- I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunately, it took going through this
- twice
- before I realized that the "infatuation/lust" stage can sometimes
- overwhelm
- a person. Although I prefer taking relationships slowly; it seems that
- everytime I get involved with someone over the net/phone, it gets too far
- too fast - with both parties at fault. I will continue meeting
- friends/pen pals
- however, when it begins sounding like more, I will definitely proceed much
- more cautiously! I really don't want to go through it a third time.
- Love does
- take time and getting to know someone; I usually find that falling in
- love comes
- after being good friends - a SO should also be your best friend as well
- as a lover,
- etc.
-
- I would like to compliment on your views on love and relationships! :-)
