Turmoil: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Who can you count on?
“I never wanted to hurt you… I only wanted the best for you, for your future, for your life.
If any advice I have offered to you so far has not worked out, or been in error, I am deeply sorry.
This has always been your life to live, not for me to live it for you.”
Have you been given this speech by a parent when you were in your youth? Love is the hardest thing to understand and offer when you don’t understand; or when your understanding is not on level with the issue at hand.
We all have it tough, life offers no easy choices, no easy paths to take; and even worse there are no guarentees that anyone you know will grasp the turmoil in your life and be able to offer you relevant advice to get you through these tumultuous times you find yourself in.
This is when it’s hard to believe that love is enough.
Love, when mixed with understanding, offers the opportunity for us to be a safe haven for our friends in distress. And if this can be reciprocated when we find ourselves in distress then you truly have a friend.
I have written all of this because it’s important to rediscover our boundaries and see if they can stretch with the new obstacles of life that confront us.
It isn’t always ourselves that find us being caught up in turmoil but we can be enveloped within it nonetheless. That’s what family and friendship really means.
I offer you this testament as a friend, one you may never meet in person but can communicate with through the advice offered here, and the more than 1,700 other posts in this simple blog.
Communication is our only hope of a fair future, for ourselves and those that we care about. And with all of this in our minds I offer this thoughtful headline for your profile headline today:
“Could you count on me in a moment of distress? Are you willing to find out?”
Have a great day!
Opportunities and Obstacles: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Out the door, into real life.
I am buried under snow. Much less than the east saw last week, but still enough to reach my knees in places and require an hour or two of shoveling my rather short and thin driveway. Dammit.
Life does offer it’s challenges. I guess I’m lucky that shoveling is mine, for the time being. After all it is Monday and I’m sure something more will happen, like another dump of snow while I’m at work (thanks weatherman!).
Despite it all I can admit to not being second many times in my life, right Steelers fans?
Sorry, it’s not really in my nature to show my sarcastic side to people not in front of my face, or behind me.
As I was saying, the weather hasn’t been all that kind to any of us lately, and I do mean the world population. It’s hard to pick any time zone (and geographic area) that hasn’t had a flood, fire or blizzard to bring chaos and harm upon it within recent memory.
And yet using “How about this weather?” still ranks as a top ten worst pickup line. (I think the rankings need to be updated.)
Life brings to us opportunities and some of these opportunities are disguised as obstacles. It’s your decision what will stand in your way and what you will get through.
For today’s dating profile headline I offer you this suggestion:
“I have never raced towards second place.”
Have a great day!
Stages of Dating: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Monday
Dating always involves chasing and being chased. One person tries to get the attention of the other and that is the first stage of dating, the introductions.
Then there’s the phone and message tag. Calling at the right time to be able to leave a message instead of talking directly. After all, a message won’t reject you and you don’t have to make small talk with voice mail.
Then there’s the date planning, what to do, where and when. Conflicting schedules and previous engagements allow for all kinds of missed opportunities without the pain of saying no.
Once all of this is straightened out there is the inevitable choice of wardrobe and transportation options.
Every happening is an obstacle to either be surmounted or obliterated by.
And then it happens, we outgrow the games and the fears of incompatibility. We adjust and make concessions for happiness. It all starts with attraction and getting the attention of that one special person. To that end I offer you today’s dating profile headline of the day:
“I don’t like to play catch and release!”
Have a great day!
