Topic: a reason to wait

I met one fantastic woman, but she is clouded by a dream chase. Some guys can wait a bit and I never had a problem.

Its just that one day, or week after, when I went "the hek with it" and my front door was being knocked on or the phone was ringing.

I just say "Sorry"...I will never wait for an extended period of time that places me in the mindset of insecurity.

Just me. All things come to an end.

It might be that it isn't so much the waiting as it is the anticipation and impatience that gets us.
That's what love does.
If anyone is unsure if they are in love consider your level of impatience and anticipation on the next time you get to see them.

If its all of a sudden there they are, okay. It may not be love.

If its agony as you wait to see them again and as the time gets closer you get more excited, there's something there that's worth considering as love.

I remember speeding to get home from work to be with my wife most of my marriage. During the final year, not so much.

The trick when dating is to determine if it is impatience from anticipation or a nervous reaction to the unknown.

Tom..,once again that was like a nail on my head..thank you.

It truly depends on the reason why you wait. And how long. Personally, I wouldn't wait for a prince who probably exists only in my imagination and may never come. But on the other hand if I've found him and the reasons for waiting would sound reasonable to me, I would wait. F.e. If I don't win a lottery and he is on the other side of the world, to wait until it is possible to meet is logical. But it also depends on the other side. Are they willing to wait? If not, all is in vain.
Just my opinion, but you have to make choice by yourself flowers

hello sea waving yes i guess it takes two sides. would it be fair if one decides for both and just cut the waiting short?

Hi Sceptical flowerforyou

Yes, it would be fair, although it can be painful for the other side. We can't help ourselves and if we don't feel it, the best is to let the other side know about the change. That is fair: as soon as we realize it and before they've done something that would have some impact on their life, just because of us. F.e. I was ready to pay for the ticket to USA just to meet someone and see where it gets us. SEeveral hours videos were great but to really know you have to meet them in reality. My thoughts were: either we shall say no but still remain good friends as we were before or we shall say yes and work further on it. We were friends first and I've trusted him enough. Still it was a big deal for the ticket and visa cost more than my monthly sallary. However he got afraid and I was just happy I didn't ruin myself laugh So it does depend on both sides if they are both willing to do something for that :wink:

Life is a book that writes itself and we never know what's going to be on the next page.

I think waiting for someone you value and believe in, is worth the wait. I would follow my heart. If it says wait, I'd wait. If it says I'm not feeling valued, I believe I would move on. We don't live forever.

My best to you.

If you are both waiting for the same reason .. then that is worthwhile .. if only one of you is waiting and has maybe lost touch with reality .. then that is destructive .

In some ways it depends on the outcome .. what you gain to benefit or lose, but mostly what you are happy to tolerate . As for me .. I have the patience of a saint .. the determination of a demon and the stubbornness of a Virgin... if I believe someone or something is worth waiting for:wink:


Blondey, you get more awesome with every post. You Rock!

you would wait because you think theres a possibility or you hope things will eventually work in your favor? sometimes the heart makes us blind to reality. do you agree?

Every situation is different because they are different people. Someone that has manners and respect for others will handle it different from someone without those qualities.

The thing that makes it so difficult is that a person knows their own limits of virtue but doesn't know other people's limits of virtue.

Since you are always you, it is wise to expect and embrace your own limits. It is also wise to understand that other's may not respect your limits and you may not know theirs. You may be insane with love for them while they may only be curious of you. AND vice versa.

Ignorance is not going nutz, it is, not understanding or not having all the pertinent information. Communication is the key.

It can all be bewildering but only you can determine its worth, to you. Never put yourself down for not understanding. Make it a point to understand. Your topic is your attempt to understand so none of your friends will ignore you. We try to help in our own way.

I feel what you are going thru. You have a complex issue you are trying to sort out but you are having problems saying it right. Give it some more thought and grab a pencil and write down your thoughts till they say what you wish to say. Then just post it.

This is why many people keep a personal journal or diary. It helps them sort out those difficult things. Rereading your entries can help you refine your thoughts and gain emotional maturity.
The opposite of emotional maturity is emotional conflict.
Conflict causes stress and can deteriorate your self-esteem.

Hi skeptical waving

Are you asking if a person should wait on someone for the sake of fairness, or if you should only wait on them if your intuition strongly tells you that the person will be worth the wait?


hello peggy waving it is both. im glad i was at least making some sense in my questions flowerforyou


Reading lots of good advice here flowerforyou

For me personally to consider someone worth the inconvenience or risk of waiting, I have to see that our feelings are MUTUAL, and perceive our connection and what he brings to my life as unique, and almost irreplaceable. Only you can guage within yourself if the person's feelings are as strong as yours, and how "irreplaceable" that person is in your heart. love
