This is baised showing no sign of allowing exceptions, as if there are no humans left who have true compassion for others. Maybe you have been looking at the wrong people. There really are good people in this world. The bad people either corrupt them or oppress them. Since they are not evil enough to make up lies, embellish stories and fight til the death.. they tend to shy away, being the gentle hearted souls that they are.
From giving beds away to clothing to food, even my own son has learned the art of giving. The one thing that has hurt me the most is that most of the very same people I have helped have turned out to be unappreciative and cold. Many come back for more over and over again until you realize that they are just using you and do not care one bit. That kind of hurts. It can also make people shy away.
What can I do to stop slaughtering of peoples? What power do I have? I don't know about others but I myself feel helpless with that.
(I will not be coming back to read comments after the fact. I have no need for other peoples opinions, they are usually hurtful).
Lol Paul, maybe I will age fast too. Do you think I will catch up to you?
I was in Pensicola, Florida the day I turned 37. There were two ladies running the desk at a conveient store nearby. Each had their own cash register. I went to the one on the left because there was this guy with two cases of beer to the right. The woman asked me for my ID for cigarettes and I laughed and said I was probably older than her. She gave me a smile but her eyes said "yeah right". When she looked at my ID I smiled and said "how many years older am I" she smiled and said "4" and wished me a happy birthday. I told her thank you, that was a nice birthday present and gave her a beaming smile. She then told me that they have to card people who look near the age of 30. The man with the beer said "hey, I dont know how to feel about that. I am 30 and I didnt get carded". We all laughed.
I said I would never use a dating site but I did. I came to Cs in hopes of finding someone who is right for me. Most of the men in my area are not my type. All the good ones are taken :)
After a month or so on this site... I met someone here from Spain that I liked very much but he turned out to be the type who liked several other ladies. It was a good thing I found out before I actually went to Spain. Then I met another man online I liked who lived in Sweden but the story about his deceased wife disturbed me. He was too loud for me as well. During this mishap I nearly lost hope.
I left this site for a little while. When I came back I met a man who I could have liked but realized that we really had nothing to talk about. That is not a good sign. I then decided to give up searching for "love".
Just recently I was going to delete my account when... I got this message from an interesting screen name. I became curious and read his profile. I wrote to him and told him I was going to leave the site and that I hope he found someone who will make his heart feel like sunshine. He asked me not to leave in such a nice way and so... I stayed.
Here I am thankful he asked me to stay because the more I get to know him the more I realize I really like him.. a lot. It is too soon to tell really but I shall live in the moment and give hope another try.
I wish the best of luck to all of you who are serious about finding love.
I am in Arkansas. We always get tornadoes here around this time of year. We do have the tornado warning systems. I do not believe they are loud enough. Sometimes I have not even heard it. I have also seen people not take the warnings seriously enough. This tornado was bad. Sadly, there were 18 casualties in all. Sixteen people died in Mayflower, Arkansas and two people died in Vilonia, Oklahoma.
My heart goes out to the families who have lost their loved ones. May they rest in peace.
Your welcome. I love many different types flowers but the roses are my favorite. I grew up watching my grandmother grow different kinds of roses from bushes to the vine, even cross breeding them to make them multicolored... hybrids. Such as crossing a white rose with a pink rose resulting in white roses with pink tips.
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" William Shakespeare (1564–1616) Romeo and Juliet Act II. Scene II.
[Virgosingle, is this your gentle way of responding to someone in "love"? Then stay with your beans..!!] It is been my experience that when a man mentions food he is hungry... maybe he is always hungry? lol. (I concur with her comment about Virgo being a little too much when some things require a more tender approach)
She must love him to have that longing feeling <3 It is very normal to feel sad when you do not hear from the one that you love. I just hope for her sake that he loves her too.
I had the same problem you had once upon a time except my family did not know him. I think that because this man you know is closer that it makes it much harder to shake him.
Since your family knows this man I suggest talking to your family and friends if he knows them about him and letting them know what you have let us know here. This might help you in your transition to make him stop.
Your next move would be to be stern with this man and tell him you are uncomfortable because of his pressuring and you can no longer talk to him anymore. Then say good bye.
After you do this you MUST NOT GIVE IN! If he writes do not even open it. If he calls do not answer. The ONLY way to make it stop is to stop communications altogether. He is not respecting YOUR feelings. I commend you on your patience. You must be a very good woman to be so kind. He is taking advantage of your soft side.
I know how it feels and I feel badly for you. It is difficult to do these things when one does not like to hurt people.
I have considered going with out pictures on Connecting Singles. Why you might ask? My two reasons are...
1. People who are local might see me out and approach me which is not okay. Especially if I am with my son.
2. People keep judging people according to how they look. I have to have some sort of attraction but I am not so interested in looks to that degree. The men who write to you for the first time, they want to say things like "hey gorgeous" or "hey you look hot" Yes I know they are trying to give a compliment but a good compliment will have something to do with personality, intellect, style or maybe something about things they have written in their profile or in a blog.
I am 44 years old and I have never lied about my age. However, I have met men who have lied about their age. The first time that happened I laughed because I never knew men did that.
I have a question... why do men call grown women "girl"?...
Congratulations!! It is good to see that some people really are serious a bout finding love and really do want to get married. Some of us here are looking for the very same thing. It is encouraging to see couples who do go that extra mile to make it happen. I wish you both the best in life and in love
Thank you for the nice comments and compliments. I am just an average female with an average life, I am not as tolerant as that man was. The man in the story above passed away many years ago. I hold onto this memory because people are changing and it doesn't seem for the better. People are putting too much value on the material things and not enough on humanity. People like this man in this story used to be abundant. These days they do not cross my path often. When they do I can feel them.
