Lessons learned this week...
| Thu, 12-08-2005 - 1:01am |
Two posters' messages affected me this week (and mind you, if I'm not quoting verbatim, excuse me):
First, Sheri posted and basically said how we all are going through our individual challenges here. Whereas one thinks a challenge is not contacting a person, for another it's a challenge to go outside of one's boundaries...
The second

Hi there! :)) I agree...None of us have all the answers! Things are very liquid in life....changeable. We need to be ready for good changes and bad at all times! Expect the unexpected. :))
HUGS! ;) Sara
OMG.
Sniff, that was me who said we are all muddling through. I'm so sad you didn't remember! :-( Just kidding!
Anyway, I do have something else to add due to a hard lesson I learned this week. It should be one of those things that's automatic, but I don't think most of us DO think about it automatically. I think that it is SO important to put ourselves in the other person's shoes and say to ourselves "How would I feel if someone said this/did this to me?" Like with SBC's situation with the guy she just wants to be friends with. I thought about it and how I would feel if someone KNEW that they were not in a place that they wanted to be romantic and yet didn't tell me that until after we met. But we can only treat people how we would want to be treated and try to respect people while still being kind.

The actual process of going on dates isn't complicated, the emotions involved with trying and failing to find the right person are complicated.
That's exactly what I was going to say...you don't get emotionally attached to your choice of entree, at least not most of the time ;-).

I would say it's difficult to find the right person rather than complicated.
