I always knew that there was something that drove me crazy about the the words, "Long Term". When I see those words I am instantly reminded of the many, many, wonderful people (even though Im thinking girls, women) that I have been blessed to know- Each and every one in my life for a time not so determined by my design. Probably just as well, given my track record of controlling my own destiny.
Causes me to wonder if I am not being a bit presumptuous when I say I seek a commitment, or for that matter offer one that is based on the promise of being there for a long period of time...
Sounds nice, I'll love you forever.... Makes me wonder, who's clock are we going by? I have a sneaky suspicion that in the "time" scheme of things my
timepiece runs on energy that is external rather than internal- and for me,
may run out- at any time.
In my last typical relationship- I remember thinking one day what a gas it would be to grow old and still have that woman in my life. You know, it would have been. I do know that my love for her is indeed long term- or at least, as long as Ive got to feel this way.

To me long term is when you finally meet that person who you know you want to grow old with and accept it and let him in or her as would be in your case. I am going through that now. I have met the wonderful,nice romantic man I have been dreaming of for years and we think alike and have so much in common and make each other laugh and smile. I am teaching him things about internet and computer that he does not know and he is going to teach me more about fishing and hunting which I have great interest in. I can already see us enjoying many days together. I don't view long term as settling in or being bored, but I view it as an adventure and am glad to finally meet the person who I want to share my happiness, joy, life and love with, he is not completing me or my life he is adding to the joy of my life and I to his. We compliment each other, laugh together, talk together, watch movies together, cuddle, go on road trips together even on the not so good times when weather was bad and we could not be together the feelings and care from both of us is still there. Everyone we meet and share pieces of ourselves with will always have a place in our heart, forever. However long forever is for each of us varies. Once you know it is real and not a game and both people have the same thoughts and feelings don't be afraid to give in it is not a prison but a new turn in life, a new adventure. Stay positive. These are my thoughts, feelings and perspective on these matters. Do with them what you may.

Very few people find 'true love'...a love that has no time frame...a love that keeps a person waking up next to the other half of their soul every moring, turning to them and loving them more and more each day. But....it happens...sadly sometimes we only realise it after its gone.
With respect,
Tsisqua

Commitment to oneself is where it all begins. I believe we know what we control, which is simply our will and consistency to our integrity. Simply goals of the self are what we strive for and like I say 90% is a pretty good human score. What I'm finding in life is we are brought relationships based on what we put out there and exude. Each man I've ever met, even on CL, has taught me something about myself, my needs, my desires, my wants. You are so right... time is not something we have control over... but it is the test in all of us. It is said that as we grow, we grow closer to ourselves which in turn brings to us what we are searching for. The control comes in through choice. Luckily I have some older wiser woman in my life. Most of them have it took until 50 to put themselves first.. some married, some divorced, some in the wrong relationship for the wrong reasons. What I've been told is to be true to me first... and the right choices will appear. I've been told to have fun, do it all, and have no regrets and keep experimenting while being true to Robin. It's been while since I recognized those valuable words. Thank you for bringing them to mind with this blog.
