***** Buddies vs True Love |
is there any difference between them? i tend to think flings can be more
meaningful than long term relationships. there is less lying and mistrust.

Long term relationships may be harder and more hurtful but at least they
leave you with something to think about when they're over.

Michael,
I doubt if "flings" and "true love" have much in common, but it is
necessary to decide if you can have either and which one do you want to
have now.
I've been thinking about , and dealing with this for awhile. Since my
wife died eight years ago, leaving me an old single guy, I have never
met anyone who I thought I wanted to spend much time with and certainly
not in a relationship. I found myself using the the Internet dating
sites often and doing the same thing over and over. I would locate
someone on a dating site who was possibly interesting, ask her out,
find out she was unappealing, and never call her again.
I've gone through five years in a job with many women around and then
no job with no women. My depression has continued and so has my
non-social life, but I still chase women in about the same ineffective
way, whether for a one-night-stand or meaningful, LTR.
I was advised by a hugely active professional sex coach to get several
girl friends and not to get "addicted" to escorts. If it was that
simple, that is probably what I would do since sex is the major
interest I now have with women, other than just going out for dinner or
the movies or something.
You know, I have no idea after all these years of what to do now. Maybe
some of us never get answers to all our life questions......

flings are a good way to get disease
Personally, sex doesnt mean much to me. I am much more interested in
someone who I can talk with, and share quality time with. And thats
what I have, and am happy that way.

you really want me to comment on this right now?
lots and lots to say to this post, but will refrain, maybe email.
damn I have definite opinions on this at this point in my life.
flings are better, less emotional damage involved, been hurt much less
by flings, than by what I thought were relationships. That's my short
answer.
Yes, big difference between them, HUGE!
