I Don't Believe in Living a Relationship Out in My Head before even Kick-starting it. I'm Spontaneous I think; therefore I Work with what I Have. I Never Plan for, or Expect a Relationship to End or End Badly


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:


We're Fighting? Didn't know dat

As for Living Out a Relationship in yur Head, a lot of Girls in My Country are Good at dat. They Can See or Meet a Guy 2day and Plot Out how they Will Break up with him after they get What they Want out of it


oh my, sorry to hear about the speed of light by which some women fly through relationships.. I can assure that would make my head spin too fast for me to stand upright, let alone run away with the bounty... I'm just teasing you about our fighting, read my other post and you'll see the connection... :wink:

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?




Let's see if I can answer this in some way...

1. Well that is the whole point of doing the "online" thing, so of course, start with personal emails, then give out the phone number and see if the phone call comes.

2. I once drove 1000 miles just to have dinner with someone, is that far enough? (Though I will admit I was severely disappointed not to have a "nice to meet you" email in my inbox when I returned to my home)

3. I live in Kansas, and no one absolutely no one WANTS to go to Kansas, so I've always figured I'm the one that has to move. My job is not transferable, which means I'll have to come up with a completely new vocation. That implies that I also must be willing to take on a job I hate just to be with the person, so I'd better be sure I love her.

4. If she's the one, you bet, no doubt in my mind. We can work out the details over the next fifty years.

5. Of course I apologize, especially if I'm the one in error. I'm not some heartless barbarian you know. Considering I've already done step four, I've an obligation to not only to work through the tough times, but to do what I can to make our lives together a joyful one.

6. This part of the scenario isn't even in play. I hate to break this to you, but the marriage in line four, to me, is permanent. I'm only doing this once and I'll will stick with it throughout the hard times. The very idea that I would not put in the work to save a marriage is ludicrous to me.

Buyer beware... :wink:

A thousand miles and no email or snail mail note of appreciation, wow... I can see from your answers that you totally devote yourself to whatever you undertake... and you won't give up easily... I also see that your passion, self confidence, and willingness to go that extra mile will get you "what" you want... it's only a matter now of "who"... good luck to you... flowerforyou

Me? Dedicate to an endeavor? Well, I've been known too, for example: I've got a date a week from Saturday! It only took me asking her out every time I saw her for five months, but she finally said yes. So, yeah, I'm going to take that luck you're offering. :thumbsup:

Time, patience and perseverance achieve all things. You'd be surprised to what all that applies. happy

i see you've also got a sense of humor that I bet helps keep you stress free while you faithfully and patiently persist in the chase... now let's hope she doesn't cancel an hour before your date... if that happens you can think back to this conversation and chuckle.. then log in to Mingle and let me know what her excuse was... not that it's any of my business mind you... buuuutt...

not much surprises me anymore, though.. especially since I rely on time, perseverance and patience to get what I want out of life too... :wink:

1) I would not have a problem contacting anyone who I liked.

2) I happily travelled to meet the man I was interested in.

3) To many children and a family business that I run, so moving has never been an option. :wink:

4) I wouldnt like just living together. I grew up being told that if you where good enough to sleep with you are good enough to marry, could be why I have been divorced more than once.laugh

5)Definately appologise, I dont like ignoring problems and cannot stnd upsets or tension. I like everything happy.

6) No way, I would continue being friends and would never speak badly about an ex, Lifes to short to bother being yucky.
