Ugh, yes, I see that I've made mistakes with how I conducted myself on CC. The excitement of my first relationship ever blinded me to the fact that I was over sharing at times in our times together. I apologise to each and every one of you for the pain I may have caused. That was never my intention. I was naive and passionate, but that doesn't excuse my thoughtless behaviour and even good intentions can have bad outcomes. Please forgive me, my dear brothers and sisters. Thank you. Goodbye.

Tintin you guys were happy and trying to share that. I didn't think anything about your posts where outrageous or anything. Arlene shared a really nice story to. What happened is really your business. We've all been there. In life I dated people was very happy and didn't hide it, we broke up. Life happens, things don't always work out as planned and I think everyone understands that. Neither you or Arlene did anything wrong sharing that you dated.

Maybe I'd have it known some way or another if it came to topic, but not to the point I'd make a forum and 'blog' about it.

I'm not much of dating material anyway, let alone to have one online.

The moment a person reads your (33) he knows your Soul.

I hope you be blessed with the things your heart longs.

I absolutely would share, but only when it seems like the time is right. Immediately, or after a time. I wouldn't force it out.

Whether a relationship is online on "in real life", the brain cannot tell the difference. The emotions are the same, the chemicals released in the brain are the same; however, the only viable difference is the amount of chemicals released and the release rate.
See, to a point, perception is reality. That's why some people can decide they're in a relationship with you and feel connected. By their choice their brain has formed that bond with you, even though you haven't formed that bond with them. It's how people develop crushes on people, etc. All that to say, two people can have an online, long distance relationship and it's completely legit. Now, when they meet in person, that's when things will change one way or the other. It's not that the feelings they had for their online crush weren't real, it's that we have an INCREDIBLE amount of control over our emotions, and we decide where they go. If people live up to expectations, chances are the emotions will maintain or increase for the person we have feelings for. If the person doesn't live up to expectations, chances are the emotions will deflate and disappointment will take over.

I would only share if she was happy with it. After all, that's why they call it a relationship, takes two to tango...
And of course if she was an alien from another planet I would certainly keep it secret.

I would announce it! And then hell would freeze over, and all the stars would fall from the sky, and democrats and republicans will agree with one another, and..

If I was wanting a relationship in the first place. in which Im happy to be single for ever. Genuinely I am. But If there was a time I met someone on CC, have a relationship. I would not announce it straight away. I would wait until I know that we are in a stable and long term relationship before I would announce. Relationships come and go as quick as that, even on cc. but to announce you are in a relationship, maybe a bit too soon. Otherwise you will end up on Jeremy Kyle show. LOL

Pigs are like helicopters. They can take off from any flat rooftop. :cool:
I knew I was saving this rocket propelled grenade launcher for a special occasion...

My only regret is I don't have enough ammunition. So much bacon, so little time...

I would just for the honesty and accountability factors; however, I don't so it's a non-issue.

No because there's no guarantee on anything online, specially relationships.

*clobbers DF over the head with a cat skull*

No wonder I can't get a date around here. Too many squealers...

And like I said, DF, you didn't complain about that casserole I served you... Or the pie for dessert.

Of course, you didn't ask what was in them, either. (I got that cat, I mean, cat skull, from a science room, by the way... And surely not my neighbor's yard.)

Life is short, Melita.

You just gotta live a little, girl! :) How about take-out... from a place that's known to have an impeccably clear back alley... no strays of any kind, but I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

(In high school I worked at a place that sold fried chicken... A customer was complaining that the pieces were too small and when she was out of earshot, I told my co-worker, "What? She doesn't like those pigeons from the parking lot that we toss into the fryer?" )

Natural pest control AND customer service.

I didn't answer the poll, because I have been married so long, I can't remember what courting is like.

I do know that if I was just getting into a relationship with my husband, I would shout it from the roof tops. I also know now, it would make him extremely uncomfortable, because he is shy and a very private person.

So knowing what I know about him, I would not announce it till we were married.

If we got divorced, I would go to the Family Forum and blame him for everything! NOT! It just seems like so many posts are like that in there.

Sorry to hear about Tintin and Arlene. I know it happened a while back, but Tintin has been a good friend, and I'm sorry it didn't work out, but I know God is in control, and good will come out of it, in ways we cannot imagine. (Romans 8:28)

I sure miss a lot by not coming to this forum more often. LOL
