I mis-read the thread header, I think. I just responded in terms of the social flirting that goes on....for sure...be totally honest with who we are and what we are about....but possibly not so brutally honest with the playful side of things on the forums....we have feelings, after all.
Of course a liar whether on here or in real life can never be trusted.
Honesty is always the best policy.
...but in terms of the social flirting that goes on in the forums and blogs are we always brutally honest....or do we tread a little carefully? That's what I thought this thread was about.
Personally I don't flirt often on here and when I do it is generally because I find it playful and fun..... I am honest when giving a compliment, but do try not to lead men up a merry garden path to a dead end.
I'm not brutally honest with people on the forums, but honest enough that it sometimes raises a few eyebrows, I'm sure.
I think we do try to spare people's feelings....because we are real people behind the screen. We usually get round this by responding in tactful ways. Some people are good at this. Others not so. Some just don't give a toss.
I leave youse all alone for a few hours and now look at the state of my thread....
So typical....all over the place....
In all honesty, that's why I keep coming back...you're all nutty like me....
Hey, listen....everyone....we're(NZ) way ahead of you guys in terms of hours....May you all have a wonderful New Years Eve. I've really enjoyed meeting you all online. You're a good lot to be around.
I'm just having a quiet night tonight....a couple of drinks with a neighbour. I would've loved to have been swooped up by a dashing man on a white horse(a car would've been suffice, I guess) and out for a romantic dinner followed by dancing the New Year in......but, hey...we gotta be grateful for what we have.....and I am.
Happy New Year.... <<<<<<<< sorry....had to throw my dancin Santa in. He's my favie....
If you're with someone who is special to you....it's a bonding experience, unless of course it causes pain/discomfort which Jac has pointed out.
If you're with someone you care deeply about, it shouldn't be about personal space being invaded. You(she) actually may enjoy it and for him it gives him pleasure to be able to run his fingers through her hair.
I think the whole thing is ludicrous, tbh. Laughable, in fact.
I've never dated or been involved with men younger than myself.
It has never been a preference of mine.
...but I wanted to experience time with a man much younger than myself.
It didn't work for me. He was very friendly but worlds apart in terms of how we each see the world. I've had children. He hasn't. He seemed quite self-centred and talked endlessly about himself. He was quite the gentleman, very polite but I think for him it was about being with an "older woman".
My question is: is there a line for you?....how young/older would you realistically venture in finding a suitable partner.
This isn't about judging others who have found happiness with sizable age differences. Just want to know people's thoughts on this.
I thought I was quite "hip"...."young at heart"....but my perspective of the world is much different to a man who is considerably younger than myself.
