I think it's true. A site has to make money somehow to stay in the black. It's completely possible they place profit over principles. I've noticed an influx of fake profiles the past few days, as well.
My homemade nachos. I'm a nachos connoisseur, and have had nachos just about everywhere. I've had some really really great nachos, but I have started making mine homemade, so I can layer everything properly, and get cheese and all the fixings on each chip (none of that icky 'cheese' sauce product!).
How is it that Pizza can make it on the food chain as a vegetable, yet Nachos aren't included and have a plethora of vegetables (at least mine do)?
Honestly, I'm impartial. If it happens, it happens. Not one for rushing things, and not one for impatience. I enjoy my alone time just fine. If the time comes I meet someone who I'd like to get to know better, I hope she also likes spending alone time, or time out with the girls.
It's really not that I don't care. I'm not desperate. I'm good at taking care of myself, and getting better at it. The realization several years ago that I am codependent really put the focus on how I ran from one relationship to the next, without stopping to practice good self care. I was afraid to be alone. But I accept that I am alone, and that it's time well spent on building a stronger me. I'm pretty confident that the woman I meet will enjoy that.
I noticed you had no counter to my statement about Obama being blocked by a republican-majority house and senate, stating they refused to work with 'this president'. First time in presidential history that a president was blocked by both house and senate (regardless of party) and publicly stated they would never let him make any progress.
If someone removed the wheels from your car, how far do you think you'd get?
While I'd like to believe that as a country, we can overcome things like race and nationality, we're hardly there. No, not playing the race card. But something in Denmark doesn't smell like cheddar...
And why isn't Mitt courting black voters? Oh wait, he did a televised spot where he had his picture with a crowd of black children. Would he have done that if there were no cameras around?
Posturing.
And it happens in both parties. All the time. Tons of "Sure we'll fix everything!" and "We have a special plan to fix it all!".
Personally, I'm writing-in Jon Stewart. There's honesty and guts. He may not have a plan, but I know what to expect from him.
And I'd like to add that you are partially right. There has been progress.
I wonder how much progress Mitt would make when a democrat-controlled house and senate vow to not let him get a bill passed, and refuse to work with him.
What I find so funny is how so many of the right wingers love to talk about conspiracies, and point fingers at the opposing party. Oh, and the name-calling.
I'm reminded of the question "What would Jesus do?".
And, as a reminder, your Jesus was a liberal. Taught love, not hate. Peace, not war. Turn the other cheek. Be kind to each other.
My usual approach has always been to walk her to the door, unzip my pants, and ask her for a goodnight kiss. The trick is to keep them out until after midnight on the second date, so you can say "Look babe, we've been on three dates now. Can I at least get a handy?".
^^ This. So very true. Admittedly, I tried it once when I was a teenager, thinking I was ready to be a dad, and I was afraid I was going to lose my girlfriend at the time. Fortunately, my attempt failed, she never found out, and we broke-up not too long afterward because she was seeing another guy on the sly.
If my stupid plan had succeeded, I most likely would have spent most of my life having to be friendly with that ex. Awkward, at best.
Interestingly, I've been approached three times this week. I'm quite shy at first, and never know how to start a conversation. I don't use pick-up lines at all, so I usually practice for a bit and then give-up.
I was approached by a very charming woman today from NC. Knocked me out.
While a rebound relationship isn't a good, solid base to build a new relationship on, it can blossom if everyone plays their cards right.
- Patience. Be willing to support the person who you want to be with. Be there for them through thick and thin. Prove that you are reliable, strong, and comforting. Most importantly, that you won't let them down.
- Room/Space. Very important to give the person plenty of breathing room to go through the grieving process. Let them come to you, and you can still mix the 'Patience' factor into this with words of encouragement and support.
These are the two key factors. If you are the rebounder, by all means take your time and move slow. If the person is forcing you to make a choice or rush things, explain where you are coming from. If this doesn't work, have an exit strategy. Don't lead them on, or give hope.
This advice and these tools aren't applicable to every single situation.
