RE: Loneliness vs connecting with someone

Yes, someone to share the good and bad things.

RE: Trust is life

I would find it sad if I felt couldn't trust people.

There is a difference in who I place trust in with important things, but I'm not automatically suspicious of everyone.

There are people I know I can trust, there were people I couldn't trust - it wasn't nice to find out about some of them, but it wasn't the end of the world.

At this stage, I have "my people" I know I can trust and want to have in my life and not too concerned about anyone else.

RE: Yikes!! Am I at the right place?

Glad to hear that Cat,

have loadsa fun!

RE: Change? oo-er.

Biff, I usually dive in once both of us want to give things a go.

It just wasn't possible to do it this time round. I did find it sometimes difficult to not see each other as often as we wanted. We are on the same page though and things are going well.

Think main thing is if 2 people just want something similar and both of you are comfortable how things develop between you.

RE: Yikes!! Am I at the right place?

Don't hold back there Cat.

RE: Yikes!! Am I at the right place?

Not sure if this is the right place but welcome back Cat.

You've been missed.

RE: Change? oo-er.

When I met someone when I was younger, we simply got it together and spend most of our time together.

I was never as long on my own as I was until this year, so I was wondering if it would be more difficult to get used to having someone around. I'm used to lots of time (and diy) on my own, so it's strange to have less time. When we started off, we both were on the same page in what we want, but had little time to spend together - only once a week and I found it hard to built up a connection seeing someone that rarely.

We made it through all of that and spending more time together now - it wasn't a teenage whirlwind but we still can cause quite a stir.

RE: Loneliness vs connecting with someone

I think loneliness is a bad place from where to pick a partner as it can cloud someone's judgement when wanting to connect.

Nothing wrong with wanting to connect with someone, if it's someone that turns out special to you, it's well worth it.

RE: Health kick

I doubt that the willing part is the problem ladies.

RE: Is he into me?

Someone shows you that he cares and wants to be with you be his communication and not some BS he tells you.

RE: Smartphones for dummies

My nieces and nephews are far away, too.

I use smartphones, but I hate the setting up, getting the numbers not on the SIM card onto the new phone but no one to land this task around here.

Don't even get me started on setting up TV receivers for foreign channels.

RE: Hmmmm! So "Txt'ing" is the Secret to Family Commun

Kudos Ed that you got your head around texting.

My mum doesn't text and my best friend doesn't want a smartphone, but can text with the "buttons" on his phone.

It doesn't matter as long as you can keep in contact with them.

RE: I wonder...not another woman blog...lol

I don't get it why people are worried what "society" thinks.

The media does try to promote things, but there isn't a law to take them seriously.

Simply pick a partner you get on with and do your thing.

RE: Te

There are some funny, witty people on here for who CS is entertainment.

Then there are losers that that don't have a life, friends and can't find a partner. You have a couple of them on here, so some things they keep banging on about seems "normal" for them.

Have fun and don't let it bother you.

RE: How Big Pharma's Money Is Affecting Our Health And

These days people can research medication and alternative treatment methods easily on the internet. Some conditions can be treated with lifestyle changes and like GG said, alternative treatments.

I do take the medication I have to and would always check before someone puts me on anything. All I can say is that my doctor told me many years ago to wean myself off an antacid - years before the official recommendation came out.

People have to take more responsibilities for their health and inform themselves about it.

RE: Time flies when you're having fun

Thankfully there are countries were pre-nups are valid (not in Ireland).

No reason for me to marry if I don't want kids and would sign a paper to get me out of the new cohabiting laws. I'm there in every way for someone I'm with, but I'm not intending in financing someone when it's over - and not looking for money.

RE: Time flies when you're having fun

I'm not saying it is right, but I can actually understand it more with someone that is 70 than someone that is our age.

Is it possible that his wife always was a housewife and never had a job? Then she is financially dependent on him.

These days most women had a job before they get kids and if the kid goes to a creche or school, there is time for a job.

If 2 people decided they want a big family and the wife to stay at home with 4 kids+, I'm not sure how this can be managed if she working (childcare alone would cost a ton of money).

If they have been married very short and it's only 1 child, I don't see how someone should pay indefinitely for a marriage of 1, 2 or 3 years.

RE: Time flies when you're having fun

I HATE writing applications as well Biff. But well, it's a necessary evil at times.

You have time from what I'm getting - even if you tell them you would consider relocating, you can keep looking and if you get something else, take that.

You have a quite big city nearby - I couldn't face relocating again. If you like it where you are, a new job is less hassle than a new house.

RE: Time flies when you're having fun

Hiya Biff,

uncertainty isn't good.

Do you want to relocate or get redundancy and a job with another local company?

RE: Rights

I was brought up that with rights came responsibilities.

I have the right to choose the way I want to live and know it is my own responsibility to get there.

RE: Have some dignity

I think you need a thick skin for internet dating.

I didn't have it at the start, but it helps if you get one. Sad but true.

RE: No where to be found???

bella, hope you'll find who you are looking for.

Get out & be happy & you will meet someone.

RE: Have some dignity

Hmmm, have you ever replied with a polite: "No, thanks, not interested" and got abusive mails? Think that is a reason why a lot of people try to avoid confrontations.

I simply would think someone has found another member they are more interested in. I wouldn't find it great if it was someone I had met several times in person, but it wouldn't bother me much if it was only mails.

I found it more annoying if it didn't work out for them & they are trying their luck again months later.

RE: Hi all!! Maybe the video here will help many under

Innocentia

Sands, it is obvious that there is something wrong with a good few people on here. Also, birds of a feather and all of that...

I didn't have a narcissist in my life thankfully, but there are people I simply avoid. Some people never could and never will be able to keep any kind of relationships going and well, their life is their problem.

I keep away from drama and people that are not good for me. Have good ones around thankfully.

RE: thought of tgecday

Hi georgie, hope you and your family are well.

RE: Don't we wish

Funny Shine, and I think this is something everyone can laugh about.

RE: I wonder

Well, obviously they can demand all of this.

Everyone has something they want, it is a completely different thing if someone is able to get it.

The more unrealistic someone is, the more unlikely it is they will meet someone.

Just give them a berth.

RE: lethal as it gets!

Respect

I couldn't love someone I lost respect for him and couldn't stay with someone when I know he wouldn't respect me.

RE: Ever been 'Ghosted'?

Hiya Pogo, was this getting pretty serious with someone they met in RL or just via a dating site and other social media?

If you have been in contact for a while and met someone in RL, I think things like knowing where someone lives and works is normal. In this case ghosting wouldn't really work as someone could turn up on their doorstep.

If it's only virtual, I think not getting in too deep with someone emotionally that you have never met is a good protection.

RE: Perceptions

Would be great to meet you all Biff

I can try to figure out how similar Africans and Dutch is.
