always looking for water.
I feel your pain Calculon. That f***in' sucks a big one.
Well it seems like we are all either too damaged from a previous relationship, too scared from seeing other's attempts, or too shy to bother to try.
Im no expert...like I said I have no experience. However with all my dealings with friends and family it seems that the difference between a long-lasting, happy relationship and a short, broken one is all based on two things.
1)Decent values. Basically dont lie, steal, cheat, etc. Also be sure to be nice to each other. Decent people make decent friends and so on.
2)Have commonality. Even if your nice to one another what's the use if you constantly have to negotiate over how to spend free time or money, because of totally different interests? I mean compromise can keep the relationship going, but compromising means both lose even if they both gain. So why not just be sure you think alike?
Also, it seems like succesful relationships are committed between people who had been friends for long periods of time before. As well as between people who obviously got along great without have the obligations of sex and such. I guess just try to make love with friendship and not with sex, money, power, etc.
