Hello all,
My sweet nephew ( actually cousin's son) is on this list also.
He is : www.mylot.com/wiiguy.
He is a sweet caring guy that is looking for a sweet-heart and a lasting
relationship.
And another guy is saifweb that seems to have the same problem.
I see it everywhere.
Don't young people want lasting relationships anymore.The few that are looking
can't seem to find anyone and there seems to be alot of people, females included
that don't want to comit to a single person.
What's happening here? Somebody tell me cause I'm way out of the loop.
Is there anyone out there that can enlighten me?
Are you a female that plays the field and doesn't want to commit?
Are you a male that doesn't want to commit?
Why?
Please be honest you won't offend anyone here!
Thanks
Raydene

maybe you just overlooked the people around you..maybe it's not really the time for them to make commitments or whatsoever..we dont have to misjudge them the way their relationships with other people want them to be..everything has its own time, we just have to wait. you don't have to look for happiness..happiness is within you not with other people..never depend your happiness to somebody else because it's a sign of weakness... it will just show you that you cannot live without them and will onlt have a good life just because of them...come to think of it...what if they won't be there for you anymore? does it mean that we can stand for our own anymore...will we make our lives worst than ever just because our happiness is out of nowhere again? lasting relationship that you want will soon be there but waiting is the main key to have it..

Well, I'm on the old end of things, but a good part of the reason I never got into a relationship was because most of the guys I was meeting were saying "well, if it doesn't work out we can always get a divorce." Well, guess what, I've never become part of the divorce statistics because I never joined the ranks of the married because I felt the guys weren't willing to commit to the relationship the willingness to work hard on it.

I think that we simply HEAR young people talking about relationship issues more than used to be acceptable.
The concern about finding someone to love who loves you back is the prime concern of most people under the age of 35. It is what nature intended. The problem arises when you start adding idealism into the mix. Being taught that is is natural and expected that one will spend the rest of their lives with one person, creates stresses on relationships that tends to keep them short term. The more idealistic your are, the less likely you will find a relationship and love. The more demands you make on that relationship, the less likely you will be able to SEE the love that is there, and accept it completely. The worries about HAVING to remain with someone the rest of your life makes it difficult to settle for what you have right in front of you.

You have a good way of looking at it .
Do you really think people today worry about having to stay with someone forever?
I mean everybody has to know what the divorce rate is!
What commit meant in my day(born 1950) and what it means today i suspect is some
what different?
Thanks nfor your honest reply
