Sorry, but the dating game is not as cold and logical as you seem to make it out to be.
And as regards my reasons for not wishing to get into a guessing game with you at 12.50am on a Thursday morning, well, nothing sinister about that, my friend!!
I wish you good luck in your game of Dating Sudoko..
Romance is very important to me in a relationship. I absolutely adore it. I love being romantic to my guy, and I love being treated like a lady, and being wooed and courted.
Even when you have been together for a while, its so important to keep the romance going; if there's no romance, there's no magic, and you might as well be living with your brother or sister.
Its one of the things that I desire from my partner. I dont ask it of him, as he is either romatically inclined or he's not. Its not something that can be nagged into someone.
Thats true enough, but the thing is self assurance comes from within, ultimately. You can nurture and encourage anyone, but unless they find it in themselves, it will make no difference how much they are encouraged.
Its a Catch 22; to gain self confidence and self assurance, you have to put yourself out there, and take some risks. Constantly sitting back and letting other people speak or act will probably just make you feel more unassured in yourself.
Yes, some people can be bolshy and arrogant; which is not attractive. But being self confident is very different, and is the biggest aphrodisiac to a potential partner, I believe.
I think the biggest danger here on CS (especially now a lot more people are unemployed and have more time on their hands) is to use it purely as a means of general communication and company, rather than a means to find their potential partner. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using it that way, and I myself have made some very good friends here, both male and female.
But I do think that it can become a habitual thing, to log on in the morning for a bit of idle banter and a way to communicate and not feel alone. I myself do that, to a degree. I have to say if I was working I probably wouldnt be on here half as much.
Saying all that, my main reason for being here is still to hopefully find my future love, and God Willing, it will happen.
As long as you are happy using the site for whatever floats your boat, but see it for what it is, then it can only be an asset to your life.
One of the things I love most about being a couple is waking up in the morning, and the first thing you experience is feeling the body heat from your partner lying next to you. Watching them in complete naturalness when they are sleeping, for those few glorious, peaceful, innocent moments before they wake up and another day starts...
RE: I'm new!
Welcome to CS! Have fun, and enjoy the forums...
