I have a great story
Who really benefits from friends with benefits ? Shutterstock_45157963 How many of us have had heard this at least one time in ours lives: "Let's be friends".  Now what does that mean? Well, when a female says it, it usually she means friends as in a "movies and icecream" kind of friend. But I have observed when this is said by a man it means a "We still have sex but without any commitment" kind of friend  Ok g... Read more...

    Mr. Good Absolutely, excellent post! This is the best approach for women.

Not going to see each other until Iron Man competition is done in three months Images?q=tbn:and9gcsjuclhxds_zwffnwtfqyydsahg1b-eucem-dhxnx6a4mkllmx9og I had just started to date a really great guy when he dropped the bomb that he needed to totally focus on training for an Iron Man competition and that we would not be able to see each other for the next three months. I'm not an athlete and wonder if this intense focus on training is usual. The race is intense. Maybe this is necessa... Read more...

Polly who Played a Player 0 At University, Matt was the boy you loved to hate, and hated to love, but did so nonetheless. Jack Nicholson, James Dean, and George Clooney all rolled into one, he could turn the charm on and off like a light switch, and exhibited more hot and cold behaviour than a faulty refrigerator.  His modus operandi consisted of swooping in and making a w...

Sleight of Hand 0 Carrie was smitten.  Ever since she clapped eyes on Cory, she felt her stomach churn into a fluttering butterfly zoo.  She had never felt such instant attraction.  The bassist in a band, Cory was a touring free spirit. He emanated fun, youth and excitement.  And to further amp up the electricity, the sexual chem was clearly a two sided curren... Read more...

catherine3’s relationship with T
Fearful of Commitment? Images?q=tbn:and9gcrnowjn3isr-saodkemckb-ugfz7j9mhyqnzhyiw7ejwwzn2pd_kw I am involved with a guy I will refer to as T. I met him four months ago and we hit it off immediately. A few weeks after we started texting/talking, we started to hang out frequently, both sober and drunk. Once a physical relationship began, we hung out more and more. T and I see each other almost every day and spend the night together... Read more...

  • simplicity i say let him go, he is only in for the nice time time and probably for sex. so stop wasting your time and find someone who will recognize your worth

  • Rubinsh +1 for simplicity

    WalkRunSlide Say what you want and let him know you're serious. Why play games with him if you think he is playing a game with you. If he is the man you want, you need to know and let him know

  • Travelling Girl Hey Catherine! How are things going with T?

  • Default-avatar-75x75

    catherine3 thank you for all the comments and suggestions. T and I are over, but not a result of my decisions.

Think long and hard about who you want to commit and be exclusive to Wrong_relationship This is the best advice I've come across and it made me think about all the red flags in a relationship that I ignored for the sake of being in a relationship when the truth is, I would have been so much happier being single and exploring my options.

  • Rissa Bee it's the worst when you're with someone and you still feel alone. It's better to just be single!!!

    BeenThruALot It's true plus u have more time for urself and u dont have to worry to make a relationship that isnt working, work!

Severe Commitment Issues Images?q=tbn:and9gcr-uete7ewkju3bk9ejaofsjt45wwtbsth09epclnykjif8-b2d   I've attempted to try, and seriously go into a proper relationship. Yet time and time again I go for guys who are either players or not based in my area. I've dated guys and do have a keen interest in them yet I freak out when they like me. I try and find something bad about them or I ignore my feelings and block them out of m... Read more...

  • Travelling Girl I think you know where your problem lies. You go for the unavailable men because you don't want to really jump in and take a risk. These guys are never going to commit to you so you are kind of safe; you can keep your distance with them as much as they do with you.

  • Tickled Pink "We accept the love we think we deserve." Enough said.

    ahsim_2007 But It's gotten to the point were, if anyone is willing to try to go near me I give them the cold shoulder. I'm so used to being cold and shut off now I find it difficult to express my feelings.

    Daniela P. Perhaps there are some deeper issues that you may need to explore ? If you want a healthy relationship, you have to be a healthy person - mind, body and soul - ready to commit and if there's still underlying issues that interfere with your ability to be in a healthy, committed relationship, it might be in your best interest to seek professional help.

    Jezebella I feel you on this. I tend to like a guy more when I know he doesn't like me back. I'm working on it as well.

Dreamerella’s relationship with Nomad Musician
I finally understand why he can't commit... So I decided to play it cool and avoided contacting Nomad Musician until he made a move. He called the other day and we made plans to hang out today. We spent most of the day together and had more in depth conversation about his life which I won't get into details about. But basically he struggled a lot growing up. We eventually got into a c...

Would you try to compete for a person's love if they were still in love with an ex?

  • Travelling Girl Sorry to hear that Dreamerella. At least you know now. Looks like you should add something else to "What's not great about Nomad Musician" - "not over his ex"

  • Rissa Bee wow, the plot thickens no wonder why he acted the way he did. Travelling Girl is right at least now you know; Dreamerella I'm looking foward to the day when you meet someone who is more worth your time.
