Ya...Gracie is fighting on the 27th against Hughes...again...dislike Hughes and would like Gracie to win. But Hughes will likley over power the 40 yr old Gracie. I'll be watching that one (not live unfortunately).
I prefer middle of the road...I don't want to be making decisions all of the time, yet would never work out if my partner thought she was right all of the time either.
I've always thought of this as a partnership. Idealy, you want to make descisions that impact both of you positively and not let your ego get in the way.
There are many ways to deliver an opinion or a message...it is easier to accept things for me with people that can reason and have tact.
I'm fairly new to this site too. I have been separated for over 3 yrs. It was hard at first...after being with the same person for 14 yrs, strange getting back out there.
I can't say I've felt alone...I've dated plenty since my separation (hope this doesn't sound like I go through girls like mad cause I don't). Of course, would prefer a partner that I connect with.
Not many local matches for me here. Just come for the forums but the same people seem to post all of the time. Funny posts for the most part and entertaining for sure. Hope to have new people post!!! Hint!!!
Things will happen in time... just haven't had that feeling yet.
Looks then personality...I find I look for body langauge in a conversation...facial expressions when you talk, the way she might smile, that kind of thing. Call me weird, but the way it is all combined makes me want to stay and chat.
It sounds like you need a support system that is at your level. To me, you seem like an extremely driven individual and carrying the weight of the world gets tiring. Some have mentioned the importance of having other things other than being 100% committed to work and sleep.
I'm only guessing as to what could solve your dilema...The only thing I can think of is my experiance with being a workaholic at one time in my life. Everything was pushed aside so that I could acheive "success". At that time success to me meant visability from work related achievements, financial gain, the way I dealt with pressure situations and the pressure to continue and do better at all of these all of the time.
I got an eye opening at a sales course in which the instructor asked many questions related to our personal life, not work performace. This was a 3 day course and 2 days had been based on personal issues. Funny how I couldn't contribute much as my life was based on work.
It's been a few years and the impact of the course remains imprinted in all things I do today. Some days are late work hrs and need the attention, but what I gained was the knowledge that I could create balance in my life. Life is not all work and means nothing if you can't enjoy friends, family, hobbies or whatever else turns your crank.
Whatever it is, hope you find that balance during your time off.
I had a similar experience like yours. We msned and had long hrs of phone conversation. We just clicked. She described herself to me and it all seemed to be in place. It was almost a month when she finally took pictures of herself and sent them to me. I was disappointed to see that it was not what she originally described.
Maybe I painted a picture in my head with the description she gave me... her picture did not look like my painting! lol.
You must be excited! Hope it works out for you. All the best!
Being on forums at various sites we have all heard the fake picture experience. There are obviously different opinions on what is required to establish chemistry. Some require the visual appeal while others look for an emotional connection.
What do you look for when it comes to establishing chemistry at your first meet?
I'm a visual person and look for a bright smile and want to sense a happy person. You?

RE: Would you rather have loved and lost...than never loved at all....
Each experiance bad or good has always had something for me to learn from. All have been worth while and would never take them back.
