Everything worth having in life takes some level of effort to obtain. Once it’s in our possession and becomes part of our lives it can take a different level of commitment to maintain and keep it. Each of the following questions revolves around our personal relationships, and relates to what extent we are willing to go to get what we want.

1) You’ve interacted with people on the forums and become friends, now you want to take the friendship to the next level by becoming personally acquainted off boards, are you comfortable contacting them to see if the feeling is mutual, and how would you go about making the deeper connection?

2) You and your friends get along great online and you’ve decided to meet, if you live close by it’s not a problem, but if you live hundreds or thousands of miles apart, how far are you willing to go in order to make the deeper connection?

3) You’ve made the deeper connection and decide to try and make a personal relationship work, how much are you willing to compromise to be with the other person? Are you willing to relocate and trial run a live-in relationship? Can you transfer your employment if you decide to do this?

4) You’ve compromised and relocated, you love your new place of employment, and you and your live-in lover’s status is on cloud nine, life is great, love is intense, will you take things to the next level by getting married?

5) You’ve made a serious error in judgment and hurt your partner significantly, do you apologize and seek forgiveness while also trying to make things right, or do you ignore the damage your actions created and just expect your partner to get over it?

6) Your serious error in judgment has damaged your relationship and has led to a breakup; do you seek revenge, even if it’s just by gossiping about your ex to make others dislike them now that you do, or do you go your separate ways without incident?

1) You’ve interacted with people on the forums and become friends, now you want to take the friendship to the next level by becoming personally acquainted off boards, are you comfortable contacting them to see if the feeling is mutual, and how would you go about making the deeper connection?


I am not comfortable at this time in my situation. But time will fix that.



2) You and your friends get along great online and you’ve decided to meet, if you live close by it’s not a problem, but if you live hundreds or thousands of miles apart, how far are you willing to go in order to make the deeper connection?


As far as it takes.




3) You’ve made the deeper connection and decide to try and make a personal relationship work, how much are you willing to compromise to be with the other person? Are you willing to relocate and trial run a live-in relationship? Can you transfer your employment if you decide to do this?


I have to stay by Dallas where my transplant hospital is.



4) You’ve compromised and relocated, you love your new place of employment, and you and your live-in lover’s status is on cloud nine, life is great, love is intense, will you take things to the next level by getting married?


Yes. That is my goal, to have that special someone.



5) You’ve made a serious error in judgment and hurt your partner significantly, do you apologize and seek forgiveness while also trying to make things right, or do you ignore the damage your actions created and just expect your partner to get over it?


I apologize and try to do things to show her how sorry I am.



6) Your serious error in judgment has damaged your relationship and has led to a breakup; do you seek revenge, even if it’s just by gossiping about your ex to make others dislike them now that you do, or do you go your separate ways without incident?




I don't seek revenge.

Traveling is a problem for me and I don't post here thinking that I'm going to get anything apart from internet friends out of it. In the unlikely event that someone was prepared to travel to meet me all I can really say is that I would try to make it work.

My life is here but if I did meet somebody special that wanted to commit to me I would consider relocating.

Yes, I apologise for stupid things that I do and try to make them right but I need a proper explanation as to why I did the wrong thing.

No, I don't particularly care about people that I don't even know and I wouldn't go spreading gossip warning other people what someone I was involved with is like.

My answers:


1) I would want to remain in contact. Whatever he is most comfortable
with.

2) Well, I did say as long as it's within my country. If I want someone
that badly, I'd be very willing.


3) I would give it a trial run, yes. I'm a flexible person, so this
wouldn't be a problem. I will only think about living with someone if I
get to know him well enough first.


4) I'd give the relationship at least a full year before even
considering marrying him. Intense or not. laugh

5) I never go out of my way to seek forgiveness. If I do something
untoward, then I deserve to be punished, and rightly so. Who am I to
think I shouldn't be? I would ALWAYS apologize.

6) I'd quietly go my seperate way. Not into slanderous gossip. Had
enough of that in high school. I find it very childish and immature at
best. How can people call themselves a grown-up, when some of them just
like to throw around insults? Not for me. I like to make peace with my
past. We both end it mutually. I end mine peacefully.

