Nah, pretty much the same. When you think about it, there is the initial risk involved, some investment, like you said, time, love, commitment, devotion, passion...all the things you need to make a relationship work.
How do you expect to tolerate and learn if you don't give it a shot? At least you could brush up your dating skills for when the right one does come along. Every meeting doesn't have to mean a relationship needs to be built from it. Dating is a great way to hone in on your skills and to discover not only what you want but what you don't want. I think you have an ideal stuck in your head and nobody is going to come close. I think it is more of a barrier or guard to protect yourself than a true reflection of what you want so that when girls don't measure up, you have an excuse to not get close to anyone.
I don't mind the cooking shows, they are better than half the dribble on tv now, at least it is some sort of inspiration for what to cook for dinner. Although I really don't see too much tv now. I think like most shows now, one type of show sets a trend then every channel has it's spin offs of it.
Gawd, that sounds miserable, Norm. Easy for me to say, it is part of my make up I think that I am a fighter. Maybe it is life's experiences?? I can't just lay down and die or never say never. Gets me in a bit of trouble sometimes but I don't find it good to feel defeated. And if I am beaten then at least I know I have tried everything and probably learnt something.
I had a quick glance at them today, there are some pretty interesting ones there for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary. There are some ordinary ones too.
That is really heartbreaking, Freo. What is worse is that you know you are in an abusive marriage but you don't know how to get out because of fear, money, intimidation, guilt. So many emotional hurdles involved in trying to find your way out. I am glad you got out before it cost you more than what it already did.
My god, I am soooo lazy. It is 1.30 in the afternoon and I am still lazing away in bed. I got a bit carried away in here, better go and do some gardening.
yup. Even though my marriage was not ideal, it was a huge part of my life and it was a very loving relationship. I wouldn't wish that I never had it even though it ended badly and like all experiences, it makes us who we are.
I was chatting with my cousin the other day and she said that she still can't believe that we split up (5 yrs later) and wonders if he knows what he gave up on. She used to look at photos of us and tell me how much in love we looked and we were. I would have died for him, now I just want to kill him.(jokes)
Do you mean marriage or just a general loving long term relationship/family?
I certainly would feel for anyone who has not settled into a loving family environment, has not had that deep connection with someone and was able to experience the joy of children and stability and genuinely sharing everything with the person you love.
I have a sister who reckons she is happily single. I can't imagine her ever settling down and having children, I am not convinced that she is happy though.
I got the tickles at a Thai massage when she got to my feet too. But one that is stranger was when I went to get my armpits waxed, she was tickling me putting the wax on!! WTF??
I am so glad you said that, I was going to ask you as I was watching a movie today 'The Proposal' which is set in Alaska with my brother in law and I was asking why they were going to bed in the daylight. He said it had long daylight hours but I thought it was the other way around so I will have to tell him he was right.
I think she was responding to the thread, not your post Tony.
Movember is a fundraiser where men grow moustaches for the month then shave them off. I am a bit ignorant but I think it is a fundraiser for prostate cancer research??
Yes, and daylight savings is a waste of time in QLD
I think they often just scouting looking for people to send their bland emails out to in bulk to any person who will read it in the hope someone will respond.
RE: Sad some people have never experienced marriage
I thought that said I'm free for private signings and parties.
