Author	Topic: Advice for those who are afraid to commit
Angelina	Posted on 10/28/2006 14:12 Say you have feelings for someone, but you are afraid to commit. You would rather not be tied down and be able to date other people. SO what happens when the other loves you, and you have told them the same countless amount of times. I just wanted to put some advice down for those of you who are like this. If you say you love someone, they are going to think they are the only one. THis usually is the way it should be, but besides that, if you really do not want to be with only them, do not drag them along for the ride. Their emotions are being played with, and if you care at all you should let them go. NEVER stay with someone just 'not to hurt their feelings' that is the worst thing you can do. what is important is what is produced is what you need from the relationship love? are you getting what you need how do you know if you're getting the love you need because of feelings but most importantly because of actions that portray those feelings words are cheap hear the promises, the said commitments, the nice sugar things that are whispered and that you want to believe but watch the outcome, the effect, the result if the two don't match you are being irresponsible TO YOURSELF to not take action explain how your needs are not being met and what you think needs to be done to meet them can your partner do it? really? if not, you need someone else as painful as it is, it's less painful now than it will be later if you keep wearing yourself trying to produce something that cannot be produced with the ingredients you have solve and unsolvable problem? that's what you're trying to do if you keep trying to do if you keep trying to get something different from the same set of factors - those factors are you, your partner and your relationship the BIGGEST mistake (especially women - sorry women!) You are thinking you can change your man or hoping something better will develop in the relationshp. Stop wasting time! Men dont' change. Most men have made up their mind about you the first time they met you. have some RESPECT for yourSELF. if you recognise the signs, move on. life's too short to try to change someone to fit your relationship equation you can't change people you can only change yourself to affect your relationship people will only change how they want to. Ok...guys! Let's hear your side! What do you tell someone when you're still want to meet other people on this site?
Nameless	Posted on 10/30/2006 20:18       IF you really want to date other people at the same time then you NEED to communicate with him/her from the start. This way it's clear what your intention are and the other person can decide what he/she want to do. If you wait further down the road then it will be really hard. I do not understand why women ALWAYS want to changed their man to someone they are not. Don't you know it's hard to change a person habits. I'm not saying men are not like that but i see this happens more so from women. If you love the man why can't you except him for who he IS and NOT try to changed him to someone that he is not. If there are things that you just can't overcome or live with it then find another guy. IF there are habits that you don't like but love him then talk to him about it. Maybe he will work on it. Just my $.02.

Angelina	Posted on 11/1/2006 19:46       That's how things should be. I respect your honest opinion. I wish most guys would be more upfront about how they really feel about the person they are dating. If you don't love someone, just say so! Most guys like to hang around for the benefit until they find someone suitable. Don't you women hate this game of munipulation?
