I mean, could not DLL and I just love more withoth the crap of society? I mean, each night, she and I talk...........and love..............I just wonder.........should we move.............really...........I want her here..............in the south.............yet she is bound in the north.................I just do not know..........I do not..............her voice is so sweet upon my ears................I want her here so much..............I cry to her.......come lover........come...........make us whole...............

A new question for regulars and anyone else who happens to drop by.

What would you be most concerned about in your first few meetings with someone you think you could fall for? What would you be most interested to learn about this new person in your life?

In other words, how do you determine if you have found "the real thing?"

I don't know about anyone else but I'm very intuned to chemistry. A word, a feeling, an attitude... they all can add up to the good or for the bad. It's almost a catch 22...

If I get past that point, I want to know how they get along with their family... how close they are, how much respect they hold for them, if they hold grudges, etc.... That alone can tell lots about the person!! I'm very family oriented and have a hard time understanding someone that's not....

Kudos, ya'll... have a magnificent Thursday!!

Thanks for the answer, Liza. So much starts with chemistry, but it seems to me that you're right: what really matters is a person's character. If you can't admire their character, where can you go from there?

hmmm...in my best brando..yes Liza familys very important

 

[midwestyankee]

In my best Brando, "so, where's the butter?"

Yes, ladies, family is indeed important.

Something else that I think would be important is in a person's sense of humor. To wit:

"There is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

So, watch them laugh, watch them smile. And then pay attention to what did the trick.

The smile is all important to me. Whether it's a smile of shyness or an ear-to-ear grin from great fun, so much of who we are shows up in our smiles. That's part of what I look for.

Ah yes, Yankee... wit is very important!! Laughter is a must whether it's a joke or even laughing at yourself for some stupid odd reason!!! Thanks for that gentle reminder....

Smiles carry as much as the eyes!

Have a great Friday!!

Thanks, Liza, I intend to have a great Friday. I hope you will too.

As long as we're on the subject of smiles and laughter, I wonder if there is anything quite as powerful in bringing (or keeping) two people together than the realization that they deeply enjoy the same pleasures in life. While I realize it isn't earth-shattering, but it always saddens me to hear of couples that do not, or can not, enjoy the same books, movies, or other entertainment together. When he has a dark sense of humor and would enjoy watching Pulp Fiction for the third time and she won't give the movie a chance and instead insists on watching the latest Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts heart-tugger - even if it means watching alone, it just seems to me that they are missing out on one of life's great pleasures: deeply enjoying themselves in each other's company.

Just a quick thought for a Friday morning.

Enjoy your loves or thoughts of love, everyone.

I too believe you are raising a powerful point here. Sharing deep joy - even beyond the sexual experience.

My wife and I have many private passions and interests, rooted outside our relationship, that we enjoy bringing into it to share.

But it took us (me? - yea, me) quite a while to learn to enjoy dancing within our relationship. I've known since we met that dancing is one of my wife's deep passions and pleasures. I felt too embarassed/awkward dancing, period, to do anything more than slowdance with her at weddings and such. To be sure, I've enjoyed watching her dance all along. Oh yea. It has always been a powerful turn-on to see the mystery in her eyes and movement of her womanly shapes. She can put me into a trance, even while fully clothed. I'll leave it at that.

She finally gathered the courage to go dancing with friends as I chose to stay behind at home. I'm not proud to say it took my jealousy to at least to try enjoying this with her. Today, I'm so glad to dance with her even though I still feel somewhat the clutz. But every time we start I feel my deep joy and lust pouring forth when I dance with her in her freedom released. And I've also learned to appreciate that tang of jealousy when, on those occasions when I've choose to just sit, I watch the joy and lust fill another man's as they dance with my wife in her primal joy.

My wife has a gift of deep joy, it just took me a while, a long while, to gather the courage to appreciate it.

[TantaLiza]

Yes, Yankee... I also agree that couples would be so much better off in sharing common interests. Reminds me of one of my few and far between "relationships"... he enjoyed hockey and scary movies... I'm not interested in sports nor do I like horror flicks. After our short months together, I came away with a fascination of hockey (although not an all time fave) and a toleration of for his kinda movies. I took the time to watch and learn of things I didn't know of. I could even now be talked into watchin one of those movies IF I'm allowed to hide deeply cuddled in strong arms so I can burry my face if need be... lol

Lookin forward to learnin more in the future...

Sky, this is quite a moving tribute to sharing and risk-taking. Both are essential elements in a loving relationship, it seems to me.

Liza, like you I had to learn to let myself sit in on certain kinds of movies. I can at least tolerate the sappy ones like Under the Tuscan Sun now. Of course, I have yet to talk someone into giving the same effort to watching my black comedies (Pulp Fiction, Fargo). But perhaps if I am patient.

Thanks for the story.

 

[TantaLiza]

LOL... I can sit thru almost any movie now!! Psst... I liked Fargo no matter how odd it was!!

Now back to my lonely existence for the evening.... may be back later for the next level of questions!!

sports defining love

Now, as we contemplate sports and love, we must realize that, the two go hand in hand.........the vigor.....the essence, the camaraderie of a sports team relates innately to the intimate association of love........yes.......individuals joined in a common goal.......the success of all rests upon the desires and efforts of the individual.

Even as Liza indicated..........the love and teamship brought her to a new existential satisfaction with a certain genre of movies.

*shaking head....*, sports, love, blowing ya'll a kiss........so holistically conjoined...........

Red, I am doing my best to read between the lines here. So which of these is true:

1) You're leading in your office NCAA pool.
2) Your favorite team is still going in the NCAA tournament.
3) Your favorites baseball team is having a good spring training.
4) You just played your first round of golf for the year and haven't gotten over your enjoyment of the 19th hole yet.
5) All of the above.

When in lust with one's putter, it is wise to remember the old adage, "Never up, never in."

You can have Duke (many times over)

Kentucky is a fine place, just be sure to select your women before you select your bourbon.
