No, i don't know what i want.but i wudnt worry about it. i think that when we meet someone right, we wud know. nobody goes out there with a list of qualities they r looking for. it doesnt matter unless u r planning on registering on an online dating site and need to spell out what you want. i have tried it. it doesnt work. there is always something u wud forget. always something u wished u had thought of. always something tht u cud never have dreamed u wud like until u meet a real live person and fall in love with them. i have left the whole thing in the hands of fate kind of. i have accepted that i have no clue what i am looking for, let alone what would be good for me. i have left it to the universe to either give me pointers, or lead me to the right person  i did get some clues....so i know what i *cud* like. and know quite emphatically what i don't like. but that's about it. i suppose i wont really know until i do find *him*. *edit* I have this same problem, just dont find guys whom i'd find interesting. i have plenty of friends. but very rarely do i find myself getting turned on by a guy  I was talking about this to a friend. and this is what she said: 'that person has to be really unique, otherwise why wud he be 'the only one' for you'. i mean if every 10th person u meet fits the bill, then what wud make u want to commit to no.30 as opposed to no.60 ?  So fewer the people who make u feel that way, greater the bliss when u DO meet that special someone  IP: Logged |

Swerve,You strike me as an unusual being. Honest, perceptive, self-evaluating. You also have a tremendous heart from what I've seen of you. Some are not ready for this type of connection. And I bet you push people away from you quite soon. I wouldn't look at this as fussy, but ultra intuitive (and smart). However, you will meet a person, a woman, who feels like a friend, but is really your ultimate lover. Let the inner animal guide you. -Touch her- see how she feels. then go with that feeling.

Hi swerve! In time I think you will find out truly what your heart really wants/needs. You said yourself that it is a time of learning about yourself and that's always a good thing. I am in the same position as you are...a time of healing/transformation and I am very thankful. I love being "alone" because now I can see what has been of my life, observe what has happened in so far. If it doesnt feel right/or you dont think you're ready for a relationship, then no need to have to feel like you are obliged to. It will hit you at the moment that you least suspect it...hehe, the mystery of love, isnt it great? You'll find her or rather you will both find each other and whan that happens, I really hope it will be with a woman that deserves you. PS - I believe we've exchanged words before in this topic forum too and you said some very enlightening things to me which I really appreciate it, when I was going through some very tough times. It helps me a lot to look over it when I feel like I am going back to my thinking pattern...IP: Logged |

I hadn't heard Under the Milky Way in forever, kismet.  Swerve, I wanted to add that what you wrote to me was very timely, as I've been at a cross-road concerning LindaLand for some time. What happened prior Christmas has left its mark. Although I remain at impasse, unsure, I appreciate so much what you took a moment to give to me. Regardless of where I do go, I'll remember your kindness.  (sorry if I've strayed off topic, but I felt it important to thank you more properly.) IP: Logged |

Sorry guys,Just got back from a holiday in Prague for my birthday so not been around. Seven - glad I could help you before. Thanks for your words. Lia - don't you dare go anywhere, permanently anyway. Maybe an LL break is in order? I usually have them every couple of months myself. It's easy to forget that the content of what we post and the subjects we flirt with mean there is a probably a huge amount of energy passing between people on this site. Something to bear in mind when the heart begins to feel that much heavier.... Of course you've had more than usual to face as well recently, so I understand. you present mood. Swerve

I haven't read the posts to this topic but I wanted to throw this out there, I can't remember where I read it but it pops up in my head a lot..."If you don't know what you want, how do you know when you've found it?" IP: Logged |

Hi Swerve,I sensed frm ur post that more than nething else, u need to just crystallize on ur own wot u want in someone. All of us, I belive, have some basic standards of compatiblity...Its something like u said...that u r close to very few ppl...Its the same with me...and i feel that all of the ppl who i do like and who i am close to, hv some things in common...no matter how few they are... Now ur list of these things might look different...but my list wud go something like...sense of humour, intelligence, sensitivity, maturity etc etc So i know, that wot kind of ppl i get along with...and im sure u wud know too...all u hv to do is think a il bit on that Now coming to wot u want in ur girl...that might be a lil different... Now well, she wud have to have those things which make u like ne person and make u feel like coming close to ne person...but beyond that, there is not too much u can predict...u just allow urself to learn with ppl... I was in a relationship with 2 very different kinds of guys...and it was only when the relationship was over that i realized how wrong they wr for me...so there r somethings u just leanr with time... and well, u cannot really objectivise these things u know...there r a lot of things that might annoy me in a person normally...but in my guy they only make me more fond of him! SO I guess u dont really need to kinda prepare a list or a profile for THE girl u know...u just let it happen  And when the mix is right...u'll know its right...u may not b able to explain why its right but u'll just know... I dunno how far i have answered ur question...but this is wot came to my mind and i thought i wud share it with u  IP: Logged |
