Lots of music from the years of my youth would be classified as "new to me" ....... there is still so much music that I've yet to hear. That's the one thing I like about youtube is that its an endless exploration of new possibilities.
Not sure ... but perhaps its a good opportunity for you to start a singles' group within your community with social outings and activities. That would give you the opportunity to meet people without the pressures of "dating" and have some fun too until you found someone who attracted your attention.
Gotta say Buddy was one of the few here who have touched my heart .... the difference I found in him was that he always seemed to make the choice to be kind. I admired his spirit for that. He set a good example to me.
Good words to remember and life is certainly fleeting .... our attitude is EVERYTHING and Buddy always had a way of reminding me to keep that in perspective with his kind words. We look to others sometimes to put a smile on our face, when its also important to put a smile on another's face by a simple few words.
Kindness in the simplest of forms - truly how often do we blow it? Sadly I can say that its something that I continue to work on to improve in my life, but I do have those moments that remind me that we can make a difference. Yesterday I met a woman who shared that she's just lost her husband ... funeral is coming up on this Saturday ..... married 56 years ... I can't even imagine her grief but the saddest part for me was to realize that I want to ...... for her life has been blessed by sharing it with her husband ...... it made me realize what I'm missing. We shared some tears and laughs and a few hugs ....
Ok this trying to learn how to embed a video is DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!! In the meantime while I'm still trying to figure it out here's a video I stumbled across that made me smile.
When someone portrays themselves as "being interested in establishing a relationship" and takes no steps to have the relationship deepen and grow ... then how can someone not say to themselves that their time and energy is being wasted when they also desire a relationship?
Friendship can certainly flourish - but therein lies the difference if the boundaries of said interactions have been put into place. No one is a mind reader of another person - so if someone states that they want a relationship another would have the expectation that is what they are truly seeking.
I think given the amount of time that the OP has invested into getting to know this person, that its clear to her whether she really wants to admit it or not, is that they both desire different things. That it itself is not wrong - but - it also seems that they are not meant to be together beyond friendship.
