I’ve never used this blog before but I’ve been wondering a few things and just wondering if anyone has an opinion or any answers…
First of all, let me say I have never been in love. I’ve been close a few times but they turned out to be duds! I am of the persuasion that I will fall in love only once when I believe the guy is truly worthy of my heart and loyalty. And with that said….

What is it that men want? I know that all men are different…blah, blah, blah. But seriously, I’ve met a lot of guys, friends, dates, friend’s boyfriends, etc. and most of them are commitment phobic…that is until they meet “THE ONE” Who is the elusive one…??? I know I don’t have a lot of room to talk since the longest “relationship” I’ve had since my ex-husband has been 3 months. I know, pitiful! Okay, so maybe it’s the same for men as it is for women. But I can’t believe that love is just soooo hard to find. I can’t believe that finding a good guy is soooo obscure. Perhaps I have expectations that may too high…but shouldn’t they be if you’re willing to eventually give your heart to that person???

Just wondering...

I don't think they meant that kind of help. I came on here because I want to find out how to send an instant message to someone I've been talking to who is online.

What is it that men want?


I can only tell you what I want....

Someone I can really communicate with; an intellectual, someone who doesn't think a Subordinate Clause is a toy-making elf. Someone who is creative, someone who makes me think instead of boring me into a narcoleptic coma after 90 days (as is almost always the case).

Someone who can uphold her end of a conversation about anything and everything. Someone who is herself, not an adjunct to another person or philosophy. Someone who is "outside-the-box" enough to see that there are alternatives to the inertia of tradition and societal expectation....because no one has the right to expect anything from her.

Most of all, someone who accepts me as I am, someone who won't tell me "I love everything about you" and then, 90 days later, decide she has to CHANGE everything about me. Someone who does not feel the need to try to "domesticate" me; it can't be done.

I've only met one person like that. I'm convinced she is the only one who exists.

Why did you marry someone you didn't love?

It's very important for you to pick up on early signs of "not" loving you. There can be many. Here is a good tip for you. When the guy starts explaining things to you why he can't be with you, make sure you be careful and investigate. If you really love someone, you'd feel the immediate hickup in a relationship. If you don't notice anything and yet you end up breaking up, there was no real love.

Somehow I always get the idea, that many people really never been loved, never loved someone, perhaps felt a strong bond or temporary "liking".

Not all men are paranoid about making a commitment you just have to find him Oh and the same goes for a man.. He has to find her . There are a lot of women who won't commit either...
