You're asking a question that needs a pretty accurate direction if you're needing it for your career. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to consult someone who is already in the profession of civil engineering or, speak with a professor at a university who teaches courses towards that degree, or in International Business.
My comment has nothing to do with the appearance of your reasoning for this thread.
You send a text to a woman who has a photo when you provide none yourself. You know you're attracted to her because she has a photo, yet she doesn't know the same about you, and ultimately, you fault her for wanting to know what you physically look like? You seem to want to know if she has a sense of humour yet, this doesn't seem about her... this seems about you and where you're at.
If you're truly serious about finding a woman who is not interested in first knowing if she is physically attracted to you, then simply only contact women who don't have photos. Perhaps then, the need to know if she has a sense of humour will have relevance.
To be honest, your question here seems quite pretentious, at best.
I share what's initially important and then for me, deeper sharing happens in the flow and synchronicity of unfolding.
The unfolding of one human being to another is dynamic and not necessarily about verbally disclosing something, per se; deeper layers are revealed in relationship, with self and other, over time...
revelation happens, and is a continuous sharing and quite frankly, a 'gifting,' one to another
I don't think it's about him, per se. It's about both of you, it seems. If you both "often act like" you're in a relationship... You are in relationship, (unless you're not)!
Have an open, direct, discussion about both of your behaviours (and feelings) and if it turns out you both truly don't wish to be in relationhip with one another then stop acting (out) like you're in one and start examining what's causing you to 'act like.' Ultimately, you clearly have no control over what he chooses to examine or not examine.
If I understand, you love one another and are able to be with one another in near every sense of the word... My suggestion would be to consider forsaking "social sanction" as, it is just that...
Instead, consider flowing with what the Spirit of Love tells you... IT will guide you as to how to "BE" with the Love that has been given you, that has been given her (well outside of social convention).
I have no sense this is a "social/cultural decision" as much as it may be a Spiritual Invitation to know The Depths Of Love... Given that sense, 'it' is just that... an invitation!
"How do you date someone who is great but damaged from past relationships"
At 49, admit and accept that you're no different... that we all have weaknesses and 'issues.' It's what you do with your issues that will most likely help you deterimine whether or not to continue on with this given relationship.
To be honest, it's hard to believe this poll is serious lol, but, nonetheless...
With all due respect, he most certainly did answer you... twice. The first time he said he wanted a longer courtship and the second time he stopped speaking... I'd say that's a definite 'No' on the proposal.
What's he thinking? If you felt comfortable enough to propose to him it might be helpful to directly ask him? We have no clue what's in his head. However it seems his verbal and nonverbal communication says a lot.
If he made it a point to tell you this after four months of dating it seems likely he's looking to push you to walk away, instead of him taking the onus of saying "I want out."
I would directly ask the guy I'm dating what his point is lol, although it seems relatively obvious.
Yes, it can and does happen... when we see something that goes well beyond our eyes vision... and in those instances, the knowing is just that, a knowing
After that, we do well to let time pass, getting to know the depth of another... if that's what we say we want.
I think you have attractive features yet it looks like you're hiding behind your hair.
Long hair can be quite nice on some guys. If you're going to keep it long, get an up to date trim/cut or pull it back. A men's ponytail can look great if you really take care of your hair and use some product to keep it tame.
If you're wondering how you might improve your profile picture, wear a nicer shirt for the photo, and smile. I'm sure you've got great eyes but alas, they're hiding. Women like to see a guy's eyes. That's pretty much across the board. Good luck to you.
RE: Capital punishment should be banned ??
Yes.I'm sure there are many ways of Knowing this Within The Core of our Being but, this Knowing can be solidified if and when we Soulfully work and walk inside the walls of any prison System.
