I've seen it done countless times, but never rolled one. I just reap the hazy benefits. I don't smoke often, and can't now since my job now does drug testing.
I just march full speed ahead into the pain. I literally devote a whole day or two if need be just bawling my eyes out, sniffling, snotting, etc. I play romantic and bittersweet songs on repeat and just let it all out(I even have a heartbreak playlist). I fought it once, and it took me forever to move on.
In the days that follow,I don't ignore the pain or my feelings, but I continue with life as usual, and take it moment by moment. This means that when I wake up I focus on JUST getting out of bed and getting in the shower. Then JUST getting dressed and getting to work, etc (this usually lasts a week or two). I continue to do this until one day, I'm doing it on auto pilot, if you will. From that point on, I have occasional sad\reflective moments, but I become dysfunctional or crabby.
There are only two occasions where I ever cried over a male. One was my first love, and the other was my ex fiancee. Of course there are are once in a blue moon reminders, but those things make me smile. I think about how far I've come, the good times, and what I learned.
I find it to be a one of the most respectful forms of address there is. It shows that someone was raised right when they use it to address a woman and I take it as a compliment when directed at me.
I am non athiest, in accordance with your explanation. However, I respect another person's choice to not believe. It all boils down to what resonates most with every individual.
Welcome to the world of online dating. Hopefully you will find the one you are looking for. If a woman doesn't answer you, then don't concern yourself, because she isn't interested. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time, worrying about women that don't answer my messages. To be fair, I'm sure you are not interested in every single woman that contacts you.
I used to respond to every message, even if it was to tell a guy that I wasn't interested. When my responses were the latter, I got a bunch of questions like 'whats your type', and 'why aren't you interested?' 'You should give me a chance'. The whole point of me telling a man that in not interested, is that I don't wanna have to email back and forth about why I don't want to be bothered. I've had to block people before because sometimes they become aggressive and rude. Don't even get me started on the scammers....
As a result, I only respond to men I am interested in. I am not obligated to answer every single message. In any case, happy hunting.
I will be honest and say that at this stage in my life, I am still selfish. I like to be the focus and for that reason I don't date anyone with children. As someone who was raised by a single parent, I know firsthand that kids always come first and I respect that. And there are also lots of other people who wouldn't mind dating a single parent, so they'd be a better match for someone with kids than I would be.I would never ask someone to put me before their children so I just date people without children so I can get the level of attention that I am used to.
