Oh boy, absolutely... The infamous "I guess he's thinking that......." (insert whatever)
I appreciate our differences... E.g. I wouldn't want a man to "share" his problems with me by way of whining "omg, what am I gonna do about it...." He's a man, for Heaven's sake. My personal magician that CAN solve any problem that surfaces - at least I have that much faith in him.
And yup, sure women want men to keep in touch, call, text etc... But try doing that to a man (call him too often during the day, "baby" him, constantly ask him how he's doing, what he's thinking etc.... Brrrrr, it just doesn't sound right, and it might drive them crazy.....)[/quote]
OMG .. I am glad you got the joke in that .. when this girl and me thought of that we laughed so much
Sometimes we are so self-absorbed we forget there could be worse possibilities .. worse things happening to people .. Oh well ... We live and learn .. sometimes ourselves and the hard way while many times from others.
Emotions can be a two edged sword many times ... whilst u can win a heart .. you can even do right the opposite.
Its funny when the one thing everyone seeks is love ... the path to finding , then treasuring and nurturing and keeping it everyday like it felt the very first day can be so difficult and confusing.
( I wonder if the knight in armour thing still works )
Am glad you shared Daniel .. its nice to see a lot of guys speak their mind.
Yes.. the right person is worth the pains.
I can understand what u are saying ... all i would wish is for someone to not make me end up hurt .. i am fine with the honesty and accomodating , adjusting .. everything ... but not being hurt like people do to others .. i would withdrawn rapidly
I think Katie your present situationwith your family moving and him away and u having met him recently .. its all adding to your sadness and feeling neglected.
Take one thing at a time .. u will realise gradually you will start dealing with it better. I dont know what else to say
Dear Katie calm down .. it must be really difficult for you presently but dont give up or make decisions like a little too soon.
Esp. now when u feel emotionally vulnerable .. its the best situation to speak to your guy and discuss things .. i am sure he will understand .. it will help u strengthen your bond too.
I see that in my family .. my parents lived in the defined man and women role environment .. but i make sure my brothers dont develop " I am the male " sort of haughty attitude ...
ok i got an idea .. to begin with maybe tell him you miss him and how you feel and ask him how he feels .. good way to start the conversation ..
Then as you are speaking when it sounds ok tell him you reallly wish he would tell you how he feels more often cos it makes u happy and loved and secure .. secure in the sense that it makes the missing easier to handle ..
I guess you can make a start this way and then see how things go.
I know how crazy it can feel .. I have a friend who is like overtly romantic .. almost mills and boons like and her husband is a simple , silent guy .. hardly speaks .. sweet guy. So .. you know
Most of the time, I make it a point to choose my words carefully. Some may view me as quiet, but I much prefer thoughtful.
It is perhaps even more important in a medium such as this, where tonality and expressions are completely absent. Maybe that is what the emoticons are for...[/quote]
You say a lot more with few words .. indeed deep and thoughtful !!!
I wish a lot more people had the oppurtunity to choose and the talent or aptitude for something in them be nurtured to help them in making the choice of emotionally satisfying jobs and careers.
Satisfaction translates in to happiness and reflects on other aspects of our personal lives.
Men and Women emotionally..
