Good for you! I am impressed since men are said to be "visual" I am assuming the that you wouldn't mind dating a woman who is overweight and not physically appealing to you as long as she possess "inner beauty" right??
This is true life and love require a fine balancing act in order to stay healthy and in allowing others to give to us we can then in turn help them better. I need to remind myself of this.
Tiger, I wouldn't have it any other way! Real friends, real love and a real great life
Frank , You guys had a party and did not invite me? You know what that means don't you? You owe both me and Swiss some free drinks (the fancy ones with the ice cubes shaped like diamonds ) along with some gourmet party favors
A good way to make a decision is also to ask yourself if the fact that you would call him your "boyfriend" would then lead him to become exclusive with you.
Everyone is different but You do not want to jump into something that may be only one sided. Clarity is important.
Words can have so many different meanings to different people. when a man says that you are his girlfriend ...he has not said specifically that he wants to be exclusive right? So I would take as just that. when and if he is clear then I would take it more seriously.
In my opinion exclusivity is not about mere words or signing of a document rather it is based on trust and a deep connection which goes way beyond physical . Establishing trust on both sides takes time and sometimes it just never happens but whatever the case both parties should feel the same level of comfort with that move onto to the next level of their relationship and should also be honest with themselves.
Men like beauty but they do not like to admit they like beauty because it seems well.......shallow not to mention they feel that it gives a beautiful woman power if she knows that it is that important to him therefore SOME not all men will say that a woman's beauty is not important to them...that is until a female who is built like a bric house walks by wearing almost nothing shaking her yang yang and he is caught drooling on his new tie
Unfortunately most men are intrigued and some are even obsessive about "visual beauty" and yet they seldom respect it or actually love it. All you have to do is look at what man has done to this planet and the beautiful natural resources and natural priceless treasures like pure, clear water, fresh clean air....man has admired it yes, but then what has he done with it??? He has used it , violated it, polluted it and disrespected it to the point that it has now become endangered......kind of like LOVE and a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
I have two teens and I can tell you that dating for young people now is not harder...it is just very different. I see it as almost like a "drive through fast food restaurant" my kids laugh when I say that Basically, you "order" what you want and then you" hook up" and just "hang out" ...sometimes but you don't really want to get too attached because "emotional attachment" is too complicated and takes up too much time
I was not trying to judge the woman with shaky hands ...I was merely trying to state that she may prefer to not be this way if she had the choice. not that she is unhappy or miserable...thats all.
Just moments that I have. I don't get depressed or anything like that, I just get into these deep thoughts now and then but I do enjoy life and I have a very positive side to me. It doesn't mean that I don't also have a sensitive ,deep side.
Of course i'm not the right person. We all have our issues and there is no such thing as "a perfect match"
The questions to ask ourselves in my opinion would be : What am I willing to give up or put up with in exchange for the benefits of companionship and what are my priorities?
search, Yes, lets stand united. you articulate your thoughts well and like you, I too enjoy writing. Sometimes its about nothing important ...just thoughts going through my mind but it does make me feel better to "put it out there" the good, the not so good and even the wild and crazy sometimes.......
RE: Love and the meaning.
Now , now lets be careful not to say any "bad things" about men or we will be labeled "man haters"
