You are a romantic, aren't you! *hugs*

I surely am. Unfortunately, most women don't appreciate that now a days. They prefer the bad boys over the gentleman.

That's not true! Women who REALLY want to have a lasting relationship with a man understand and appreciate the value of romance. It's girls who still want to experience life and aren't really ready for commitment (though they may honestly believe otherwise) who don't place any measure on a romantic man. ...they just want to have fun, which is fine, but when they're ready, they look for a man who can offer more than a thrill

I guess I shouldn't have said most. But quite a few do feel that way. My feeling is why look for someone to have fun and then find someone that you can have a relationship with when you can establish a good relationship with someone that can treat you well and have fun at the same time. This was one of my most perplexing thoughts when I was a relationship counselor (no joke I really was) and it still baffles me.

There are many factors that cause women to behave as such...maturity, attraction, sexual drive...all these things can vastly effect her judgment. When she says, "It's not you, it's me." she really means it. Everyone has to experience life, make mistakes, and come into wisdom in their own time and in their own way. You may have simply dealt with women who hadn't reached that level of maturity or whose appetites had changed for one reason or another *hugs*

How funny. When guys say "It's not you it's me..." its really her. And yeah, most of the women I've encountered both as patients and romantically hadn't arrived at the level of maturity that's indicative of desiring a serious monogamous relationship. That's why I used to always tell clients to use good judgement and I say that to most people I speak to in general to use good judgement both in life and in relationships. It seems to be falling on deaf ears though.

Just keep saying it because even if you think it falls upon ears without hearing, the ones who are listening may not always let on that they are. *hugs*

You're wise. You sound like me when I talk to others. I want to subscribe to your weekly newsletter.

*blushes at the same time* Thank you, Sir.

*huggles*

Nope. My ex-fiance' used to call me that and I thought it was a cute pet name so I decided to get a tattoo to commemorate it

As tends to be the case most of the time, the tattoo outlasted the relationship.
