I've only known one woman that I think I could have had a meaningful relationship. I liked her veeery much. And we clicked.. too bad she was taken though. To my friend.
I couldn't do anything, since I like being loyal. Too bad.

She was perfect though in every sense.. knowing her nasty habits too. Yeah.. very interesting individual, very smart, very beautiful, sexy, outgoing, had a smile that would give heart attacks to men, NOT PASSIVE, had own thoughts, very ambitious, couldn't sing for **** and when I laughed at her in karaoke (god knows why we were there?!) she came back and hit me good . Not submitting and 'don't laugh..' but really 'FU!' *Boom!*.
Special girl.. too bad.

I know.. you should have known her too.. everywhere she went she could make men do what she wanted. Just a smile and they were like under jedi spells 'yes ma'am'.
Had a great style.. was funny.. and the best thing is that we clicked too. Strong individual.. I like strong women, mentally. Who takes no **** from anyone. But doesn't act like men and swear and spit and be nasty like that.. that I don't like at all. She truely was a challenge..her own person. Well I stop talkign about her, I dont' want to threadjack..

Who needs to be smarter than knowing enough not to sh1t where you eat? Put one foot in front of another, and you have the secret to life.

How 'smart' does one need to be to consider oneself learned?

Hey, Imran - sounds like you will be in EXCRUCIATING pain for a long, long time. Bummer.

Basically, time will tell. You can't really know right away. Drives me nuts, all these people who go off after a month together and get married, thinking they're in love. Hell, they don't even know eachother. Give it time - a lot more time - and you'll know. Simple as that. It's not really anything you can describe, you just know.

This has been a vague and unhelpful public service announcement by Kirn.

anyway, she rocks my world and i look forward to spending more time with her for a long time to come


Yeah, that's it. Or, "Stage 1" to be more precise.

When you drive 2 and a half hours in rush hour traffic, stop to pick up food mid-trip, and then sign up a new account at a Blockbuster to rent "How to lose a guy in 10 days", just to watch it with your SO, go down on her, only to have her fall asleep before paying the favor back... then, driving home the early in the morning without showering because it will wake her parents up... and still wanting to be with her the next night.

What if you hadn't even met the person? I used to think I was in love with Richard Feynman, but I'm pretty sure that he surely doesn't want to receive the "Sexiest Man Not Alive" award any time soon.

No, I didn't. But it is. And living is just for procreation and continuing the species, but that doesn't mean I want to kill everyone that doesn't have kids .

It would be pretty cool to be able to spontaneously impregnate someone, like J.Lo, with the child of someone like Carrottop or Rush Limbaugh, just to do it.

well, there's always 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, often quoted at weddings:
quote:
Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.


then there's the Taoteching, and Kung Ho-Shang commentaries on verse 7:
quote:
Heaven is eternal and Earth is immortal / the reason they're eternal and immortal / is because they don't live for themselves / hence they can live forever / thus the sage pulls himself back / but ends up in front / he lets himself go / but ends up safe / selflessness must be the reason / whatever he seeks he finds

Kung Ho-Shang says, "The reason Heaven and Earth alone are eternal and immortal is because they are content and give without expecting a reward, unlike Man who never stops chasing profit and fighting over possessions."


this leads me to the conclusion that true love is quite rare. in my case, the way i see it is thus: i would give anything to make her happy. if she would be happier without me, then i will leave; if she would be happier with me, then i will stay. if she wanted a child and a home in the suburbs, i will do everything in my power, and then some, to provide her those things. i will give and give and give, never asking for anything in return, wanting only her happiness and asking for nothing other than that.
now, keep in mind that love must be reciprocal. she must also want nothing other than my happiness, and she must also be willing to do anything within her means to provide for that.

when two people ask for nothing and give everything to each other, when two people find nothing but happiness and joy in each other, when they are able to look beyond the human flaws and temporary problems of the present and accept each other completely without reservation, even when she's a complete and utter ***** in the morning before she gets her 2 cups of coffee, or you're a complete and inattentive pessimist ******* when it comes to things you think are stupid, idiotic, or hopelessly beyond repair, then you've got something.

but then again, love isn't exactly something one can have a set definition for. it changes with time for individuals, so...

beats me.

I thought I was in love a few times.

But reflecting back, I don't think I was.

It can be hard to discern between infatuation (or puppy love) and real love.

Only one couple in a hundred years has a chance at true love. Do you think that kind of thing happens every day?

Well I think it happens more often that you do. I'm just concerned that MRT144 has mistaken the first few months of multiple-times-a-day hard-core no-holds-barred sex for love.

Give it a month, mate.

But then again, why not dive right in. My folks got engaged after knowing each other for just over three weeks.
