| How Can We Avoid Becoming Set in Our Ways?
Posted: 6/26/2007 7:00:46 PM | | Missright3,your so right. I am not slamming single people,just single people that are trying to hook up and are stuck in their set little ways. I mean how the heck can you meet someone if you only date on Fridays,eat spaghetti on Tuesdays,and brush you teeth with Colgate toothpaste only?! | |

Posted: 7/12/2007 6:31:47 PM | | OP, I can understand your point to a certain extent,.. where it concerns people with a very set routine... this night for this,.. that night for that,.. but here is whre i part company with you.. I really dont like a lot of head spinning change. I am set in some of my morals and opinions,.. i have reached a point in my life where i wont change some of my ways, because they make me happy and content. people who are always off on some great adventure can be exhausting,.. they are like the elusive pimpernel.. and just as unavailable for a settled relationship in their own way. you seem restless and impatient OP, just elax a little and I do think theres not much harm in having a few favorite things to do that you can repeat without being static or set in your ways. x | |

Posted: 7/12/2007 6:35:50 PM | I have mentioned it before on other threads ... but if you find yourself without as much family and friends as you used to have - and wish for other outlets -- then try Volunteering with some charitable group. I do -- Habitat for Humanity ReStore and it is quite rewarding.
Check things out in you area. It is amazing as to the number of people you meet and the good feedback that comes with giving...

Posted: 7/12/2007 8:31:14 PM | I'd make the assumption that most people do what they can to fill their time with activities, routines that they enjoy and get comfort from, etc. (e.g. POF). Time is a "use it or lose it" proposition.
Makes perfect sense to me that if you start getting involved with someone it's going to take a some time for them to re-prioritize prior committments towards more flexibility in spending time together. Don't you have similar issues?..or do you have total flexibility in your life?
If they don't re-prioritize or flex fast enough for you, it may just be that you are impatient...or maybe they just don't place the same priority on time with you vs. other interests. Your mutual expecations may align over time, or not. Talk it over, wait and see...or not. | |
