Lessons learned this week...

I thought it would be fun and educational to share one lesson we learned this week when dealing with our dating lives... So if everyone would be so kind to share what they learned, it would be great!


This week I learned that I let too much of myself go in my last relationship, meaning that I stopped worrying about me and worried more about what he thought of me... I gave up way too much power.


So what about you? :o)

This week I learned that jumping into something with a new guy is not a good way to get over the old guy. In the end you need to get your own life back before you can ask someone else to be a part of it.

This week, I am in the process of re-learning, yet again, that I am not a "fling" person!!! I just can't do it, try as I might.

Wow. I am floored by all of you! I never expected to have this many responses, thank you. And you've all just cemented other lessons in my head, thanks!

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this. Not only was it good to think about what I learned, it helped to read other peoples experiences, as sometimes they pertain to our own, and you can draw off of that.

Id love it if you did this everyweek. I dont think the board has to just be a place to go with our problems, but with good and bad experiences and lessons too. Keeps it interesting. So I hope to see a post on Sunday or Monday asking that question again. Personally I already have another response all ready for you!! LOL

True - there is boy talk and girl talk. We don't communicate in the same way so it's important to communicate as clearly as possible and to find out what he needs (and doesn't perhaps) on intimacy front. We are different beings and must respect and udnerstand those differences!
