They took down the stories I asked them to, it just took a bit for it to register on google that they are gone. Hopefully everyone else has the same level of success that I did dealing with that site.
Studies like this always seem to overlook how the personal beliefs of each group play into the situation. From growing up in a very religious community, I know that the same religious pressures which kept certain couples from living together before marriage will also keep them from divorcing no matter how long ago they realized they didn't love each other anymore. From my own observations, these stats only show that the people who are more likely to live together before getting married are also more likely to be willing to get a divorce when it doesn't work out. It doesn't mean that their marriages are any less fulfilling or successful than those who didn't live together first.
For me personally, I would have no problem with cohabiting before a marriage, and would actually prefer it so that I can get a taste of what life would be like with her.
Always chasing the big dreams, stumbling over the little things, but never giving up.
With her riding me, cowgirl, I suppose you would call it.
LG Shine with Google. (Android phone) It's got a few flaws, but I like it.
My Vikings pick is looking good so far, helped out by a Kaeding being hurt. Kind of feel bad for those who either didn't know about, or didn't understand the confidence points, though.
Happy Birthday Gorgeous! I know it usually works the other way, but hopefully you'll gift us with a birthday story, should you ever come back around this place.
Thanks for making this place so great. Here's to another year of greatness for you.
Mandarin and or Vietnamese would be useful because I'd like to visit that part of the world some day, and to be able to at least understand a little of the language of the land would be very useful. But for now, I'd like to polish both my Spanish and French to the point where I'm as fluent in both as I am in English.
They used to be right, now they are an hour off. Although the times posted on my profile page with the last ten posts I made were always 3 hours off. (Pacific Time, when I'm Eastern)
This is something relatively minor, but I think would help negate the complaints about word games dominating the Latest Posts list. I notice that as of right now, when I go into one of the subsections, such as Site Related or Personal/Relationships the Latest Posts list is there too, and still shows the last 5 posts for the entire site. Would it be possible to have that filtered so that it only shows the latest 5 posts for whichever subsection you are in? That way if I only really care about what happens in General I can see what is being discussed, even if the last 5 were in the same forum. Currently only one of those threads would show up under Last Post, for say, The Think Tank.
I think it all depends on how you define love. If you are talking about the never-ending "I want to spend the rest of my life with only you" kind of love, then no, I don't think that can happen on lush alone. There's a physical aspect to that type of love which just can not be satisfied online no matter how great the cyber is. There is no cyber equivelant to me having my arms around her, feeling her touch against my skin. Doesn't even have to be sexual, it's an intimacy that can't happen online.
But, if we are talking about love as an emotion where the other person's happiness, or general emotional state affects your own, then yes, I do believe it is possible to love a person you met on lush. In some ways, it may actually be even easier to reach that point online than in real life, because the physical doesn't get in the way. Words are really all you have, so you take the time to get to know each other for who you truly are deep down inside. And when you truly know the other person, you share his or her hopes and dreams. Your heart fills with joy for every opportunity they get, and truly hurts when things don't go their way.
I used to live in a general store. Now I live in a simple one bedroom apartment in a low-rise complex.
I'm in. Gotta take the title from LadyX.
