It takes me a long, long time to let down my "guard.".. I want to wait until I have a chance to see "all sides" to a man before I hand him my heart (and trust) on a "silver platter."...I may have feelings for someone but I'm not going to "leap" into anything prematurely...I probably view love like a soup or pasta sauce. It takes time for all the ingredients to "mix" and blend together...I don't want to rush the process... I won't talk about love until I feel totally comfortable with someone at all times...When I'm "sure" of who he really is...No "instant" or "overnight" love for me!


Yep; I agree with what she said. :thumbsup:


hi navygirl, good to see you back from your weekend away... flowerforyou


Thanks. It was fun and I found myself a great new job; so all is perfect in my little world. bigsmile


excellent news then...:thumbsup: will it be permanent?


Yes; its permanent and it's a supervisory job with a chance to move up the ladder; as well wearing blue jeans, and having my own office. Less hours and better hours so I can actually eat properly again rather than rushing from work to my other events.

Thanks Athena but no romance is not on the "to do" list as my bands and teaching keep me way too busy. I just can't be bothered and the reality is because I was never married; no one is going to bother with me anyways. It's all good though.

Its not so easy. Theres so much trust involved and by the time I can fall in love, hes done something to kill it.


So it Must be yu then, not him :smile:

Thats quite a rude assumption.

One nearly raped me, can't really call it that legally but it was very devasting to me never the less

The other one was a major alcoholic who was beginning to become physically agressive although I completely looked after him except his habit. I talked him into going to rehab and hes been dry for 4 years now. We are friends now

The last one I was in, he cheated on me while I was away for 6 weeks looking after my dying daughter. I spent thousands and my hard labor into renovating his house. He told me to leave the day before my daughters memorial service.

I'm not expecting any sympathy but if you don't know me then its not fair to make assumptions like that. Yes 2 sides to every story I know

Wow; I am sorry to hear all the crap you went through. I can understand why you are cautious about trusting. No one deserves that kind of crap in their life. I wish the best for you. flowerforyou

I don't blame you for being upset. He was completely out of line with his statement. Nothing I hate more than when someone who doesn't know anything about you to make a judgement like that.

What individuality or assets does another person have to possess before you are drawn to them in like? bigsmile

no one thing in particular. these things are as varied as the people i have loved.


Once making “like’s” emotional connection, how easily and quickly do your feelings progress to love? love :heart::heart: love

it's better measured by how deeply one loves, than how quickly.

Thankyou Athena, no need for you to apologize. Thats the risk one takes when they post publicly. I have a thick skin and realize that there are alot of very ignorant people in the world...and thankyou :)
