I'm glad you found the one for you and waited... it gives me hope I've been single for about 6 years now and am quite enjoying my freedom and independance. I just hope that if the right one comes along, I'm not too set in my ways or too attached to my independance to not recognize him for what he is
So true... I settled in love before (for 7 years) and will not do it again; it's all or single. Well, I do believe in the friends with benefits construction, but that has nothing to do with love
If I would be truly in love with someone and I can't be with him, I would have to get over the love before I could ever be with someone else... it wouldn't work for me otherwise.
Ok... would you believe me if I told you I was just singing along "if you happy and you know it" with barney the dinosaur??? Never heard of him - Great performer
I know what you mean with the commercial crap... however, I think it's quite hard to define (and dismiss) commercial - technically all musicians that trying to make money are commercial, aren't they? For me, the summum of commercial is a producer, picking boys or girls from the internet, based on looks not talent and nicking samples from others to make a poppy hit - beware of the boy/girl band! I don't usually like covers as well; although there are some, where musicians add a certain something, sort of as a tribute to the original, which are quite ok. Guess it all has to do with the feeling... the passion an artist puts in his creation; creativity... most true musicians live (for) their music.
Well, it takes a bit longer if you listen to the songs first... that took me back in time a few years, the good old days; nice! Nice bass and you're not too bad at all on the drums
You got my vote; good luck with the band and rock on!
Kidding, I also prefer going out for a drink on a first date. I love dinner dates, but sitting through an entire dinner if you really don't hit it off with someone is awful (I'm a slow eater, hehe).
True... and I actually like them better than filter cigarettes. Still it would be better to give up; however if we can't indulge in a couple of sins...
Don't want to disappoint you, but this can also be the ice cold shower... if the other person doesn't look like his pics at all. People thend to pretend to be better and present themselves different than how they really are. I'm sure for some it works wonders; I'll stick to meeting people locally and not being taken for a ride anymore.
I didn't send any money; I booked a ticket. After spending months, writing and talking on skype; hell, this portret even let me speak to his kids. Naive, yes... and extremely stupid for believing his words to be true and him true to his words. I still believe it's not wrong to help someone; you just have to pick somebody worthy and that's the hard part
Oh, I learned my lesson... don't worry, I will not be taken for a ride again; Belgian government has taken over
Everybody has feelings; not all decide to show them though and not all people are on the same wavelength. I think lots of us are too caught up in the rat race of the consumption society to stop and have a look around... take a breath and enjoy what's really important in life. Personally, I don't particularly care about what other peoples feelings are, unless I know and like them; it's a hard world.
Well, be glad; last guy I fell for, I talked to for months and in the end I decided to help him and pay for his flight to come back to Belgium. Turns out he doesn't look anything like his pictures; he's a fake, a liar and a thief and above all now, he's playing his sympathy card on the forums here and telling the world the women he met from CS have mental problems... yes, right, mental problems to fall for these stories and wanting to help out someone less fortunate... and helping yet another freeloading looser into the country abusing the welfare system
Very grown up indeed!
Ofcourse not all men are like that; just be cery careful what you wish for or indeed stop wasting time here and just enjoy the forums.
I think deep down inside you already know the answers. To me your relationship doesn't sound quite right; can you honestly say you're happy? Trust and accepting a partner for who he/she is, are the basis for a loving relationship. I don't think it's ever fair to throw someones past in his face; it's the present that counts and we all make mistakes and (hopefully) learn from them. Ofcourse your fiance might dislike your family; he should at least show them some common respect. You might love him, but if you have to arrange your life all around him and you're not free in choosing your friends or seeing your family, do you really think a marriage will have a future? Wishing you the best of luck and I hope you'll make the decision that's feels right for you; you're the only one responsible for your own happiness.
Sometimes when I get into the lift in my building, someone with a terrible perfume just got out... I have to wait for the next elevator; can't hold my breath for 14 floors Even the thought brings on the smell... awful!
I do like a fresh smell, a guy freshly showered and shaven... aftershave is okay, as long as it's not overwhelming or simply splashed on to keep the flies away
Very true and sometimes very hard, since we're all conditioned certain ways. I think we should do that more often than sometimes... and try everytime we meet someone new. However, we always judge in one way or another; we're only human.
The surprice kicks in at the moment you can let go... let go of the fences you built, let go of past experiences and let go of (false) expectations you have... when you start looking beyond the visible, start looking with your heart.
