(after many convincing points that definitely win this round):
If you are really trying to "get something on the watchtower" then get something real and dont waste your time whining about every little thing that they do, especially those things that are not bad. We can disagree with them on things that are truly disagreeable and not act like children in regards to every tiny nuance.Amen.
oh and i can definitely vouch that Size has little or nothing to do wit it.
Amen!

i haven't seen "if these walls could talk"
but have heard rave reviews.

ok, here is my situation.
i have been talking with someone on the phone and i am very interested in this person.
i have only been talking to them about 4 or 5 days, and when i was talking to them last night or about 3 hours and at one point, just talking to them gave me that sensation, like you get after you kiss someone for the first time.
wonderwoman77 - seriously, i've spent many an hour on the phone with many a guy and/or gal. my first question here would be have you met this person? maybe that shouldn't matter. i agree you can make a connection even without having met first, but...i dunno...i just find it harder to trust word and voice without having body language to analyze and absorb as well. that said, hours upon hours of emailing and/or phone chat can be quite revealing about a person.
even sexually speaking, you can get a 'feel' for a person. but, be prepared for the possibility that upon meeting, you just won't 'feel it' physically for them...or vice versa...that tingle can be fickle.
as for your question re long distance relationship?
i guess that depends on your budget for long distance phone bill and travel expenses. heehee. $$$$ also, how open are you or s/he to relocating if you reeeeally hit it off? i hope if this is somebody great for you, that distance won't stop the two of ya.
or hell, just enjoy it for as long as it lasts.

Yes, women probably are more susceptible to this syndrome.
When faced with conflict,
Men tend to "fight or flight"
Women tend to "befriend or..." something else i can't recall right now lol.
This is not ALL men/women, but generally speaking.

Hey, Great comments!
termite 35 - thanks much for your optimism it's very encouraging. hugs back atcha! luv the pic!
Introspection - wow. thx for all your thoughts here. you really seemed to understand what i wuz saying. yes, a trust from the heart. i'm sure that i'm somewhat hyper-sensitive right now on the issue. not all the time, but at times, in various relationships, especially the ones that MATTER most to me, i grapple with the fear of being "rejected" or "judged" if i express who i really am. of course being shunned by everyone i've known-and-loved for all my life takes a big bite outta my tolerance levels on this. on top of rejection and judgement i am sick to death of conflict. i guess because of that, i sometimes "censor" my remarks accordingly, (i can't outright lie to save my life, but i can and have said nothing, and controlled my body language so "they" don't know what i'm really thinking/feeling) i am super-alert to any double-meanings and particularly contradictions in what people say and do. and yes, integrity is necessary. i will keep waging war against this "fear" tho' and be brave enuf to be whoever the hell i am and to keep my motives pure. what you said about no condemnation is true too. i know i need more practise @ trusting myself and with allowing myself to be who i am before i can expect others to be trustworthy too. after all this rambling it seems i'm mainly trying to trust my own ability to continually survive peoples judgements (can't get around that, people are the most judgemental creatures i've ever met). and i'm trying to find the ones trustworthy enough to not to try and force this square peg into their round hole. i'll start small. thx again for contributing your thoughts.
radar - thx for your comment about my writing. sorry u r having twust twubbles two. hang in der. don't play der games. hell, make up yer own rules. just don't lose heart!
SYN - good call! i have a cat. she's the greatest. maybe i'll try a dog too. i hear they are unconditional in their affection!
