RE: Widower's

Very good advice given from everyone, and I agree, everyone is different and there is no "right" time, it is when YOU feel okay with it. It doesn't mean you have moved on and will not always love your deceased partner, and you don't have to feel guilty for wanting to continue to live your life and assuage your loneliness. I haven't had that happen to me, but I know that if I were madly in love with my partner, I would definitely want him to be happy! I guess you just have to beware of "rebound" relationships, and make sure you aren't getting involved with someone just because you feel a huge gap in your life which you need filled. Make sure it is someone really special and unique in their own way - not a replacement or someone you are settling for, but a unique new partner who really feels right for you.

RE: How can you dissuade someone from contacting you non-stop?

Yes... I am a little surprised you aren't a little more streetwise when it comes to this particular person! But I guess sometimes men don't think with their brain...

There really is only one thing to do, and that is to tell her you do not feel comfortable getting all these emails from her, and that you'd like her to stop sending them or you will have no choice but to block her.

Good luck and learn from this experience!

Some words of wisdom

We never get what we want,
we never want what we get,
we never have what we like,
we never like what we have.
and still we live & love.
That's life...

The best kind of friend
is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
never say a word,
and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know
what we've got until it's gone,
but it's also true that we don't know
what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
just wait for it to grow in their heart,
but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to develop a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone,
and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone..

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seems bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile!

May you have
enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human,
and enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness lies for
those who cry,
those who hurt,
those who have searched,
and those who have tried,
For only they can appreciate the importance of people
who have touched their lives.

When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one who is smiling
and everyone around you is crying.

RE: How many do you have perfume or eau de toilette?

I have 3 different ones currently. My absolute favourite is Chanel, Allure Sensuelle. For warmer weather, love Gucci Rush II. I also use the old classic: Opium by YSL - have the summer fragrance, which is a bit lighter. I prefer the eau de parfum as it lasts longer.

RE: Generally,who do u think are better singers?

I don't think one's size is in any way related to how good a singer you are!!!

RE: Would you want to date someone much smarter than you?

Hi Taff! How is Malta this beautiful spring morning? (Well at least that is what it is here....)

RE: Do you think you are like your horoscope sign?

I have some Leo traits and not others. I luuuuuurve being adored by my minions (only kidding not minions) prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and am very warm and affectionate with people I care about. Will fight to the death for my loved ones - can be very fierce. But I also have a sensitive, compassionate side - am told my rising sign is Gemini so perhaps that explains it?

RE: Do you think you are like your horoscope sign?

Uh oh, that explains my first son! Drives me crazy he is so disorganised and so chilled he is virtually horizontal!!!

RE: Would you want to date someone much smarter than you?

Yes I agree! Although I think emotional intelligence or EQ is actually more important than IQ! Intelligence without EQ is well, a bit like bread without butter...

RE: Tell a lie about the person above you 2

Can outfart all the blokes in the local cantina after eating her special Mexican chili beans recipe!!!

RE: What do you think about those CS members without a picture for their profiles?

I'm sorry, but I do think when it boils down to it, they have something to hide....

Should you choose your "best friend" for a long-term relationship?

I'm not quite sure what your point is? Are you saying because we're all going to die anyway, what's the point of being in a successful relationship?

RE: This is for the Ladies . . .

Yes, what about Matthew McConaughey and Bradley Cooper??!!!

Should you choose your "best friend" for a long-term relationship?

Oh dear!

Oh thanks Pretty!!!!

RE: Tell a lie about the person above you 2

Oooh, that sounds exciting! But my mama always told me not to be a tittle tale!

..... really dislikes watching movies, especially the classics!

RE: Tell a lie about the person above you 2

... is an ignorant, ugly woman!!! Totally not....

RE: BF still on dating sites daily

She said she has met him and they were intimate!

Should you choose your "best friend" for a long-term relationship?

Thanks and I absolutely agree with you, at least in regard to the choosing the good guy vs the bad guy! Unfortunately, a lot of us only learn that as we get older. Have you heard of Imago therapy? It is about choosing the partner you need to heal your childhood! When we eventually "grow up" and heal, we choose more suitable partners....

RE: BF still on dating sites daily

Hmmmm. Well, it sounds like although you talked about exclusivity, you did not tell him exactly how you felt about him being on other dating sites. In my opinion, it is best to be straightforward with a man. No beating around the bush. Clarify whether he is on here for example just to chat to mates and post in the forums or what? ...and tell him that if you are dating exclusively, then you would rather he hides his profile on other dating sites - at least while your relationship is in progress. I mean it works both ways. I bet he didn't like the idea of you keeping your dating profile up?

Iro the change in climate (the big chill), I reckon he is having second thoughts. Just ask him flat out - don't guess what's going on in his head. That's what I'd do! Good luck....

Should you choose your "best friend" for a long-term relationship?

Sadly, she sounds like her values are all screwed up. It must be hard to build up trust in women again after being burned like that, but I think it helps not to tarnish us all with the same paintbrush!!!! My advice is to take it slowly, and although I'm not one for delving into the past all the time; I feel it is important to understand why we chose the relationships we did... That way, we hopefully don't make the same mistake again!
Lots of good luck to you......
