Wouldn't it be great to be totally ourselves, unfortunately there is also the fact that if you are too smiley or accommodating for example people take advantage (or think they can) so we learn certain behaviours also to protect ourselves abit like the body armour Thad describes.
Priority and loads of attention some women may want but I think is not realistic as men also have their own life and priorities but if a guy is willing to give up a session of football (just as an example) now and again willingly to be with that special someone that is good enough.
The Lantern Festival (simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: Yuánxiaojié or simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: Shàngyuánjié; Vietnamese: T?t Nguyên tiêu; Hán t?: ???) is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar year in the Chinese calendar. It is not to be confused with the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also sometimes known as the "Lantern Festival" in locations such as Singapore, Malaysia. During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night to temples carrying paper lanterns (simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: tùzideng) and solve riddles on the lanterns (simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: caidengmí). It officially ends the Chinese New Year celebrations. In ancient times, the lanterns were fairly simple, for only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones; in modern times, lanterns have been embellished with many complex designs. For example, lanterns are now often made in shapes of animals. The Lantern Festival is also known as the Little New Year since it marks the end of the series of celebrations starting from the Chinese New Year. In Vietnam, this festival, comes after the New Year, T?t, and is named "T?t Thu?ng Nguyên" or "T?t Nguyên Tiêu".
and this festival dates back approximately 2000 years so a great tradition and may I ask did you have Yuan Xiao as well as Tang Yuan? Sounds delicious!
yes I also like the Chinese festivals and can I ask you when you look at the moon do you see rabbit or face or both? The rabbit being popular I think in your country.
RE: Friends...
That's an interesting idea, but on a Melon Stall or Farm there are many good ones and there are different types of Melons too
