I am happy because there is no point in living my life any other way. The journey will be the same; I can either make the most out of it or let it run me over.
I really thought he was gonna go for the young woman at first and it nearly broke my heart. Glad he had the integrity to stay - alot of men and women could take a lesson from this.
I think it is always possible to find someone to love deeply if you're willing to look hard enough and throw out all prejudices. It's very easy to look back on a previous relationship and think of how "perfect" it was. I have one of those old romances too, but being realistic and fast forwarding to who we each are now, it's obvious we never would've lasted. There's an old country song that says "what's meant to be will always find a way." So yes, I believe there is always a chance to meet someone for a long term loving relationship.
Let's say you meet someone online and he (or she for the guys) sounds interesting and attractive. But after a few emails, he starts sounding desperate and pleading, and angry at his ex for leaving him.
Now I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Part of me says he's just very lonely, another that he's too needy, and another says that he could be abusive. I'm thinking about continuing our emails just to get to know him more - hey, he could be having an off week. Maybe she really did him dirty and the pain is still fresh. But way in the back of my head, there's a little voice saying "Girl, stay away!" But I'm a really bad judge of character.
So if you were in a situation like this, what would you do?
A guy is forced to live in a remote Eskimo village but is having trouble interacting with the villagers. Finally he corners one of them and asks why they won't talk to him.
The villager responds that he has not been initiated as a man. He asks what do I have to do?
The villager says, first you have to drink 2 bottles of Russian Vodka, then you have to go into a cave and kill a polar bear with your bear hands, then to seal your induction into manhood you have to make love for 10 hours straight with one of our women.
The man says he will do it. That night there's a big party to initiate the stranger. Everyone sits around the fire and they pass him a bottle of Vodka. He downs about half without much trouble, bet the second half is much more difficult. Finally he finishes it, and they pass him another. He finally manages to finish off the second bottle and the crowd claps and sings. Then he tried to get up but fell over drunk.
The Chief picks him up and points him in the direction of the polar bear cave. He staggers over and climbs in. Suddenly there's a huge commotion from within the cave. Bears growling and him screaming and wailing in pain. Half an hour later he stumbles out of the cave, Torn to shreds, bloodied, and half dead. He turns to the crowd and drunkenly says,
Last week someone (on another site) emailed me and we sent a couple emails back and forth. Not once did he ever ask anything about me, even when I said "feel free to ask me anything." So I figure he's not interested and just being polite so I didn't respond to the last email. A few days later, he emails again asking if I'm okay since he hadn't heard back from me and gave me his offsite email. So I figure ok, and send a note to his offsite email. We've chatted back and forth all weekend, but guess what? He *still* hasn't asked me a single question!
And no I didn't put my lifestory in my profile or any of my emails, so there should be plenty of questions someone would ask if they wanted to get to know me.
My first thought was that he just wants a hookup, but after our emails this weekend, I really don't think so. He seems very polite, funny, down-to-earth, and hasn't mentioned meeting once. I'm baffled. What gives?! Do guys not normally ask women questions when they're getting to know them? Or do I just have another weirdo?
Haha, I'm not even close to perfect. I want to be and try to be, but know I never will be. The best I can do is strive to be the best person I can be by living morally and helping others as much as I can. We all have our trials and tribulations, and those make us who we are. Being smarter, richer, prettier, etc doesn't make one "perfect" or better than someone else. The day I begin to think myself better than anyone else, I no longer deserve to be on this earth.
If we really hit it off, I wouldn't have a problem with it. After a date once, the guy asked if he could kiss me on the cheek. It was quite sweet of him to ask so I let him, even though he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of a second date.
While this could be true, it could also bring her peace and solace to see you find true love. Mothers are like that - they just want their babies to be happy.
I wouldn't expect the place to be spotless, but it would be nice if he picked up enough to see the floor. Would hate to trip on the unseen and get lost and buried in a pile of rubble.
