besides saying "that sucks?"

let me share this, I danced with 3 strange women, ( strange meaning I did not know their names.) even after trhe dances

i struck out for 1 reason ( MO), honesty....
it's sad when others before you left such a bad impression that regardless of who y9u are you are prejugded....by a past encounter (s).

here is the question... how does one... when does one decide what is past is past?

or probably the most important question is why should I thinmk it'll be different with them?

Sorry that it didn't go well for you hon...

To answer your questions...when your heart is ready to trust again...it will...if you don't take the chance, you will never know what could have been.

Hope this helps some...it may take a few days to sink in though...it did for me after it was pounded into my head by so many here on CS....laugh

You just liked the part about me getting it POUNDED INTO MY HEAD....rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Honestly though...if it wasn't for the advice that I was given by some of my wonderful friends here on CS...I would not have taken a chance again...I am not saying that I have found "the one"...but things are moving in a good direction for me at the moment with someone...time will tell...I just have to allow things to flow...that was the hardest part for me.

I think it differs from person - person. I personally try to leave my past in my past everytime I enter into a new interest. Not everyone can trust like me and as much as me.

The way I see it, yes, I may get burnt, but I'd rather get burnt trusting someone, than to have possibly excluded someone in my life for having not trusted them.

Sounds to me like you need more time to heal, and you may never do so completely. Investing time, effort, and mostly your heart is a scary thing but unless you try you may never succeed. cheers

The way I see it is, just, when I'm 90yrs old, and rocking on my chair on the front porch, I'd hate to look back with regret knowing that I could have found the one true love of a lifetime, all because I let my insecurities of the past get the better of me, and never gave that possible one to that could have fullfilled my life w/ love & completion a chance.

drinking because individuals are different, thus altering the outcome or goings on when 2 worlds collide.

Sounds like you revealed too much to these women. Honesty is not necessarily the best policy when it is no one's business. Your past relationships are between you and those past women. They should not color today. Nor should they be discussed within newly formed meetings. It's not their business. Later on in relationships, when feelings are formed, then chatting about your past is okay. Don't feel like you have to tell all right off the bat. You don't.

As far as time heals all wounds, I don't believe that for a moment.roll eyes jmo

That is pretty much what I was told by many others from CS...if it wasn't for them (and I think you were one of them) I wouldn't have taken the chance and allowed myself to start dating again...then I wouldn't be with someone right now...it is very early to say much about him...but things are going well at the moment...

Many of you have already said that your heart will know. I do believe that to be true, but somewhere along the line you have to just breathe and take a leap. You just never know what the future holds. There is a saying that I have came across several times it is something like this ... "I build walls around me not to keep people out, but to see who might decide to climb over them"

thumbs up Definately agree, always leaves a sense of apprehension w/ future relationships to a degree.

however, imo, its how we deal w/ those apprehensions that helps or hurts us.

ya see, one word heah sticks out like a virgin in times squayah-honesty. ya might as well justa put onna dress and hung round a sailors bar than try ta nail some broad using honesty.
see, most dames ain't used to it, it confuses em when some guy starts actin all sensitive, talkin about their feelins and tampons and stuff. so, it's likely them broads just thought you was some kinda freaky lesbian an that's why ya didn't get none.
ya gottsta play it smart, use ya head. yar inna bar an there's alcohol there right? well then, just pour drink down their throats an stick ya hand uppa their skirt. see, be smart, keep it simple. an hey, who knows, mebbes next time ya can get all three broads loaded and make a movie or sumthin

I agree...I want someone special rocking right beside me....so I have been willing to deal with all that has prevented me inside myself from just going for it...and I feel much freer and open to the idea with no fears at all now...I was in my own way and just got out of it.....wave wink hug teddybear hug bouquet
