| Are your expectations fading ? Has your Outlook changed? Posted: 5/25/2008 1:11:06 PM | While I maintain hope that I might actually meet a woman thru this site that is drama free, is actually down to earth and prefers quality to quantity... and actually acts in this way.
I'm having a change of heart to some degree !
Okay many of you are "hooked up" with someone, to some degree ! Perhaps it's a casual, hook-up every second weekend and it meets your needs.. whatever.
But is what you have... simply "good enough" ? Is that romantic... survival enough to carry you ? Will it remain as it is ? With No progression to something more serious and intimate ?
Has your love life hit a plateau and it's "good enough" ???
Is the goal of "falling in love" and doing all these wonderful things togeather been set aside for you have met an adequate lonliness filler ?
What is one supposed to do when ..... they want so very much more.... yet see's a ltd selection at the buffet table ? Does one snack to satisfy a "grumble" or hold out for the full course meal ? (if option #2 is chosen... how will that persistent, as of yet unsatisfied hunger effect your outlook as time wears on ? ) | |

| Are your expectations fading ? Has your outlook changed ? Posted: 5/25/2008 1:19:02 PM | | I've stayed hungry for ages and resisted the temptation of any snacks being offered along the way. I figure it will make me more appreciative when my big fish finally lands on my plate. Those that settle for snacks inevitably stay hungry in one way or another ;) Wait for the real deal IMO, because if you settle for less you won't be free when it finally becomes available. | |

| Are your expectations fading ? Has your outlook changed ? Posted: 5/25/2008 1:27:51 PM | I have been resisting a tasty morsel for a while now because I could not see it going the distance. It is not easy and I am still not sure if it is the right thing to do.
So far no surprises here, barely a nibble but then again I have not really been baiting the hook. | |

If you’re feeling the grumble, why would someone resist a snack?
Is jerking off or using a vibrator better?... I suppose no one does that either.
If you wanna starve yourself, knock your self out… all I know is, I’m a lot happier when my stomach is full. | |

I mean, there are kids, financial circumstances, differences in interests, and such which keep you apart and seem sometimes, to stall things. It can be frustrating, to be sure. All I can say is thank goodness for video games and books and friends who you can be with. | |

| Are your expectations fading ? Has your outlook changed ? Posted: 5/25/2008 1:59:42 PM | ^^^^^ What if the full course meal doesn't come for a couple of years?
How does snacking ruin it if you're just as hungry when it does come along?
The problem with snacking is that it reminds people of what's really missing... not many people want to be reminded of that.

In the last year I met two women that I would have liked to pursue a little further but it did not hit me they took a liking to me until I went on my merry way.
The one thing I have against snacking is that, like chips, I can not have just one. Next thing you know you just automatically reach for another chip and before you realize it another season has gone by. It was ok in younger days but it is too easy to get entwined in someone else’s life and it is hard to get out. It may actually not be so bad and there you stay for a couple of years.
Unless the other person is also there just for some light hearted fun someone will get hurt.

Sometimes snacks turn into full course meals. Sometimes full course meals can give you botulism. Sometimes full course meals fill you up, but a short while later you’re just as hungry.
Moral of the story: If you’re hungry… EAT… there’s nothing wrong with accepting a chocolate bar and a couple of cookies… besides, they may offer you steak and lobster if they enjoyed your company. | |

| Are your expectations fading ? Has your outlook changed ? Posted: 5/25/2008 3:19:02 PM | Just have to watch out - I've heard of numerous people waiting for their full course meal only to be burned.
I just wish it was easier to order a full course meal rather than have to go out and hunt for it, because from what I've seen so far I think I would starve to death. | |

That is very true. If one were about to partake of a meal that looked and smelled intriguing, they don't have to gobble it all up right away. Quite possibly, after a few bites, it doesn't taste good, gives heart burn, etc.... one could simply not take another bite.
It's not good to waste food, so the person should avoid taking two bites out of every dish available. | |

You need to be able to keep your perspective  | |

| Are your expectations fading ? Has your outlook changed ? Posted: 5/25/2008 4:07:58 PM | My expectations have not faded or changed at all.
There are some that like to indulge in snacks, and some that dont.
Myself, I tried snacking once, and it did not sit well in my tummy...so I will wait for the full meal deal...I would upsize if asked as well! LOL | |

You then discover that the meal is really a snack and you tell them to take down the Keg sign. | |

| Are your expectations fading ? Has your outlook changed ? Posted: 5/25/2008 4:48:23 PM | Boy am I glad we all are having fun with this.... LOL
But unfortunately I have met way, way too many "snackers" ... some know they are ! , _ others either pretend or don't realize they are... and some,.... sadly... do not believe in the full meal deal" anymore and just accept snacking as "the way it is now-adays" !
RYN hit the nail on the head, I think. At this stage of life we are less likely to compromise.. we all have lives and histories which brought us here. We're generally "set in our ways" as to schedules, routines, hobbies, habits,... likes and dislikes.. etc
That some will never stop "snacking" !
So do you give up and snack ? If you do... do you invest anything..? Expect it to fail..? Know it will fail ..but think....."what the hell! " ?
Now if you either don't invest anything ..or very little... I could see the reasoning behind the argument... For snacking
But if you have a trait similar to mine, where nothing is done half-azzed... That just soooo goes against "the grain" of something internal. Shiet,...! and I don't have that kind of emotional energy / drama reserve... to go thru "failures" regularly !
I've met many, many women.... and there were times when ...... I wanted to snack & was hoping for a full meal ! But was intellectual enough to realize.... it would just be snacking and reigned in my ... my..... wtf ..Do I would i call it ??? Hmmmm ( my feelings, my lusting, my efforts, my ..... fears ? )
Now show me how many people ( not those that just "talk the talk") ; But those that fully realize... the chances of finding "perfection" are quite long ! That is if you maintain any sort of list !
I believe that if I meet that special someone.... she'll inspire in me the ability to "fight and not flight", "shiet or get off the pot".... ...
Thats when hope and desire and of course "fate" ( or whatever you choose to call it ) plays a role in presenting various situations and Opportunities.... ( some that which we wished we could "do over" again ! ) ..lol
And things will work them selves out..... so that we both will be "happier than pigs in ...."
PRINTER- It's all in the heart buddy ! Is she "worth" a potential draw on the reserve ? If you can handle it.... and you really like her... why not ? FLYING- ... LOL.... your priceless ! | |
