If someone is able to find the door, I may let them in. well .. THAT'S a start Yeah, but it's a doggy door. |

I don't self protect and perhaps I should. Rejection is hard to take but I have grown tuff skin on here. I've learned we grow out of our hurts. When we are happy and content, there is no growth. So, if I fall in love and get hurt, I try to learn from it but will always be vulnerable falling in love. Just those few precious moments makes up for all the other hurts.

This is a perfect topic for me. Yes I do. Ive had this conversation with many friends recently, because people take interest in me and I ward them off or avoid them. Happened last night actually, I was all ready to try to let the wall down for what I thought was a great guy. Then he "disclosed" that he has a wife at home. Good thing I didnt let that wall down. |

Exactly. You know the saying .. you have to kiss a lot of toads to find your Prince |

I've been "self-protecting" on and off for the past 9 years. It is hard to trust again.
I can understand the need to surrender to it, to experience fully. Unfortunately, I also remember only too well the pain of betrayal and abandonment, loss. I teeter back and forth these days. Do I dive in completely? Or do my toes just skim the water and wait. Opportunities for beauty can be lost in the waiting, I agree. |

well then you'd have to have a DAWG interested in you eh? I'd prefer a cat, or squirrel maybe. or maybe a goat or llama |

When I get the life jacket thing worked out I'll buzz ya and ya, I tend to give my all too ... *sigh* |

Its a scary place out there in love land! |

"You have to feel the pain to get to the joy"
I think, each expereince we have in this mere mortal world is a lesson. Some are painful, but love is the joy,,a "gift". How silly it would be to build walls around avoidance of that gift. I mean, after all,,who would you be hurting? |
