this says alot......
and when raymond read it out loud to me his voice cracked and he had tears in his eyes and he kissed me and said baby you ARE MY treasure.. and i love you.. Sweet N Louisiana
Somebodys someone someday
No im not rich like oprah
Or A mrs rockafeller
No I don’t look like Christy
Or one of those supermodels
I don’t drive a fancy car
Or have my”signature”
On a fancy perfume bottle
I don’t own a designer label
Or wear clothes with such
What I have is mine
Though some might think its
NOT MUCH
No I don’t live in a palace
Just a humble little place
I work hard for for every dime
and Bide my time
Till with a turn of his head
My someone shows up
I will know him when he does
I will see it in his eyes
And yes he will
Recognize
That’s its me
Hes looking for
I’ll open that door
And let him
In and THEN
I will feel like i
Am
The richest one on earth..
The most sassiest
Prettiest redhead
Cause im that somebodys
Someone and hes
MY treasure
Beyond Measure.. so baby
Claim your treasure in Me

People always try to see the potential and not accept. I have it done to me all the time and I say I am what I am.......Just like me as I am.

I think we so often have an "idea" or "perception" of who that new guy/girl in our life is. As time passes we begin to see more of who the person really is. It's natural (for me, anyway) to want to fine-tune some things about the person I'm with. I'm sure they think the same of me. You choose your battles. If there small idiosyncracies, get over it. If it's something you just cannot get over...well, maybe it's time to make a change. JMO

What an interesting thread! I just recently went through something like this. I met a very nice man. Actually, he was the nicest and most genuine man I have met in my 7 yrs of being single. I thought how lucky am I to finely meet that genuine man! But, what attracted me in the beginning within a few weeks was the very thing thing that pushed me away. I realized I had become his 'puppy'! Let me explain. When he and I were together his tone of voice was different. Everything I did, said, wore and looked was WONDERFUL! When I observed him with his friends I saw a different person. I saw the person I wanted to be friends with. I do not want to be put on a pedestal (because I will surely fall from that) I did not want to be spoken to like I was a puppy (I want to be his friend). This is who he is....and I am not that kind of woman. He deserved a woman that will appreciate what he can give. I wouldnt dream of asking him to change....he is who he is.

sure every now and then Bella. But this nice guy needed a princess and that I am not. I am to independent to be waited on hand and foot. I know it sounds great doesnt it? But, I am not helpless. The crux of the situation is he was smothering and needed a woman that would be totally dependent on him. And I am not that type of woman. My point was he is what he is and deserves to find a woman that will appreciate what he can give. I just wasnt that woman and I cannot expect him to try and change.

Annie...there is a woman for every man, and the other way around. Sounds like you were thoughtful enough to realize that this was not good for either of you. You are a good person.

I was accused of trying to change a man in a previous relationship... In the beginning of a relationship, the constant calls, attention, let's do this, let's do that, etc seemed great...after awhile, I expected some change in behavior, you know, like when the newness wears off and life comes back into prospective...the problem is that the calls became more frequent, the need for attention was ever growing and completely overwhelming to me, the dependence on me became so great that I couldn't seem to breathe, let alone make a decision without telling him about it...when I asked him to call less frequently, explained that I had other commitments (like work, school, family) he told me that I KNEW that he was like that in the beginning and should have told him that I didn't like it....accused me of trying to CHANGE him...WTF...
As time goes on, we learn more about each other...what seems great in the beginning may turn into something else after awhile (like total obsession and stalking). WHile I don't agree with changing another person, as in who they are, we should be honest upfront...now, I am very upfront in relationships...let them know right off if something bothers me... men will try to change women as well...it's not a one way street...

I think everyone changes in their lifetime. I know I myself have..and for the better. But I wouldnt want too change anyone. We are who we are !!
I havent dated anyone that wanted to change me, I guess I was lucky on that aspect.
If you really like someone, you dont really notice..any changes.
But then again what do I know..I am still single..haha
Just my thoughts
