How about all the men/women that don't post on the forums? The one's that post are a small amount of the members here. I've met some wonderful people just by emailing back and forth after reading a profile.
Yup, that's what I mean! And it really is, IMO, applicable to people too - if you've considered it well, if you do truly love the person (on more than one level), then how can you possibly change your mind and break up after a misunderstanding, totally writing the person off and not giving any chances?[/quote
Doesn't that really depend on what the arguement/quarrel is about? Seems to me that happens mostly in the early stage of a relationship; when pride/individuality plays a large part of things. Later on you tend to grow together and accept each others faults/idiosyncrasies as part of why you love the other person in the first place.
Can see how you might question yourself at the beginning but you seem like a smart lady. I KNOW you figured out what was going on. Then it's all about how YOU react. Accept or reject. I reject.
Nicely put! Surprises me, tho. From reading the threads there seems to be a WHOLE lot of trust issues here. Nice to know that not everyone has that particular hangup/problem. Kudos to you!!
Bravo!! Have a buddy from England that we met on line 10 yrs ago. Takes trust to invite someone you've never met to come stay with you and just as much trust to accept! But, the rewards CAN be wonderful! Nick's one of the nicest people I've ever met and it would NEVER have happened if we didn't take a chance. To my mind, the gains far outstrip the losses.
Another question for you then. Take a hypothetical. You and I have been emailing/chatting on line for awhile. I'm in Illinois, your in Pennsylvania - a distance away. I invite you out to spend the weekend. I have an extra room so not a problem. Would you even contemplate doing something like that before 1st meeting in person? Because of the distances involved seems like a reasonable solution but trust REALLY enters into the equation here. Or would your 1st thought be "uh oh!!"
Think you misunderstood me, darlin. I meant moving in/staying with someone you hadn't met other than talking/emailing him/her for a while. I think most of us would move if you found the "one." Maybe thats just my inner voice speaking, tho.
The problem is all the S&L's/banks interconnected. Believe their more worried about a domino effect with other companies going down the tube also. Same thing or close to it happened in the 80's when Continental went BK.
Minimal down payment, monthly payment only the interest on the principal. Works fine when house values are increasing. But now, people are finding they owe more on the house then its worth as the value has dropped, in some cases by as much as 25/30%. In my town alone we have 3000 foreclosures with a lot of the people just walking away from their houses. Someone's brainchild that is coming back to bite all of us in the bum!
