@Estarley77: well if a person man are woman is still holding on to the past they shouldn't be in a relationship I mean to me its hard to grab the future when your hands are tied up with the past

Yes i beleive people can connect on a level that is beyond awesome. If they leave past experience of pain behind.

I love myself as much as i love my daughter and i want to find that special guy who will love me and her as much as we can love him back

@yochoice: yes but is that not what a relationship is about to help one another get past things and to stick with one another no matter what thats where communication comes in talk about things work through things even past issues because everyone has a past we are human just some need help getting though their past

I see someone that trys to do the right thing all the time. Some one kind and respectful and true to himself and honest.

@brats52005: I agree

@brats52005: i like that its a good summary ty

@Estarley77: Thank you. Learned that lesson myself.

This is true but the way i look at it is. Everyone deserves a chance to be themselves without the fear of getting hurt by another person. Ive been here awhile and ive seen more post or threads why do men do this. Why do women do that. It saddens me because they arent really ready for dating or a relationship yet but they dont want to be lonely.

@brats52005: well isn't being yourself part of growing into a new and better person as you get older so how can a relationship grow if someone is still living in and holding you accountable for there past
