Marriage means different things to different people. When I got married (a million years ago), I relaxed because I felt confident that my man really loved me if he was willing to marry me. Unfortunately, he got more uptight because he suddenly felt more responsibility as a provider (which was stupid because we were both working and had not even talked about having kids).
Anyway, sometimes it's a good thing, and sometimes not.
I agree with what you've said. But, I wouldn't mind paying (and have paid) when I know up-front that I will have to pay at least my portion of the bill, because I don't always have enough money with me to cover it.
I feel that if a man invites me out to dinner, he should pay. If I invite him over for a home cooked meal, I don't charge him for my grocery bill. In the end, it usually comes out even.
Are you kidding me?? I look bad enough WITH hair. Would never consider shaving my head for any reason. Will also say that I am not turned on by men who shave their heads either.
Did you decide if you're going to wear a mask or let her know who you are? I'm impressed that you are going out there and putting so much effort into meeting this lady. Good luck!!!! I'm thinking good thoughts for you..
Or maybe I just don't have the look that men want to see every day for the rest of their lives?
Yeah, I like your way of thinking....let's just put it down to bad luck. After reading many of your postings, I've often wondered why YOU were single too, so blaming it on luck seems to be the most reasonable avenue for us.
Oh yes, now I remember you saying that. Just so you know, vulnerable doesn't work for me because I've had to be so strong for the past 18 yrs. AND the men I seem to attract don't want to have to take care of anyone, they just want to have fun. I'm not afraid to show my vulnerability (I'm basically too honest to hide it), but they just don't think it's fun to take care of me - except in the bedroom.
I read everything you write to me, sweetie.... But mayhap I missed the one that told me how to have enough power over a man to make him forget there are other women ready and waiting for him too. And that is the ONLY power I would want to have over a man. I could never respect a man who let me walk all over him.
I agree somewhat. A person should never give up who they are to be with the person they love BUT, if you are in a relationship, you are part of a team (couple) and must also be able to put aside your individual way of thinking and doing things for the greater good of the team (couple) at times.
Right. You should never USE love and kids to weild a power over a man, but love and kids should be enough reason for a man to be happy with the woman he chose to love and have children with.
Jaygo1: I knew it wasn't an everlasting thing because he may have been my soulmate but I wasn't his. It was a very long time ago and he ended up marrying someone else. I never really got over him.
Don't really know what a vibrational level is, but I think it was just a case of 'You love her but she loves him, and he loves somebody else, you just can't win' as the song goes.

I was in love with someone I FELT was my soulmate because when I was with him, I felt that we were one complete entity and nothing or no one surrounding us could penetrate our universe. I don't know if it really had anything to do with an actual soul, or if it was just a term used to distinguish someone you have an unbelievable connection to, instead of just someone you are comfortable being with.
Well, if there are men like you around here, they hide it really well. Haven't met one yet that would put that much effort into dating me. Course maybe it's just me they're not interested in enough to go to that much trouble. Ah well, you've restored my faith in men so I'll keep hoping...
Agreed!!! A few minutes late, especially with a valid reason - as the OP had - should be okay with most people. BUT I wouldn't let it become a habit. You should just leave earlier if you're meeting in a strange town. Even a dry run the day before could have solved the problem. Would the OP have expected a prospective employer to tolerate 15 minutes late??? I think the woman deserves as much, or more, consideration and effort as a prospective employer. JMHO
RE: What are the most important traits in a man, in your opinion????
HONESTY!!!
