Reply from their post, not from the reply box at the bottom, and there is a box you check yes or no to quote them. It's a great feature here, some sites don't have it, and it's hard to tell who you're replying to.
Expecting too much is the best way to ruin anything in life. You miss what you have today if you're always looking ahead to what you expect to come tomorrow.
I cried at my niece's wedding because she was just so beautiful. I cried at my daughter's because I was so happy for her, she married the greatest guy in the world for her.
Shoulda cried at my own wedding, I would have if I'd known what was coming! But I got my beautiful daughter out of it, so I'm glad I didn't know.
Especially liked the quote "The search for 'the meaning of life' is folly.--the meaning of life is made, not found." I've never heard it put that way, but is so true, who said that? I've always like the Shakespeare quote also.
So many people are looking for fulfillment outside themselves, but we must find it inside before we can truly find what we are looking for in another person.
I don't agree with you Rillyniceguy in the OP, I don't feel that the risks outweigh the benefits in finding love. Love can make you a better person, even if it doesn't last. Pain can make you stronger, and you learn and grow from the experience. Back to the Shakespeare quote, it is our thinking that makes it good or bad. Remember the good times, and learn from the bad. I can look back on my failed relationships and see what I've gained from them, and the gain outweighs the pain.
I think you can. I actually feel you can get to know someone better by talking on the phone and emails and such, than say, meeting in a bar where you can't even hear yourself think.
Gotta remember though, till you actually meet them, it's just chemistry, and we all know what happens when the wrong chemicals get mixed up. So just be careful.
Cause they think that's what they've got to do to get laid. Which I don't understand, cause there's plenty of women who'll do it without a man having to swear undying love.
Some men are just jerks, it's the thrill of the conquest. Don't try to understand it, just try to avoid em.
Well I'll tell ya one thing, the beer ain't gonna help.
All that will do is keep you from feeling what you need to feel in order to heal. The best way to get over any hurt is to let yourself feel it. JMO, and my experience. Good luck.
