I had been doing it for about 2 months, when I met someone. We have been dating in person for one month and we traveled together, it is going really well. I don't know if we will ever be in love or spend the rest of our lives together, but I am enjoying being with him while I can. My suggestion to anyone doing online dating is be safe, cautious, and honest. I guess that globogirls.com will help you a lot.<br />ninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393767179845498114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844014691967758208.post-25973613021167993672013-04-20T00:45:11.258-07:002013-04-20T00:45:11.258-07:00Great article!

I guess the point I was trying to make is that there is validity to both sides of the argument. I can understand why gay rights activists feel like they are being slighted and I get why religious activists are concerned about gay marriage becoming legal. My purpose for writing this wasn't to start a debate about who's wrong and right, it was to point out that this issue is a lot more grey than it is black and white; I was hoping to encourage people to find more common ground and understand both sides.

Standing strong for what we believe is right and extending the ability for others to choose for themselves don't have to contradict each other as so many people seem to believe. Just my thoughts.

I personally don't have a problem with taking out a girl who has been married before. I feel like a lot of it has to do with the fact that people put so much emphasis in Utah at least on the eternal aspect of marriage. There are a lot of people who assume that since you've been married before then you must not value eternal commitments or you are to blame for your divorce. The fact is that simply isn't true, there are plenty of great people who've been in bad marriages to no fault of their own. Anyone who is worth dating will take the time to learn about your past and be willing to accept who you've been and where you are now. I hope that doesn't come off as condescending, but I really feel learning to accept people for who they are and where they have come from is key to developing healthy relationships.

Yet everyone's talking about finding a cure, and wear pink, and no one is talking about providing more funding for victims and having higher conviction rates for perpetrators. People assume we lie if we speak out against our attackers.<br /><br />We make less $ than men for doing the same work.<br />We pay more for shampoo and health care.<br /><br />And we have a lot of plastic surgeons here because of the U med school. The doctors like it here, and don't leave. Our plastic surgery is much cheaper here than elsewhere because there's more supply than demand.Jilliannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844014691967758208.post-32156393364723314272012-09-25T01:56:30.998-07:002012-09-25T01:56:30.998-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379741690091930330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844014691967758208.post-25652065525950272332012-07-13T16:54:07.613-07:002012-07-13T16:54:07.613-07:00B.

The concept of the "friend zone" Love your comments on that. I've heard plenty of people say "girls fall for their friends, but guys never will." I've seen that statement proven wrong on more than one occasion. In fact I've had a conversation in which the guy said something right along those lines. It went something like this, "wasn't really all that into [the girl] at first but the longer we have been friends the more I have come to really like, trust and respect [the girl]." I do think there is too much emphasis on the romanticized idea of love. Personally I think love is more about those lasting qualities, because being with a person who has those outstanding lasting qualities will (almost) force you to feel the romantic lovey-dovey feelings for them. Anyway, that is my two cents worth.

We started discussing dating and different frustrations with the whole "game." We talked about how it really does seem like there are "teams" when it comes to dating, teams that are categorized by individuals. Really these teams are excuses to shut people out, based on this conversation with my friend. He agreed that all too often people classify others with trivial excuses. "Oh I can't date my coworkers because it might cause drama in the office." "I won't date in my ward because it might be awkward if we break up" "I don't date people in my classes because then people might think we cheat off of each other." These are all statements I've personally heard and it drives me crazy. Mostly because when you make a definitive statement like that you effectively eliminate so many prospective relationships. Hard and fast "rules" like that make it extremely difficult to see past the rule and into who the person really is. The "rules" may be comfort zone comments, but most times relationships aren't about comfort zone. Most times we have to step out of our comfort zone in order to find the place where we can be truly happy in a relationship with someone else. Besides, until you step out of the comfort zone you never really grow. I guess what I'm saying is, I agree with you. Unless we get out of this stereotyping/classification at a human race life won't be as fulfilling.Nichole Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657774056698566834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844014691967758208.post-90889561830219810082012-06-13T23:29:47.125-07:002012-06-13T23:29:47.125-07:00I totally agree with this blog "B".

Anyway, the way that she broke up with me showed me that she lied to me the whole time we were dating. She didnt want to marry me she just wanted to get married. Where my experience comes into play with your blog is that she had labeled me as an immature little kid. <br />I am also one that always looks at a girl and thinks she is too attractive for me or, I'm not her type. The last girl I pursued was like that. I had known of her in high school and had always had that thought of her being to beautiful for me. A couple months ago i met her and tried to pursue a relationship with her. Long story short, in the end my assumption was right from the beginning. BUT, at least i tried right? now i know instead of just assuming. And hopefully i am a better person from the experiences that i have gone through. <br />Thanks for the blogs "B" they really cause a person to think. Sorry for making my comment into a novel.

To be able to stay friends is the best way. When you think about it, dating is like trying on clothes. Not that I am trying to compare people to clothes but it works. You try on a shirt, see how it fits, if it doesn't, try on another one. Its the facts of dating. Its not always going to work out so why not end it as friends with no hard feelings. In my dating experience though it has never really worked out this way. I have pursued multiple girls and each one after the first, second or even third date, once they have decided that I'm not the "right fit" decide that instead of telling me they feel that ignoring me is the best way to go about this. Quote from one of these girls to her friend was "I'm just not going to initiate anything and hopefully he will get the hint." Other girls tell me that they didnt get my text message or my voicemail that i sent 5 days earlier. Or they just flat out ignore my attempts at communication. What i am trying to say "B" is that more people, boys and girls, need to be more like your "Britaney" girl. Once she realized that it wasnt a "good fit" she talked to you about it like a mature adult. Rather than being selfish and treating you like you have no feelings and that you are just a... thing. So now there are no hard feelings and you both are actually still friends. I think that is another important part of the break- up that i hate. The "Lets be friends" line. The girls that have told me that I have never heard form again. I try to communicate and get ignored. If you dont want to be friends then dont say it. just say "hey I'm not interested. I dont see it working out. Have a nice life." Be more tactful of coarse but to sugar coat it to me is insulting. I would feel that they are looking at me like I am a child that needs pampering. <br />Anyway, thank you "B" for this blog. It has helped me to try and be a more magnanimous person in the dating world and to not take things so personal.

That requires the assumption that they are somehow 'better' than you or that you are not 'good' enough for them, which is not true. If they are not interested, so be it. But it is not because they are somehow on a higher plane than you. If they feel that way, or feel that they are 'too attractive for you' I think that's a flawed perspective.

Not that your not or not that you haven't but I just thought about all the girls I dated and when I realized that I needed to just stop dating and making out with every girl and actually look for a wife Kailie came along. When I took her on our 3rd date I knew I was going to marry her and I told her I loved her a few dates after that.... scared the shit out of her but I knew she was the one so I worked freaking hard and finally she said she loved me too...

That may work better for you.<br /> <br /> One thing though, don't EVER feel that you are doing anything wrong. Be yourself. That is the most attractive quality anyone can have ( in my opinion) when we are truly ourselves is when we really connect with other individuals and being ourselves is not easy.
