It ain't easy Doll. Not for any of us.

But, the best thing you can do for you is to be true to you...everything else will fall into place Babe.

Take the word of an old fart on this one.

I'll tell you this, they always say live your life but keep your eyes open. Ok...its just near impossible to do both and not to mention a confusing way to handle it. I prefer to live but I also want to do the other. Its incredibly hard to completely do both. You either do one or the other sometimes...for me...

It get's easier as you get older. Take my word on this Doll.

This may sound crude,,lol,but the only sure way to feel good with YOU and not be hurt,,,is to THINK,,,,all the way through meeting them and going out with them,,that THEY are only wanting a piece of ya,,and then say GOODBYE...and WITHIN THAT THINKING PROCESS,,Everything you go through in doing WITH THEM,,is something that will not AFFECT your heart for or against IT!
THEN,,,,IF,,,they show you MORE of a kind nature about the way they talk to you or want to be with you all the time after making love with them,,,then ,,,and only THEN,,,,lol,open up a little more to TRUST them,,,Because BEFORE YOU BOTH SHARE INTIMACIES,,,ANYTHING
Can be an ACT,,,BUT,,AFTERWORDS,,,its there,,,or its not?
And if ONLY one feels THAT,,,most times,,ONE WILL BE THE ONLY ONE TO FALL..So you need to pace your self,,and go slow and see sex as something you wanted to have with them,,no big deal,,BUT,,not allow THAT alone to rule your feelings inside,,,as its the SHARING EVERYTHING TOGETHER THAT PROVES ALL THAT...and IF it goes there,,then its locked in to DO and be a part of each others worlds,,and walk that walk again...
But at least,,YOU tried to keep the right thoughts going into it,,to keep your heart in check,,long enough to really feel and see his heart and mind he has for you,,,really..
Thats my best for ya...Then again,,,thats ONLY if you can even follow my type and thoughts here in this,,,,lol,,I lose many..:)

^ That reminds me of something my mom always said to me. I guess it does work but who knows? I won't know anything if I'm closed off and scared of people which is what I don't want to turn into.

Well,,you could have at least said ,,something YOUR DAD always told ya

Just kidding,,,
Loving someone else SHOULDN'T ever be a HARD thing to do,,and falling for everyone who wants you,,will have you living in tears,,SO the medium,,,is a hard place to be,,and find?

Just pretend YOUR one of them dudes who you have already had the pleasure of knowing,,,and then YOUR be the user,,,,,LOL

Life is a fickle miss of passions unfolding...
