New thread for flirting, opposite sex relationship stuff

Well, I don't mind Boat. Your questions, ideas etc help me think things through too. And your opinions are refreshing and interesting. I've heard my own so long I forget to question them, sometimes... and they're boringly wrong a lot, too. I just can't see that until I get it "out" somewhere... and sometimes, someone will come along and point the obvious thing I've been ignoring or blind to...
I mean, this is a big life "issue" for a lot of us... because of what we've been through. And there are lots & lots & lots of different issues within the one topic... only lots of different people can bring those up.
Meh:
Well I think I'm going through a mini crash course on my "romantic" gunk. Today I'm finding out that trust is a big issue. It is for a lot of people I guess. I mean it's sort of a no-brainer but now I am feeling how trust is a big deal not just thinking it. I'm glad I'm going through whatever this is--intense churning of beliefs/feelings/habits/--because I feel that I'm starting to get something.
One thing I am noticing is that people like us tend to be more self-reflective and maybe even more honest with ourselves compared with people who consider themselves to be "normal" because if you think you're normal then why ever try to improve yourself. I'm starting to find aspects of myself that I value and admire in contrast to some of the people I meet in the dating scene.
Hopalong:
Boat, you are a very dear duck (and I think now and then I type Bones, who is also a dear duck, when I mean Boat, but I have faith y'all will ignore the senility...)
I loved reading this:

Except I'd chop of the last 3 words and really concentrate on thinking about this REGARDLESS...

in contrast to
Hope that made sense,
Hops
Meh:
Yes makes perfect sense.

Hey Boat!
I just tripped over a big, giant scientific/psych "effect"... it was right in front of me, all the time. Actually, in a magazine on losing weight... but before I dive right in, gonna do some reading - research... make sure I think I understand the connections between awful parents and the effect... then I'll be back. Think it goes right here in this thread...
called the "what the hell effect" -- yes, that's it's technical name!!!!!
Thought you'd like this one...
