Good people always come into my life. But I am just not ready for looking for more right now. And besides....no one can contain me. Muwhahahahahahahahaha!

The eternal stud!

I wouldn't know. I closed the door to my life years ago and boarded it up, painted over it, and added art. Now I can't remember where the damn thing is, and despite a rare knock at it, I can't tell who lurks outside, good or bad. I suppose eventually I'll open it, but for now, nobody enters. When I do, I'm sure I'll be a tad bit apprehensive. You'd be a fool not to approach a fire with some trepidation if you've been burned repeatedly.

I wish you the best in your new relationship. Good people should be happy, and you certainly fit in that category girl. I lurk. I know these things.

Nothing wrong with lurking! Thanks!

Oh you love me!!!

Always have and always will... you pain in the @$$!

I accept no responsibility to being this pain in the arse that you speak of.

Yeah, I don't know what it is about that specific interval, but it ALWAYS works that way for me....

I guess it takes 3 months for someone to work up the nerve to try to CHANGE someone else....? I don't know; if I thought someone needed changing that badly, I wouldn't have gotten involved in the first place....

Thanks, I'd like to think so, too....

The short answer is "no, I don't."

The long answer is: Look at it this way. Say you have had 5 previous relationships that all ended in failure for whatever reason. Does that mean this new 6th one is going to go bad too? No, of course not, unless you are expecting it to fail and you have that mindset.

Love involves so many things, one of them being risk. Yes, there is always a risk, but if you don't open up your heart and take that chance with someone someday, you might not really truly be happy. There are many that need another person in their lives that need another to complete them, to be stronger together, than you were apart.

Love is also wisdom, adaptabilty, a desire to change, grow, and learn. A desire for compassion, and even a little humility, not putting yourself first all the time. So for me, I have never been "scared" or uneasy to enter into a new relationship, it's a fresh start and you don't really know how it's going to turn out. I prefer to think that this time, it will be the "one," and it just took a while for me to find them. And when it all goes so right, like you were meant to be together, you are truly blessed and happy that you took the chance to fall in love again.

No worries about me taking a chance on falling in love.... I have never been one to be jaded. My personality lends me to ask a lot of questions and to be very analytical at times.

True, mostly or partly, but true. Just remember sometimes people can overthink things or be too critical or too sensitive. But I think you mean, you lay the foundation early in communication with the other person about what your expectations are, and what you have to offer them to make things work, and be happy together. Yes, those long chats at the beginning do help, and may prevent against any surprises that may come down the pike later on. So yes, I think communication is very important early on. It helps build a stronger foundation in any relationship.

Yep!

Kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop, but silence as far as that goes for me right now, and its been 9 months now.
Enjoyed a wonderful day with my GF yesterday.

Life is good!!!

I am so excited for you two!

Here's to either of us never hearing the shoe go flying and drop!

You know I kinda felt that way until someone sent me an email asking me a question about something I'd posted. Made me realize I can't judge all relationships on a few. When I think of past relationships I realize it may have been the type of guys I fall for. I don't want to take that excess baggage into another relationship. Now, I feel more confidant that I can go into a relationship & accept it for what it is & not judge that person because of the last. That's not fair to the other party.

Thats a hard question for me because i meet someone and in about a month i get bored with them i think its best if i stay single

Nah, I always maintain an equilibrium of not judging another, nor myself, by the past events or people ...

... Nor allowing myself to project lingering shadows from the past on the present or future ...

Clean slate, new day ... Fresh air ... Walk on ... Works for me, anyway!

Trust yourself ...

Congrats, and best of good luck and blessings ...

I'll second that! It's always been the 3-6 month range, with 3 being the usual.
