Ambrose2007: Just shows you have half a brain, JB.

One way to look at it is that we really don't remain the same person over time, so at various junctures in our lives we may have the opportunity, as a different person, to make choices that are different from ones that led to failures in the past. Therein lies the possibility that we may find love even if it has eluded us in the past.

The key point being, of course, that we are different in ways that permit success.


Great point Jeff...handshake

That is crucial... it´s funny but back when i did have a lot of opportunities with men, I had no girl friends and had difficulty relating to other women.

Now I get along really well with other women and have made some fantastic girl friends... but the opportunities with men seem to have dried up....

Wonder if there´s any correlation?

Always good to hear from you Jeff kiss

jbibiza: Please elaborate Al.... I´m not sure what you mean....


I mean we emotionally detach long before we walk.

AND

kind of what Jeff has said, life changes daily, feelings and sentiment change right along with it, so we're essentially walking out on the person we were when we fell in love, rather than trying to recapture who we were then. Love seems easier to fall into I guess with a new person dunno , than how it feels to 'have to' reignite the flames with the one youre with.

Maybe we just get feeling like, its been a long hard struggle and at least the possibility of 'new' love would recapture the feeling since it seems apparent that the present relationship is going no where. I think we abdicate our own responsiblity, walk away from it, in favour of what seems an easier route with someone new; only to find its essentially the same effort that's needed to fire love and passion where you are ...

hmmm Well, this seems to be a good example of being different, JB. Something definitely has changed about you now - you can relate to women far better than in the past. Maybe that means your balance has shifted in a healthy way in how you relate to people...which just might mean you're ready for that "great love"? Stranger things have happened!laugh hug

Isn't that Crosby, Stills, and Nash, AL?confused wave

I think you may have hit on something key here. People who are "falling in love addicts" - that is, people who are in love with being in love but really aren't able to sustain it for whatever reasons - will eventually, I think, begin to burn out on the process...perhaps may come to believe that their opportunities are running out for true love.

These poor people are, in my view, chasing a chimera of love...and they'll no more be able to capture it than they'll be able to finally seize the gold at the end of the rainbow (if you'll forgive the mixed metaphorlaugh)

I agree.

It may seem odd and bit of an epiphany for some Jeff; but, a great deal of people on singles sites, myself included are past 'walkers' ...something about our relationships, without finding blame has resulted in our walking. Does it become habit? I'm sure your recent readings would say so; but, I also think as you pointed out earlier, for some the epiphany comes, awareness invades and there is a possibility to right the ship. Too late may be an issue as well, because it seems more difficult to find someone when the majority are 'walkers' who may not have seen the light. dunno

Obsessions limit. And unless I'm wrong, the limiitations we have that we don't see in ourselves will steer our ships inadvertantly. Becoming aware is key to change and to expanding our horizons.

I woked up!! eeeeeek!

cheers wave

I guess the only limit we can really think about it is how many we limit ourself too, cuz odds are pretty good in everyone's favor we just got to take the blinders off to people we never consider for a possibility in love...
