A great explanation via Ann Landers, without a full blown history lesson: Socialism: You have two cows. Give one to your neighbor. Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some of the milk. Fascism: You have two cows. You give all the milk to the government, and the government sells it. Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you, and takes both cows. Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both of the cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow. Capitalism:
I’m referring to that strong chemistry that you feel when you meet someone for the first time: Soul Mate level. Not “oh, he’s/she’s cute, handsome, or wanna take his pants off” feeling. The powerful connection that when you look at him/her you see right through the baby-blues (or browns) deep into the soul connection, and it’s reciprocal! The feeling doesn’t leave for months. I’ve had it twice, but both never grew due to circumstances. Your story?
So, you keep bumping into her….go ahead…ask for her number!?! Yaaass This could be the beginning of a really great thing, and I’m not talking about the two of you. She didn’t respond to your text but she was definitely honored by your moves. FREEING! You got this buddy, and just raised your confidence up a notch, not to mention no more time-wasting wondering if she likes you. (I am officially designating “time-wasting” a residual dating thing) The first time is always the hardest. Now you’re ready for the next.
Walk the dog though the park or scroll on-line , and you may meet someone that catches your eye….ZING! It’s certainly possible to meet a few times while keeping your distance, just to see if there’s chemistry between you two. This is really all you should be doing during your first meet-up. Within 1-2 meet-ups you should discuss distancing and know…. And if there’s a connection then go ahead and begin connecting. Humans are made for intimacy and partnerships. You got this!!
“Abuse comes in many forms, not all of which are physical. When someone repeatedly uses words to demean, frighten, or control someone, it’s considered verbal abuse. The trouble is, when you’re involved in a verbally abusive relationship, it can wear you down and seem normal to you.” www.healthline.com Ten signs of verbal abuse: www.joinonelove.org Know that it’s not your fault, but it’s your responsibility to seek help for yourself.
This has always been a manta in my life: Action = Reaction Do the right thing, and you’ll most likely get a good result. A negative action, and you’ll probably get repercussions in one direction or another. My kids can attest to this. And Zella dog? She knows via training, that there will be a leash if she doesn’t walk with me. Got kids? Your relationship? It’s up to you….the truth always comes out later or sooner 😉
I love a good talk show while driving, and I’ll share a few fav’s sometime. I was surprised to understand that there are seven, YES 7!!!, types of orgasms for women. 🙂 WooHoo we hit the jackpot. Ever notice how some O’s are more intense than others? Well, here’s the menu: Clitorial, Nipple, G-Spot, The Anal, Urethral, A-Spot, and Vaginal. Guys, just because your gal didn’t react, #screamwithdelight, doesn’t mean she isn’t pleasured and satisfied.
New date coming up gals? A great way to feel comfortable is to dress comfortable and wear what you like. Stiletto’s? Hell yeah if you can walk the walk, but don’t wear them on a first date if you’ll be hunched over with sore feet in the first hour. Be yourself, dress like yourself, and enjoy yourself. You’ll be perfectly perfect. And if the spark isn’t there, that’s okay….there’s nothing you can do to create true chemistry. On to the next date….for both of you.
Years ago, when my babies were babies, I’d pull them in the red wagon, turn around and say, “someday you’ll be pulling me in the wagon.” <3 They were baffled because “mommy, you’re too big!” Fast forward almost 30 years later, my Millennials are smarter and faster with the same core values. And now, I can count on them for tech, travel, fitness, and financial advice. Pay now, or pay later.
Stumbled across this quaint ivy covered old house with a vivid blue sky, and what you can’t see is an alley below full of garbage cans and cinder filled brick pavers with overgrown grass and weeds. Looking down was not so beautiful, but gazing up was extraordinary. Look down or gaze up!?!
