Very good reply!! I actually moved away too. At first the pain is still going to be there - no matter what - especially if you truly loved your mate.
But, in time, this too will go away. It's never easy, however, it will make you stronger. Chin up!

Look...I swear...I was passing thru and just had to stop at the IndnPrncs topic because I wanted to know what a real one looked like; IndnPrncs that is.
So...while reading the posts and minding my own business, I noticed the continuing downward spiral and transition of the posts from IndnPrncs being "on top" to fifjones getting stomped on her forehead when she plays with her "wiiwii".

If IndnPrncs wants to be on "top", by all means do so. And fifi, shame girl, you know what they say about playin with your wiiwii!!

What is "unconditional love", and, who does it apply too? Everyone? Or just our family - mates/partners/lovers included?

I believe once those questions are answered, the next question should be, "Can we truly handle the responsibility of unconditional love?"

It's not a matter of whether it can or cannot "be" or "exist" in this time and age. Of course it can, and does.
It's a matter of accepting a very common-sense truth: We are all different from each other, yet, we're the same. We all, everyone of us, have fears, hopes, dreams, wants, needs, etc... And we are all imperfect to some degree or another.
If it's possible to "unconditionally" love people in your circle of family and friends, over-looking their "imperfections", why then be so critical of the rest of the world?

Can you truly love your mate/partner/lover unconditionally? It is really a remarkable thing to love your lover unconditionally. With-out condition; do what you want, go where you want, leave/return when you want, be who/what you want, etc...

To love someone so much, never judging, never expecting, always accepting can be difficult. There are many "influences" that need consideration.
This may lead to the "follow-up" question: Does everyone deserve unconditional love?

I'm kind of simple, I suppose....

I have no expectations out of any one. I'm looking for friends - one of which to be my "best" friend. How hard can that be, huh? lol

Apparently hard!! Ha ha ha

That lesson happen almost 20 years ago. And, no, it didn't break us up, but, it was a really hard period of my life. My "girl" at the time was the mother of my children.
It was other factors that broke us apart.

I don't know if this topic has been covered already, but, I only thought it fair to ask because the same question had been asked of men.

I hear that! Sinister avatar, BTW.

There is a lot of very good commentary on here about the topic.

Once I cheated on a girl that I was in a long relationship with. I think I cheated just to see if I could get the "hot chick". It was something stupid like that.

Anyway, my girl found out about it and was crushed!! I never had a woman break-down emotionally like that before and it shocked me.
That was when I realized the impact my actions - my selfish actions - had on another human being. It was a painful lesson.

I am grateful for having learned from it and grown. I have never cheated since.

So there you have it. For me, it was "selfish pride" that made me cheat.

Is there a point to where you just stop looking for a date? If that's so, then why are there "dating" sites?

Sure, the social thing is all well and good, but, really, I'd like to make good friends that I can hang-out with AND find one that will be my "best" friend.
I know it takes time - but, how much is enough?

Life IS drama. We just have to ask ourselves at which point are we going to draw the line?

Nope...not today...

Huntingdon area here!

Thank you ladies. That's how I feel about women. I've got nothing to hide; at my age why should I?

I love a woman who is classy, yet not afraid to play in the mud. I love a woman's ability to carry life and give birth. I love a woman's nurturing instincts, their gentleness, their caring.

I love in women their ability to bring life into this world; their ability to love fiercely; their ability to fight mercilessly for those they love; their strengths and weaknesses; and the moment that she shines her brightest.

Well, I'm 44, so for me any woman younger than 30 is pushing it. I think that anything over a 10 - 15 year difference in age is about the max.

I confess...that this thread is almost ridiculous...ha ha ha

I love to go to Native American pow-wows. I also love playing guitar and writing music.

Thinking that I really don't know what the heck to do here...lol. So new to this dating/meeting people thing.
