RomanceClass.com Forums Romance Breaking Up Long story, short?

I didn’t say that love/feeling can be calculated or measured. What I meant was that if someone truly cares for you, you should be able to feel/tell through their actions – regardless of cultural difference. It just doesn’t make sense to me much if someone said they really cared for me...and I just cannot tell it.

And it is different for different people.

Like a lot of teenagers, I had crushes on different boys, but ~ silly as it sounds ~ I always felt that the Nat King Cole song was right for me ~ 'When I fall in love, it will be for ever'.

I had one boyfriend. I felt entirely loved. I knew that we would marry and stay together. That was over 34 years ago. I don't live a fairy tale, and I didn't have to kiss any frogs, or be pressured into doing anything I wasn't ready for. We are still happily married.

Maybe I was just lucky, or maybe we make our own luck, by being true to ourselves and finding the right soul mate for us.

Winniee, the calculation sentence is just one confusion in my mind for a long time. I did not derive it from your post:)

The other day, I was chating with a campus shuttle drive. Believe it or not, he is more than 70. We asked him the reason for being healthy. He said, being truthful.

If we could be truthful to ourselves then to others around us, what a beautiful world it is! Thank you all for your responses. I realized something I never paid attention to.

oh sorry then

yes, that's a wonderful answer you got from the shuttle driver

anyways, hope you'll soon find your prince charming okie!
