It is a big chess game! From what you write - it sounds like you do a great job - the beach, the tractor, the work, the friends!<BR/><BR/>T - I have never been good at showing a softer side which is odd as I am also treated more like a lady than any of my friends ever were. Contradictions all over the place. I definitely want to be equal if not nurtured just a bit. There are days when I just want to let go and see what happens... but I can't; I don't. <BR/><BR/>Something to work on!<BR/><BR/>Just a Man - I am usually at Starbucks around 8:30... I am the one in the fabulous shades!! <BR/><BR/>Companionship, enrichment, and the knowledge that I am not needed but wanted just as he is a desired part of my life and is comfortable with the reality that I do not need him... without it being an unbalanced relationship.

Balance? I teeter everyday. Just keep being you… it works and when the timing is right everything will work out…or so I believe. <BR/><BR/>E, I attract similar women…those who have a void and see me as all they lack or need. I avoid those and seek / wait for the one who doesn’t need me to do a darn thing for her…except be there. To be strong when she wants/needs to be weak… To hold when she wants to be held…. To listen when she wants to talk… To be her partner in life… To witness her life as we live it together. <BR/><BR/>I believe what T says… “We have to show some weakness, even though it means taking a risk, in order to find someone who does want to be soft and intimate with us.” - The hard part is finding that without getting hurt too much along the way. I am tired of the takers myself.<BR/><BR/>Why can’t I bump into you in Starbucks?

I think we have to b...Whoa. We sound so much alike. <BR/><BR/>I think we have to be willing to be "soft and giving and generous" not only sexually but in the rest of our lives as well. If we always come across as "have it all together" women (because we have to be that way), we're going to attract men who want to be babied and taken care of. We have to show some weakness, even though it means taking a risk, in order to find someone who does want to be soft and intimate with us. <BR/><BR/>I certainly don't mind taking care of a man but this time, I'd like to be nurtured in return. <BR/><BR/>Great post!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10112766306021310705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218017137310902714.post-23408153113783671962008-07-17T16:58:00.000-04:002008-07-17T16:58:00.000-04:00Ugh.
