I got an email last Thursday from a friend back in Wisconsin. He had just found out that he had terminal cancer and that he had had the cancer for about a year and a half. The Dr's gave him 6 months to live. When I asked him what he was going to do, he said "nothing, just live my life to the fullest". Some people see it as giving up, but others, like me, see it as why prolong the agony. I would be the type that would spend all the time I could with the ones that I love, but let them know that it's not worth being sick and in pain for any longer than I would have to. I would travel and see as much of the world as I could and make my final destination a place where I want my life to end. Somewhere warm with lots of sun and sandy beaches. I'm not afraid of dying, I've lived a full life from the day I was born, and when my time has come, it's come. If it was only one day, I would go to bed with the woman I love and not get out. well maybe, if there's enough room on the floor
Did you ever think about sending him a text or an email that just says "Just wanted to say Hi" It doesn't make it look like you're desperate, but more like you care. If you get a response, great! If not, Move on. It's that simple.
In my situation, I don't think it's possible that she could really be friends with me. I asked her if she was willing to talk about everything, including other relationships. and she said no. To me, that wouldn't be a friendship. I, on the other hand would feel comfortable talking about anything. I think that we never were really friends, and that's why the relationship didn't work out in the first place
be a friend with an ex-lover. I've been on this site for almost 9 months now, and met many interesting women. One that I met on another site became a friend and lover. It didn't work out, but we both made a promise, and that was that no matter what happened between us, that we would still be friends. Well' that didn't work either. I'm not sure that it can ever work, but my answer is that if someone wants you to make that promise, Don't! I know this subject has come up before, but do you feel that ex-lovers can be friends after the relationship is over?
Thanks PowerPuff, That really made me feel good. I just wish that she would see the good in everything sooner. It's driving me nuts. She took the letter I wrote her to work with her and read it to the lady that she cares for. The lady called it a masterpiece, and told her that she should hang on to me. I hope that she takes her advice. I'm not trying to steer her wrong. It sucks being in a relationship that the love is so one sided. I would do anything for her, and she knows it. She's just scared at this point because of everything that has happened in the past, and doesn't want it to happen again.
right off the bat, I'm not willing to risk anything. call it gun shy (been shot in the heart more than once) But give me a couple of dates to see if it's going to work, and I'm willing to risk everything
A guy I hung around with when I was 20 or 21 walked into a bar, walked up to this girl and said "Hi my name is Joe Neville how do you like me so far" I saw it work, and saw him get slapped I didn't count which was more
Actually, I'm fourth on her list. She has three great kids that come before me, and I don't mind that. When he left, She came to me. That's what counts. I knew that she would, I'm the only guy that has treated her like she deserves. She's not used to it, but she will get there. All the guys in her life have been jerks, and she deserves better. She's a smart girl that just needs someone to show her how much better life can be with the right person. It isn't going to be easy, and is definitely going to take time, but it's worth it to me. I keep telling her "You love me you just don't know it yet" She just gives m this great smile and doesn't say a word. We both know what she's thinking. She just won't say it. I don't blame her, after all, she's been through so much crap in her life. The good will shine through, it's just a matter of time for the wounds to heal. I'll be there as her best friend forever. She also says that the word "forever" isn't in her vocabulary anymore, but I'm going to show her that it's still there, she just needs to learn how to spell it right.
Tattoos are hot on women, I don't think that I could date a woman without one well maybe if she was interested in getting one. I have one, and want more, I'm not sure what or where, but I will get some more.
This goes back to the love and lust thread earlier. Maybe they're not really in love, and only in lust. When the lust wears off it's time for divorce. Did you ever stop to think that maybe they don't really know what love is. I'd be really cautious, but I wouldn't give up on that person right away. In their search for love, you might be "the one" and in your search for love, they might be "the one". Is that something that you're willing to give up because they might not have found true love yet?
I don't think that anyone is the same online as they are in person, but what is read/written online shapes the way you see that person from the inside. I think that you really get to know what a person is truly like on the inside before you get to meet them. That's the true "them". Their picture gives you an idea of what they look like so when you meet them you tend to overlook the minor imperfections on the outside because you already know the person on the inside. it's the inside that counts anyways.
maybe there isn't a way to draw the line, thats why there's so many divorces. maybe they were only infatuated with each other and not really in love. maybe if there was a way to define that line it would be easier to understand love. Maybe there's a lot of maybes in this post......maybe?
I have the same philosophy, and really believe it to be true. When someone gets on your nerves, It's never a good thing for a relationship. Even trying to talk it out doesn't seem to work at that point. I just wish the other half would realize it too and feel the same.
Infatuation is a big thing, I'll bet more people are infatuated with each other than people being in love with each other. But where is that line drawn? Maybe this should be it's own post.
I've found a couple on this site and others, but no one worth keeping around yet most of the time everything starts out great, then when you really get to know them, you have to run like hell
Hey, don't sweat it, there's lots of ways to enjoy being single. Start dating on the internet to get rid of the first date jitters and BS. then take your date somewhere nice. Cannovas in Neenah is a great place for a first date. there are lots o places to go, and things to do in your area. I was from Waupaca and moved here a couple of months ago. I met a lot of really great women online up there. The bar scene is lame and the same, but find another hobby that you like and you'll find someone that likes it too. keep coming to the forums, search the singles sites, and keep doing what is comfortable to you. It's actually pretty easy to be single, and fun.
