Non-controlling... Win me over... You sound so sure.
Well I would respect a guy who values his freedom. Because I have no intentions in controlling his life for him. Men who know what they want to do is always desirable than pleasers..
I remember one particular guy told me "why are you so afraid of love?" I didn't get him. I told him, "just because I don't see you romantically, doesn't mean I'm scared." But maybe he was right. I just didn't give it a real thought before. Maybe I'm scared. But I think, most fear come from the thought of losing freedom and control.
@Happy and Leo I didnt know the flood was in Cambodia. Leo, get the first flight and look for her there.. Only to end up sleeping in the haystack alone.
Happy, actually, that's what I always tell them. "I'm still young, I have other things I want more." But they'd tell me "say that when you've forgotten to take care bout that and you're 40." It also made me think. What if I enjoy too much and forget about this certain department of my life? I said, so what I know a lot of women in their 40s and single.. But they'd always come up with something to tell me that'd make me think.. Friends...
Oh dear Ed! Our friends always know that one subject to annoy us. Yes, as you've said, "I think I will leave it to my heart to let me know when I see the right guy!" I'm still to meet that person who would make breathing seem like the most difficult task. I just hope that when that time comes, I'd be ready. Thank you!
Ken, I was not very nice before. I was different than I am now. One of them friends noticed that I shut up about it so she'd tell everyone to leave it.. But some just don't. Some kind of teasing I guess. I have never set any lines for topics to them because I always felt that it was ok to discuss anything with them. I just shut up whenever I don't feel like sharing.. But yes, drawing the line would be a good start, for now I've become more different..
Good thing about them though, they've always been so accepting and supportive that I couldn't alienate them even for a week. Thanks!
Hi Lachi! Thanks Lachi.. I always appreciate my friends. Since I was not very easy to befriend when they met me.. I became a better person (I think) with their help. They taken me for my imperfections and I'm happy with theirs. And enjoy life all the time is what I try to do.. Thank you!
@sourlife Well my friends deserve answers.. But when I answer, they'd just have follow up questions.. I don't like explaining so I just say "don't worry about it, I got it" But of course it annoys me..
I agree! I don't answer most of the time especially when they aren't close to me.. Not even then sometimes. I don't like explaining myself to anyone. Especially when I know they won't understand my thoughts..
Bogart, I was not really very concerned about it.. But these [past few days, it has been the topic most of the time.. And it's very surprising that they really are concerned about it.
Leo, If happy sees this, and she will, you'd have your face scratched. LOL You've proposed to her for your third wife. If she had accepted, I'd be the forth! Goodness! You'll have your hands and feet full with happy, you'd like to add me?
I believe in taking chances too Stefff. But I only take calculated risks. If I think there is going to be nothing, why give it a chance? Don't you think it's a bit stupid?
Hans.. Are you going to match me to one of your contacts too? Or are you planning a blind date for me? My reason before was not being ready. Now it's... something else..
@Stefff One thing I hate most is surrendering my freedom. Not even to my parents. But it happened to people, so my guess is it could happen to me too. And I don't know if I will be able to handle that. Chances are: I might let go for a period of time but get tired of it easily, or push the person right away..
@CapNemo I told them. But being friends, they think it's somehow their responsibility or something to be concerned of me. And I try not to be too harsh to the people I love.
Stefff, I don't think I'd ever want to be controlled in any way. There are things that I'd do willingly, but that is if I agree, if I don't, I won't. Not even with reluctance. And I'm also not sure if I'm capable of that "madly in love." I just can't imagine myself like that.
I agree with KNenagh. Value yourself. Too much negativity affects everything inside you and everything outside you.
People would always be judgmental and there's nothing you can do to change it. What you can do however is be more aware of yourself. And start from there..
Still Single
I couldn't agree more Ken..I have never changed for anybody and never will. I only make changes when I recognize the need, and if it makes me a better person. Thank you!