Hi Sarah... I agree with the year wait, if not more... and maintaining our self respect and privacy by keeping our relationship issues to ourselves... there's nothing that disturbs me more than a man that brags about his sexual conquests in detail, as if he has no respect for the woman he's with. And then tries to dog her to everyone when and if she breaks up with his sorry butt...

Most of the men I have talked with personal emails are not Posting on Forums. laugh They may have viewed them, I am not sure. I met men inperson off datesites and they did not participate in any Forums. I am willing to travel, if the man comes here to meet me first. I have not had a problem, the men I have met inperson have traveled to meet other women as well. Most of the men I am attracted to live out of State. My city is small and I do interent because it helps to search at a distance. A man from NM came here and that is 100's of miles from me. I am planning on an engagement to marriage, so I am not looking to just date different men for years.

I understand your position, toody... I want my next relationship to be my last one too... having just come out of an 18 yr marriage, I prefer the emotional security of the vows taken... and I don't intend to try every dress on the rack until I find just the right one that fits nicely on me, either...

I am forgiving and I can apologize, when I am wrong in a situation.
I just do not like Men who play games. It is very hard to see through them Online sometimes. Online friendships are hard work.

2) You and your friends get along great online and you’ve decided to meet, if you live close by it’s not a problem, but if you live hundreds or thousands of miles apart, how far are you willing to go in order to make the deeper connection?

3) You’ve made the deeper connection and decide to try and make a personal relationship work, how much are you willing to compromise to be with the other person? Are you willing to relocate and trial run a live-in relationship? Can you transfer your employment if you decide to do this?

4) You’ve compromised and relocated, you love your new place of employment, and you and your live-in lover’s status is on cloud nine, life is great, love is intense, will you take things to the next level by getting married?

5) You’ve made a serious error in judgment and hurt your partner significantly, do you apologize and seek forgiveness while also trying to make things right, or do you ignore the damage your actions created and just expect your partner to get over it?

6) Your serious error in judgment has damaged your relationship and has led to a breakup; do you seek revenge, even if it’s just by gossiping about your ex to make others dislike them now that you do, or do you go your separate ways without incident?




1. Yes
2. I am willing to compromise...I have kids so I would be willing to meet half way for the first couple of times and then we can go from there...if things look to be moving in the right direction then I would be willing to travel the full distance :D
3. Yes I would be willing to relocate for the right person...my job will be flexible all that it would require is becoming licensed in another state if it involves moving out of state.
4. Yes if we were ready for that step and I do say ready because that is a decision that should not be rushed...I have learned that after ten years of marriage that did not go anywhere.
5. I will always apologize if I am wrong or if I am right but went about something the wrong way that may cause my partner hurt feelings or pain...I am a forgiving person by nature but I have a hard time forgetting when something is done with hurtful intent.
6. When ending a relationship I always try to end it on good terms. You never know when you may need that person for something whether it be for advice or for a reference. Point being it takes too much energy to be mad at someone. I do not have an ex that I have a bad relationship with. We are friends. We were friends before the relationship and we have remained friends after the relationship. Rarely do I ever need anything so important that I have to contact them but there are occasions when they contact me and it's usually has to do something with their kids lol.

I agree toody... men who play games make it so much harder for us to see the ones that don't...

hi ashryn, it's nice to meet you... I can relate with your willingness to stay friends with your ex's because of the relationship that was involved before the deeper level of physical and emotional intimacy... and of course for the childrens sake if they are part of the equation... I do the same with mine... as we are much better friends apart... of course when either of us gets with someone new that can change our level of contact with each other... and I agree with you on it being hard to forgive someone who intentionally hurts us... because that's a big indicator that there are some underlying feelings of bitterness or animosity that causes them to want to inflict pain on us... from these types of issues I tend to run...

you're on a roll with me today, aren't you kennee... pitchfork I always prepare for the worst while hoping for the best... that way I'm not surprised by anything that happens... and I don't think it's even possible to live a relationship out in our heads, unless you're talking about fantasying... and if that's the case, sometimes that's all we're going to get from the one we like is what's in our own heads, because we aren't in theirs... although I wouldn't dream up an entire relationship, just maybe one kiss... :tongue:

again.. are we done fighting yet... :wink:
