Partially agree with you, certainly Eastern European women are on the whole very beautiful, but when compared to a beautiful english rose even they pale by comparison.
yes it can be somewhat confusing for a child with that background, my mother is also Jewish, and has told me about her families Christmas, sadly I never got to experience that as her had parents passed on.
But I think its wonderful that you continue and create your own traditions
When my lady was about to visit me, we agree to be completely and utterly honest about our feelings, that should that spark or whatever be missing we would say so, no offence would be taken and that the visit would still continue as friends.
Happily when we met at the airport we just looked at each other, fell into a hug and the rest got better,
My point is, that if you are connected well enough to contemplate a meeting then honesty has to be at the forefront.
Exactly my point, the receiving of presents has overtaken the giving of love and kindness, which was what I was taught as a child, was the whole idea of Christmas.
If you don't take the risk you will forever live with the thought "what if", if the initial contact has created a special bond, then I would say go for it, you can sort out the semantics later if the spark is there for you both, if its missing well, yes you have a friend, but, it will not be the same kind of friendship, at least thats what I think, I have met some women from here who seemed ideal, but the spark was missing, some I still keep in touch with, others have faded away,but stay as a lovely memory.
yes you're right, but why HJ, every year peole complain about the commercialism of Christmas, yet it just gets worse.
Thankfully there are still some countries left that uphold the true traditions, Eastern Europe for example and surprisingly Russia, who were deprived of Religion completely for such a long time, but now embrace it, all be it on Jan 7th
My parents spent 15 years in Kenya, it was a wonderful place to grow up as a child, my parents celebrate their 68th wedding anniversary this Christmas, but would never return to Nairobi, it has changed too much and not for the good, my fathers business partner still lives there but comes over to the UK at Christmas time, they have a get-together which they have done since before I was born, one tradition that has weathered the changes of time but still continues, thank God.
Sadly here in England the true meaning of Christmas has been buried by political correctness, I had my 3 year old daughter with me yesterday, and I was really saddened to hear that the did not have a nativity at her nursery.
I am not a Christian in the full sense of the word, but there is something truly wonderful to go and watch your young children act out the nativity, dressed as a wise man or an angel, the smell of incense mixed with school makeup, it makes the hardest of us wet at the eye.
But, on returning my child to her mother I was told that because there was a mixture of religious faiths within the nursery, it was decided that it could cause offense to perform the nativity. The world has gone mad, it was fine earlier in Nov to celebrate Diwali, but what can we do ? Now I just see Christmas as a time for Coka Cola to get free advertising and to see children spending Boxing day boasting to neighbours that they got more gifts than them.
I have truly wonderful memories of Christmas’s as a child real quality time spent with my family, as a very young child we spent Christmas in Mombassa, on the beach, memories I shall never ever forget. And when we moved to England, Christmas lunch at my Grandfathers house, a huge table laid out for his entire family and grandchildren, sitting on his lap afterwards as he told me stories of his childhood.
Exactly, thats the whole point, to enhance a view, or show maybe that a statement is tongue in cheek, but when used in a malicious or condescending fashion then it just shows an ignorance of our beautiful language.
With regards to the OP I can understand her spelling difficulties, English ia a hard language to learn, you only have to look at some for whom it is their first language to see that, and some can only use emotions as they have yet to grasp the alphabet let alone spelling.
For Claudya, and no offence please is intended.
Loose is the word opposite to tight, as in, to loose the top of a jar, untighten
Lose is opposite to find as in, lose your heart when finding love
Loss is opposite to found as in, it was her loss that I found my love
Differ all you want, I was referring to a previous thread in which the word DEAR was used and inferred a lack of intelligence, when this was pointed out, politely, the OP refused to acknowledge that sometimes it can have quite the opposite meaning to that to which it as intended. and that further one should not mind if that was interpreted that way, I was pointing out that that when the same thing occurred in reverse, the OP was upset by the use of the word "girl". It was not a grudge, more that I was helping someone to further their knowledge in the use of English.
I was trying to have a genuine debate regarding the original post, but was never allowed to do so.
I never attempted to argue with you Claudya, just to debate the topic of the thread, that you choose to think I was arguing with you personally shows a lack of understanding regarding debating, you put forward a premiss, I asked for more details and placed my point of view. Just because i may not agree with everything you say does not mean I wish to create an argument.
And please, don't use Capitols, it is regarded that when using them you are shouting.
It would be interesting to know how you view Mircea Eliade
I am sorry, but it is quite impossible to actually have a debate with you Claudya, you are condescending in the extreme, of course I understand philosophical statements, I an not Ignorant, I also know that Mircea Eliade is a Romanian author scholar and philosopher and a right wing fascist who has had much written about regarding his dubious collusions during the second word war, a particularly unpleasant character in my opinion.
I have attempted, very politely, to engage with you in a debate on whether there are winners and losers when associated with love, you have not once replied to any of my questions, but instead have attempted to try and make out that I have failed to understand the original concept of your first post.
I fail to understand why some who professes to be so well educated, cannot hold a simple conversation without become embroiled in pretty semantics.
The loses to children has nothing to do with your original quotation, If you don't wish to answer me question thats fine, but just say so, don't just move the debate to a different platform.
I have asked, a very straight forward question, what do they lose?
When you enter a relationship, do you do so with the concept of racing each other to see who can be the first to walk away??
No?
So therefore its not a competition, ipso facto there are no winners or losers.
So explain what they both lose? one may lose their love from their partner, but the other partner has obviously gained something else to have made them leave in the first place
If there are children as a result of the relationship, then they have both gained.
I was not replying to your op, but to your reply, in which you stated and I quote "yes ,correct if they love each other a lot and know to keep their relation if not both loose"
I was trying to point out that both would not loose, what ever happened to the relationship one at least would still have gained.

RE: What signals do you look for guys?
Unpacking the suitcase and putting her stuff into draws is usually just about enough to let me know things are progressing in the right direction.
