Disillusioned Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 A lot of people are pushing back against fate. Come over here and look into the crystal ball with me... Most of us know the "any port in a storm" mentality pretty much went out with the printed personal ads, but I see most other singles pushing back against the inevitable. We want the old, inefficient methods back. With the advent of online dating, it had to happen, and now most of us don't want it. Does this sound crazy? It is. (Hey, don't blame me... I didn't invent the Internet...) Everything is pointing toward a future in which the relationships that last, will be the ones where the man and the woman sit down across the table and ask each other questions about what they want in a relationship, checking off boxes on their notepads in a cold, businesslike fashion. Then if they both check enough boxes on their notepads, the ice melts. Simple as that. That scenario would work for me, but I'm too far ahead of my time. For most other people, this scenario is like something out of a bad sitcom. Anyhow, now you've had your peek into the crystal ball... go back to pushing back while you still can. Me, I welcome the future, not fear it.

We want the old, inefficient methods back. Most of us? Not sure about that. Personally I'm unfamiliar with how dating worked in the 1700s.
Jynxx Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 LOL karma. I see how it's comforting to believe things will be ok and will work out without effort if you've been treated unfairly, but that's not how the world works. Those who take action and leave the past behind get results, those who keep feeling like a victim won't. Or to quote The Departed: Nobody gives it to you. You have to take it.

Simple as that This is the same way that is has always been, is now and will always be for people who have quality relationships. This entire quote can be summed up in two words : Good communication. Get everything out on the table, I disagree that it has to be cold but I think almost businesslike is a very good way to describe it. The best relationships I have had....had this style to them.
TaraMaiden Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Nobody ever dodges karma. Nobody. Ever.. Why? because karma doesn't mean 'consequence'. Karma means 'action'. Volitional action. Whatever you do, with intent, IS karma.
carhill Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Sometimes there's global warming and sometimes there's an ice age. Communication is good but I'll pass on the lists.
