Falling in love a thousand times

[cyphercat]

It happens!
And it's welcome, and it's intense, and good, and everything!
It doesn't have to be directed at someone, but it can.
And you can receive a good word like a first kiss, and you'll think you're 13 again.
Not even being drunk!
I remember when I thought I would never fall in love again, but it happens a lot now.
And the feeling of a broken heart is just giving up the notion of it.
But you skin your knees when you fall down.
If the men in the world are expected to be cage fighters, and do stunts on shows like "Jackass", then what should a young man have to expect when it comes to falling in love?
God to do it for him?
It takes two people to move. If the girl isn't going to move, then you have to, because she's thinking the same thing!
So young men, you have to get up and move, because she isn't going to!
And you'll have to face a lot of rejection, but us who have been playing video games and been watching skateboard videos and listening to punk rock music have a lot to learn on the way to actually capturing it!
And it is a journey we will all take!
So move young men, you ask God to send you someone, but she's asking God to send her someone too!

I was expecting this from someone . But it's valid .
Yes, but I failed to realize something.
Yes, I was open to the idea of getting married again. Yes, I placed everything in God's hands.
BUT, I realized that God doesn't remove the free will of the girl that might be the one that I fall in love with.
That means that someone has to do some work. One of us has to get motivated, and get communicating.
I can pray that God bring me someone all my life, but if neither of us makes a move and gets communicating, we'll both just sit there praying forever!
And I think the man should move!
And then I stood up and said, "Yes, I can move! I need to move! I'm a man and I talk to people about Christ! If I can talk to people about Jesus and not worry about rejection, certainly I have nothing to fear about approaching girls I want to talk to!"
And everything changed.

My thread still stands. It says that God is there if you are hurting, but that if you're hurting and you have to go through it, then you will hurt and God is still God.
I just didn't realize that it was up to me to make the first move, and stop waiting for the girl to do all the work.

Kevin Flynn: Hey! Hold it right there!
Bit: Yes.
Kevin Flynn: What do you mean, "yes"?
Bit: Yes.
Kevin Flynn: Is that all you can say?
Bit: No.
Kevin Flynn: Know anything else?
Bit: Yes.
Kevin Flynn: Positive and negative, huh? You're a Bit, aren't you?
Bit: Yes.
Kevin Flynn: Well, where's your program? Isn't he going to miss you?
Bit: No.
Kevin Flynn: I'm your program?
Bit: Yes.

In my head the opening theme from TRON is playing.
I like the soundtrack from TRON Legacy a lot.
It must have been so exciting for Daft Punk to have been asked to compose it!
How would you go about doing that?
I mean, Tron is not in a thousand years worthy of the attention that Jesus is, but it is pretty cool.
How would you approach composing the theme for the successor to something that touched so many people at ages young and old?

Dated lots of women and been in love many times. Unfortunately I'm the one who always gets his heart broke. I've been single for 6 and a half years. Tired of being alone. Ready to try again, but I'm scared. I met a nice girl at church. She sings in the choir. We're just friends right now. I hope that someday we can be more than friends. There is a big age difference. I'm 38 and she is 24. Age should not matter. Please feel free to post your opinion. God bless preacha24_7

Love.. is complicated and confusing and risky but totally worth it if you can find the right person to fall in love with. I've been hurt... more than I care to mention simply because in relationships I tend to be the one caring/loving more than the other person I guess I just love unconditionally. Being hurt like that I can understand why one would prefer to keep their heart guarded however, you can't always do that you may lose out on someone truly amazing while you're trying to protect your heart. All I can say is if the person is also a believer put it in God's hands and ask him for guidance.

Well, as long as I drink 1 or 2 bottles of cough syrup every day or so, a girl will never fall in love with me.
And I'm not giving up the cough syrup for a couple of years so I guess I'm stuck. Exercise won't help.
I could lose 200 pounds and the angels of God would still prevent me from talking to females.

I think that the easier someone falls in love, the more likely they will have their heart broken over and over. It's not a bad thing to guard your heart... it's actually a good thing, as long as you don't become hardened. Sometimes I wish men would guard their hearts more closely. If men fall in love too easily, women have to be even more careful not to awaken feelings that can't be reciprocated. And that can be a heavy responsibility.

I think it depends on how you define love. It sounds like you're talking about the head-over-heels, gushy, puppy-dog type of love, though correct me if you're not. The other, deeper type of love I think is harder to fall into thousands, or even hundreds, or even tens of times.

Though, I've never been in either type of love once, so perhaps I'm talking about things I don't know.

That's an interesting POV, I've never heard anyone say that it's the womans responsibility to prevent awakening feelings like that in a man. I think the reality is, that's impossible to stop. If a man get's enchanted by a woman's beauty and he's infatuated with her personality, he's a goner.

No more gray areas. Pornography is adultery. Downloading movies, music, and software is theft.

Allow me to give you food for thought. Drinking 2 bottles of cough syrup a day is drug abuse.

[h=3]Why Do Kids Abuse Cough and Cold Remedies?[/h] Before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) replaced the narcotic codeine with dextromethorphan as an over-the-counter (OTC) cough suppressant in the 1970s, teens were simply guzzling down cough syrup for a quick buzz.
Over the years, teens discovered that they still could get high by taking large doses of any OTC medicine containing dextromethorphan (also called DXM).
Dextromethorphan-containing products — tablets, capsules, gel caps, lozenges, and syrups — are labeled DM, cough suppressant, or Tuss (or contain "tuss" in the title).
Medicines containing dextromethorphan are easy to find, affordable for cash-strapped teens, and perfectly legal. Getting access to the dangerous drug is often as easy as walking into the local drugstore with a few dollars or raiding the family medicine cabinet. And because it's found in over-the-counter medicines, many teens naively assume that DXM can't be dangerous.

I don't suppose it's a woman's responsibility per se, but I still feel the weight of it. Or maybe just guilty that someone feels something for me that I don't feel for them. The first question I ask myself is, "Did I do something to encourage this?". We DO need to be careful with others' feelings. I dunno.

You're one of those sireens.

I had a family member that drank a bit. Well, no he drank all the time and once I saw him drink a whole bottle of robitussin in the car and then he went "ahhhhh" after he was done and when he did, it was a smell I don't think I can describe.

This story doesn't sound good does it. I was just a kid and - well one more reason not to FB myself. Good news was I never coughed too much after that just out of fear of having to take the stuff.

Well you've accidentally brought down the Titanic.
OOPS
I'M JOKING
It's okay.
This whole thing is God's doing and it's been solid gold.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHO TO DEVELOP FEELINGS FOR, AND NOW THAT THE DRUG IS OUT OF MY SYSTEM I WON'T FOR QUITE A WHILE.
But it's cool.
Look, a simple picture and an indication of a woman's personality is all it takes to pull on the heart strings.
And if you happen to fall into the place where the guy seems to believe you're possibly "the one", there's a disaster waiting to happen.
BUT DON'T FRET.
EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL.
GOD IS ABOUT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION:
WHO HOLDS THE BURDEN OF RESPONSIBILITY IF FEELINGS OF ATTRACTION ARE AROUSED IN A MAN AND THEY ARE NOT AROUSED IN THE WOMAN
