Knowing there are some members who are insensitive and cruel has made me rethink posting personal experiences...
for me, i think it's mostly just because i'm awkward. also, i agree about the friends first thing, but most women don't so by the time i realize i'm interested, they've already moved on.
My great idea is just to meet someone and fall in love real quick and get married straight away all in a mad rush and the devil be damned. I'm through with the friendship thing.
Yeah, if you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it. I also don't like to force things (and I'm quite older than you and will maybe die alone)- Nothing good ever comes out of forcing what you don't feel.
If it happens, great. If not, oh well. I'm not too bothered You seem like a nice person, I am sure you'll be fine.
I agree completely Miss Daisy. I recently got divorced & lookin' back I think our first mistake was not gettin' to know each other proper like first. I need a gal who loves nature & enjoys the idea of a simple farm life & my ex was more about the party scene & city night life. Take your time you still got plenty of livin' left to do & a beautiful young gal like yourself is sure to find the right one for you.
Long-term goals trip up alot of couples. My advice is to have fun and explore different lifestyles before trying to settle into a happily ever after. You may very well settle for a simple life in the long run but you don't want to regret having not explored some experiences of "life in the fast lane". I think the more experience you expose yourself to the more likely you are to know yourself and to know what you value in life and in another person. I believe the biggest mistake is thinking that love conquers all. It does not. Compatibility is the most important thing in a relationship. Over the course of time, learn yourself; define your goals; don't mistake any of the high-flying emotions for something you can live with. Those things fade and you want to be left with someone you can live with after they do.
You won't regret holding to your standards. You're young. Guys are gonna be mostly jerks until about 35 or so. And then it's still 50/50. LOL. I'd rather be alone than settle for less than I know I need to devote my time to. Yeah we are alone for longer periods of time. But we save up for quality.
My Gramma always told me that if you want to find out what someone is like , take them camping. You'll then know how he/she takes to chores when plenty needs done.
