And have enough love to embrace their imperfections that we may not see on the internet?

And btw .. I've heard this "I'm in LUUUUUUUUUV" by JSH'ers that thought they'd met their one and only, only to be terribly crushed after meeting. Or they have a great 1st meet, but then things go downhill after that.

I know.

I used to run the "Do you believe in magic" thread ..

Just keep it real folks. Live romance but live reality too.

We talked for almost 9 months before i moved and in between that time, the little man was starting to grow. Now if your wondering. is that why i moved. No, we plaind on me moving out there before this happen and he was plaind to. There was no mistake about my son what so ever. just wanted to make that clear Do i feel i jumped into this. In some ways yes and then again no. I did somthing that i had never done in my life and that was going off what we have shared with each other. far as i new and the day i was moving out there, she told me to get my ass out there. What i din't know, was she was talking to her ex and it was over before i got up there with her. thats because she was not honest with herself. There is no advice here. it was a chance i took and i'm glad i did because. not everything was bad about this. I live in a much better area, the people around me are plesent to be around and very friendly. Yeah, at first i was bent until i looked back and relized. I did nothing wrong but lover her and stopped Blaming me. Even though things didn't work out. were still friends. How many people can say that? Not many at all. There is one big thing i did learn out of all of this. life doesn't stop because of one small bump in the road.

good points babe

There are many relationships that are based on total acceptance of the other, (as long as there are no major issues) partly due to the self-security and confidence of our own lives, wants, and not willing to let the "little things" get in the way of being truly happy.

Thanks!! Glad to be here!

I'm a widow too and I won't lower my standards just cause I don't have anyone.
I have 2 young boys I have to raise.
I owe it to them to be the best that I can be and NOT settle for less.
I expect that from my future partner as well.
I know LilAngel was single for a while too...
Been a looooong seven years for me.

I believe anything can happen. I am hopefull for love again, no matter how I find it.

And I have heard of several sucess stories too...go look at sucess stories...so, nothing is guranteed...I am not looking for a gurantee...Looking for love...love is compromise, good and bad times and just life.

WORDS TO GROW BY,wink...and very true to life and living,wink...

No no what you just said, is what most hope for and it's somthing we have to work for.

I wasn't expectiong you to pop in, but you did What i'm getting at is, as most of you you will see people jump into a situation way to fast and a couploe months latter, blaming them for what ever happen. The funny thing is, most will never look at themselves as where did i go wrong. So the saing, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Is not to throw all of who you are into anyone untill you have actually spent time with them. I said living with somone somewhat gives more of an idea who they really are. Hell if you can't live with them. how will the relationship work? So move in and you will jknow if it will work or not.

You've all heard of the saying " Failure is the first steps to success" So it failed, move on, maybe that person was just a catalyst to propel you forward into something bigger and better all experiences are learning curves ! Shadow has the right attitude, he's comfortable with what he's done ( still comfortable with it) he's been there,done that and he's obviously at peace with himself, so much so that he is willingly sharing his thoughts and experience on an open forum.Way to go!

Not for me, to me it's a fals feeling. The excitment is what get most going and thinking that thats love.

OMG! you cynics are right! I should just give up on all prospects of having a relationship a dwell in solitary for the rest of my days!

Uh huh......I am a big boy and I have been hurt before, and if it happens again, I'll know I at least tried and wasn't negative about the idea!

hey iam, 6 pages latter i get to you. Sorry man. i guess we all get caught up in things, but there has been some interesting points and i do respect others opinions. Anyway, how you been?

I love like I breathe... sucking in all the air that I need to stay alive...not just enough to keep me from turing blue! HA!

Mike, sorry things didn't work for you. Doesn't mean they won't work a second time or third. Peccy is my best friend. I love him like he is part of me. Some people can love like that. Some cannot. Peccy has my heart. If this does not work, will I die? No. Will I be hurt? Yes. Will I regret giving him my heart? Absolutely NOT! WIll I close my heart and never love again? NO WAY! Love is what Life is all about and it is worth the potential hurt. My love for him is real though...not superficial...like Auburn said...petty stuff doesnt matter when you love someone. I am lookign forward to learning more abut this man...we have 2 weeks to see if this will go further...ONly look forward to more funtimes. Wish the same for you again...and your son was worth it all..he's beautiful

Thank you and your right and i did see that in some of the others post.

Now this is what i like seeing. you know where you stand in all of this and you should be happy and go as far as you can with this. life is short and if we don't move on, how will we ever know like some of us said on this thread. As for me, it may be a couple times more before i'm to be with somone that is willing to share there life with me. then again. like somone said on this thread. What happen to me might be a steping stone to somone better. Life happens and everything that has happen in my life, has brang me up to this point and i'm happy where i'm at
