I get after what I want. I am relentless. I am persistent. I pursue.

I am however, aware of people's space. I do not want to pester or make anyone uncomfortable. I am by no means desperate either.

It's a bit of a fine line, isn't it?

Yep, thin line indeedy ... But as long as you know when to quit and accept that occasionally you'll fall flat on your face ... :tongue:

When I am "GETTING AFTER" what I want by communicating as clear and concise as I can , and feel I'm not being communicated back with, I get gone. (Perhaps I should not assume that most people understand general colloquialisms however.)

Oh. Apparently, Professor BeachSpeak WAS grading class, as it was he who introduced the lesson that he used "getting at" as an English language colloquialism.


Danged Mr. Merriam and Mr. Webster...making people who actually understand the books they've written so "smart" and virtually such a pain in the arse for others while communicating online utilizing the written word.

whoa

I am pretty laid back myself. When I was in relationships; I didn't get jealous, possesive, controling, or demanding which I which I thought a guy would love. Instead; the guy(s) took it as I didn't care about them. Seems you just can't win either way.


Did you expect the same in return?


Yep. Guys need to relax and not get so upset over silly little things. I always believed if no one got hurt or killed; it can be fixed. Life is too short to be so uptight.

Please don't take it the wrong way, but you always make it sound like all men are wrong, a-holes etc. and you always do / did the right thing. It's not a one way street... You have had your part in how things went just the same.
What you're conveying with your last posting is basically "Men NEED to do this, the SHOULD do that, they HAVE to feel/behave/respond/act this and that way or else .. "
A lot of women subconsciously attract the wrong men for them - not per say a really bad guy, just not the right one for them - so they can hold on to their own garbage, complain and point fingers. They attract men that confirm their convictions, so they themselves don't have to change --> Ppl in general subconsciously fear change.

How can you find love if you don't open up, work on yourself, and allow a guy some space to be him?

Goes for men who do this to women just the same of course...


Where are getting this from? All I said I was laid back. I never ever have said a man needs to do anything. In fact; it is just the opposite. When I was dating a guy; he can do whatever he wants. I don't make him call me when he is out, make him accountable, I let him break dates with me if he wants to do something else, I don't force him to work around my home, I don't make him accompany me to events if he dislikes them. I have never made a man do anything that makes him uncomfortable. As I said; I am laid back. But whatever. I already stated many times that I am the reason that relationships don't work. I freely admit its always beem my fault because I refuse to get upset over little things. I have lived a life full of hardships and seen more death than I care to; so no I am not going to fly off the handle if a man doesn't call me, or a woman is flirting with him, or he doesn't want to accompany me to an event, or breaks a date with me. When I say someone needs to chill out; it is just a suggestion; not a demand. You are reading way to much into my comments. I simply think there is too much stress in life and this is why we all need to chill out. These things I mentioned aren't life and death; so why get upset over silly things? Your comments are only a reminder that I am way happier being single as I simply don't need the stress of being in a relationship. Also; if you know all the answers; how come you are still single?

I will also add Crystal that I am still friends with all my ex-boyfriends. We still talk, email, do each other favours. Just recently I helped an ex-boyfriend with a job that he couldn't do on his own. So, if I am this horrible person that you make me out to be; why do they stay in contact with me? Despite the differences we had in our relationships; we always forgave each other. I even forgave the guy that hit me in the neck and has given me chronic neck pain for the rest of my life. Maybe you shouldn't make assumptions about people before you know anything about them.

if how one DOES IT, all with many theories and ways, has procured for one self all it self wants, than the attainment it self show proper method to attain was used...

if one has not yet acquired what it self want in all ways, than does not lack of self attainment indicate better methods of how to attain be wise and even required to create a "different result".

to have immediately what one wants that does not go away or cease, there can be no existence of "get" mentality in the original method of attaining.

two "gets" together produce even less "getting", and sure failure of getting even more quickly be created.
