- It's 0600 on Sunday morning and I am at work, so this
- may wander deeply. I don't know yet, 'cause I haven't
- written it yet.....
-
- It has been written here that ladies have to be careful of
- men who are being romantic because they may want something.
- It has also been written that men have to be careful of
- ladies who are being romantic because they may after something
- as well.
-
- Good golly Miss Molly.....(polite form of what I was thinking)
-
- Sure we are after something, could it be love? Could it
- be closeness with someone we care about? Nah, we don't want
- that now do we......all we want is manipulate the other person
- into doing something for us.....
-
- If this is what you believe, then why would you continue to
- be interested in other people(leaving this open for MOOS and
- MOSS relationships)???? If we have become that afraid of what
- the other person may do.....then we will never open to them so
- they come to appreciate the complete person that we are. We will
- always have one foot over the line, in the land of safety in fear
- that this person wants to use us...
-
- Does the word TRUST ever fit into relationships???? Well I hope
- so.. For me it certainly does. Each and every relationship that I
- enter has the possibility of being wonderful, (ie love of my life,
- dear and close friend, good companion....et al) or disasterous, (ie
- manipulative dishonest *&%^$^%$(&^^^ who abuses my friendship) or
- somewhere in between. Most fall into the somewhere in between. But
- if I hide behind my fears of the relationship failing or being a
- disaster, then I may very well miss the love of my life.
-
- Very few people reading this group now remember when BDC made his
- first entrance into ARC, GEMR, Steve, CatWoman and Blade are a few
- that were here. The failed relationship I was going throught at the
- time rocked me and my beliefs to the very core. Since then I have
- had a relationship fail because the other had substantially different
- beliefs as to what a friendships was and I have another that currently
- has developed into the best friend I have ever had.
-
- Sure there maybe some people who are going to use your trust, but so
- what. Ther will also be some people who will not abuse your trust, in
- fact they may return what you give to them ten fold....So relax, enjoy
- life as best you can...
-
- Just a few incomplete thoughts on an early Sunday morning...
-
- Hasta Dudes & Dudettes,
