no matter what ppl say about always creating your own happiness.. i believe there is a empty space that only that special someone can fulfill. we r social beings, we need contact with others and love.
i was very scared after i had some surgery, but ended up laughing so much when they gave me something to calm me down before entering the surgery room. then i just remember breathing through a mask and woke up, no problems.
hope your surgery goes ok. i have spoken to a few people about the surgery you mentioned you were gonna get in a previous blog and one girl had great results. sometimes the worst part is the worrying before hand
unfortunately it happens when you meet new people. there are far too many reasons why something like this happened to you, and to try and figure it out is pointless. yes it would have been nice for her to explain why she stopped contacting you. but the big picture is that she does not want to talk to you for her own reasons. you don't want someone that treats you like that. so better to find someone that satisfies your needs. good luck.
you can express your concerns and thoughts, but you can never change someone. u have to decide if what he has to offer is what you are willing to settle for.. if not, it is probably best to search for someone else that is more of your match. good luck
i think if you really want to give her a gift.. wait till you are on your date and when if there are shops at the beach, maybe offering her to get her something she seems to find nice. picking it out together seems more romantic i think. on a first date, getting a gift before the date seems a bit much, since i am assuming this is the first time u are meeting in person?
sarasvathy, people do all kinds of things that don't make sense. it will drive you crazy to try to figure out why a stranger didn't follow a protocal u feel is common sense. better to just let it go and accept this kind of behavior happens.
Pippa: True I can see your point.. however since it turned out where u had to say sorry to him, this tells me that obviously the result of your tactless behavior needed an apology in order for him to be friends with you again.. all i am saying is maybe it is better to learn from a challenging situation, and see how u can improve your communication skills.. you can still be assertive and upfront, but in a more tactful way, if u choose.
be careful though cause after a while, even "sorry" won't have the same impact if the other person is repeatedly tactless. but good to know it worked this time!
