Ali, I respectfully disagree with you. I do know when someone is not sincere. It shows in body language and Eye cointact. This is why I say that I would be in an LDR, but it would take many more than one meeting in person before I would be willing to go to the next level.
BTW, I am in the Engineering Disciplines and Part of what makes me so good at it is that I am VERY Detail Oriented. My Late Husband used to say I was too Damned observent.
Why do others say this? Is it rally that hard to understand what is talked about? I had/have no such problems. The key is for both partners to take turns and LISTEN to each other without interupting.
Erm, I HAVE told my Late Husband He was right when He was. He also told me He stood Corrected, when he was wrong. His response would often take Him several days to two weeks to admit it, whereas, I always admitted I was wrong when I was.
My Ex-Fiance also took a long time to admit he was wrong.
When I asked both of them why, they both, basically said that in general Guys are raised to never admit they are wrong. Mind you I met my ex-fiance ~ 11-12 yrs after My Late Husband was gone.
Interesting that you can say this. My Dad COULD, at times, come straight to the point. In dealing with his kids though, he usually beat around the bush, he said it was his way of majking sure we understood everything.
Ever think it could be the same for us?
OR that we were trying not to hurt you guys's feelings?
On a good note, I was Delivering Newspapers a couple of years ago to make ends meet. This one particular night was very Foggy. I mean Zero visibility foggy.
I had just delivered a paper and was starting to move again, when the fog cleared, momentarily. There with his nose to the hood of my truck was a young Buck. He was walking backwards as I moved forwards sniffing my hood.
I was so awed. We looked at each other and then I just exclaimed OMG! I can't believe this! He jumped and ran past me, I could have petted him as he ran past my open window he was hugging the truck as he passed.
As soon as he passed, the fog closed over again back to Zero Disability.
True, yet in this day and with things the way they are, he can also ease her families fears by traveling to meet her for the first time if he can pay for her, he can pay for him.
Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane, Conrad. You know, when I was 1st Runnerup for the Fair Queen, my Jr year, The cast from Hee Haw were the Guests @ our Fair. The Fair Queen and I got Serenaded by the Haggerty Twins, on on each side of us. The Fair King and His 1st Runnerup were really not to impressed as I recall.
RE: MARRIAGE
Very true.
