Oh I agree with YOU 100%. It seems to be very hard to make friends and/or meet someone special to date in the Twin Cities. If you find any good solutions, would you PLEASE let me know? We really need to help each other out.
I hear you, and I believe I understand. I have no good answer. It helps with my loneliness to participate in the forums. If not for them, I'm not sure what I would do...
I am curious what she has told you as to WHY she will not supply a photo.
Does she have no way to do so? Suggest she scan one at a library or at a friend's or family if she has no way. Where there's a will, there is a way!
Is she afraid to put it on a website? If so, she could email it to you personally.
The camera phone is another good option.
Does she think it is shallow of you to ask? I personally am not shallow, but I would find it kind of creepy if a man refused to let me see a pic before we meet. (not sure why. I just would)
Does she say she wants it to be a surprise? Not sure how I'd feel about that.
What has she said, when you ask her for a picture??? I seem to have missed that part.
Therapy can't work if you aren't open. I'm not sure what happened with the other Therapists, but hopefully this time you will get a better one. They're not all the same. If you start to get a feeling something is taking a turn south, and it is the same place you had problems last time, maybe you need to discuss that with the therapist. Tell him or her you have run into problems with this particular issue before, and maybe it will be a turning point.
Reinforce GOOD behavior. Make a big deal about the things he does right (like letting you know he has to go) PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE!!!
Patience. All children train at different paces, so don't be discouraged just because he's not where others are. You can be concerned if he gets to age 5 and still not trained. But for now, just be patient.
Just what I have heard from many over the years...
I believe it was John Gray that explained the Emotional Bank Account though. It's a very helpful tool in visualizing why a person may feel unfulfilled in a relationship.
I don't think all men are from mars...or all women are from venus...so it's hard to answer. Obviously we have differences, and most of them should be accepted and respected. Some things people can change about themselves though, and not all things need to be explained away by it's in my DNA.
Well I am only speaking from my own personal experience. I am 50 & it has no one has loved me near equally yet. I can hope & pray that I find someone who loves me equally or more. But to seriously say I would not love anyone who does not love me equally IMO is setting my self up to be single forever. On the other hand I am not willing to settle for less than I deserve, and have been looking for nearly 11 years now. My standards are high, and it's complicated.
