Right now I'm just being careful. I get attached very easily. If someone tells me that they are interested, I'm going to want to take it further and start developing a fondness for her.




Well that's kind of hard. I don't like people who do this and surely don't want to practice the same in my own life. I'm really getting sick of introducing myself over and over again.

Blame it on living in a small isolated town for the first 19 years of my life. A place where everything always stayed the same, people didn't move in and out, you kept your friends forever and were loyal to them and didn't take yourself away from them by going and making more new friends. In the rare event that someone new did move into town (maybe happened a few times a year), they were met with much scrutiny and territorial hostility.

I used to think that was how it was everywhere. Now that I've moved away, I've found the exact opposite lol!! But still can't help feeling that a person who lets go quickly and continuously makes the effort to meet new people is someone to be looked down upon.

I would like to change my attitude but it doesn't seem to be budging

Thank you all for responding and yes, my instincts are probably right.

What a lovely thing to say! ^_^

All very true, me and you think alike. You seem so far on top of things fireflysgirl. I'd date a confident Lady like you anyday. It's good to know there are people like you in the world

haha...I am so wise until it comes to my own life At least this round I am happy to start over, enjoy the lifestyle I have been working towards for the last decade, and find a deep love/trust/balance within myself!

Thanks MrBiscuit you are a sweetheart!
