Yes - instinct is not governed by logic. We are, as far as science can tell, among the few creatures on this planet capable of logical thinking. We are by no means the only creature with instinct.
Logic uses one side of the brain, instinct and inspiration use the other. Inspiration is what turns knowledge (aka experience) into wisdom.
I was in one and eventually married her. From that experience I've made the decision that I'll never move into her territory ever again. If she wants me to move... she'll have to meet me halfway - literally. She'd have to move too.
I like to go slow, and in many ways I think I go TOO slow. But when a woman tells me she wants to go slow it's always been a sign that she's not serious about me.
That's true - which is why I added the qualifier "if it's a cooperative effort." If you're trying to do it all on your own, you'll almost certainly fail.
I believe that a relationship's potential has nothing to do with distance.
That being said... I think you should take into consideration that most relationships eventually fail. Do you want to be stuck in a strange land when it does?
Isn't everyone here open to new friendships? Isn't everyone here because they're single?
I view the "F" word in a profile as a giant stop sign. Being a member here implies that you want people to think you're single. Why would someone put forward this implication and then say "I'm looking for friends?" I take it to mean "Even though I 'advertise' my availability, I want nothing more than friendship."
When a woman says in her profile that she just wants friends, I take her at her word. I treat her as "one of the guys." I'm looking for a woman who's willing to admit that she's looking for someone more.
I believe this forum allows a glimpse into what makes a person who they are. I've not been a member here very long, but I believe I can judge how well I'd get along with those whose posts I've read.
I think you'd have to ask the guy what he means. One guy might mean he just wants to be penpals, another might mean he doesn't want anything "serious."
