I am a cut up but no so much a flirt in a relationship or not. And I am the first to tell people if you are busy flirting with all and sundry don't expect serious attention from me other than friendship. If you have committed to trying a relationship with someone then flirting should be put to the side while you explore that relationship. In short I feel that the time and attention should be spent on the relationship and not all and sundry. I am not saying that you should neglect friends and pals but I think it should be toned down from flirting to friends only. I have passed on a couple of really great guys for this basic reason. They are flirts and it isn't going to change. But my feelings about the situation isn't going to change either. And it isn't a jealousy issue so much as it's a respect issue. If you have respect for the person you are with why would you want to embarrass or humiliate them by paying attention to someone else in a non friend manner especially in public?

Hugzzzzzzzzzzz Patty and Happy belated Birthday. I didn't get into your birthday thread to tell you so~ May all your dreams come true~

Hello, I'm Destiny. Some already know me but I have been on hiatus. If not it's nice to meet you all. I tend to be a bit on the serious side but do have a killer sarcastic sense of humor if you get me going.

Disregard the digits
unless directed at the phone
for all you lovely people
who are single and alone
come on out and visit
make a friend and share a smile
don't dress or impress
just let us see your style
be yourself that's all it takes
when you mingle with the crew
no one bites but we do nibble
and opinions are not rare
but the people with whom I mingle
I know they all do care~

Very well done. I think more people should be up front about what they will/will not tolerate and not make people find out some where down the line that there are ISSUES. It showed humor, respect, and intelligence all high priorities. Good Job!!!! And welcome to the crew~

I think the answer to this is both yes and no. I think it is very possible to do but not possible to maintain for any length of time. Physical contact is what most of us use to show affection, not to mention sexual gratification. And while I don't agree that physical beauty is the only basis for physical attraction if you aren't attracted to someone you love in a physical sense it isn't a romantic love but a platonic one.

When you decide that your date really needs a second bag~

When you are over 2 years of age and can't go to sleep without your bottle.

bedroom eyes, a wicked smile, a confident attitude but not cocky, being able to laugh with them

We are supposed to do something with them after the fact? Isn't making them exes enough?

Not so, and yes I can say this with certainty at least in my case. I have a scar on the back of my leg where I caught a rebound 38 slug pushing someone out of the way of a robber at a quick stop...wrong place wrong time...but I lived it might not have gone that way but for certain the other person would have died at that range. But you are right about instinct telling you what to do but instinct does not always tell you to protect yourself.

*grin* would this be a proposal, a proposition, or are you planning a corporate merger?

I don't believe it would be your own survival instinct that would be the issue. It is a matter of being able to sacrifice of yourself in order to protect or promote someone's interests instead of your own. This doesn't even have to be a life threatening incident to be tough for some people. ~shrugs~

YES

Destiny

Why would you let anything anyone else said to you insult you? Hold your head high as well as your own belief in yourself and nothing negative that anyone else says has the power to wound or offend. Be aware of your own self worth!!!!!

Neither. Their actions might give me some clue into their morals their reactions could give me some clue into their emotional stability and how grounded they are but their character can only be known over the test of time as it is a combination of all of the above.

Broken nudge? That will teach you to push people around lol

To lose someone you love is carelessness .....To throw them away is stupidity~
