Hi Andrea, have you thought of having a get together in your area ? I'm sure there would be members that would attend and who knows maybe you will meet a potential partner at such an event or come away with new friends close to home.
Firstly NO-ONE can make another fall in love with them and going by what you say though there is two sides to every story it sounds to me that this person isn't very responsible ie doesn't own her feelings.
If someone tried to contact me that often in a day after only knowing them a week alarm bells would be sounding.
You were feeling hurt which is understandable which is why you didn't want to talk to this person though again it is a choice what to feel and it sounds to me your gut was trying to tell you something however you didnt want to listen.
In someways this situation is giving you both an opportunity to maybe re evaluate what it is you both want as individuals and maybe as a potential partnership.
People come into our lives for a reason and a time and usually it is to learn, to grow and get to know ourselves better. Sometimes it is a fleeting encounter and other times more permanent.
I find these affirmations helpful No expectations , no disapointments With acceptance of what we can not change comes peace and The only such thing as a bad experience is one that we didn't learn from.
Let this event steer you onwards and not hold you back ...
hi AJ in abbreviated form, expat is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture other than that of the person's upbringing or legal residence.
Good idea re to penning your thoughts I have been keeping journals since 1998 of thoughts, dreams, synchronicities etc.
Some times when we leave home even our birth country it isnt until we go back that we have a greater understand of the reasons we left in the first place.
Personally I think you need to make it ok to live where ever it is you want to be for your own positive growth, somewhere that has something to offer you and you it ...
Follow your intuition on this one AJ and I am sure all will turn out for the best and remember what ever is best for you will be best for everyone.
Hi bubbles, If you were my daughter my question to you would be, why do you want to meet people via the net when there are so many young people literally around you?
If you were my daughter my advice to you would be,take a friend and meet in a public place.Do not give away your address until you feel you can trust him with it. We can only ever get aquainted with someone via the net or phone and usually we never really start to know them till we meet them face to face.It also takes courage to meet someone so I admire your courage.
And may I suggest a book by Iyanla Vanzant - Don't Give It Away.It was written for young women.
Hi Ben, personally I dont think it is a case of bad boy verses romance not if romance is defined as love emphasizing emotion over libido. At a subsconscious level opposites attract until we reach a level of spiritual maturity where like attracts like.Personaly whether I play with someone has nothing to do with good,bad and least of all romance but has everything to do with honesty,respect,mutuality and chemistry. Doesn't bad like everything else mean something different to everyone else ? A lot of so called good guys are very bad compared to so called bad guys who can be so very good ...
I think people can, it just takes 2 very mature people is all, and alot depends on the 2 people and why they split up to begin with.. for some it may be too painful to stay friends which is a bit silly esp if they did get along and it was circumstances beyond their control which aided the breakup. Sometimes people just need some space to deal and then they may come back to be a friend and if they dont learn,let go and move on as there are plenty out there..
