I have heard from a friend of mine who has a MA in Psychology that men and women perceive things differently. Women tend to take in a lot more and have a more expansive image of things. Ie: when meeting a person we will notice their hair, their outfit and the location in which we met them all in...

I tend to hold onto to crushes for a long time. It is rare that I meet someone that interests me / stands out, so when I do meet someone like that, I hold on. 99% of the time they don't reciprocate though, so I am left with the option of letting go, or holding on. I know intellectually what I...

I can agree with this statement aswell. The key here is that sexual temptation is at it's peak when... I still have temptations even when I don't have a particular person (I am a sexual being, afterall) but when I do, my desire to give of myself to them and comfort them definitely gets stronger...

Turning off all sexual desires might not be the approach you want. All human desires,m even eros, are desires that are meant to point us toward God. Sexual temptations (not desire in and of itself) usually stem from loneliness, anxiety, stress and a longing for something outside of ourselves...

Thanks all!! I definitely feel encouraged! :hug:

GeorgiaGuy: Awe, it was a whole combination of things. As mentioned in my OP, my first "relationship" just finished and I've been having a hard time with that. I waited so long for my first to come along, and when it did it barely qualified as a relationship because it was so short. It's also...

Hey all, So I'm now 30. I was dreading this birthday for a long time. Truth be told, I'm so far behind in life... I've been an undergraduate student for 7 years, and because school is where I spend most of my time, most of my friends are 22 years of age, or around that. I'm not married and...

Hey all, So I finally had my first relationship! He and I were close friends with for 6 months, and we finally decided to take things to the next level. It was great for the first 2.5 weeks... then we had our first fight and broke-up 4 days later. We had to break-up via text though because...

I can only go by signs that he's not interested (because that's all I;ve ever gotten), but this pretty much sums it up for me. Of the guys that haven't been interested in me, but that I tried to pursue, none of them sough me out for any social time, and when I asked them, they'd have some excuse...

Wow, just gotta say I'm a bit impressed with some of the thoughtful answers in this thread! I've asked this question of some of my friends before, both male and female, and none of them have much to say. As I mentioned in Mac's thread, at first it was "you have to do this or that," to which I'd...

Oh I can so relate to this!!! I've been mulling over this sort of line of thinking all day when I noticed last night that a guy at church that I'm interested in, seemed to really be liking a friend of mine. I'm going to be 30 in 3 months... and not once have I been the attractive one eho had...

I found this article on IVF interesting: from Christopher West Technology and Human Conception Technology and Human Conception When Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets earlier this year, the Internet was abuzz with debates about the reproductive technology industry. But the...

I agree with both Portal and Toro. As a woman, I won't be meeting a man who has had an abortion, but I can meet one who lost fatherhood to one. If he pressured the girl, yes it would worry me. It shows a lack of respect and love for her as well as an insecure sense of manhood and...

I'd disagree with this, but that's just me as an ugly woman, so, take what I say with a grain of salt :D

I agree with golden nugget. Just try to love yourself right now. I'm certaintly there with you though! All I've ever wanted for as long as I can remember is to be married, but here I am, 5 month sshy of my 30th birthday and not only am I not married, I've never even had a boyfriend, meanwhile it...

yes, quite often actually. But I've found that I haven't been nearly as bored this school semester (since Jan) as I have been for years. I think the difference is that I'm starting to reinvest in things I enjoy- blogging, cooking, blogging about cooking, arts and crafts, reading what I want to...

Oh I have asked this so many times! I'll be 30 in 5 months... I always imagined myself married young and all that. In fact I was the only one among my high school friends that wanted to be married young, and now here I am, the only single. Sometimes it really gets me down and I question and get...

my thoughts exactly :D

Oh great post! I've actually been wanting to see if I can hook him up with more male friends- especially ones of faith, perhaps subconsciously this is why. Honestly, yes, at one point I wished for this. But that was a year ago a now, I dunno, I guess I just want to see him happy, regardless...

Hey guys, Just wondering if I might get some feedback. A guy friend of mine was hurt in his past and has given up on dating because of it. Part of me figures that when / if he meets a girl to makes it seem worth it, he'll go for it, but another part of me wonders if he'll ever be over it...
