i do not think you can either---
everyone here who knows me--knows me as a strong, old fashioned, independent woman.
but, i guess every once in awhile you find someone that
really knocks your socks off and you make the choice
whether you get hurt or not...it is worth the chance.

I agree, Joyce..

Take it away from the computer, the phone, take these feelings into the light of day, and look at them.

Then meet him, date him, learn him, and after a few months if you have had no 'uh oh' flags go off, then look at it as a possibility of a committed love.

If you found someone that you have found very interesting..maybe you should take that chance and explore the relationship further!! I think each relationship is different. I have heard of people meeting and getting married within 2 weeks and they have been married 30 plus years.
The question is...is that a chance your willing to take?

Darlin let him knock your socks off just keep your panties up and your purse shut. You might have met someone wonderful but give it time to "pan out". Keep notes on what he is telling you and how he acts. Look for history that shows he is everything it "feels" like he is currently and maybe his past will turn into the "Present" that meeting a great person is suppose to be. Nobody can predict the future one hundred percent but let this new "hot rod make a couple seasons around the track before you start throwing out the love flag. Best of Luck Young Lady. Will keep it in our prayers he turns out to be a keeper.

Maybe when you are 16 but not 46. Love means far too many things and has so much involved with it to have it happen that fast. True love takes time. Puppy love takes a week.

I remember this one time I fell in lust. To quote a friend, "I sure stepped in something." Gees, I sure was twitterpated. My friends thought there was something wrong with me. I was sure glad they were there to pick up the pieces. They kept telling me to open my eyes. They kept asking me, "Can't you see she is just using you?" I would try to be noble and protect her. I would tell my friends they didn't know what they were talking about. Sure enough my friends were right. It sure is nice to have friends. They are there when the infatuation is over.

when i hurt him, he was upset--but never ugly or mean to me. he touched me because at one point he said oh, you are sad now. i mean i hurt his feelings and all and he was worried about me being sad.

{{{{{ Joyce }}}}} I wish you would meet someone as good as what I have found, I always want you to be happy, and if this guy you are talking on here have already made you smile then give it a chance, who knows? I know a lot of successful stories from online dating, I hope mine and yours would be too. Well, gurl, just give it a try but leave a lil caution, I dont want you sad, be happy Luv yah!

<<newg>>
thank you-- i know
he has made me smile nonstop since the first night we talked.
i ya 2

Wow I'm glad that he did

I wish you good days ahead, if he is meant for you he is yours, ok? I believe you are a keeper and finally found someone to keep forever {{{{{ HUGZ }}}}}

thank you sweetie---
having you in my corner is such a big support to me
you are the best

you can if you stay drunk

Hell, Joyce, I've fallen in love in less than a week so many times it gives me bedspins! Which is why I no longer trust my judgement on the matter of love. The idea of love is what we really fall for so quickly. The whole imaginary picture looks great until it becomes reality........

no

I don't know. I guess you could. I thought I loved a guy after a few months and it turned out I didn't, so who knows. I'm no expert on love.

I dont think you can love someone within a week.......maybe be in like or lust with someone but it takes a long time to really know someone inside and out and love someone.

To me, love is having that person be there for you, when you need them most...sharing thoughts and they understand what you are going through, arguing and still loving you anyways because you are you.......idk Im just rambling now

Highly doubt it..
xoxoPeaches.

@gypsy

I fell in love with a guy from HERE and we're still together....that was back in June. So it can happen. The process may take longer or shorter but I knew pretty much this guy was the one for me within a few weeks of talking to him. We just started talking more and more, the visits became extended longer now, my house is up for sale, and I'm transferring my job to live in his state. And I don't mind a bit.

cat you are coming to my state and I am not that far from you that is so cool. when are you coming? The best to the both of you. Could not be happier for you two.
