What can I say. . . . . . . . , nothing wrong with expressing urself, cool

It essentially depends on how well u are able to express urself. . . . .

and I guess u learn how to control ur feelings as time goes on. . . . . .

Somethimes it happens, but be careful. Try to control your feelings. If the other person dosent feel as strong as you do yet dont push him/her. It gets scary when you start making everything so intense at an early stage.

@ Hollandis mind yourself oh.

I'm sure he appreciates but I think you have better things to do. How about calling your girl, I think she has a date with one guy this evening wink

Hi Tommy2k2,

i can confirm what you feel is normal.  however in this world of ours you cannot afford to throw your 'feeling' all around.  why,  the world is evil.  'the heart of men is evil above everything'.   your feelings will be misread, misinterpreted, not reciprocated.  you might even be hurt.  now you do not want that.  What then do you do.  Try to study books, articles written by relationship experts.  we go to school to read and write.  so we read about topics and issues of life.  relationship especially.

i was once like you.  everyone took me for granted.  i just loved the more until,
i met (through) reading this relationship expert Michael Lee.  I took his course.  I read his books.  now i am loved by all.  i even have one of the hottest guys in town!  Believe me,  How, click on http://pinurl.com/d85

Because you do not care about rejection. But the fear of rejection is the begining of cowardice grin
You are afraid he might not be feeling the same or he might take advantage of you because you started it. That is accepting the position carved for you by society and men grin grin
Re: How Do You Control Your Emotions? by spikedcylinder: 1:13pm On Sep 05, 2008
If the feelings are very mutual, there would be no need to control.

Don't try and control it, just give the relationship your all, so you have no regrets, however, if you mean, declaring your undying love for someone after the first meeting, I believe try your best to use logic, let your love show through actions, you don't need to say you're madly in love with someone, you can always show it.

If you try and hold back your emotions, yes you'll think more rationally, but at the same times, there are more regretas through rational decisions than irrational decisions.

You may cringe that you were professing your love for someone who took you for a ride, but you may feel absolutely terrible if you knew you broke up with your girlfriend because friends were telling you that you needed to focus on your career first.

The way I have controlled my feelings in the past were to not focus or think of the person all the time at the beginning. to fill my time with my friends and family and other people. To be careful not to spend too much time with that person.

Start things slow and get to know them. Conversations over the phone limit them to just a couple per day. Dates to 2-3 x's a week after the first 4 weeks. wks 1-4 dates once a week.

By not making my life surround theirs I can slow it down and evaluate it better.

Re: How Do You Control Your Emotions? by sistawoman: 3:17pm On Sep 05, 2008
before marriage when i was dating i had a rule:

You could not meet my kids until we have been dating 6 months. Do this forced the r/s to slow down. I think if people took things slower they would find that after the infactuation, surface stuff that you are presented with wears off you will really know how you feel about the person. Most men never made it pass 1st base or 6 weeks.

Thus the need to limit contact. Once you start that I must talk to you, see you everyday thing you feel obligated and start to force the feelings. Just slow it down and protect both parties.

what i ment was before my current marriage.

I met and dated my first husband while in middle school. We met when i was 14 and married at 17. I knew nothing about love and infactuation back then. After that marriage and 3 children i grew a little bit wiser about my choices, plus I did not want my children to see me with this one and that one and waiting 6 months was a good cut off point. Like I said most never made it past 6wks.
