uhh.. its as simple as this... our friend is looking for a date.. but doesnt want to feel like an ATM machine so would like her to pay 50-50 .. and he's looking for a date .. does not mean its supposed to be love ....
so.. the the only answer would be say it all in black and white on your profile or wherever u want to..... so u get clearly...50-50 paying dates not delusioned its love and theones otherwise dont bother you ....
Hmmm.. thats an interesting observation.... though i think it varies from person to person ....
Some people feel those " unrealistic expectations " are exactly what they deserve and want .. good for them..
Some like to be in touch with their inner self .. good for them too..
So. you cant really say .. who is kidding whom here ... until you get to know them personally and find out what's in store... thats why communication matters....
It isnt quite unusual for a woman to get swept off her feet by a man who is not what her profile criteria mention .....nor isit for a man to fall for a woman who has an appealing persona with a positive exuberance .... regardless of the criteria stuff.
Bottomline is if you r looking for love you need to avoid being judgemental ... you might just find it somewhere you never looked or wanted to look..
so much for the " Beauty and the Beast and the Frog turning in to a prince "
It is sad .... actually, but it beats me why would someone be so hurt in the first place ...
I feel if they r looking for someone seriously this kind of desperate resort wont help finding the right person in any way ... so doesnt serve the purpose in the first place ....
Initially i thought that too... that Honey has someone else " i am honey " .... something on those lines ....
I went thro' the entire thread and still dont know ... uhh what to think ..
Real life compatibility cant be figured out by online interactions ... all we can figure out is how he/she thinks , reacts to certain situations ( even that could be fake at times) and few other things.. none of which should be taken to seriously .
Even if they r interested and it goes over to mailing and meeting .. its a long way ahead to consider a relationship...
Friends anyone can be .. anytime ... just needs a little nurturing and weeding ....
Squirly , Angelsojaded and Mark ... dont know what to say..
Havent been in a abusive home or relationship .. but your stories and write-ups have moved me ..
Fear in itself is larger than the predator .. it can torture u more than a living person .. you r getting emptier within as the fear occupies all the place you have for love and faith ....
All i can say is what we need to do is to wake up every morning and with each breath try to drive that fear out . Build courage with in as the toughest situations are more mentally challenging than physical....
I always think one happy day gone by is one more blessing for me .... so count on your blessings isnt too bad for a start i guess .. We do take a lot of things for granted like Sharon said .
Winters basically make people sad everywhere .... the gloom almost grows unto you ...
