Be genuine. A woman has the instincts. Shower her with attention and compliments and dont be shy to drop a hint in a polished fashion.
Maybe said partner is just really tired at that point in time? I think it would be alright to atleast ask, if not, as they say, their is always the computer
For me, love is like that... if a girl likes me she shouldnt be able to talk about any guy and don't find any more guys hot and just have eyes for me... That's why i never get any, i always fight with 'em because when i love a girl, she's more important than the world for me, but the world is more important for her. I know that i will never get married and stuff, maybe if i was a good looking guy i would have more girls and more chance to find one that really loves me, but as i'm ugly as hell, no way! I always dreamed about a girl that thinks that i'm like her soulmate or something, but they are usually chicks wanting money/sex and looking at my car. Then i stopped to care about it, i let the girls with their good looking boys get married, get fat, get poor, get in trouble and so on, while i have my live and i don't have to care about any, i'm healthy, i have some money and i'm happy. And hardly a girl likes to talk about politics, the world, physics and stuff like that, they just watch stupid tv channels, buy some clothes, hardly study and get a job because of their looks. I just give my respect to the woman that work really hard and get their own stuff not because of their looks or something, because of talent that they have on their business. I will die alone but whatever, marrying, dating and stuff is all from bible, you don't need a woman to make u happy.
Thiagoo maybe you are just going for the wrong women. Man i used to be looking for just a woman that is a virgin cause i am one(compatibility) but it is more important that you find someone that you love and someone that loves u back. For me i cant marry a girl just because i love her and she loves me. For me we must love each other and both be catholic. Man u just need to be in the right places where these intelligent women reside. I see there are some very nice women here on DP. Why not start a singles thread here and start rocking and rolling dude. lol
Might be hard, i'm only 18 and i know that my age just got stupid people, but there might be one that isn't that stupid on the world heheh, i just don't have any luck! But kmon man, why does the girl needs to be catholic, if you love her God won't think that you are a bad guy or something, God wants you to be happy!
I agree Thiagoo... I've dated a few guys who eventually pulled away b/c I wasn't religious. It's pretty ridiculous, considering we tend to share most of the same values, and our morals are pretty much in line. If anything, it should have been something to scare me off (but I'll save the general religion rant for another day). The way I see it is that any religion that discourages honest love between two people, in favor of the old notions of forwarding the group, is just pathetic... moreso the people that allow religion to be an excuse for any form of discrimination. It's sharing underlying values that matters, and being in a situation that doesn't have to be "fun" and perfect all the time for you to be deeply happy. If you're lucky enough to find someone you actually want to "work" with to build something real, then hold onto that no matter what their religion is, b/c it very rarely comes along. And have a bit of faith kiddo. It's probably much harder to find someone like that when you're 18, but they'll grow up, and in a few years, it will get a lot easier... and the "hot" guys can start to lose their appeal on so many levels. Just associate with the right kinds of crowds to meet the kind of people you want to be with. In time, they'll appreciate a man who can keep them intellectually stimulated much more than some guy with bright eyes, perfect hair, and a six pack... as long as you're targeting women with more than two functioning brain cells. Just be patient.... or ask Denise where her type hangs out. j/k
Jhmattern that is your opinion, and your entitled to it, but it never discouraged me from loving someone outside my religion. I just couldnt marry them.What i find pathetic is to put another human being before my faith. Thaigoo try joining some social groups in where there are women who have similar interests to you. Just dont hook up witha clone of urself who is a woman, you need some diviersity to keep ya on your toes dude.
Its not a question if im a bad guy or not. Its a question if i believe in my faith or is it something that i will throw to the wind at any given chance for anyone. In my religion marriage is a sacrament of the church, pure and simple. MY friends are from all different religions and faiths, i respect their beliefs and they respect mine, and this is also part of mine. I was recently on a national talk show about this subject , but i really wasnt allowed to talk about it much, it was a less serious and more humurous look at virginity lol
I don't think anyone is questioning whether you're a bad guy or not. The problem is that most people don't honestly understand their own faith, nonetheless those of others. I was raised Catholic, so I do understand where you're coming from. The problem is that it has nothing to do with the beliefs behind the faith. This notion of marrying "your own kind" is encouraged in almost every religion. The reason is survival, and nothing more... it's the same in many ethnic and cultural groups. In reality, Catholics share the VAST majority of their faith with most other branches of Christianity. The differences are often political ones that led to breaks in various churches centuries ago. Someone doesn't have to be Catholic to be able to respect you, or share your values and beliefs in God. God isn't the one who would condemn love for someone lucky enough to find it, especially with a truly good person sharing their values... that lies solely on the political nature of the church "organization" instead, trying to ensure its survival. ... and I promise not to say another word here about religion and relationships. It's not worth it on a relaxing holiday weekend, and not really something anyone will likely change their mind about anyway.
Jenn.... I must say, I've found another reason we are so alike. I once dated a guy who decided after a few months that we weren't compatible because I wouldn't become a Christian for him. This was, of course, after he had explained to me countless times that it didn't matter and that he liked me for ME and he wouldn't change a thing. Uh huh.... funny how those words are forgotten I won't delve much deeper into the religious topic, but choosing to date someone only if they are of the same faith as you could potentially limit your romantic prospects. What happened if you fell in love with somebody who wasn't Catholic and you found out about it? I don't know how someone could just throw love away based purely on the basis of religion, but of course that's your decision.
Denise if you truely believe in love you know that soulmates exist forever, and yes i have been in love with women that werent catholic, romantic love is an awesome feeling and an essential one in my life but if i have to throw away who i am for any woman than i might as well throw my faith out the window. Im not catholic because i was brought up that way, i drifted around till i found out that this is home and if any woman wants to share my home with me she will be catholic. I truely believe thought that i will see all my soulmates up in heaven(if i make it lol) and then i will tell them all how i feel. See your looking at love in a very limited earthly way, but i know better as i have experienced feelings for women that go beyond my mind, emotions and gonads
Actually, I'm not looking at love in a limited way. I know what true love is. I don't have to necessarily believe in the concept of soulmates in order to understand what loves means to me. No one said you have to throw your faith away for a woman. But why should a woman have to deny who she is because her religion (or lack thereof) doesn't fit with yours?
i never once said she has to deny who she is. I just said that marriage is a sacrament of the church to ME. You see my concept of a marriage is ME, my soulmate and the holyspirit. Now some people dont care at all about that and i respect their right to, but i know exactly what im looking for and i wont accept anything but that. That said, the women i have been friends with know this about me from day 1 and they respect it very much and i respect them very much. Sometimes a small part opf me wishes things were different but thats only a very small part of me. I cant wait till this san diego winter is over with lol
Yea seens right, i think that marriage is a serious stuff like you said... I got quite sad when britney spears got married for just some hours, she was like making fun of something serious and people still like her(she's hot and stuff, but shes really dumb and stupid). And pingpong belives on something different like everyone here do... I'm glad everyone isn't the same, in that way you have more chances to find someone that is just like you. Some people even likes to fell pain, it isn't their fault, everyone is born on different hospitals, with different parents and have a different life... So everyone should respect each other. What i don't really see why man usually takes so much to marry a woman, after dating her for like 6 months you can easily know if she's really that good... If you aren't gonna marry her just broke up, i found really stupid that people dates for more than 2 years just interested on sex or something and is never gonna propose marriage. I guess people should take dating more serious. I'm really enjoying this thread, peace!
