Where do you draw the line between getting to know someone before you meet, without letting feelings and emotions come into the picture?
I tend to put up walls and compartmentalise it by thinking "it's just a shag". But when it gets to the stage of really enjoying chatting every day and getting to know each other, how do you draw the line?
Beginning to think I'm not cut out for swinging anymore. I've been called cold over the wall I put up and asked to let them down but the thought of developing feelings for them terrifies me and the (high) risk of ending up hurt absolutely petrifies me. But I don't want to not be in contact with them and as a result it appears I'm sending very mixed messages.
Can anyone shake some sense into me please?   |

And I probably have fucked up potentially great relationships because of it.
I'm just afraid of feelings not being reciprocated and getting hurt.
I know getting hurt is part of life but I do my very best to avoid it at all costs. |

I have no intention of getting close to anyone on here. I can have a laugh and a shag without developing feelings, and I don't think that makes me cold.
Anyone who expects you to open up is obviously looking for more than a shag. |

and yeah that is the problem. you can change the way you think though, go with the flow of your feelings and see how that works out for you. you will learn more about yourself and those you interact with by being open to love and giving it rather than expecting it back. i feel i can do this in a way where it won't leave me feeling used and won't leave me feeling disappointed, if it does this account will be gone.
i'm ok with loving people and they don't love me back. i'm obviously gonna invest more of myself (time and emotions/giving a shit) into guys who do reciprocate. even if we are not in a relationship. the fact that they appreciate me and care about me is enough. actions speak louder than words here, remember that.
i've changed my way of thinking after being in an abusive relationship more than once. it's mainly down to trust issues and the fact that i don't wanna be exclusive to anyone because this doesn't suit who i am any more. and that i've been in only one relationship where i felt the guy genuinely, and more importantly -unconditionally, loved me. yes i have a few trusted friends that i love also (not sexually) and they love and care about me also.
so if people don't love me back i'm ok with that, i get how hard it can be to love people as i hardly love anyone myself. i'm friendly and amicable to pretty much anyone, but give a shit/love them? no.
giving love is the only way you'll find people who appreciate that and return it. out the ones who don't and fuck them off.
all advice might be shit, ignore me if you like. but this works for me and i applied to family and friends all my life, now i'm doing it for other people coming into my life. wish i'd done it earlier as i have messed up a couple of potentially great things and feel the guy did too, just by holding back. |

When we look back on our lives it'll be the memorable bits, the highs and the lows, that we'll cherish. Everything else in between is polyfilla. So throw yourself into life, fall in love, get heartbroken, and above all... minimise boring ordinariness as much as possible or you'll end up regretting all the time you wasted on it that you could've spent filling your life with more memorable experiences  |

Then you have two choices.
Act on your emotions or not. |

When I wake up I find you're here
I should feel joy
But I am not even near
I don't know where you've been tonight
I guess you've been with someone else
But I don't care if I'm right
I do not feel no jealousy
If I would lose you now
I'd simply say it's destiny, destiny, destiny...
I find you're here
You're moving on
You're just doing what you want
And I can't find it wrong
I know for sure you would be gone
You wouldn't stay with me
If something better comes along
I do not feel anxiety
I wouldn't be alone for long
It's destiny, destiny, destiny, destiny...
When I wake up I find you're here
I should feel joy
But I am not even near
I don't know where you've been tonight
If I would lose you now
I'd simply say it's destiny
I can not blame you for a thing
If I would have the chance
I'd do the same to you
Destiny, destiny, destiny...
When I wake up I find you're here
I should feel joy
But I am not even near
I don't know where you've been tonight
I guess you've been with someone else
But I don't care if I'm right
I do not feel no jealousy
If I would lose you now
I'd simply say it's destiny, destiny, destiny...
I find you're here
You're moving on
You're just doing what you want
And I can't find it wrong
I do not feel anxiety
I would not be alone for long it's destiny...
When I wake up I find you're gone
There should be grief but I feel none
Trying to leave the night behind
I hardly get my thoughts in line
But there is one thing I could say
It seems I'm glad... I find you're gone
I find you're gone
I find you're gone
You know it's wrong, you know the way
But do you really want to stay?
A sudden thought, a thing to mind
It would be only wasting time
No matter how hard you will try
It's just a feeling passing by
I won't say that it's true
That I'm here to stick with you
You know, for me it's just a game
And that you're not the one to blame |

We met on a sex site and now we are married. But we also still want this to be part of our lives, so whether or not you'd carry on with this lifestyle after falling in love would be up to you and your partner. And I know we arnt the only ones that met like this.
Real love so rarely comes along in life that it needs to be held onto with both hands and cherished and encouraged to grow. |
