And I agree--when we're secure in ourselves we tend to take things much less personally.<br /><br />Bone: Love Connection is old school. I always think of Blind Date.<br /><br />Ok Chick: You hit the nail on the head....when we voice our emotions it makes them more real, which is scary for most of us.<br /><br />Mamacita: I think we operate similarly. It's easy for me to excuse my desire for self-preservation with the argument that I'm just seeking reality/truth, which is good but not always the true motivator behind my actions.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-30388851335083570372009-04-20T10:25:00.000-05:002009-04-20T10:25:00.000-05:00So what are you going to do if the date doesn't go...So what are you going to do if the date doesn't go well?

Never again though.<br /><br />And I do know that Gin Blossoms song quite well :)<br /><br />Unfortunately, when you mentioned dating show, the first thing I thought of was Love Connection.

...So many great points in this post. I can relate. <br /><br />"I especially like to act like something doesn't matter from the get-go...that way, I figure, it won't hurt if it doesn't work out." I feel most of the time, it's easier to act than really show our emotions. when we show our emotions it becomes real, we have to deal with things, and people see that we are weak- so we think. If more people showed their true emotions the world might be a better place, or a more honest place! <br /><br />Great band reference! :)OK Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729372117518869463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-81839423827738632102009-04-17T08:00:00.000-05:002009-04-17T08:00:00.000-05:00A good friend recently told me, "I love the way yo...A good friend recently told me, "I love the way you tell me a struggle and before I comment, you've already talked yourself thru the issue and are completely resolved and then there's really nothing for me to say." She knows me well. And I do that, habitually, b/c 1. I'm a self-preservationist to the extreme and 2. b/c there is this small side of me that does want to always focus on Truth and plain ole reality. So it's not at all simple and easily labeled, is it? Well, journey on my friend.Tiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800867513754493678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-18457191650219870982009-04-17T01:34:00.000-05:002009-04-17T01:34:00.000-05:00Thomas: You're probably right, but at least I offe...Thomas: You're probably right, but at least I offered to let him choose his blog name and/or use his real name (complete with a link to his blog).Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-15733783255291089242009-04-17T01:32:00.000-05:002009-04-17T01:32:00.000-05:00Maybe you should refer to Match Guy #5 as somethin...Maybe you should refer to Match Guy #5 as something not so dehumanizing.
