Every relationship takes effort. LDRs can last and turn into a permanent relationship, it just takes more effort to reach that point.

Do I believe in an emotion called love that just drives two people together and magically holds them there? No. Love is the act of constantly rekindling your feelings of affection towards your partner and not letting those feelings die out. Love is a choice, it takes dedication and hard work to make it work.

Imagine two wells, one full and one empty. The full well represents your capacity to love and the empty well represents your love for a particular person. The act of love is to take water from the full well and move it to the empty well with a bucket. Every day, you have to take that bucket of water from the full well to the empty well. Some days, it will be easy and the bucket will be huge. Some days it will be hard and the bucket will be the size of a teaspoon. Each of those buckets don't amount to much by themselves, but in time what started as infatuation will become so much richer and deeper than you ever expected it could be. All that it takes is hard work.

Love is the conscience effort to remain infatuated with the same person. It used to be that everyone did that, they picked a mate and made the relationship work. Today, divorce is too easy and people break up too freely. People expect love to come naturally and freely and that is just not the reality.

Yes, I did.

You are talking wants now, not needs. Need in this case would be the absolute necessity for sustaining life. You could live in a coffin. You wouldn't have enough room for your things, you wouldn't be comfortable, but you could live. You are talking about quality of life, which is where wants come in. You want more space. You want closets for your clothes.

That's why I am uncomfortable with that word.

I don't think I've seen those commercials, I watch all my TV / Movies via digital streaming, so I don't have to watch commercials. Even chances that some Government money (ie your taxes) went to help pay for that commercial.

The word "need" sets my teeth on edge, especially when it's used with an indefinite pronoun. I suppose to live, we only need a coffin sized space. A more relevant question would be "How much space do you want?" or better yet "How much space can you afford?"

If God has been directing me, He's got some 'splainin' to do.

Sorry man, but I'm only interested in women.

Can't wait to get moved into my new apartment.

No, I've never experienced that, but I'm sorry for your loss or rather your new awareness of your loss.

Absolutely, there are some things that I would be happier not knowing.

That's a song? I was just saying what girls like.

The problem with having fun is that sometimes You gotta fight, for your right, to paaaaaaaaaarty! You gotta fight.

I'm jealous that the sun will be kissing you in six months.

But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

He was angry at how the crowd took that statement, which was the lead-in to the joke of "I want to set the record straight, Michelle outdoes me in pushups as well."



Nope, you didn't transcribe that correctly. See what I wrote above.

The Marines are amazing people. That is a touching and inspiring story.

I had the same thought.

There's that and you could change your orientation to looking for a man, I would like your profile more then.

Keep your chins up ladies, I'll be over 40 next year.
