What Part Of Hello Don't They Understand? Nov 6, 2009 11:38 pm Mood: confused, 149 Views Why is it you say Hello when you find someone interesting, good looking, with much the same feelings and outlook as you, but you are ignored? You send them a nice introduction letter telling them you found them attractive and interesting and would they like to be your friend, but you are ignored. You include photos and background information, all true explaining who you are, why you are there and what you hope happens when they meet you, but you are ignored. What do you label people who act this way, like they are too busy, too uppity, too pretty, too young or too good for you and instead of just saying thanks but no thanks, they ignore your attempts at making friendly contact. Were they lied to so many times and hurt so deeply that they became as empty and cold as the losers they were played by or are they the players? I have been hurt and unlucky in Love too, just as you perhaps but I am still a decent gentleman with a kind and friendly spirit who has enough good sense, manners and proper upbringing to reply when someone says hello. We should all try to remember, it may only be a friend saying Hello, not the enemy trying to break your heart. So, what part of Hello do you or don't you understand? All The Best CHARLES 5 Comments

When Is Too Much Too Much? Oct 22, 2009 1:17 am Mood: curious, 236 Views Hi Friends, I've been in touch with several new friends recently. We each had questions on points of interest about each other. When asked about last loves and reasons relationships ended, when is too much info not good? Is being truthful and too revealing not wise if it means providing a lot of info which may not even be welcome or asked for. Would you want to be overwhelmed by someone's hardluck track record and relive the stress raised with the telling of too many negative memories? I guess in some ways being too truthful may sound like a can of worms is being released. Sometimes less can be more, more productive and preferred. I think a better use of early contact time would be to focus on tomorrow's possibilities with this new person because yesterday with someone else may never be repeated so why overdo it? I use to think to be open and revealing shows trust and you have nothing to hide but it can have an unwanted reaction. How do you feel about hearing too much or do you have to know all the little details? 3 Comments

The Long Way Home Sep 27, 2009 6:22 pm Mood: Love Is All Around, 417 Views Hi Friends, finally over 5 yrs after I started this journey I end up here in FFF. This is where I was originally heading for a companion before talked into checking out Thailand by a friend who already had a Thai wife. You know the story, 3 mos later, I found myself scammed out of translator money, birthday gifts, time and emotion. It all ended when I received an email from her friend from Church who said she read our emails and knew we were in Love. She was sorry to inform me that my Love had committed suicide when I emailed her that I was ending our relationship. I was shocked after it was discovered she faked suicide, all orchestrated by her mother for so called orphan support. From there it was suggested by my same friend that I should look into meeting Chinese women. They are refined, educated, beautiful and readily available. DUH I should have learned with the first bad advice he gave me than to follow his advice to AFF. You know the story, 5 yrs later, 2yrs married in the states, green card in her hand and her gay son in NYC, telling her how much fun Chinatown is, zoom, off she goes.........To live in a Chinese boarding house just like in China. DUH Did we not cross the oceans of the world to leave that bee hive existence behind? I now find myself alone, in an empty house asking why and what next? I still have Love on my mind, I want and need a good woman to make my life complete. All The Best MoonSong 10 Comments
