Great Saying.. just treating someone else the way you want them to treat you.

You meet someone who you really connect with intellectually, emotionally, and socially. You have so much in common it’s as if you’ve known each other for years, and can practically read each others minds. However, there are major points where you don’t agree, and as friends, you choose to overlook these differences, while keeping your distance physically.

As time goes by your friendship evolves, and your feelings do too. Before you realize it you become enamored with each other, something starts nagging at you both, and you want to get even closer, but still in the back of your mind, you know how different from each other that you really are.

Do you risk the connection you already have by taking things to the next level, be it deeper communication, via emails, texts, phone calls, eventually a face to face? Or do you listen to your subconscious that keeps warning you this might end badly, and steady the course you’re already on?

Keeping in mind that the chemistry now between you is gaining the upper hand, so if you decide not to take things further, do you think you’ll be able to handle the unchecked intensity, or would it be wiser to break off the relationship at this point, and chalk it up to two ships passing in the night?

OK, you met someone online. They seem nice on the phone and in email.
You decide to meet for lunch. How do you bring up who is going to pay
or if you are going to go dutch. What do you think?

Is this post really happening?

what women expect from men ? answer will be appreciated

It's really hard to tell when someone is actually over their last relationship though. If she slags her ex off to you then you think, "Okay, she doesn't love him and she doesn't want him". This has happened to me more than once when I met women through dating services. They tell you that they are having arguments with their ex and alarm bells ring. This person isn't just on the rebound. They are still involved with somebody.

Even when the ex is out of the picture someone might not have got over their last relationship. I had finished with somebody three years ago but I didn't date or meet anyone else until recently. When I did meet someone I kept comparing her to my ex. Even if you are slagging off your ex to someone new that you have met it is like you are saying, "My ex did these things to me and I don't want you to do the same. She was like that and I don't want you to be like that with me". You may be trying to avoid the same problems that you had in a previous relationship but the whole talking about your ex thing is a minefield. Going on about what women have done to you tells them that you don't really trust women. If there isn't trust in a relationship it won't work. You may be able to build that trust when you meet someone and get to know them or you may not. That takes communication and honesty. The problem is that we are not always even honest with ourselves.

Its not that easy in the military; especially on ship. You are in close quarters all the time with people and we put our lives in their hands. Of course we have a "no fraternizing" policy between enlisted, senior NCOs, and officers. Its put there for a reason as we have to keep order. Fact is when you enter into a relationship; there is about a 50 percent chance it will fail and then it makes it too difficult to work with that person. Then one of you feels obligated to quit; so really the best thing is just not get involved no matter how much sparkle there is. Its just not a logical thing to do and sometimes your common sense has to overcome your emotions.

Been there, done that....don't recommend it.... co-workers are always in your business looking for gossip. It makes it very hard for the relationship to go forward.
