Topic: How do we win over the competition? | |
---|---|
I’m still trying to get my relationship thinking cap on right, and I’m hoping the rest of you already might have yours on tight. So… as this is a dating site, where personal connections are made in the midst of the competition that exists, what are we supposed to think, say, and/or do if our partners/significant others makes it clear to us that they respect and will remain friends with the men and/or women that we both know are our rivals, and have acted accordingly towards us, should our partners loyalty to our known rivals be questionable, even actionable, such as being a deal breaker for us? They're Just Friends, right? Then Dat's All Good |

My understanding all along this was fictional which is why I never had a legit answer for it. Smart man! |

If a single woman is the best match for a single man, then that woman will not have any so-called "rivals". Also, a single man is a free agent while he is single. The fact that a single man is having sex with a particular woman doesn't imply that the man belongs exclusively to the woman. If a woman wants exclusive rights to a man, then she needs to marry him. If a man has a "relationship" with a woman, then he should not want to be with some other woman. But Yes, we know that does go on sometimes. Also, marrying a man does not necessarily mean he is going to be all hers either. Many adulterous Men out there. True committment is what a couple has to have to one another. That is almost impossible online. |

You seem really angry about this Athena. Yeah, I read stuff you've posted about this guy before in other threads you made and I found it a bit hard to tell if there really was a particular guy that you liked or if you were just saying that to make the men on here wonder if you were talking about them. Let me ask you this though, if you don't like your personal afairs being gossiped about why go about it like this? guess I'll have to go back to charm school then huh? If I'm giving off such unruly vibes... and as far as I can recall there has never been any type of public recognition or admission that I am with "this guy" or "this guy" is with me... so, your guess is as good as mine as to the true identity of "this guy" you are referring too... after all, the one I refer to is just a character being discussed in hypothetical terms... thanks for your interest in my work though... you're a real sport for reading and posting your comments when you're not obligated too, but do by your own choice... as for explaining every thread or idea to you now to clarify any confusion you may have... well... you'll have to forgive me, but I just don't have the time to rehash old news with you... have a great evening... Yeah, don't really have the time either to go through your old posts looking for where you said what and one thing is for sure and that it's not me that you're talking about. But no worries; I don't mind taking the time to read your stuff and replying to it. The way people behave on the internet and the games they play is something that I'm intrested in. I'm pretty sure that there's a PhD thesis there. Now why would I talk about you, Tawt... when you've always been here reading and posting to my work... being friendly and open... here I thought we are pals, at least... I don't know but sometimes it just seems to me it's like you are trying to imply something... |

That is almost impossible online. You're right... and if the relationship hadn't been an online situation to begin with, the couple never would have had the issue of a rival to come up... |
