I find new relationships like a buffet you have never been to. Somethings you can tell by looking at them you don't want any part of it, others you need to taste to get a feel for. Sometimes something that looks scary tastes awesome and other times you get food poisoning but can't figure out exactly what the culprit was. I think that if you at least try it you know what it was and wasn't. I would never boycott buffets just because one was crap though. I wouldn't stop eating bacon just because one buffet burnt thiers... yeah. That's my take on it.




Love this open, smart attitude!!

So...excluding the heartaches of loosing someone in passing away, am I to assume that our(each)love relationships are just a stepping stone to the next one, that we finally end up with?

Just a thought....perhaps a change of strategy may be worth considering.

Think about it........be some fake shmoe for three months then, when it is time "for you to change"...change to the guy you are now. Hell.......I need to try that approach!


Actually not a bad idea..for different reasons though. Re-invent ourselves every three months until we get "it" right...a new form of evolution. Lawdy, lawdy Krupa, you may be on to something...

Isn't everything a learning experience? To learn and grow through each experience so that when a similar situation comes our way we handle it accordingly.... hopefully better. Wouldn't our past relationships be included in the learning process? I mean really...did we all think the person we "fell in love" with when we were 19 was going to be the one we were with sitting in our rocking chairs with at 80?

Well, shouldn't we all think that, with each new serious relationship?

I know I would, or I wouldn't be taking it that far, with hope of the future!

I would think that now...now that I have actually learned what love is...most don't even know what unconditional love is at 19, or any age for that matter. Yes, I look at love differently now...with my first so called love...no, I didn't look that far into the future.

Well I did learn one thing: There's no such thing as "always" or "forever." There's only right now, and maybe tomorrow.

Speaking of love...:

Is it really worth the hurt or heart ache, to experience love?

Is the time you spent in love, and happy, really worth the price, you pay... should you end up going separate ways?


what drinker brokenheart


Yes. Although the 4 failed relationships, I start to wonder if I really suck, or everybody really sucks expect me, or I really suck and everybody else really sucks also.

We either suck or are on the receiving end of the sucking...

Every experience I have ever had has shaped me into the person I am today. I like that person. So, yes, it was all worth it. :smile:

The next one:

1) you'll dive in, because you're tired of being alone

2) you've learned from your last relationship, this time it's going to be different

3) you'll at least try, get your feet wet and then decide whether or not to go into the pool

4) you'll resist every flirt and pass made at you, and you will commit the rest of your life as a monk, a nun, or a hermit

5) You have had time to heal, you have your sword, armor, and shield on, and ready for battle

6) If it happens it happens, if it don't, it don't

7) You don't want a meaningful relationship, just cheap thrills from time to time

8) You don't care if you get hurt again, but acknowledge that life is about living and taking chances, even if there's a possibility we'll stumble and fall, but know we can dust ourselves off and try again

9) You'll try to be yourself this time and stand true to your values and beliefs, not what you think he/she wants them to be

10) You'll be more mindful of your surroundings this time, and aware that every action, every inaction has a consequence.

And if all that fails...

11) You'll clear the table, and start all over again!

Not that we haven't felt it, but can we feel it again?

Why pretend it's all of sudden
Why pretend that we didn't know before
I'll be out th door in a minute
You won't hear me beg for love anymore
Honeyed words have chained me down
Loving looks have fooled my senses
I've been waiting long enough
I play my card and take my chances
No pretences

Time goes by, honey
Time goes by, it flies away
Love goes by, honey
Love, good love goes to waste
Make your choice, is it yes or no
Say one word, shall I stay or go
Life goes by, honey
Time and love never wait, never wait

See the road unfold like a ribbon
Hear the call of so many lonely hearts
Can't you see that I'm in a hurry
Time to leave or else we'll never part
Honeyed words have chained me down
Loving looks have fooled my senses
I've been waiting long enough
I play my card and take my chances
No pretences

Time goes by, honey
Time goes by, it flies away
Love goes by, honey
Love, good love goes to waste
Make your choice, is it yes or no
Say one word, shall I stay or go
Life goes by, honey
Time and love never wait, never wait (2X)

Time goes by, honey
Love goes by, honey
Life goes by, honey
Time goes by, honey
Love goes by, honey
