Thank you Galadria. I am usually very shy and is a relationship like on tv? Since a blonde broke my heart once, I have got this stunted view.

tiamat,you will find that tv and real life have very little in common.

Tiamat, one thing you gotta learn about a serious relationship is that your partner ALWAYS comes first. Looking after your own needs first has a word in the dictionary...selfish ;) Dont worry put all the hard work in and it pays off :D

you sound like an abusive husband then... lol... women need to be obeyed otherwise the marriage is failed. Remember, they are superior to us... obey the machine...

[img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] I am stunned... this from the evil Overlord?!?!? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Ok... this is how it goes in RL.... You give of yourself and your partner should do the same...if not... the relationship won't work. Jewlery is not important to most women (unless it is that all-important engagement ring ;) ) Wildflowers are fine if not more meaningful. One needs to eat and have a roof over one's head, after all. You will figure it out. :D

I am like a virus to the machine.... and Im practically unstoppable!
I am nothing but an Infestation..... mwhahahahaa!

An infestation, eh? Sounds like we need a doctor to cure it.... Or a flamethrow to burn it away. Your partner always comes first in a relationship.

And Charean, perhaps we can use this in our next "Pick on the Overlord" session? [img]graemlins/evilhaha.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/evilhaha.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/evilhaha.gif[/img] "Look at the cute widdle overlord, he's gone all soft [img]tongue.gif[/img] "

It often pays off to put others before yourself, you can't get anything without giving. You reap what you sow.

heh! well, with Tiamt's attitude it doesn't look like he'll HAVE a relationship that'll last - I hope it was a jokey post ;)

if you keep your partner happy, they will want to keep YOU happy.
;)

TV is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy different than RL... because it simply isn't that easy.. in fact... here, you cannot really get lucky... at least that lucky... I wish sometimes it would be as easy in RL.. like in the movies... but then it is hard... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am now confused... I want to have this feeling of falling out of love for someone... and now I don't know if your approach is better or me being still a romantic idiot? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Tiamat, you may just not realize that in a relationsip that's solid, two people care for each other, support each other and DO put the other first on many levels.

It's not about buying her all sorts of presents and of course you wouldn't starve yourself.. what good is a partner who's debiltated and in poverty? She'd not want that at all! If she did, she's not a good partner!

I think you'll learn in time that sharing and being supportive of one another can be the most rewarding part of your relationship and it makes life so much sweeter to have someone to share things with!
