A question for the men

After you have gotten to know the person you are in a relationship with what word or words do you want them to think best discribes you? Do you want the person to think they are safe with? Comfortable? Reliable? Dangerous?

Just wondering

RE: Are you all ready for this? part 1 please reply after reading part 2 !!

Both of these posts are very thoughtful and from your heart. They will give me several things to think about concerning my own feelings right now.
Thank you.

RE: Women Find Men Most Irristable When They...............

when they are comfortable enough to share from their heart what they are feeling but are strong enough to hear what I am saying. I also think that an easy going take it as it comes attitude is most attractive.

RE: Do you think that infatuation is a form of sadomachoschism?

This is definetly how I feel today! I am not sure how to change it. Part of me is wishes I could see the future. I am tired of feeling like I don't not know what to do next or say next. I don't know if what I am feeling or thinking is projecting what it is I want someone else to feel about me.

RE: You Know You Are Alone When............

Your child gets to spend the night with his buddy and all you have to do is stay home and do home work or come here on a saturday night.

RE: Getting over an ex...

I came looking for this type of thread because the man that I am interested in told me tonight that his ex wants to be closer then they are now and asked him to go to Paris with him. I didn't know what to say to him. He asked me if I jelouse of her and I told him yes and no. He asked why no and I said I think she was foolish to start with. But now that I have had a little time I feel that yes a lot stronger. I am in a different place in my life then she is and I am not sure that I can compete with someone who asks some one else to go to Paris with them. I also told him that I don't think for the most part that you can ever go back to a relationship that didn't work. He made the commit that life got in the way of the relationship and that is why it didn't work. Now I don't know what to think but I am not up for getting my heart broken again.

RE: What do you do with love ?

This is a very thought provoking topic. I sometimes feel empty of emotion. Sometimes drained from exspeinces that I have had. I sometimes feel like love will not come back to me and that sometimes I want so much to share what love I have with someone else that it hurts. Sometimes I think we do project it on someone else because we want to share it so much that it is sometimes misplaced. I hope that you soon will find someone to share love with as I hope this for myself.

RE: If your life ended today...

This is so true! And sometimes the hardest thing to see realisticly. I have always thought that if someone down the road says "I remember Dawn and she did this for me. My life might have been different if she had not come into my life." I have people who I can say that about and count my blessings in that they were part of my life.
I hope that I have not harmed anyway in a mean or spiteful way and that people will remember me for loving unconditionally, sharing with others when maybe I didn't have what I needed anyway but just didn't know it, and providing comfort to someone when they were in a time of sadness.

RE: Country Boys...and...City Girls...

I am still confused about whether I am a city girl or a country girl. I love the city, I love being able to shop in a downtown and just spend the day wondering around. I moved from a city of a couple million to a city of about 5,000 (or is that a town?) I miss the activity and busyness of the city. I miss going to live theater and out to dinner at a varitiy of different places.

On the other side of that. I grew up in a small town of less then a 1000. I could leave my car unlocked but had to have a car in the city I didn't have a car and could take transit any place I wanted to go. I love to see the stars at night one of those things you don't get to see as much in the city. There is nothing like the fresh air of being in the country or the mountains. (The beach is still the best for fresh air.) The quiet and stillness of the country does my heart good. I am not sure that I want to bring my son up in a city that could give him choices that I don't want him to have to make. I am aware that some of those choices will still have to be made but I hope that it will be less pressure for him in the long run.

As for city girls and country boys my ex was a city boy but I don't think that had anything to do with why we are no longer together. Now I really like a farmer and I think if the feelings go both ways we could have a great relationship.

As for the meth issue. I live in Oregon. The problem with that is that we have a very large meth problem here. The worst in the country. We now have to buy a lot of over the counter medication from the pharmacy. This is ok. I would rather do that then have more drugs made. I hope that they can get a handle on this problem before my son is faced with the problem.

RE: Paws' Log. Day 238.

I think I like this version of star trek better then all others. Hope you have a great time.

Its been ??? long sense...........

Yes I have been known to like cookies too. I always think if it isn't chocolate then why bother.

RE: calling all flirts

I think I need lessons on how to flirt.

RE: What do you do when you get the blue?

I like your list IRON! I agree with all of them and that all of our lists will be different and I am thankful everyday for my blessings.

My favorite thing to do when I am sad is go to the beach however if I can not do that then Retail Therapy always helps.

Its been ??? long sense...........

I love diet pepsi. I decided to have stomach surgery in march and the doctor said it might hurt to drink soda after the surgery I am a whip in some ways I don't like pain. That seemed like an easy choice. I think and it is not my business but I would work on the cigs before the soda. They are bad. Worse for you then anything else I can think of. Besides illigal drugs.

As for the guy who is 157 (57) and being bi-polar take your meds and go to a counselor. I have a sister who is bi-polar. She drives everyone in my family nuts. Not that I think everyone who is bi-polar acts the way she does but it is bad.

I beleave that God will give each of us the partner we are looking for when the time is right and if He/She does not then we must find happiness in what we do have. I am not sure that finding a mate is what you should be doing. Sometimes when we are not looking we find the person who we are ment to be with. As for the rest of your list if you know you need to do all those things then you need to JUST DO IT as the Nike commercial says.

