My biggest fear about dating is that I'll fall under that spell of seeing only what I want to see. I think it's happened to all of us at some point...we let the fantasy of a thing spin dreamy little clouds, blocking the true colors of the sky right over our heads.


i have done that...and may again do it too. i have the gut feeling but I put blinders on. then I'm proven right...I want to kick myself for not keeping it in mind and listening to my instincts


How Rose, how many times I have done that! Boys learn by 10 months how to weasel a cookie out of Mommy & practice the sweet smile & soulful eyes from then on....

lily, i'm right there with you.

for some reason, though...i was always attracted to those that i KNEW couldn't be fixed...just to see if it was possible.

now that i'm out of that phase...i still make snap judgments, and i'm generally right on the nose. maybe it's understanding human nature, maybe it's psychology, maybe it's good instincts...

Rose, my theory is that if DA & I are a couple, men will see us as mysterious & unavailable, therefore more desirable! (we want mail) LOL

after the last one, I decided....NO MORE BROKEN BIKES.. Only brand new shiny ones.... or really good rehabed ones... The rest go to the curb with the trash.

I am sure they do, I just didn't have the oppourtunity, & niether did my daughter. Could the lack of a father in the home have something to do with the lack of "seeing" when a guy is just playing you? just a thought, I never got to interaction between parents.

Wow, you're really making me think today...

My father was a good man, but a chavinist, so I am sensitive to men who feel they are superior because they have a penis...

i don't think that's always true. my dad traveled in the AF and died when I was 7. I think I have chosen to not see what I knew in guys. I have gotten MUCH stronger about that. but I know that there are times when first impressions aren't always accurate. that's why I like to get to know others first

My friend called me up last week and told me how her bf, (she lived with him) cheated and had been for almost 2 years, I offered her anything in my power to do for her.

I had only met him a handful of times, and not once did he strike me as a "good" person. I could see his eyes, and I didn't like it, but she was happy, so I didn't question it much. I had been in their home, broken bread with them, so I always showed him respect. I just kept him at arms length.

She called me today to tell me how happy she was that they were getting back together. I just had to say "well if that makes you happy, I'm happy for you."
Those sound like pretty thick clouds she's conjured up there. I hope she gets wise to the storm before it rolls in. She has a good friend anyway.

Seriously, they have done studies on young girls growing up without fathers & "self esteem", but could watching the interation between parents be key in learning dating skills like the "bull sh@t detector"?

sometimes it is hard to read others online. but then again when the attacks on others or insults keep coming all the time...then more than likely that is an sign that maybe something is wrong

It kills me because her two best friends, who I know and like, think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and I am sure they said something to her to make her go back...

Oh she's awesome, sweet, kind, hilarious...she's the good twin to my evil twin....

Intersesting Rose, we have dicussed our simularities before, but I didn't know that. My father died when I was 5.
