When you know, you know

[miss_jaclynrae]

People would have to be rational! Scary proposition. Sex feels good due to the nerve endings, PLUS the chemicals. It's a double whammy. Girl's equipment is much more interesting. They get 3 intense pleasure spots and 2 different results!(well, sort of.) Guys get one. What a rip. Yeah love is pretty addictive, true that.

 

 

 

 

 

You really should go take sexual health again...

[iKING]

Maybe I am lucky.Maybe that is why I believe in "just knowing" because the man who I ever in my entire life felt the most insane and intense connection with... After date number one I knew that I was right about that feeling. Call me a romantic, but as I said... We have been inseparable since. To be able to meet someone you have a spark and initial connection with, and then turn around and Practically live together after one week of knowing each other? Recipe for disaster right?

 

 

But no, our emotional, mental, physical and connection on any other level is the most intense thing I have ever experienced. We spend every minute together when not working, we dont have cable or Internet so when together we truly are together. Playing board games, cookIng dinner together, drinking coffee and just talking, painting together, working out together... I am grateful and feel like this really is a miracle. We have created a relationship on the initial feeling of knowing and it is a true relationship. Where we support, love, and are there in every way possible for each other. Where one of us can have a ****ty day and we know that the best thing to do is just let them vent and when one of us gets upset at the Other we give them their cool down space and do what it takes to show we understand. We validate our feelings, love each other with a passiOn, have more fun than any couple I know, and take the ****ty days as proof that sometimes to know you have something awesome you need to experience some ****! Lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of this built on a random encounter where we saw each other and "knew".

Things could end tomorrow and I would be shatterd, but I also would never settle for anything less that what I have experienced up until now.

 

Last relationship was pretty darn close to that. Let her move into my apartment after a week. We were together for like 6 months. It was nice while it lasted, not worth not giving it a try. I'm happy for you that you've found something special like that and I hope it goes wonderful! Sincerely. Enjoy it

I think that's great honey, but I could never be up someone else's butt like that day in and day out haha. I need my girl time, I'm in a book club, I have my volunteer work, and my political activism, the gym, etc. A relationship is just the icing on the cake.

 

But to each their own. Glad you're happy. Just don't burn out.

[iKING]

Ha! Well, let's see, you've got the g-spot, clit, and "coldesac" (essentially a deep bang spot), then regular orgasm and ejaculation, which are more or less the same, although the latter seems more intense.

 

Wow, that felt vulgar.

[Emilia]

Lol totally understandable. We don't have many friends to begin with, and we both go to school and work full time, so ultimately our time together has gone down a lot. My best friend just had a baby, his has a family school and work... So I mean it when I say we are best friends.

The real test will be in August when he goes to study abroad in France. One step at a time though!

 

 

 

 

Our crazy schedule is one reason whit works. We see each other in the morning, and for a few hours before bed. And on the rare day off together we are usually studying. Haha we are boring and old and dont drink or party and I love it!

 

 

It sucks sometimes, but we do our best to take day trips when we ge the time.

I meant on men... You do realize that YOU have more than one pleasure spot right?

Intense pleasure spots are two, and one I'm really not interested in.

I still stand by my theory that dating someone for years usually does not translate into marriage. The ones that go from dating to engaged to marriage within 6-18 months works the best. I wish there was a survey to back this up.

I completely agree.

[Woggle]

My ex and I met and were married in less than a year and not only did we divorce but the relationship crashed and burned in a way that would make the Hindenburg jealous.

 

My current wife and I dated for a year and were engaged for another year and we are on our seventh year and happy as ever.

totally. If two years passed and the guy didn't propose or hint at marriage... not gonna happen later either. I saw this so many times - and have it happened to me too!!!

Just goes to show you how different people can be in what they want in a relationship, because this sounds like my idea of hell! I need my alone time!

 

I'm happy for you, though!

That's not exactly slow.

 

IMO, after a year of dating, you should know whether or not you want to marry a person. And if you don't know at that point, that's an answer.

 

This assumes two people of marrying age, of course.

But she would have married me after one year. I insisted on living together for one year to test it out.

Ok - a whole other can of worms here but you DO know that people who live together first are at a much higher risk for divorce?

 

Not judging at all... but it's certainly no way to guarantee that you won't end up splitting up.

 

Logically speaking of course.

[truth_seeker]

My question to you and other women is - why did you stick around?

 

Hinting I think is cruel. It's only giving you false hope. They guy is just messing with you so you will back off.

 

I think people hang onto people because they're comfortable and they hope the "next best thing" comes to them before they leave.

[xxoo]

But you were engaged?

 

A year of dating and 6-12 month engagement sounds textbook perfect to me! Increasingly, though, my friends are skipping the engagement and eloping

It depends. I needed to know what daily life with her was like and when she passed that test with flying colors I married her.

I think this girl has her head in the clouds. She's happy now but give her another 3 months of this and she will suddenly not be in love anymore.

The first two years were great, but he didn't seem ready to settle. So I started my international career and a highly demanding program that made me travel for the two few years - we start a LDR and I start Europe trotting. The decision was for him to settle to whichever country I'd be sent in, after my program - and that I would push really hard for Switzerland. I got Switzerland. Another year later, he's still in Paris, we'd furnished the apartment and I was traveling like mad, still. I realize I am highly unhappy with that situation and I want some clarity. Start asking questions about getting engaged. The big avoidance game. By the end of the year, I leave. Beginning of next year, he comes back, nothing changes. I leave him for good. He gives me a beautiful ring. I tell him to pick whatever he wants from my house and leave. Make the math, you'll get about 7 years. Easy, no?

This should be textbook for people in their late 20's and up.

I have two friends with interesting stories.

 

Friend A) Been with his gf for 3 years, got engaged, together a total of 4, almost 5 years. They broke up.

 

Friend B) Dating a girl for 8 months. Just got engaged. By next year will be married.

 

Looking at both, Friend A had a good relationship but there was something holding them back from that final commitment. Friend B, there relationship has been making progress and feels like the right fit. No need to hold back.

 

This is why I think you should know sooner rather than later.

I've seen similar patterns over the years, even when it is the same man in two different relationships. In one, he moves slow, wonder if it is right, eventually break up. Woman probably ends up labeling him a commitment-phobe. Then he meets another woman and it just moves so easily toward marriage.
