You must forget Crocodile once and for all. He's not available and you will never find someone exactly like him.
Move on by socializing and forgetting your obsession. Then guess what? Your eyes open up and standing right before you is a man that loves you and you love him.
Your psychological blinders are the blinders you refuse to remove by clinging to Crocodile's image.
It's like everything else that is no one's business. It doesn't matter what you do as long as you obey the law. And I am referring to legal laws and especially to God's law.
And the last time I heard anything about so called "gold diggers" there was no law against looking for a rich spouse.
If God would change you to a man for one week at the end of 7 days your question would be surely be, "Someone please help me understand the female species"
It seems like your friend has this man figured out. She is doing right in not contacting him first. The reason I say these things is that by looking at other women he is in fact advertising himself as "available to other women". It also appears that he is interested more in her money and because of that he is a cheap skate.
Tell your friend to stay in it for the friendship only and to get away if he starts pressing her "for more"!!!! But not more than that. She would be able to find someone who is also educated and a man when it comes to doing his part in a relationship.
Believe me. Nothing has changed. Marriage and relationships have always been the same. Movies are not real life and a book is the story of ONE relationship.
Some people don't need a long courtship, some don't need any and some need a long courtship. A marriage will last if you are equally yoked.
Just like 2 oxen pulling a plow yoked side by side. If you had a different animal yoked along side one ox then they would pull differently. A marriage needs equal pull when you "plow"!!
Priscilla broke up with me when I was 18 and Martha broke up with me when I was 34. After the Martha "episode" I made up my mind that a broken relationship would never bother me again. I just moved on.
Does it hurt more. I don't know but I would guess not!
Just be yourself and things will settle in for you. Instead of looking for a GF on the blogs get on search and do your "work" there. When you open yourself like you did in a blog your asking for a lot of lip from people.
this was a hard family to get along with. That's why I was amazed that it took old age to make them settle down and quit being so pushy and big billies! Hee Hee
RE: When you believe...
I'm sure it was the prayer and calling out to God that made the troops victorious. The 2 headed coin? NAWWWW!
