After past relationship failures it has dawned on me what Mother always used to say about taking your time. In my past relationships I was in too much of a hurry to get it on, due to my elevated male testosterone. Well this time around I am going to make sure I develop a best friend through honesty and communication. I want to make sure this time around I find a soul mate I can count on for the rest of my life, I will not rush it again, and through honesty I am hoping to avoid the pitfalls. I would like to hear anyones comments on this. Thanks for reading!
Well, yeah, you've move a bit fast in the past few days, haven't you. But once she is actually with you give her a break. Don't expect to much too soon. Don't expect too much, period. Don't expect. Don't. Let her. Let her decide the agenda. Let her.
Well the whole incident this week left me a little over exposed, that was not my original intentions. But now that's behind us. I have rushed things in the past, I care for her deeply and I would like to protect those feeling by making sure the proper foundation is built. I won't rush it this time, I couldn't help to express my feeling that night. The flood of different emotions has been a moving experience for sure. I care enough about her to do things the old fashioned way!!
Breathe?????? Ah yes, i kinda remember doing that...but lately even that hasn't been on my mind.
Rhythm, I am Ill advised to give advice on this topic, as I am in a whirl wind myself. But I wish you the best of luck. I will say, that when it happens it's the BEST feeling in the world!
Steve I know, I have had the feeling before that is for sure!! I chose the easy path and got burned. I know how to turn on the charm, that is what scares me!! I am going to move at her pace, that seems the easiest way to go from here...... This won't be a dictatorship though I promise that!!!!LOL!!!!!!! I am a firm believer in there is no I in team philosophy.
i totally agree, if you move to fast you will scare her away. Someone who is interested in me at the moment is freaking me out because he is moving to fast, im gonna have to be stern and tell him to back off abit and thats no fun for anyone to do, so just take it slow and talk but dont rush
Did you notice yourself you were getting sidetracked or did she you let you know by the way she talked to you, or her body language? Even if, im glad youre realizing, and that says alot...good luck!
I guess I don't suggest moving either too fast or too slow...move at the pace you're both comfortable with, That's what we've done for sure! I think society kinda puts a time line on love and many other things. I for one, won't allow society to rule my emotions or heart. And yes I agree totally...what a wonderful feeling!
My ex wife was a little red corvette, and I got swept up in it, with a lot of other men I later found out!!!! So, I may have to apply the brakes myself if the car gets going too fast!!!! Yeah Right!!!!!!!! What the hell am I going to do!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!
I got sidetracked when she fell ill a few days back. I was very worried about her and in that pandamonium, I expressed my inner feelings too soon. They are my true feelings for her, i just wish I would have had a different opportunity to express them to her in private. Me and her alone, not the entire forum....
I totally understand about wishing you could have expressed it between you and her alone. Bottom line is, I think, and maybe i'm rambling cuz my head's in the clouds, is that obviously you have those feelings and even though maybe you weren't able to express them in the way that would have been ideal, they were true feelings!
here's another Steveism...lol Sometimes the best thing that ever that could ever be, sits right in front of our face, and all too often we are far sighted, or is it near sighted...lil help here please, but whatever the case, we look right past it. Fortunately I saw it this time!
Steve
am I still on topic? I am not trying to highjack this thread.
No Steve you are helping for sure. I believe inside that she understands about this. There is really little control I had over my emotions at the time. I don't regret expressing my emotions to her, I only wish it could have been different thats all....... Your on topic, you can bend it a little, the fact your head is in the clouds is awesome, don't think by anything I have written I am any different. My head are is the clouds too. But I don't like any clouds I like sunshine!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!
I dunno man, when you're up on that cloud the sun is so much brighter...lol Look, you two will be fine, and don't be too gaurded. I posted in another thread once, and after I re-read it back to myself it actually made sense for once...lol but I wrote: With each relationship you enter in to, there's a chance to get hurt. However if you don't take the risk of getting hurt, you will not have given yourself the chance to love. There was more to it at the time, but that's the jist of it.
Thee are a few couples who are meeting from the forums.
Some of us are aware ( or suspect) these meetings. Out of respect for those people , can we let them keep it to themselves? They will inform us if that is their wish. I don't want anyone to feel exposed or embarrassed.
