Two years later, standing by the words I said above, I now find myself engaged to the boyfriend I mentioned in my posts. We're getting married in October. It has been tough.. but our relationship is only getting better. (: I recently saw this website in my bookmarks and decided to go back and check out this post.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting anything from my ex. I didn't just understand why he told me (when he broke up with me) that he can't give or reach the expectations that I had with him. This really bothered and bothers me. I don't know if I had set standard unconsciously (or he wasn't just the one) or he was just making any excuses. At the start, he told me that we don't have to expect anything from each other and I agreed with him. Maybe I was losing myself within the relationship by that time.. Anyways, if we really are meant for each other, no matter what, we'll be together in the end. But if not, that's okay. I would prefer to start a new beginning with someone who really loves me as me. No expectations. I just hope that he (my future one) and I would learn from each other and will accept each other's flaws. Amanda: yes, I do understand what you are trying to say.

I never hold myself back from loving someone, but I remind myself, that in case of a break-up, I will be all right, and that I can survive, and I don't completely attach to my significant other because 1: guys don't like clingy girls, and 2: By having some kind of independence, I won't fall hard in case of a break-up. My quote is in most cases you should "hope for the best but expect the worse." seek the best in anything, but don't let yourself be disappointed easily. honestly, right now... I'm thinking if I ever will find the #1. No one is perfect, and I have to realize that I can't always go looking for that 'perfect guy' because I'd set myself up for a whole lot of disappointments. By going for guys who fit my "perfect" criteria, I will only be missing out on some good relationships. no one is who they seem to be at first.

You want the best for that person. Lust is the sexual part of romantic love. Romantic love comes when we have feelings for a person whom does make our heart go thump thump and we are able to commit our feelings to that person.

One thing I have learned and i think is so important not to have too many expactations. live every day as it is and compramise. compramise and being able to be flexable with the person your in a relationship with is huge. and even if you dont think anything could happen in the beguinning, give things a chance, the first two months i was with my boyfriend, i just he was just a (excuse my language) fuck buddy. back to Silver, you said you didnt know your principals or belifs, I didnt either when i got into my relationship, actually i find all the time i run into thing that I would have never even thought about.

We are almost the same age or I'm a year younger than you. When a person says "You are the one", it means that he/she already found the right person to spend the rest of their lives with. I haven't seen the movie Sex and the City but I heard about it. There are events in life that at the start you aren't sure if the person you are with now will be the same person that you will spend eternity with. In the case of Sarah Jessica Parker's character, the guy wasn't sure that she was the one or didn't realize yet. But after a year's separation, maybe the guy realized that she was really the one for him. In real life, sometimes, it is true. I'm not really sure about it though. As for your case, saying the 3 important and heavy words to your guy, I think you are just being honest. But I just hope that you won't get too deep into the feeling because we don't know what will happen in the future. You are still waiting for him so say those words. I cannot say what's on his mind. But maybe, you just have to give each other enough space on this matter. Just do your thing and he does his. Enjoy yourselves first... Do not wait for him to say it. If he really loves you, he will say it on the right time. :) Jessica,

When man say I want to find “the one” what do they mean? Have you seen the movie Sex and The City lately? One day the day the guy said, "I like you, but I don't think you are that "one" for me. A year they met again and got married! How does anyone can know that the woman is that one? ;) Silver,

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:00:06 +0000 http://blog.davidwygant.com/?p=569#comment-16595 I have to say that this article really touched me. It made me realize that even though I haven't heard those magic words from my boyfriend, that's no reason to not want to be with him. We've only been dating for 5 months, and for me, that seems like a long time, because I've only ever had one relationship last that long, even though I'm 28. So, yes, I've told my guy that I love him, and no, he hasn't said it back. But in looking at our relationship, I realize that he behaves as if he loves me, and he treats me like he loves me, or at least cares about me deeply. And he's told me he plans on us being together for a long time. So I'm just trying not to worry about not having heard those words from him, and just focusing instead on the fact that he treats me incredibly well and with great respect. The words will come later.

Fascinating yet complex word. Im a firm believer in unconditional love however after 2 long relationships i had also learned that for relationships to work love needs to be at the same DEEP UNCONDITIONAL giving level and goals for each other.....I also learned that loves matures, changes its ways and sometimes (oddly enough) can become reserved, cautious. I can say i have loved unconditionally in the past, felt all the sparks, uncontrolable heart beats, experienced sinergy at its best and thought nobody in this world was feeling as good as I was when around that person. With time i can exrience, love has a different turn, feeling, angle, twist and maturity in my heart. Love have different phases in our lives. While I still feel all the sparks, uncontrolable heart beats, etc...now I'm more in content and phasing down emotions, feelings, responses and reactions of my love. It is more like streching out all those beautiful feelings and enjoying every second of it. Bottom line is that as long as we experience the journey of love and evolve with it, love is the greatest feeling our hearts can hold, nurture and manifest for another person. It is much better to say that I had loved than to say I never did...The beauty of love is such extensive that applies to almost any kind of realtionship there is...it just have different spark depending of the type of relationship(s). Love deep and unconditionally, free yourself with happiness and enjoy every bit of it..... M Love. Fascinating yet complex word.
