You just go with it, but keep your head about you. Feel what you feel, and share it. But don't be stupid or impulsive in a way that feels like it is overboard.

I mean, my current situation with that ended abruptly and was a total shock to me, but I am grateful for every moment I felt it and went with my gut.

Sorry to hear that.

But I admire your perseverance....

In a way it gave me hope. Hope that there are guys who are smart and funny and fantabulous kissers and all that. But I just need to meet the one who is right for me and he wasn't it. I had a great friend tell me what was what when I was all blubbery yesterday morning. I needed that.

Sometimes, the best friends are the ones who will give you a kick in the ass when you need it.

Sorry to hear about it not working out Lilith.

Hard to imagine you blubbery! But we all have our moments....

I think about this stuff sometimes -- so many people in the world, you would think you could run into all kinds of suitable prospects just by accident....but it really doesn't work that way at all, not for so many of us....

Then somebody comes along who seems to fit, for awhile, but they turn out to be a little different -- maybe a lot different -- from the image of them that you started out with --

And you find yourself thinking "Who's next?" like it's some sort of audition or something. And maybe in some ways, it is....

Thanks, Guy. It's really okay.... I learned something about myself in the process and felt great during that short time. It was well worth it.

Everything that hurts winds up being worth the pain when it teaches you something about yourself. :-)

Lexy, I was blubbery. It was pathetic. But when I was presented with what I was actually crying about (not Cowboy Cop)... it made sense and the cry was well founded.

I think great sex is UNDERRATED.

All I know about this is the time that I had this huge instinctive feeling that the person I was with was the one, and went with it even though many thought I had lost my mind, it was the best decision of my life!

Pretty much what I did, although I confess I feel a bit like a jr high school age girl sometimes...completely smitten and it's ridiculous, but hey...what are you gonna do? Just enjoy the ride, I guess...knowing that it may just be a fast and furious roller coaster with an end in site.

Exactly... enjoy the ride. But be prepared for it not to work out the way you want.

I was enjoying the ride once......and then my tires got slashed.

It's never pathetic if you need to let it out.

Yes, that is true. I do learn more about myself every day. Now if I could just put that into action... in a positive, meaningful way that is.
