Clean cut is the best cut, chere. Cut him loose and be done with it, but STAY done with it, ya' know?

Sure, it happens.

Well said. Quality over quantity any day. Too much emphasis put on just the sexual aspect of a relationship and NOT enough on everything else, in MHO, can damage any relationship. There should, I think, be a more even split. Everyday life does tend to invade, ya know. Trick is not to let it.

Nope not screwed, Just informed now. Gosh, wish this post had been here last year. Could have saved me from a HUGE blunder. How about adding, that if they CANNOT get a license in your home state, you might want to move on?

ummmm, eweeeeeeeeeeee. Pass. Pass. Pass.

If he thinks "vagina" is a state, what a maroon.

I understand "red flags" hun. I have recently become the queen of them and am starting to spot them with my friends who happen to be "happily" together.

Time marches on...

Still getting phone calls, but they are further apart now. This is good. What is not so good, is dang it to hell, now I need a handyman around the house, a

Final "D" day is May 5th and am waiting with anticipation, ya know.

If I can shake the feeling that I overlooked something. Something important, I might could actually sleep more than 2-3 hrs a night.

Need some help here. Any suggestions?

What I do find interesting is just this---is that with all the new people I do meet online, I keep running into the people I went to high school with. And what is really odd to me, is that, it almost seems like time has stopped for some. Ya know?

must agree, the hands, it is about the hands. So maybe Lex should design some gloves as well. But it does kinda seem proportional. Size of head, feet AND hands, in my experience, lol.

don't think it has to do with being "too picky" really. just think we all get wrapped up in out own lives so very much, that when we should and could take the time "look for love"(for lack of a better way to put it) we fail to really "see" what may be in front of our very faces.

On a side note: we also tend to have expectations that get put on the people around us, ie what we "expect" when you do that, failure soon follows. Or it has for me. Just MHO

sure and why not? So many people are more at ease talking and getting to know each other online. Thanks welder_1, you are not so bad yourself(batting eyelashes, lol) I do a great Mae West impression, lol.

Gees, I clicked with John over the two months, online, phone calls and webcam type "dates", then he moved down here and things just took off. I believe we were meant to be, even if only for that small amount of time. He gave me something I needed, as I did him. Don't expect folks to understand, that's ok. He and I will probably end up very good friends.

What can I say, he swept me off my feet. I am such a sucker for sweet talk. I had just gotten divorced after 17 yrs and well, he just knew all the right things to say and do. Just wasn't meant to be....happened way to fast, and you are right, just can't drive 55,lololol

I am no poet or sage. I don't know the "secrets" of a good relationship. I have learned that if you can focus on all the positives in your life, and surround yourself with the positives, positive things will happen. Speaking from experience(the dreaded breaking up kind), know this, you are worthy of an everlasting love. Not the all-consuming type, but a shared partnership. This will find it's way to you, when you give kindness, you receive kindness. When you give love, true, unassuming love, that's what you get back. You follow me?

My own experience should color the way I see relationships, but, nope. Still hopeful. Still full of eager excitement in anticipation of what may come. I think you be fine. Everyday, puts a little more distance and the wounds heal a bit more.

sorry, meant to say He instead of She. Was answering email at the same time....

a second that--Brava. Just relax and let nature take it's course.

clingy--is a good way to put it. But she should just be done with it. A clean break is better than dragging it out. Ya know.

thank you. It is "messed up". But we soldier on, ya know. Each day, I try to put it further behind me. Am only counting down the days now. Just want peace in my home and no more upheaval.

cool way to look at it. Put the bad days with the others and look forward to the next good day. I on the other hand am exhausted, just worked a 22 hr shift at the hospital. With the snow, so many people couldn't/wouldn't come in, soooo since I was there already, I stayed. But it is really turning into a beautiful day outside, now that I am awake to enjoy it grace.

I think, maybe, you are right.

NOOOO, just remembered, it's a river in Egypt, lol. (I know, lame) sorry
