I agree with Homing and cloud, a very interesting and true life experience expressed in a nice and clear way. Good blog. I do understand what you mean when saying that it feels so lovely to see that a man is interested in you so much after having such a bad experience with your ex. I can't advice you to do anything else than you have already done. Keep it as a pleasant memory and an introduction into meeting another man as equally interested in you, but free to date with. Good luck.
You are right, Rummy. As much as the picture of someone's face or whole body is important, the background is important, too. This is why I don't show much of my background - I am nver sure would it be agreeable to the eyes of an observer.
This happened to me, too, on the local site. There was a picture in my profile which I didn't change for quite a long time. As long as this picture was there, I were exchanging messages with a guy (not as long as you, though) and when he asked for some more pics, I put another picture of myself on the profile. He asked if it was my picture, I answered that it was, then he just disappeared and never wanted to continue our communication. I just don't understand why. The only thing which was different was my hairstyle. I guess he didn't like the other one.
Not good, of course that I know it. The trap about drugs, in general, is the fact that someone's mind's reaction to them is pleasant and others' very scary and it cannot be predicted or controlled.
There is a book written by Aldous Huxley 'The Doors of Perception' in which the author writes about his experiments with drugs.
I agree with alonerdo, the way you experienced this lady from your work shows that you are of a noble origin, too, or you have their characteristics. Anyways, I think that nobility is something connected with the spirit inside a person, not with the money inside his/her wallet. Lovely blog, tatami, thanks.
I do all the necessary steps to avoid it. Before going into anything further than corresponedence he is to tell about his previous relationships into details, particularly about the reasons he ended them. Take it or leave it. No more risks about it, thank you!
I know what you mean. Some men can really show you that you are not the center of the universe, that is right. But, then.... maybe you are not the center of their universe which must be some peripheral one, unimportant, outdated.... or so.... You are the center of the universe, but your own one. Keep smiling.
Excuse me, Soul, I am not sure what are you insinuating. But I have a feeling that men are the ones who most frequently do it with women - play with their feelings, emotions. Don't get me wrong, it is just my opinion inspired by the subject of your blog.
