people need to face their fears and take a chance at happiness.
Most people fear the unknown,those who have truly experienced "true love" should welcome it for how it makes you feel,love of any kind is a good thing,now this is just my opion ofcourse. Everything we do on a daily basis has risk,so why would love be any diffrent,its not.
Risks and chancing... Yes, indeed. You remember back when you're young and so full of ideals...And, you think, well why can't it be that easy now? It is, you just don't remember taking the risks...we all have, and should continue, I feel. We grow, learn from our own mistakes (takes two, even in the worst cases)...Hopefully not repeat them... Our hearts are tougher than we think. I have learn that not just in life, but since being here at CS, too. Communication is essential, and we all sat it, but that is the biggest gap in all relationships I've read about, heard, been in. Maybe the other person does not know how, or iss unwilling. Then, what is the point?
Take the chance. Risk it. What do you have to lose, really? Not talking harm, and danger, of course we look out forthat. I'm talking in general.
If you take the chance, risk that you may not end up with what you need, then take another...Life iss o full of risk everyday...Why not chance you'll share it with someone else?
It's the falling part I think. Mixed messages, fear, lies. I think girls tend to fall before guys...maybe I don't know what I'm talkin about, but I've been played time and time again. This time I'm takin my time, tryin not to fall fast and hard. When and if I fall I want it to be with my best friend. That one person who knows all about me and can deal with my baggage. Doesn't judge me, can make me laugh and can't wait to see each other when we get off work. I don't think LOVE has anything to do with money, possesions and so on. It seems to me that's what most are lookin for. I wanna know what happened to time? Spending time together, laughing, takin walks, holden hands. I'm sayin slow down and take your time, good things come to those who wait. Yea were all lonely at times and wish we had someone. That's why the divorce rate is so high. People jump into relationships so fast, don't think about what they're doin just tired of bein alone. People now are just disposable. I don't want to be disposable any more. I want the real thing. If I wait, I'll find what I'm lookin for.....until then, lol there's always the frogs.
I think the reason most people are afraid to fall in love is because every time you do and it fails you lose a little more of yourself. At least that's how I've been feeling lately.
