Red Flag! Recovering Alchohic!

stares, says hi, blushes and runs away- what's up?

Height also plays no factor in height at all

Then too, Ive banged into my share of cervix's (What's the plural of cervix?)

What do you say in return?

Why do tall people degrade short people?
Why do races belittle one another?
Why do beautiful people look down on ugly people?
Why do skinny people pick on fat people?
Why are gay/lesbian people frowned upon?
We can ask why all freaking day and the answers will vary just as they will to your question....sometimes it's funny, sometimes it just a spur of the moment thing, sometimes it just down right mean, and sometimes it's just how someone really feels about another, nothing we say will change that, life is not always a bed of roses, it is sometimes a field of shit, just the way it is. I don't worry about things I can't change, I don't worry about changing other people's opinion, and I sure as hell aint the morale police, MEN VS. WOMEN has been a battle for as long as we have been alive, and it will continue to be one until we leave this earth, no winners just casualties. Bashing the opposite sex is kind of a stress reliever at times sort of like screaming at the top of your lungs or punching the wall doesn't change things but sure feels good and seems reasonable at the moment.....sorry for my long responses tonight, but I'm feeling like quite the writer...LOL

I am with Janet on this the more I re read the situation. 100%.

This is not about Children. It might be the fact the relationship is not very old. A little soon to even be discussing having any !

Something is missing.

And Finding and Maintaining a compatible long-term SO relationship IS
the second greatest challenge in life for most everyone

since success there REQUIRES SHARING about 50% power/control with another imperfect human being like yourself... S

Sounds like she has a broken picker, I'll bet this guy is just like her last BF that dumped her, I think you dodged a big curve ball, like someone else said, her loss is your gain. Don't sweat it, move on and have fun!

Personally, I think you should pack your bags, hop on a plane and "surprise" her in Toronto, Richard Gere-style, in a tux with a red rose in your teeth.

Maybe you also have realized by now that Finding and Maintaining a compatible long-term SO relationship IS
the second greatest challenge in life for all,

She feels that being exposed to frequent back and forth bickering as a child can foster resentment to one or both of the parents and even feels her upbringing is related to why she is hesitant to enter into another committed relationship. She doesn't want to have to deal with the conflicted relationship that she witnessed

Sorry to say, but despite the plethora of books and magazine articles that infest the world, with titles like "how to bring the excitement back," I've actually never witnessed first, or second hand, any sort of technique or ploy or mode of behavior which served to re-ignite things after they went off track.

Almost forgot the 2 paper bags!!!!

I have a similar story. Well, actually it's different... One night I was walking home & I made the mistake of taking a short cut through an alley. Two ball-busting women from POF blocked my path. I tried to talk some sense into them but they wouldn’t listen. This went on for about 10 minutes before I realized they weren't from POF. In fact, they weren’t even people, just two big garbage bags. I walked around them. When I got home I made myself a ham sandwich. I wanted to put mustard on it, but there was none left.

for some pple; orchestrated dating (whether by dating sites or thru others) seems too scripted and unnatural for any chemistry to develop. This is irrespective of how good of a person a date might be, if the underlying psychology works to create an emotional short circuit. This often occurs subconsciously. Thus, its quite possible if you'd had met that certain individual spontaneously (without anyone's aid), your outlook might have been different.
