First off, there would be no reckless abandon of ANY kind if it weren't based on mutual feelings and communication. You can't experience reckless abandon without encouragement or the just knowing it was what you should do. It is based on instinct.

It can't be two sided, it is based on a combination of risk through your gut and certainty through communication.

Oh, and I was sharing my positivity with Shoes, if you read her post.

OH. OK. I follow now. It's something YOU develop and love to have! But, it IS great if it's two sided. Much better for the relationship I would think.

Okay, let me try again.

You can only experience this feeling if you are inspired to have it, by the other person. This makes it reciprocal. You feel it because the other person was receptive to it, and most likely encouraged it. You can't develop it, you just do it.

You go with the flow, you leave it go, you say what you feel and think and do what feels right. Now, this is different from just being impulsive and stupid, living without judgment. But the concept s not dissimilar.

I use to think too much to have that reckless abandon feeling. Now that I'm older and have met someone that let's me be me..I just let it flow. It is what it is and nothing less or more. I'm taking the no expectations..no regrets stance and it's kind of fun.

That's pretty much exactly what I meant when I said it needed to be two sided.
I guess I've been conditioned by my job so long I try to condense a big thought into as few words as possible.....That's a flaw I need to work on.

Okay folks, tell me how you temper those feelings of reckless abandon when you meet someone, or do you want to? Do you ever even experience this?



I know for me I adore it, although it happens rarely. I like to just let go and go with the flow, it is freeing...


How do I temper those feelings??? By remembering how badly I got burned the last couple of times I gave in to them.

Here is my thing:
Don't EVER invest more than you have to lose in any situation. If you fear being able to give into that, you might want to explore if you are ready to date. I'm more than willing to risk getting hurt, devastated even, if it means I can feel like this for awhile.

Well....I wouldn't invest more than I HAVE to lose. I am just not completely willing to invest more than I CARE to lose, if that makes any sense.

I'm not saying that I absolutely wouldn't give in to the feeling, but I would just be very cautious before I did.

I haven't noticed...of course I'm pretty reckless without meeting someone...so I dunno.

This message is brought to you by the number 12...police on your tail? Think 12.

You can't be cautious before you are reckless, you can just chose to be guarded with whom you trust enough to feel safe with to be reckless. Holy cow...did that make sense? Are we saying the same thing?

What you have to lose is reckless abandon and how that feels. It is that simple. No risk, no reward. Trite I know, but I believe it.

Guy, trust yourself, okay?
