Someone you would know when you found her and know when you lost her. I like your coming home analogy too. I am glad for you and your sweetie.morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817293003630581559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592457284535021553.post-52204649631981814722011-04-19T11:23:56.270-04:002011-04-19T11:23:56.270-04:00Hi Karen,

Sometimes they were afraid if they didn't buy certain products they wouldn't be liked. I guess it isn't too surprising to find fear can't keep us from certain actions too.morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817293003630581559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592457284535021553.post-88260979404420667212011-04-19T11:14:52.713-04:002011-04-19T11:14:52.713-04:00Morgan, This post really gets to me. I love your h...Morgan, This post really gets to me. I love your honesty...By God, I'd date you if I were a man! LOL. I dated several men...a couple of them multiple times, for several years. I could have gotten married to either of two of them and been "reasonably" happy. Somehow, even at 26, I realized it wasn't the man who was in charge of making me happy. It was myself. From that time onward, I looked for other things in the guys I dated...Mostly how they respected and communicated with me. How they supported me and asked me about my dreams. How they had dreams of their own. What kind of father I think they would be. I thought about what kind of person I wanted to grow old with...<br />I told myself the man I would marry would be worth the wait. And he was. My husband is not perfect, but he's my prince. As you say, he "gets" me. I had to kiss a lot of frogs, but boy was he worth the wait. I don't know if that helps you any, but I just wanted to put out there that it's more than the things they do and say...the butterflies and lust aside, it's about a feeling of coming home when you're with that person. Knowing that they're going to put you first. That's what I was waiting for anyway. That's how I knew he was the one. :) Fantastic post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592457284535021553.post-67260083094419529912011-04-18T20:23:29.637-04:002011-04-18T20:23:29.637-04:00Hi Morgan. If the question is one for yourself, I ...Hi Morgan. If the question is one for yourself, I think you already know the answer but you mentioned fear and it's a powerful force. I've been married (2nd time) for 17 years and really don't miss the dating scene although when I was dating, I've always preferred monogamous relationships but being the romantic I am, I began the search for my one soul-mate in first grade. LOL. I think most know where they're going but it's a tough world and people are tired of getting hurt but that's a subject for another day.
