I was raised by that and live by that as well.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Now a days it seems do unto others before they can do unto you and it drives me batty honestly >.<

I will definitely die alone haha, I stick with my principles. I will never change who I am in order to appease, nor would I ask that of anyone.
Love the Patch by the way. Semper Fidelis

Thank you Klc and I definitely did take away from that that yes moderation would be a very highly valuable thing.

Then again if my Greatest sin in life is complimenting a lady and thanking her for an amazing evening. I think I could live with that. Just have to find one that appreciates it and understands that is my purpose and reasoning. As for the rest it does go a little too far and out of context for who I am my main thing is the whole poem bit and of coarse the added thank you bit.

I second that.

Perhaps I am guilty as charged and thank you for sharing that, I have never seen it that way, definitely a flaw on my part that I should address. I truly appreciate that input.

I think in a way Gentlemen are dying off as well since it is becoming so openly accepted that females should give themselves so easily and act as society wants them too as well. It could be a reason for pulling away from the true meaning of sharing that true friendship and mutual respect in a relationship instead of just having fun with one nighters and intimate encounters as they are called. It is definitely becoming more likely to meet someone temporarily then it is to meet someone decent for the long haul.

Yeah we tend to change as we get older you know we actually gain priorities that outweigh our older habits lol. I think what kills me the most is I matured ahead of my time. You know I have been with women of all ages and all the way up through the 30 year olds they have always been partiers and just bad compliments to my person.
I am very success and career oriented.

Yeah I am kinda Screwed in that department it is in my nature lol, I wear it on my sleeve and yeah no need to say more lol.

Yeah they can, I have that problem myself which is why I will not sleep with someone until I am comfortable with their overall intentions lol. I am screwed once I have slept with someone in my Heart that is truly sealing the deal >.< it screws me a lot seeing how it seems more people are about partying and sex now a day than having a good positive relationship :( it makes life hell trying to find someone lol.

I agree it is much easier to take a calculated chance at a perceived failure then it is approach something that seems true as it leads to the fear of the pain involved with unexpected failure. So inherently commitment drives fear into more hearts than anything else as it comes with a price you have to give your heart, and although you may say you are ready truly ready deep down inside you are not :),thank you for giving me food for thought.

I have this feeling that in some deep valley of the human subconscious although one may say they are looking for something solid and committal they inevitably encounter some form of fear when they find it and it always causes them pause especially when the willingness to commit is so strong and the chemistry is as well. That would lend to give good reasoning for something like that. Thank you for sharing that with me I appreciate it.

I did not mean for this post to be about examining my experience with a fine tooth comb lol more so I was hoping to find others experiencing the same situations and have a like minded conversation with them. To give you further insight on the Message that set the woman off I was talking with it just stated that I have never felt such strong feelings for nor such passion in a kiss from another woman as I did her that night. I don't see inconsiderate, possibly creepy as I am showing emotion maybe sooner than I should. So I am sorry this got so off topic and a bit odd and I do appreciate the advice KC and would welcome any more you may have to offer however this was not my intention for this post. I possibly could have worded it a bit better.

I would not disagree with the likely hood of that it does seem I tend to do so and that really baffles me. And of all things I would never consider myself to be inconsiderate. I have never made any comments that could even approach being inconsiderate or of a bad nature nor of any false nature.

I would like posts but please leave the avarice at the door my friend, it is never good to speak in such manners.

Not really I came to terms with the decision she made and am fine with it. I am still seeking more actively to find that special someone but I would think it is all part of getting to know someone learning their quirks and full personality

I can see that, yet is it truly bad to send a little note of affection after what would seem to be an amazing evening as a thank you. I guess my question is why is it always seen as way too much instead of taking it with strides and saying well that may just be who this person is. Is it truly out of bad experiences in the persons past or is it out of fear that they may be sincere. That would also fall into the category of getting to know a person. Not too mention we all know boundaries are there, if you perceive someone as passing them why not say so instead of immediately giving up on them. It would seem to be much more logical in the end as you get to see the whole package verses the initial moments of that person. I am truly writing this post out from a philosophical standpoint of sorts. It truly confounds me at times and I got to ask why. Besides seeing other peoples experiences would help me learn just as hearing a Womans view point as well.

I must apologize I do not write Poetry all too often anymore and am a wee bit rusty to say the least let alone do I usually share it with the masses. I generally save it for my loved one. So go easy on me guys but please do let me know what you think. I welcome criticism and ideas.

Yeah it is sad but I do think that is true about not having to be Gentlemen lol. I must say I probably would fall into that may seem creepy category though and that is my Extremely Sappy Hopeless Romantic shining through lol. For instance a very dumb move sending an amazing woman a love poem the morning after our first date albeit amazing and great chemistry I am sure that is what scared her. But why not any compassion in getting to overlook those things you know that is what I wonder about. Why is it automatically seen as creepy and not a sweet romantic gesture?

But none the less I have had more situations than just that which seem to lend to women seemingly gravitating toward the bad boys more so than gentlemen and it boggles me to see and makes me wonder why? Just a general open ended question and thread for other gents like myself to be honest I do not mean to whine believe me lol. I am used to being cast aside due to my sappy romantic nature and opening doors too often for a ladie, hell its how I was raised and I am proud of it.

Even my last relationship would still after 2 years get upset from time to time as I all too often opened here car door for her or pulled out her chair for her even after 2 years in a relationship.
