Oh my god, there's a nubie in the house! Welcome to CS. Be honest with yourself when writing your profile. We men are simple minded, so keep it simple. If we see a book, we'll run! Put up a pic. Even if it is not really you. We like to visualize who we are talking to. Your pic would be better though! Good luck, have fun. Welcome.
My favorite line from Gump, "Stupid is what stupid does." Love is from the heart, not the brain. So yes, a stupid person can know what love is. Look at me!
Wow, this is just the issue I'm dealing with. Do not get involved with anyone right away. Give yourself time to sort through all the crap that ended your marriage. You don't want to bring that into your next relationship. If you hook up with someone too soon it becaomes a rebound. They don't last long and end in anger, for the most part. You need time to heal. Hang with friends. Lean on them for support. I'm two years into my seperation. Divorce pending finacial crap. But at this point I can start giving love to someone else. I did not have that in me even 6mos. ago. If you find the right one before divorce, hope she understands where you are in life and can roll with that. Because that is where I'am right now also. Thank God she is the most beautiful person to ever walk the shores of this earth! But, give yourself time to heal so you can bring little of the baggage into your next relationship. 'Soulmates' are out there. I know, I did a flip-flop on that subject, because now I BELIEVE! Have patience, heal yourself, sort thru all the crap and you'll have the most to give back to the one. Love yourself! Best to you.
Thankyou Cat, This feels so different than when I've fallen in the past. She is a very special person. I saw that right away! Couldn't take the chance of letting her get away. We both sort of made the move at same time. It's meant to be.
If your are self contained, then others can only inflict a temporary pain. Your strength will help you heal. Finally finding that right one is well worth it. Peace and happiness to you.
But, you might strike paydirt and find your true mate. Would the pain be worth it. We'll go through operations and pain to achieve good health. We have to go thru pain sometimes to find the one. Relax, love yourself, love your life. Be happy and content with what you have and who you are. If you are not, then you have work to do before you can give love to another. You can not give what you do not have. If they are here they will find you.
I know. I've been in two marriages where this has happened. Once by me, the other her. I'll be damned if I'll let it happen again. Atleast not on my part.
I feel the same as you. Being open can lead to hurt. But, having someone in your life to share all things and love you inspite of your faults or difference of opinion is worth all the pain. The only way to capture each others heart, is to be open. When you hide something, or are not truthful about how you feel, then walls in your heart start growing.
Spring! We have 6 more weeks of winter here. That damn groundhog saw his shadow again! I swear, next year I'm blocking the sun. I love it when the animals get all fired up about the change coming in the weather. Great borometers they are. I really envy you nad Lboy. Sorry Loverboy, I just can't bring my self to call another man lover. Lboy it is. I quess it is one of my hangups. My favorite memories of childhood is the farm.
Sounds like you have been hurt. Just remember, the bible was writen by men in a patriarchal society. Women were nothing more than second class citizens. A possession. I wouldn't want a docile person to follow me around ten steps behind me. We have dogs to do that. I want her next to me, forging our way through life as a team, not following me where I go. If you really want that type of women, than I suggest you join JWs. That is just how they treat their women. Like docile puppies. Ofcourse they will be misrable and unhappy, depressed. But, they won't complain about it.