Here is my disclaimer. I am not an expert so you can take what I say or leave it. That is ok with me but don't get mad at me. My best to all of you.

Painting can't be all that bad I must say that I have never had to do it. Would it help to do a wall a day or some smaller amount? Good luck and you can do it.

Its been ??? long sense...........

I have no idea what those would be called.

RE: What would be the worst profession for you?

In my past life I was a lifeguard at a private club. I said that I could never be a nurse or work in a hospital. I walked out of a first aid class because I got sick watching the films they showed. In my present life I work as an aid in an intensive care unit. Usually I am the first person to help with any kind of dressing change even the nasty ones. It seems very interesting these days. Go figure. I deal with dead bodies as well pretty regularly as well. The only thing I have issues with is something that smells nasty. That usually sends me running to I am pretty sure I couldn't do trash collecting or work on a dairy farm or something that smells to much.

RE: Messenger Relationships???

I have to tell you about a friend of mine who met her husband in a chat room and are now married and have a child to gether. She fell in love with him from the things he said and then met him. I do think you have to meet someone to truely be in love with them.

It is funny that this is a topic. I am pretty shy in person until someone gets to know me. I feel more comfortable with my sense of humor on here then I do sometimes in person unless I know you well or if you are part of my family. I think sometimes it is easier to let your guard down when nobody is watching you. My example is I talk to a guy and have for a long time he came on-line one evening and I IMed him with "what's a nice guy like you doing in a place like this?" I would not normaly say that to someone in person unless I really knew them well. It turned out not to be him but his friend who was over and didn't know he had messanger on untel I said something. I was a little embarrased that someone else that I didn't know at all had gotten that message. We ended up having a long conversation and some of the things that were said got a little twisted but it sometimes easier to be the way you want people to see you on here then who you might be in person.
Does that seem true for anyone else?

RE: Messenger Relationships???

My best friend is a guy who I chatted with for a long time before we ever met. He is a great guy and we talk openly about everything and then some. After talking for about 2 year on line and on the phone we finally met. Before I met him I thought I could be attracted to him then I met him and found that he just wasn't the type of guy I wanted to have any more of a relationship with then friendship. Not because I don't find him attractive but because I know him to well and I know his issues and he knows mine. We still have a great friendship and I would trust him with anything even my son and to trust someone that much is a big thing for me.

I think you can fall into deep like with someone on IM and have someone I do like a lot who I think we will meet soon but that has been a long time coming.

Best of luck to you Wikked.

RE: Withdrawing From People

I often have days when I feel like that. There are days when I just want to be alone. I often go to the beach alone it gives me time to think and count my blessings. I also work in a job that I am always around people and sometimes I just need a time to catch my breath.

RE: it is time to say farewell

Dear Z~
In other posts that I have put here I have said this but I will say it again because you have made an impact on my life in a very short amount of time. You are a special person and I hope you will change your mind and stay awhile longer but that is only because I have enjoyed getting to know you even if it was only for a very short amount of time.

Never underestimate the impact you have on other.

Never forget how special you are.

RE: let me whisper sweet nothings

Its been ??? long sense...........

Soda is very bad for you and highly addictive. I would have had IV drip of diet pepsie if they would have let me. I stopped because I wanted to have surgery and that was one of the things that had to go. But I am happy that I feel alot better. And have lost a lot of weight sense then.

As for the mary jane that goes back to the smoking thing good luck it is bad for you in the long run.
Dawn

Its been ??? long sense...........

Thanks Paws I am sure there are many who know what number their age maybe but don't feel like they are that old. I am included in that. Somedays I feel 20something others because of experience I feel 40 something.

As for the smoking good luck with that. You will feel alot better in the long run. The first few weeks and months will be hard but stick to it.

RE: Just one moment in time.

Sometimes memories are best forgotten but there are important lessons to be learned from the good and the bad. There are things I wish I could forget however the lessons are ones that only come with age.

Its been ??? long sense...........

Hello my name is Dawn, Its been 7 months sense I had a diet pepsie.

I am starting a support group for anyone with anything they need to be supported for. It can be for any reason fun or not so fun.

RE: Thanksgiving ain't what it used to be.

Sorry for all the typos.

RE: Thanksgiving ain't what it used to be.

Isn't it amazing what how much a person can impact us in a very short amount of time. Even a small child make a big impact on all of us. I am always amazed at the people I encounter when I am at work some of them have gone through such a huge ordeal and don't think anything of it. Others go through something that is smaller in comparison and think it is the end of the world. Even going through all that I have been through I am always struck by the thought that my worries are small compared to what someone else maybe dealing with. I will keep your great-neice in my prayers.

The commit that was made to me a few years ago that has always stuck with me and I have a bracelet that I wear all the time with it on it says:

Never underestimate the impact you have on others.

On the flip side of that I never underestimate the impact others have on me. And am thankful for the blessing of friends and family and strangers that may become friends.

RE: Pay it FORWARD - What would give to the person BELOW YOU?

Sounds like a great evening.
I would give them peace of mind and heart that their struggles may never be dealt with alone.

A big hug.

And a walk on the beach on warm day when the sun is out and there is no wind.
Dawn
