I think that it doesn't mean that it is blind, it just means that when you really love someone that you are blind to what other people see as flaws in the person. When you truly love someone unconditionally, you don't see all of the bad that comes along with the good because all you can do is feel for the person. So I think that it is more true to say that people are blind when they fall in love........or maybe they do see and they just don't care, because they love them anyway........
Wow I think that that is very well put. That is exactly what scares me. (Am I being used, would you still be there, is that all that this relationship is about). Most men just don't truly understand those fears that women have. We are two very different creatures and we are wired differently so of course we will ever think exactly the same or see all things the same way, BUT I think that the important thing is consideration and trying to put yourself in the other person's shoes. ~thanks for the advice!

lol I think that that is fair enough. This person is only 1 year younger so it's not gross or anything. And it is just at a friend level anyway. Because I have a son I always try to think to myself how would I feel if my son was dating someone....... and depending on how I would feel that usually the way I go. Thanks for the "10" year rule though. Much appreciated. It is just hard to find good conversation with people these days. Thanks again!
So I have talked to a few different people on here and it has usually been older guys which is what I thought that I wanted but turns out the one person that I really like talking to and that I have connected with the most is a little younger than me. Not a whole lot only like a year or two so that is making me think age is nothing but a number and it is all in the way that you carry yourself....Am I right?????
ok well I wouldn't exactly call myself a scitso I'm just cautious. I do not feel bad for really looking into what he says or if there are any problems or patterns that I have noticed. I wouldn't say that I have a mental illness I would just say that I am very aware...and maybe you're right I'm not ready to love anyone or to let anyone in.
That's a good one but I still get a little leery about things. I have just always been told that if something seems too good to be true then it probably is. I don't want to upset the person by not trusting them and then it was all truth to begin with. But I don't want to fully trust and put myself aout there completely and then look like an idiot.
Boy do I ever miss them. Our lives have changed and grown in different directions and we still try to remain friends but it is sooo hard. I feel your pain!
I am a very cautious person now because I have been so trusting in the past and gotten myself into alot of problems because of it. How do you know when to trust someone? What are the "red flags" to look for? I don't want to be paranoid and ruin everything from lack of trust but I don't want to be too trusting and get hurt again either. Being lied too just makes me feel like and idiot!
Well coming from a female's point of view I think you should try to move on with your life and still remain in contact. Later on down the road if you guys are in the same place and want the same thing then give it a try. All things that are meant to be will eventually work themselves out. It may not be in the timely manner that you had hoped for but what is meant to be will be! Good Luck!
